NORTH CAROIJLNA MAKES GOOD. F"or tome time past the muteneew ' of thte State's near-singers has do pressed all true patriots. North arollna primacy In near-song fell Into serious peril, even so stalwart an admirer and champion aa The New York Sun losing heart completely. , Soma time before this The Observer had proposed the appointment of a ' legislative comm!ialon to prosecute In vestigations into the matter; no ac tion was taken, however, and bad be came worse. What we may term the , Ayoock-Glenn Agt in North Carolina near-poetical annals was apparently gone, alas! This had been a fetorm and Ftress Period for Uie State; like the Storm and Stress Period in Germany, . it with vaguely felt power set all ths pod, and near-poets busy, but, un like the German stimulus, It seemed ;. to be followed on its departure by dead silence. No literary prognostl cator could see a Kltchln Age ahead when ths present Governor ascended the executive Chair Jour short .'. months -ago. On short wee ago i found the situation still unrelieved ex cept for a few Intervening outbursts by Poet Powell, of Rockingham coun ty, and others Just song enough to render the stillness even more oppres sive by contrast when it ceased. And President Taft would shortly be In North Carolina for a most notable ap- pearance on a most notable occasion. t Both as near-poetry organ and as a North Carolina newspaper. The Ob server sought earnestly how It might smite the rook of the States near poetical resources nd cause celebra tory verse to gush' forth. There was disheartening failure at first, but the Btream which finally came seems nothing fes than a geyser. North Carolina near-poetry h responded nohly. President Taft will not lack an adequate welcome. If you have ears, prepare t'incline them now: Carolinians, one and all. Rich and poor, great and small. From mountain lop to the Atlamlc roast. Let's march, a grand and mighty host. II l'p to Charlotte the Jfttli of May To see and hear what Taft will say; Where our fathers did declare That we'd be free. Taft will be there. ' 111. ' Miould we not feel very great Kor this and Taft to visit our State? Raise your banners high in air; Three cheers, boys, we'll see Taft there! IV. - Man? from Alamance- will be sent To meet our much-loved President Hurrah for Alamai.ee, and Taft so grand! Give him a hearty shake of the hand. Lonr may he live in this our land. He who is so stern and grand. Let's go and see him. don't let It slip, He is our grand and sailing ship. VI. Let's lay by business for one day And to Charlotte city speed mir way. And go to see. with good Intent. William Howard Taft. our President. 1 VII. He's proved It try the word ef mouth That he takes an In' rest In the South. Your politics now lay aside And spread his fame both far and wide. VIII. And now I trust you'll quickly dress And meet Taft In Charlotte In our bext; For prosperous times we've seen and felt Through McKlnley. Taft and Koosevelt. Over these magnificent verses Is In scribed for title Kimply the word "Poem" aa though, forsooth. the poetry were like a picture so poor that the object pictured might not be recognizable unless Its name went along with it. This almost absurd display of modesty apart, we have no criticism accompanying our enthusi astic pralpe. It only remains to In troduce the singer himself. He is Mr. (3. D. Btutts. and h hails from Ala nance county, which, like Mecklen burg, played a great part in liberty's Story. Along with many factory whis tle, Alamance to-day can boast one of the most melodious voices known ,' to contemporary song. ." We very much hope that Puet j Stutt will head the host from his section and. holding before President i Taft'S delighted eyes one of the ban . ners which he mentions, lead the three cheers w hich he bespeaks. We rejoice in the thought that the North Carolina editors and a good ' part of the South Carolina editors will ke here for, the Twentieth. Through The Norfolk Landmark, president, we hereby extend pressing Invitations to . Ch Sound Table; and through The Houston Post, walking delegate, to the Paragraphers" Union. . THE XT7rT OX TEA. 0e-natr Tillman's prepsisa amend in en t t fha tariff bin providing for a duty of tea cents a pound on tea calls forth an expression from The Columbia Record en the subject Mr. Tillman's Object, of course. Is to secure protection to thei amount of the proposed duty for the tea grow ers of South Carolina, tea culture be ing one ef that State's infant Indus tries and a very small Industry in comparison with the amount of tea Imported by the United States. The output of the South Carolina tea farms is twelve thousand pounds an nually, while the 'Importation-reaches one hundred and ten million pounds. A duty of ten cents a pound would produce eleven million dollars of rev enue to the government, and the peo ple's tea bill would be