' In an .article - on, dream poetry The
London Globe, we are Informed, re
cites a number of Instances which Are

"In the latest eerles of Sir Mountaturat

that the - laU Lord Lytton, viceroy ; of

The Norfolk Landmark considers the
cynicism of the final clause of r The,
Globe's comment unpardonable '. And
thinks it easy to believe that I-ord
Lytton really dreamed the rhymes be
submitted to hla guests. As in some
sort supporting Its belief. It axaln
musters out for public admiration its
favorite poem, saying, as It has said
before, that a very young friend of Us
dreamed this beautiful "Ode to the
Skunk:"
The skunk comes knocking at my door
This creature has been here before.
Oh, sister, shall we let hlrrf in?
To shut him out would be a sin.
So kind a creature Is the skunk.
All dav he lies within his bunk;
But when night comes, abroad he roams
And visits many happy homes.
"This," The Landmark unveracious
ly declares, "is the production that
completely floored The Charlotte Ob
server, which bad previously claimed
poetical supremacy for North Caro
lina." That this production floored
The Observer we Indlgnsntly deny. We
admired It upon its first appearance
and said so frankly. Properly speak
ing, there should be no State Unas In
the republic of letters and we can do
Virginia Justice whenever that State

The Landmark challenges a compari
son of the gifts of North Carolina and
Virginia poets it courts Its own con
fusion. None of Its folks has ever pro-

In reply to a query in The Observer
of last Friday as to whether It had
succeeded in landing that reporter for
which it has been advertising. The
Rock Hill. S. C Record says not yet,
hut that It has not lost hope. "We
have had applications," says The Rec
ord, "from all, sorts and conditions o(
menfrom Georgia, in the South, up
to West Virginia, and even from one
man In Illinois. But the man needed
has riot yet been landed." Continuing,
The Record says: "It la unfortunate,
but true, that the young men of the
day are not content to start at the
ower rung of the ladder, with small
but commensurate wages," and asks:
'Can The Observer glvs us a. solution
of the problem?" We cannot. The
Observer was hoping that its Rock
Hill contemporary had already found
a way out of the difficulty.
Things In North Carolina move so
apldly that w are not surprised that
our Tennessee and Virginia contempo
raries get rather far behind In at
tempting to keep track of them. We
find In last Rjitunlay's issue of The
Norfolk Landmark an article copied

one night They had made no note of
