It appears that 4n Bremen county, Iowa, the pTiyslclana recently formed' a regular union along lines learned front labor organizations, with uch features as the boycott and the "closed shop." Results have been Interesting. From N. A. R. D.

The Charleston News anJ Courier, tthl.li had learned to. believe that Its community "enjoyed tho unique dl-i-tinotidn of commercial martyrdom," hai had ita eyes opened wide since the railroads unbottkd Charleston. This Incident has drawn our contem porary's attentloa to the existence mt other oppressed cities, and it namea Charlotte and Chattanooga . among those justly demanding similar relief. "However,' It continues, , I"we may congratulate Charlotte and Chatta nooga on the plendld , struggle, .that they have made trader these terribly adverse conditions. r It is almost " in credible that tholr great -and1 steady prosperity and growth have been. maintained and Increased.,- It per fectly clear that the energy and the brains of the people of .those com come any and all obstacles, Juat as they have been eufficient in-Charleston to bring thl city to-the-occupancy of a stronger position In, the commercial world at present than H has had before lo Ms history." , V. f ' The New and Courier haV beej! slow to learn, these utslde-ChaTles ton facts, but tt states lihemVelhand truly.

And the sooner the railroads realize thnt they will never .

We note with no little excitement that the Bull of the Brushles, known In private life as Col. Romulus Z. Llnney, roared at the Appalachian forest reserve pjtojeet again the other day. The place was Warrensvllle, Ashe county, eighth congressional dis trict, and the time was two hours. From our oorrospondenfs excellent report we assume that Colonel Llnney has changed his' method of attack. He did not delve Into mediaeval for estry laws and argue by Implication that the erection of forest reserves under all circumstances a crime against humanlity, degrading bold re-omen t6 villeinage or quasl-serfdom, but bitterly denounced the bill pend ing before Congress as "a scheme of the Yankees of New York, and Penn sylvania to sell these worthless moun tains to the government." Whan the echoes of his peroration had ceased reverberating In the mountains round about he called upon fill who were fippoced to the forest reserve to as Fiinrvei a vertical position,, and every body present stood up against W. "Wouldn't H be a devil of a calamity If they were jto send LJnney bark to Congress? " quotn tt(e wily Bini.or the Brushles by way of delicate hint to the 'ppiatii1!ng thfong. Vpon such an lsmje as this we are compelled to say,' despite our'-known admiration for the speaker, that we really think It would. What a pity thnt Mr. Dug ger, Colonel Unney's victor at Boone, could not have been present to over whelm hl.m beneath torrent of liquid oratory also at Warrensvllle! A WAY OI7T. The Washington Post had an edi torial Friday which seems Important enough to be reproduced conspicu ously: "Tho financial stringency in New York City ran be ended'ttulckly -ind effectively b iiroinjil co-operste n-tlon of the Sit ivt try, ij the Treasury n ml tlm naiion.il it.inkM of tlie country.

THE STATE'S GREAT LOSS. hn the death of 'John Charles Mc Nelll the State losea the finest poetic genius ever norn within its borders. Mrs. Mary Bayard Clarke easily sur passed him in the volume' of her lit erary output and In years of poetic activity; Edwin W. Fuller was more Intellectual and knew better how to blend severe argument with flowing verse; Theophilus Hunter Hill has touched chords of despair and voiced moods of hopelessness that were alien to the heart as they were foreign to the disposition of McNeill; and Johs Henry Boner haa written one poem equal If not superior to anything yet produced by a native North Carolin ian. , t v But not one of these was the equal 6f McNeill. He surpassed them In natural endowment. In range and del icacy of sympathy, In loving familiar ity with the homes and habits of wooJIand things, in subtle knowledge of the great primal emotions of the heart, and In that still raseT gift of craftsmanship, without which the greatest genius must remain Inarticu late. McNeill ,was a poet because he looked life straight In the eyes, feltjhe virgin wonder and glory of It all, and kpew how to body forthhls freenhfr in lint's exqulsfte art and compelling appeal. I would rather hnve written "Songs, Merfy and Sad," than to have the costliest monument In the State erected to my memory1, The equal of that little volume has not appeared in the Bouth since Sid ney Lanier fell on sleep twenty-six years ago. A more unselfish man than McNeill I have never known, nor a wiser not wis In prudential virtues, but In the wisdom that comes. If It come at all, from lovo. Insight, Intuition, and over flowing sympathy. As the first winner of the Patter son cup he becomes In a very real sense our firt rtoeMaureate. Th honor could not nave been bestowed upon a sweeter, gentler, worth ier spirit. The cup will henceforth hive an added value because his nnme will enhance it and his fame win dedicate it. C.