Increased by the same amount. As to the price of tea and the In crease thereof, which would follow from the placing of this duty on the article, our Columbia contemporary says: "Tea retails at from 2S cents to 11.50 per pound, the most commonly used tea costing the consumer from 60 cents to fl. the Sou'h Carolina tea selling at 5 cents and cents usually. It may be estimated, therefore, that the average price of tea per pound is 60 cents in I his count ry. and to add a tax of ten cent per pound means sn increase of i i3 per cent, in the price to the tea consumer " A tax of 16 2-3 per cent, is a heavy one to put on this article; but that la not the greatest hardship. It is the rate at what The Record says Is the average price; but we must bear In mind that a great many consumers of tea buy a tfheaper article, and they, of course, are among the poorer classes. These persons will be taxed more than the average of It 2-3 cents, while those who can afford to buy that which sells above the average price will be taxed much less. With a duty of ten cents per pound on tea the person whotouys the 25-cent qual ity will pay a tax of 40 per cent., while his more prosperous neighbor who can afford the $1.50 quality is taxed only t 2-3 per cent. We can see no fairness or Justice In this. If It is necessary to put a duty on tea to assist In providing a reve nue for the government, let It be an ad valorem tax, which will bear alike on all consumers of the article. If It is considered advisable to establish this tax as a protection to the South Carolina tea growers and to encour age more extensive production, why tax to the extent of 40 per cent, grades used by the poorer classes not coming In competition with the prod ucts of the South Carolina farms? This Is a very clear Instance where If there is to be any duty at .all it should be ad valorem and not spe cific. The former would bear equally on all classes, while a specific duty would make the tax on the cheapest grade over alx times greater than that of the most expensive. AND THAT REMIXIXH CS. Solemn declarations by the French Chamber of Deputies that the gov eminent postal employes could not strike, made at the time the service was completely suspended in the cap ital and other cities by a strike of the employes, reminds us of a cer tain Incident in Senator Vance's ca reer as a soldier In the Confederate army. During Vance's captaincy of a com pany. In making his report as officer of the guard on one occasion, he stat ed that Lieut. So-and-So had been arrested and was then In the guard house. The officer of the .day, on reading the report, said: "Why, Cap tain, you can't put a commissioned officer in the guard house In that way." Vance replied: "Yes, I can "I tell vou. you cannot." said the officer. "Well," rejoined the captain 'If you will go down to the guard house and peep In you will see whether 1 can or not. for the lieu tenant Is certainly In there." Had the French Deputies taken the trouble to make Investigation on the day they adopted that resolution they would have found out whether or not the government postal employes could strike. But fortunately, the situation which was a grave, national menace at one time, has changed, at least tern prarilv for flhe better. IS THJ3 HATTER OF THE KETTLE, J ne wosexver 'having sung it as "Johnny, Put the Kettle On." The Montgomery Advertiser angrily as serts that by rights It is "Molly, Put the Kett,le On." But before we can administer chastisement The Wash ington Herald puts In and commits a worse offence by declaring for "Pol ly. Put the Kettle On." Comes at the same time The Savannah News and conducts Itself In a manner simply outrageous. "As a disinterested out sider. eays tnts disputant, "we may be able to explain how the difference comes about. It Is merely a matter of environment, t'p In the hill coun try about Charlotte, when the kettl is put on, the person who does It is required by force of circumstances to keep a shotgun In one hand and his eyes peeled for the 'revenooers,' w herefore it is meet and proper for Johnny to put it on. In Montgom ery, however, the kettle is put on for the purpose of brewing tea, where fore it is 'Molly's' duty to look after It." When The Savannah News strikes Charlotte next- Wednesday or Thurs day and the whole -bunch must sure ly come we shall cause tea to be made the limit of its refreshment. Furth er than this we decline all controversy where the other parties thereto show themselves so Incredibly mean. Savannah dispatches Indicate that under the Sherman anti-trust law one s t of trust officials, the naval stores men. will get its due at last True, nobody is In Jail Jet, but an effort to evade sentences so clearly deserved will be attended with no little difg-culty CSARXESTOX'S .HARBOR. The Charleston Evening JPoat aaya that tha Charleston chamber f eom jneree has