Other' similar examp'es may-be found in "An Evening Early in Spring." "Time of Drought." "A Coun try House in the South," "The Moon Loved Land," The Song of the Old Mill Wheel." and "Sparrows In the Snow." ; . . Reminiscences of his boyhood are beautifully related in "The Boy in the Piney Woods" and "Hunting Musca dines." In the latter, note the sunshine of youth, the vividness of the scene, and the music of the rhythm, es ho sings: .;;,:.,.'.' v':.'..--:y-:''. v.-.

He Is at one time rollick some and cheerful, at another, sad and seriousi i now Imaginative, then artis tically, strikingly real. Mr. Stockard says, " 'Crismus Times is Come" la the whole negro race at a touch." His best poem Is" "Poe's . Cottage at Fordham," of which Edmund Clar ence Stedman, writing In a recent number of The Century says: "After the test of time It seems to have taken its place as a little' classic, and is one of the finest American JyrJca ia peint of melodV; form and Impassioned con veyance for a haunting impression." With two stanzas of this poem which represents the poet at his best, we take leave of his. work, to explore an entirely different field of poetry: . ; "Here lived the oul enchanted By melody of song; . Here dwelt the spirit haunted . By demonial throng; Here sang the lips elated; '' : . Hero grief and death were sated; Here loved and here numated Was he so frail so strong. - ... t Here though this lowly portal, Made sacred by his name, ' Vnheralded immortal v The mortal went and, came.

This with occasional contributions to such mag- :n, cl:i : i Sous e I ' ::" we f.r. 1 cf ; . ; Ex.u t !c ar.i Fch'ijriy in in thought, his pen .-rms woll adapted to tho production i f guch poo-:ns. Mark the glowing trib ute to the Southprn soldier in "To a Confederate Veteran." "A more unfading chanlet than shoulds't wear Than e'er the Gaul or Spartan wore." Other poems of this kihd are "The Pines," "Washington," "The Southern Dead." "Over Their Graves," and his most excellent poem "The Last Charge at Appomattox." ;r . .. But Mr. Stockard Js not confined to patriotic verse, be has shown skill in excellent description, as in "An Even ing Song" and "An Autumn Song," from the last of which I quote the fol lowing: . "But hail to the fall and hall' To her hills of flaming gold, Her starlit, nights, her frost that whites .. At morning-mead and wold! . - ''A22Ly't0Ane 3eep rown woods.

"Nor cried the wiad, nor made the- sea s its moan i Upon tho harbor bar, " As out he drifted to the great unknown, . So far away so far!" However, we find Mr. Stockard at his best in the production of sonnets, examples of which aro "Unattalned," "Shakespeare," and "Some Verses Carol." In these he" shows marked book culture. A reviewer In The At lantic 'Monthly said that "some of his sonnets rise 'distinctively above the common level, and are decidedly bet ter, than most of the modern verse," Frank L. Stanton. In The Atlanta Con 8titutlon said, "We repeat that no one to-day Is writing better sonnets tham those which bear Mr. Stockard's sig nature if indeed he Is equalled, In ithis'most difficult form of verse There are ladrels for this poet of the Old North State; the bays are bloom. Ing for him from far away." ; r with what I consider his two best sonnets I conclude my review of his work ' ' MY LIBRARY. . At times these walls enchanted 'fade, it seems.

Professor Sledd's poe try is refined an4 elevated In quality, crystalline In thought, and artistic I style. His work throughout iaf charac terized by personal sincerity,' for as one reads he catches glimpses of pages from the poet's own life. Two volumes have, thus far appeared from his pen 'From Cliff and Scour," (1897)' and ''Watches of the Hearth" (19 01),' both of which have met with the most fa- But why is my loss so bitter? 'Tls what all mothers have known; Pnr thnuarh we still are mothers, we may not claim our own.' , Says The Boston Transcript: "Vigor of thought and of expression-are the characteristics of the poems by Benja min Sledd. gathered into a little vol umi called "The Watchers of the Hearth," and there need toe no heslta tion in assigning Mr. Sledd a pro ml nent Dosltlon among the American verse-writers of tho present moment.' ' "All through your work," says Wil liam Dean Howell, "I find a sympathy with more delicate and refined moods of nature and of literature and a poet's sense of the world of mystery which enspheres them both. Tourpath has not been in the" beaten roads, and you have known how to win a peculiar charm for your verse." ":'. The poems of the first volume are especially noticeable for their delicacy of form, their sympathy with nature and their persuasive mysticism. He is continually weaving Into them mys tery and legend, making them highly Interesting. In beauty and richness of imagination, some passages, we be lieve, have never been equalled by any American poet. As an example of how Dr. Sledd plays around elfish legend read "The Ballad of Otter Hill." It 18 written In a racy style with a rush of narrative, and quick, ,suggestlv yet delicately comitate description. ' Pome critic has said "of It, "Its breath of mystery and liveliness of Imagination is a great and permanent addition to the ballad poetry of our literature." There Is a world of pathos In "Out of the Depths and even the hardest heart would soften? whenMts meaning Is comprehended. "Lillian" and "Alice"v are charming poems In which are woven beautiful love stories. Among his excellent sonnets "Life's Triumph" is the best. Reviewing "The Watchers cf the Hearth," Public Opinion says, "It is a marked advance over Its predecessor. The paternal love, the main theme of the volume can not fail of respone; the love poetry has a graceful tender ness booming at times almost intense; the yearning love for nature has the added charm of the feelinar that the Ms a mysterious life back of all phe- uumentt . . . . . Mr. eiedd 'Is a sin cere poet and conscientious artist." Dr. W. L. Poteat says ot the same, ','In the dainty volume before us a genuine poet heart finds utterance. These poems are not.echoes.-but- the unconstrained and free Outpouring of a sjngularly delicate and tender soul, which sings Its own song and not an other's, and sings it truly because it nas nvea-Tieepiy. . , ' .