AW though r do not kn6w his mother, should like for you to send to her this expression of personal distress even irom a stranger. ne wi . bioui Bpiru.anu in my Judgment the only genuine poet that tne souin nas produced In 60 years, Hayno might b .excepted, but Mc-i iveiu, to. Dy sense, was greater. He was tne Robert Rur'ns of the South ana ror tnat matter of America. No one else haa glorified the clod, il- lumined the furrow and enveloned the little farm house with its family una environments in ucn true and tender colors as ne. I remember him on the Journey through New England with Governor Glenn isome two years ago. In the different cities where Governor Glenn responded to tiwsts at banquets Exeter, Portland, Concord, St. JOhnsbury and others McNeill wa a lithe, angular, shamb ling, ungainly and homely figure, and yet when he aroae to speak there was a strange, calm' mimic in his voice and a mi) depth in the wonderful dreams of his. great gray eyes. I re member what silence followed upon his first word, as if some new note had fallen upon the ears of the mirth ful- banqueters. He. seemed Intetleo. tually thrilled, it not appalled, by tho new things whlcn startled his lmr- tnatlon Into a kind of an ecstasy 'a f tee- bis pent-up youth m the country up on which he had rea so richly, after the reading under the daks of things he possibly had never hoped, to see. His presence during bur Journey was a spiritual periume u was more It was a kind of unobtrusive, soothing color of a pac with that which comes in the evening sky when the sun Is nearly 'gone. ,,v , -. . Without . gullet with ..dreams , that reached forth far beyond the horlison of his fellows,, with simplicity. , with out knowledge of that Insight of his which could transform the light of a mere fire-fly , to that - of a star like "the ploughman mld the fields of Ayr the ploughman who midst faui and fair he sang at his task." "v I do not ellevs that hl measure has yet been, accurately taken. Had be been born in; the desert it would have blossonjed, What came from him could not "have been impeded y environment.

He rambled sometimes 1 seemingly aim lessly.. He did , not see things with the eye;- he intuitively grasped all es sential details where others were blind Ao them before their very eyes. This was illustrated In his botes on New England, wherein he breathed pne in North Carolina the' atmosphere he had breathed in there. v ', " - The ' thrusn will lose some of t Its melody because he Is gone.

If there be dreams of which we do not know let us be assured that the fragrance of his soul free from the flesh will be gra cious to the sense of spirits we know not -of.

"Touched by his hand the waysldo wewd. T'ocomes a flower, the lowliest reed Beside the stream Is clothed with beauty gore and grass .-:';.-,-, And heather where his footsteps pas ' The brlgbter seems." Like Challorton with whose na ture he had points in . common he went straight from the cradle to ths fatal central light that at once is the life and the death of the genuine poet " ' The pity of Itl ? ; To die so young and leave ' Unfinished what he might achieve." Let him sleep and Ms ' people will keep his body warm with a coverlet of flowers and on his tomb over his young life might well e cut "A little warmeth, a little light Of love's bestowing, and so good-night." W. & CHKlSTiAH. Atlanta,' Qa.. ; IXMEMOniAJl.

Why was It Marv for Him to make a man? That Is a hard surn also to figure out. But there was a purpose, ana so nse wise in the creation ft the doodle. But the North Carolina 'bright young man rounds It up In beautiful style that must a ppeal to every .reader. It certainly did to me. And here It is again; - ' "Perhaps who made the rosea sweet Ana maae tne oiue-ssy imii ' That weary human hearts might Una Surcease of toil and care, tteslgned this dusty delver,' this petty beast of prey. .