put Itself formally on rec ord as favoring a movement to in duce the government to make the channel Into Charleston's harbor a mean low water depth of thirty feet The Evening Poet a short while in suggested action to secure thla im provement in the city's harbor. That suggestion has brought to a focua the project which has been in the minds of the citizens for a long time, and the resolution of the chamber of commerce la the first formal step in the direction of accomplishing "ths much-desired end." . This U a great surprise to a. We did not know that anything, in the opinion of the people of Charleston, was needed In the way of improv ing their harbor. That they should admit and that one of the pipers of the city should publish to the world the fact of improvement in the har bor being much desired which means needed is astonishing. It Is something new for the Charlestonians to admit that their haroor Is not of sufficient depth for all the needs of commerce. Jf there Is one thing they have been boasting of rnore than all othera in the last few years it has been their harbor its safety as on anchorage, its capaciousness and its depth of water. But it seems they have been fooling the public all this time. While they were doing every thing to create the Impression that their city's harbor waa all that could be desired, they were secretly con templating a raid on the Federal Treasury for funds wherewith to bring about the "much-desired thirty feet We can understand now why those Charleston people have been so Jubl lant every time a vessel of heavy draft passed Into and out of their harbor In safety. It was the reac tlon from suspense and secret fear lest the real conditions mlht be re vealed through ths vessel grounding in the harbor. Doubtless the North Carolina was conjured across the bar or brought in by other uncanny methods. Before the eastern district Judge ship appointment had been made It was stated in some quarters that the Southern Railway and J. P. Morgan would control the President's actions In naming the Judge, and also that whoever he appointed would keep on hand a supply of ready-made in Junctions for the benefit of railroads. How about It now? Does any one wish to stand by those predictions? Doesn't somebody owe Mr. Taft an apology? During his terms of office as Gov ernor General of the Phlllpplnes and Secretary of War Mr. Taft was able to do so much in the way of pacify ing the Filipinos and bringing about better conditions In our far eastern possessions it would seem that as President he might settle the matter of which the Porto Rlcans complain in a manner satisfactory to both sides. The column of sprlg'htly squibs to which The Durham Herald treats Its readers every morning has made It self conspicuous by Its absence for the last two or three mornings. We had supposed Brother Joe King was tak ing his annual fishing frolic "down east;" but, Instead, aa it turns out. he Is tied up on the Jury In a mur der case. We hope It will be a short trial. The Greenville, S. C, News, after giving Its readers a paper six days In the week for 35 years, announces that It will shortly change, to a daily paper, which means an Issue every day in the year. Patrons of The News evidently know a good thing when they see It and want as much of It as they can get. It Is very gratifying to learn that Charlotte may get for next year the Southern Baptist Convention. now meeting in Louisville. Charlotte's arguments are strong and will, we hope, prevail. "No. It does not take a real vacancy to bring out the candidates. The pros pect of there being one is enough to start them going." Greenville Reflector. The truth of this statement was suf ficiently demonstrated during Judge Purnell's last Illness. If Mr. Bryan carries out his plans for another world tour he will be at least a little more careful than on the former occasion about what he says on returning nome. It Is human nature that the man with the biggest income should kick the hardest against paying a tax On It. ASlffiVILLtANS COMING. The Mountain City to B Well Repre sented ou tbe 20th. Ashevllle Cttisen. A large number of Ashevillians will go to Charlotte May zu tor tne Dig Mecklenburg celebration which begins on that day. The star attraction is the coming of President Tafu whose pres ence in Charlotte will be the first pres idential visit to a similar celebration. A feature of Interest to Ashevllle people is the fact that Mr. F. Stlke leather. of this city, will be chief marshal of the big parade. Mr. EJgar B. Moore, proprietor of the magnifi cent Selwyn Hotel at Charlotte, and kindly remembered here, Is chairman of the committee on arrangements. As a matter of fact, Mr. Moore was one of the chief promoters of the whole affair, and the success of the celebra tion which is now assured. vt be highly creditable to Mr. Moore anj bta able committee.