(.1306), is the last volume so far contributed to North Carolina verse, and, coming as It does from the pen "of a "comparatively young poet, we are not surprised to find poetry of a lighter vein than that we have con sidered. His poetry is characterized by a lightness of touch, grace and melo dy, and the buoyancy of youth per vading the entire collection. He is gay, cheerful and rolllcksome-, and there is scarcely a note of sadness or melanr choly to be foud. In this respect, his poetry is distinct from that of ' our other poets, presenting an entirely dlf- ierent, though very popular class of poetry which has, been cordially re ceived by the public, he being really tne nrst poet to reach the people of the. State.-, Hla. themes are best told in his own words, " , : : . " ' "The little , loves and sorrows 're my song: - . . Tho leafy lanes and birthsteads of my sires.

O'er oft-told Joys, and ghosts of ancient : wrong; ' The little wares' and carols that belong To home hearts and old rustio lutes . and lyres, And spreading acres, where calm-eyed desires Wake with the dawn, unfevered, fair, . 'and strong," ; Nor are charm and melody, sweet ness and Inspiration lacking In the ex-, ecution of his work. He is indeed an interpreter bf the feelings of the human heart, and of, things about him, and is truly possessed of the "faculty divine." ' His be.st work is, perhaps, shown in his love poems, "OhrAsk "Me Not," "Pardon Time" "For Jane's Birth day," In all of which he portrays strong sweet passion. ; "Love's Fash ion, and "Valentine" show that the author is not unacquainted with Cu pid's art v Two' Pictures" is suggestive or dif ferent conditions of society, and does not fall to appeal to one, .

Familiar., home and plantation scenes Mr. McNeil is not at a loss to portray. ''Harvest" and 'Before Bed time" are good examples, the last of which I quote In full: "The cat sleeps in a chimney jam With ashes in her fur. - An Tige, from on the yuther side, -He keeps his eyes on ..her, The Jar 0' curds 1 on ihe hearth, .

Though No Of ficial Statement is Obtainable. Special to The Observer. Gastonla, Hay 11. From Gastonia to Charlotte by electric railwaythat is one of the possibilities of the next year or two. Not only is it a possibil ity,, tut the construction or sucn a line seems highly probable. The ba sis for this statement Is the fact that a proposed route for sucha line has been surveyed. Mr. W. Lu Law, chief engineer for the Four C's, and his corps of assistants reached Gastonia Thursday afternoon.- the terminal stake being driven down about 8 o'clock almost In front of the Falls House.' ' ' - In conversation with The Observer correspondents Mr. Law stated that the route as surveyed by him takes in Mount Holly, McAdenville, Lowell and Gastonia. the length of the route be ing about 60 miles all told. Thls.line was v surveyed and the tracks laid as far as the- Hosklns Mills, three or four miles west of Charlotte, last summer, and it was be lieved then that the road would be completed to the river by this sum mer, though such is not the case. The line Is, however, in operation to the Hoskins Mills. On a direct line from Charlotte to Gastonia the Ca tawba, river is half way, being eleven mllev from" each town. When the matter was written about In the news papers last summer u was stated that the Four C's had purchased a large parcel of land along the banks of the river and would create therefrorfl a pleasure park. A matter which puzzles the survey or somewhat and which Is not yet definitely settled Is the entrance of the line into the town of. Gastonia.' The survey, as made, would bring tho line In along the old road from up town to the Ozark Mill on the north side of the railroad. The only diffi culty about this route is the possibil ity of its escroachment upon the Southern Railway's right-of-way, though as to the fact in the case, Mr. Law was not prepared to say. The other feasible entrance Is Franklin avenue, east, on the south side of tho Southern Railway, though the engi neer says this Is not practicable as there Is no point between Lowell and Gastonia where , a crossing; either overhead or underneath the . South ern's tracks, could be effected without an enormous expense. A trolley line connecting Charlotte and Gastonia has, for the past three or four years, been regarded as very prpbable and' there seems ample rea son to Justify the belief that it will indeed become a certainty.
