CASTOR I A Tor Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature o: ILL" THOMPSON GOES TO 1LS0I Special to The News. Wilson, N. C, April S. Mr. J. M. Thompson, a student in the Univer sity department of medicine, and fa mous as "Bull"' Thompson, of Caro lina, has signed with Wilson of the Eastern Carolina League, and will be on the pitching staff or that club. "Bull" is as good a slab artist as performs on the North Carolina diamond, and is a fielder of the first magnitude. He was captain of the University football and baseball teams, and his reputation as an ath lete extends throughout the south. The Wilson management is fortunate in securing "Hull" Thompson, lie is not only a pitcher, hut is one of the greatest batters in tho state, and is a prize.

"Shug" Shugart, formerly short stop for the White Sox. is to manage the Rockford team in the Wisconsin Illinois League this season. A Galveston man whose home ad joins the baseball park keeps all the balls hit into his lot and sells thorn to anyone coming over with four bits. Jack McCarthy, the ex-P.rooklvnito now managing the Springfield, 111., team, says he will get into the game himself this summer if his young sters can't go fast enough. a The Atlanta club, champions of thr Southern League, has been putting an awful crimp in the reputations of sev eral major league teams of late. The New York Americans and the Chicago and Cincinnati teams of the National League have all fallen before the Firemen. M Hugh Jennings, of Detroit, while watching the Pittsburg team at Hot Springs, remarked, "Give that team Wagner and they will win the pen nant." He might have added "and the world's championship," provided the American League champions play no better than did Jennings' Detroit club against the Cubs last fall. EIT'S ISEBALL IE 0 James McKevitt. manager of the Greensboro Baseball Club, played in the outfield on the Danville, Va., nine last ear. says the Industrial News, and made the remarkable record of 1,000. To those who do not under stand baseball lingo, this means that he did not make an error in this position. In the outfield he played in 59 games. Playing at first base, in 42 games he made an average of .089, while his batting average was .231. McKevitt began baseball playing with the Chicago city league and in 18!)5 went with the Lansing, Mich., club, as captain, following this by an engagement with the Saginaw, Mich., club in the same position. In 18! he was with the Fort Wayne, Ind., interstate league, also in the position of captain. In 180!) and 1000 he was with the Hamilton, Canada, and the Buffalo, N. Y., clubs, respectively. During the 1007 season he was on the Memphis Southern League, and then went in succeeding years to Spokane, Wash., Butte, Mont., and T ; T .1 1 f-i . - -. f r- noisu, iuaii(i. coming east in i:u:, ho wont with thn Snvino-firlrl C riinn ! ... ....... ...... t.l. lll.llll,, , , and from there to Lynch btirg in 100'J, becoming captain of this team and making a nexcellent record. Last year he was manager of the Dan ville, Va., team. In all of his career as player, cap tain or manager, McKevitt has made good. He expresses the most abso lute confidence in the ability of the team he has selected for this year's games in the becoming captain of this team and best kind of ball pos sible.

A woman is never so full of gossip that she can't acquire more. There is euito a difference between breezy conversation and hot air. An adequate idea of the intense in terest which has been aroused by young Mr. Cooper during the past year with his theories and medicines is given in the following article which appeared in the Cincinnati Post while Cooper was introducing his ideas to the people of that city. The article says: "The beginning of Mr. Cooper's second week in Cincinnati gives every indication that he is to enjoy the same astonishing success here as in other cities. "From the first day of his visit the crowds that call to seehini have stead ily increased, until now it has reached a point where- several thousand talk with him each day. The entire city seems to have become interested in his theory that the human stomach is degenerate, and he already has an army of followers in Cincinnati who seem pod'ivc that his claims arc, cor rect. "A number of Cincinnatians were interviewed at Cooper's headquarters on Friday, and several interesting statements, showing their intense faith in Cooper's preparations, were secured. The following are selected from these statements and are characteristic of them all: Mrs. M. E. Emerson of 630 West Court street, said: T have suf fered with stomach trouble and con stipation for a year or so. When I ate I would have bloated spells, sour aomach, fermentation, bad taste in Cooper Arouses Interest of Queen City Residents DARTMOUTH AG All! DEFEATS A & 1 Spor ial to The News. Raleigh, N.

Si The Heresy of Mod ernism in Poetry (Brain Hooker in the April Forum.) And the comfortable respiration of the muse has been disturbed by con temporary consciousness in two re spects: First by limiting her free heri tage of the air. In our egoism, we would have all the subject matter of poetry contemporary. Leave off sing ing of old wars and loves, retelling ancient myths. What's Hecuba to us? "Lord, send a man like Robbie Burns to sing the song of steam!" And we would teach our poets that poetry is being lived all about us; that they should be mouthpieces of their age; that no man can step off his own shad ow; and that we cannot sing those old songs truly. Now it is true that our time contains as-much poetry of life as any; but precisely because ft is our own; this poetry of life unready for translation into poetry of art. For poe try deals of necessity only with what is either old or ageless. You may poe tize a kiss or an arrow; you cannot poetize a locomotive, not because the thundrous. fi re-breathing steel monster is unbeaufiful or uupoetic, but simply because it is too ner. It is yet raw, surprising, commonplace but not eonno tative, uuilodged of glamour. The mounted messenger is poetic substance; our mail system, like gun powder and some other older inven tions, is just becoming so; wireless telegraphy is magical, but impossible. When modern material of life shall have aged, then and not be fore will the song of steam be sung. All poets in all ages have felt this. Homer, who was so contemporary of Achiles; in his day the gods no longer mingled with men. And his truth is clinched by the failure in all times of even genius to poetize the physically contemporaneous. , Milton's artillery is absurd; Tennyson's guns are poet ic, his railroads ridiculous. Of course no poet can possibly help being the mouthpiece of his own age, not by choice of subject or imagery, but its treatment. We may tell of the begin ning of worlds, yet we can not see it but out of modern eyes, nor sing of it but with timely tongues; and all at tempt to imitate the manner of anoth er age is as futile as to exploit the mat ter of our own. i The things which are net seen are! certainly poetry. The temporarily visi-j ble and the timbre of modernity must and should be left to adjust them selves. "What," asked St. Peter "did you do when you were on earth?" "t was a professional bear in Wall street," re plied the shade. "Oh, one of those fel lows who always wanted tilings lower, eh? Well, you're going to get. them that way rieht along after this. Down you go:" Chicago Record-Herald. my mouth. T;i the, morning I was as tired as when I went to bed. I had a dull pain in the lower part of my back. I have taken almost one bottle of the New discovery and am so wonderfully improved that I have come down here to thank Mr. Cooper in person and ob tain more of the medicine." "Another individual interviewed was Mr. J. II. Brooks, living at 527 Walnut street, who had the following to say: 'Fcr the past eighteen months I have been a constant sufferer from catarrh of the head and stomach. My nasal passage would become inflamed and sore. I would have severe headaches, which affected my eyes, and great crusts cf matter would drop into the throat, causing an irritation of the bronchial passages, until the stomach finally became poisoned. When I would lay down at night a phlegm would gather in my throat until it almost choked n.e, and would cause an an noying cough. Half a bottle of Coop per's New Discovery cave me relief and when the first bottle was finished, I felt like a new man. I am now completely cured and consider Coop er's New Discovery the greatest ca tarrh, blood and stomach remedy in f me worm. The Cooper preparations have been wonderfully successful throughout the United States. We consider them re markable medicines . and would be pleased to explain the nature of them. I R. H.