Allen Holt Disclaim fViiy Con- aeiuoo wnatever With tbe peranct City National Bank, of Greensboro, Having gold Out His Stock la 107 Letters From President Thorn ton and Cashier Battle Relative to the Transfer of His Share. To the Editor of The Observer: The article from Greensboro pub lished in your paper on the 11th of May with reference to the action brought by the receiver of the City National Bank against the former di rectors of the hank does me an Injus tice, and ordinarily I would await the trial of the case, and the introduc tion of the testimony for my vindica tion, notwithstanding the publication referred to, but the report In the newspaper is calculated to injure my reputation, and In order to avoid this, if I can, I wish to state a few facts, which In Justice to me should be made public without delay. I sold my stock In this hank and ceased to be a director in October, 1S07. Prior to this time I criticized the things In connection with the bank which I thought wrong, and most, if not all of which are now complained of by the receiver, and spread these criticisms upon the minutes of the directors, and this goes to make up a record for me, as a director, which confirms me now In my statement that I gave my 'best thought and at tention to the bank's affairs, and faithfully discharged my duties. It is not true that I ever voted to keep In office any man who was known, or could have been known to have been short In his accounts. The charges that are made against all of the directors generally, will be answered "by me more In detail at the proper time, but the portion of the article which is applicable to me particularly deserves special atten tion now. The article states: "It is alleged that the law was vio lated when J. Allen Holt resigned aa a director and sold his stock In Octo ber, 1907. and that the stock was paid out of the assets of the bank to the amount of $3,000." 1 Fortunately for me, this transac tion was carried on by correspon dence. In September, 1907, I had been making an effort to sell some of my stock in the bank, and had been ad vised in a conversation with the presi dent of the bank that there was some prospect of selling It through a brok er. In the early part of October I wrote to Col. W. S. Thompson, presi dent of the City National Bank, who had given me this advice, Inquiring the name of the 'broker. I received from him this reply: "October 9. 1907. "Prof. J. Allen Holt, "Oak Ridge, N. C. "Dear sir: The broker whom I re- ferred to you was C. P. Bowles, of Wilmington. I hava been offering your stock, however, at 1.20. and day or so ago had an offer of IS, 000 for your twenty-flve shares, and so if you will send the stock to the City National Bank, I will deliver the same, collect the money, and make such disposition of it as you may di rect. "Tours truly. "W. S. THOMPSON'." Upon receipt of this letter I en dorsed and sent by mall the. stock with directions that he deliver It to the purchaser, collect the money, pay a note for 12,000 which I owed the City National Bank, end send me a cashier's check for the remainder of the proceeds of the sale of my stock On October 14, 1907. I received a letter as follows: "Greensboro, N. C, Oct 14, 1 9 7. "Prof. J. Allen Holt. "Oak Ridge, N. J. "Dear sir: In accordance with your letter to Mr. Thompson I beg to en close you cancelled note for $2,000 and 500 shares of Oak Ridge stock which we held aa .collateral. We charged your account J4 past due In terest. I also enclose check for $1. 000, being balance for sale of your stock We are sorry to lose you aa one of our directors and stockholders and hope that we will continue to share In your good will and business. Yours very truly, "LEE H. BATTLE." This ended m v connection with the City National Bank until after its failure In March. H08, when the re ceiver sought to hold me liable for an assessment on account of the stock I had sold In October, 1907. Since i ceased to be connected with the bank as a stockholder and ofDcar I have not had access to Its books, and cannot say Of my own knowledge what an examination of them would disclose. I venture to predict, how ever, that the books no not tend to show that the $3,000 which was paid to me for my stock was because of . the sate of this stock by me to the ' bank. The letters above referred to show the only knowledge that I had with reference to this transaction. and If anything wrong was done in connection with It I was not a party to It, and had no reason to suspect It, and did not suspect rt. Subsequent to the sale of my stock a dividend was paid oy tne ity Na tional Bank, to-wit, on the first day of January. 10$, and none of this money came to me or was offered to me. I have been sued by the receiver of the City National Bank for the as sessment on this stock, and have tiled an answer substantially setting out these facta, and am resisting payment upon the ground that I am neither In fact, law or morals liable. The present suit hrought by the receiver to hold the directors liable for losses sustained by the bank by reason of acts of commission or omis sion by the directors makes it neces sary fdf me to defend that suit also if It Is pressed against me, and this I feel able to- do, but must in the meantime protect myself against any misleading charges and erroneous In sinuations.

