The dirty doors and pavements Are simmering in the heat. He brings a dream to , London, And drags his weary feet. Lavender, lavender, Prom where the bee hums, " To the loud roar of London, With purple dreams he comes. From ragged lanes of wild flowers To ragged London slums, , With a basket full of lavender And purple dreams he comes. Is it nought to you that hear him? With the old strange cry The weary hawker passes, And some will cone and buy. And some will let him pass away And only heave a sigh, Jut most will neither heed hor hear When dreams go by. Lavender, lavender! ' His songs were fair fend sweet. Hp brought us harvest out of heaven. Full sheaves of radiant wheat; ' He brought us keys to' Paradise, And hawked them thro' the street; He brought his dreams to London, And dragged his weary feet. Lavender, lavender! He is sone. The sunset glows; Hut through' the brain of London The mystic fragrance flows. TJach foggy cell remembers. Each ragged alley knows. The land he left behind him. The land to which he goes.

Charlotte Advocating action to the end that a speedy hearing might be given by the state corporation commission on the application for Increased rates for electricity, gas' and car fares in the ;ayor p- Q- Moore yesterday sub mitted a letter to the city council, in T au sessioi in which it was urged that the, city attorney take the proper steps to secure a hearing on the appli- v-nn ui cue Tidewater .Power com pany as quickly as possible. Compli ance to the request on the part of the council was immediate. City Attorney Ruark stated yester day that there has been some little dis cussion as to what he considered his instructions were. from the councilmen and that for the information of the council and the public, he understood the. instructions to mean that in the event it was found the Tidewater Pbwer company was not justified in asking for higher rates for its com modities of sale, he would oppose the application. He is also said to have stated that he will argue that the rates should not be increased, but should be reduced to the former prices or less and that residents receive a rebate on the amount they have paid for gas at the new schedule. Mr. Ruark will leave tomorrow for Raleigh, -where he will confer with the mayor of Raleigh and the? former mayor ' of 'Charlotte, after which he will probably request an immediate hearing. The letter of Mayor Moore, which precipitated action, follows: "It is my understanding that the city of Wilmington has been In readiness for the hearing of the petition of the Tidewater Power company for an in crease of rates for some time, but has been delayed in urging a speedy ruling in the matter by the other cities with whom common cause has been made. "It does not seem reasonable to me that the interests of the people of our city should be held in abeyance by the unreadiness and procrastination of other towns. We are entitled to know, without unnecessary -delay, whether we are to be made to pay the present high rates for gas, and whether the burden of increasedstreet car fares Is to be put upon us. The matter should be de cided, and permit us to turn our thoughts to other affairs. "I would therefore recommend that the city attorney be directed to press for an early hearing of this petition. and to urge that a ruling be given as to the interests of this city at the earliest possible moment."