Dr. Archibald Henderson Write Ka tertalningly of Mis Personal Aaao. elation With tbe Great Humorist. In another part of to-days issue will be found one of the most dellgntful articles The Observer has been privi leged to print in some time. It Is en titled "The Real Mark Twain." and Is from the pen of Dr. Archibald Hen derson, of the State University. In It Dr. Henderson gives a near view of the great humorist from personal associa tion and treata his subject most enter tainingly. Dr. Archibald Henderson is regard ed by many competent authorities as the South's leading critic of literature. His articles appear In leading maga zines in America, Europe and the Scandinavian countries. Certain of his essays have recently been reviewed at length In such foreign publications aa "Buhne und Welt," Berlin; "Comoe dle." Paris; "Review of Reviews," Lon don; "M. A. P." (Mainly About Peo ple), London. He has recently pub lished essays In France, Belgium, and Germany; and his most recent publi cations in this country are: "The Ca reer of Bernard Shaw," The Arena, January, 1909; "The Philosophy of Bernard Shaw," The Atlantic Month ly, February, 1909; "The Evolution of Dramatic Technique," North American Review, March, 1J09; "Mark Twain," Harper's Magazine, May, HOt. Dr. Henderson's essays have called forth expressions pt high commenda tion from such distinguished authori ties as Prof. William James, of Har vard; Mr. Gilbert K. Chesterton, Herr Von Wollman. Baron Rhtnehard von Wlllebrand, Monster Augusta Ha mon. Prof. Wm. Lyon Phelps, of Yale University, etc. In speaking of Dr. Henderson's appreciation of him, Maurice Maetulinch the great Bel gian genius, wrote: "Your apprecia tion is one of the most subtle, most penetrating, 'an J best Informed In our whole modern movement, that it has been my pleasure to see," a most re markable tribute. Of the "Important Books" to be pub lished by Houghton, Mifflin Company this year, the leading announcement reads: "George Bernard Shaw: The Man and His Work," by Archibald Hender son. An unusual and arresting book, written with the active assistance of Mr Shaw and with a characteristic preface by him. Dr. Henderson has recently paid Mark Twain a visit at his beautiful new home, "StormftelJ." at Redding, Conn. He has recently received a re quest from the leading German re view. The Deutsche Revue, to prepare an appreciation of Mark Twain for, the German reading public. Dr.-Hender-son vtaa paid a signal and almost un precedented tribute in the publication of his authorised appreciation of Mark Twain In Harper's Magazine; for It Is a 1 virtually unheard of for the magazine to publish an essay about any living man. WATTERSOX OX PROHIBITION: tt Means Wanton Impositions and Untoward Conditions. Courier Journal. Our old friend of West Tennessee Is mistaken in his theory that prohi bition prohibits. " He is mistaken In his theory that wicked husbands and bad fathers may be turned Into good husbands and fond fathers by act of Assembly. The attempt to do it en tails wanton impositions to begtn with and forecasts untoward condi tions to end with; sacrificing the free dom of the people without elevating the morals of the people. The better way, ;ind the sufficient way, is to close the evil places where the community is united enough to close them and to keep them closed, cacTi the pudge of its own excise arrangements, leav ing every individual free to develop upon bis own lines of conscience and conduct Already the government Is doino- too much In restraint of men.
