JUNE. Beloved of sinners saints and sages, Sung to bv minstrels of all ages. Deep-eyed, demure, serene and fair, With ferns entangled in your hair, A maiden goddess, summer's bride, What secret sweets your heart doth hide! When through your realm my spirt fares Among your flowers to snatch your airs All for its own, their music brings My heart to dwell on dearer things, That lie musk-laden, half-forgot In some far memory's ancient grot. Your lips are red —just like Her Ov\E. Your hair about your features blow By gentle breezes that would gloat O'er all the whiteness of your throat, Seems like Her hair, and in your eyes There lurks the light of memories. 0 maiden fair, you bring to me A breath of summer's infancy Grown into glorious maidenhood. And all your beauty seems so good To look upon that I gorget That you know something of regret; That you arfe old, tho' ever young; That annual death will still your tongue And that you know of peace and strife Of love and death, more than my life Could know tho' it should welcome thee Through many ages yet to be; For I believe that love and you Were here when all the world was new That the first bridegroom and first bride Were led each to the other's side By you and that your smile will play Upon the last bride's marriage day. Then, welcome, June, fair month of dreams, Of pastures broad and shady steams; Your every mood, I know them all, And where I hear your swamp-bird's call, 1 long to take my book and line And woo you well and call you mine! —C. D. Smith. Goes to the Pen. In the Federal court last Men day, 15th, just prior to adjourn ment for the day, J. E. Shoffner, who had been convicted of the larcenv of seven money orders from the Southern Express Co., was called up for sentence. Mr. F. M. Shannonhouse, his attorny, made a strong plea for his client, asking the court for leniency in view of certain facts which he cited. Mr. Shannonhouse stated that Shoffner's mother is a widow and very sorely in need of the support of her boy and that on the very day Shoffner was arrest ed he received a telegram an nouncing the death of his brother. After hearing the strong ap peal of Mr. Shannonhouse, Judge Boyd stated that the crime for which the defendant stood con victed was most serious; lhat he has not only used the mails to de fraud in one specific instance, but in addition thereio he had collected on one of the Southern Express Company's orders $35 at Burlington and on two other or ders had endeavored to secure two diamond rings, his failure being only due to the diligence of the postal authorities and repres entatives of the Southern Ex press Company. The court fur ther declared that in his estima tion the imposition of a fine would be no punishment upon the defendant, because of the fact that his relatives would have it to pay, and for that reason he sentenced him to serve a year and a day in the Federal prison at Atlanta. Shoffner was turned over to United States Marshal Harkrad er and was taken to Atlanta last night. The seven monev orders were stolen by Shoffner on the night of May 6th from the Southern Express Company at Wellford, S. C., and on the 21st of May, Postoffie Inspectors Harshberger and Higgens had the prisoner in custody and bound over to court, while his accomplice, Chris Pick enpack, was arrested at Wellford and bound over to the October term of court at Greenville, S. C. Of seven money orders stolen the postal inspectors secured six and x these were used in the trial here this week.—Charlotte Observer. QUESTION OF STATE RIGHTS. r Does Not Approve of Commonwealths Being Made Subeervient to Inferior Federal Court* —Would Uphold Con* stitution. Governor John A. Johnson of Minne sota delivered at the dedication of the Minnesota monument on Shlloh battle field an address that will rank as one of the ablest public deliverances of re cent times. Spoken on a battlefield that may be taken as the symbol of the great war for the Dnion, the governor took occasion to tell of the peril that threatens our federal form of govern ment This peril was emphasized by the recent decision of the supreme court in the railway cases going up from Minnesota and North Carolina, which practically makes the state gov ernments subservient to the Inferior 1 federal courts. The significance of these decisions is widely understood, and they have given rise to a general discussion of the question of the rights of the states, and Governor Johnson's speech will rank as an important con tribution to that discussion. The dedl- I catory address in part follows: Representing the people of the com monwealth of Minnesota, we are as sembled on one of the historic battle fields of the civil war to pay our trib ute of respect and affection to the memory of the sons of Minnesota .who here yielded up their lives that this inight continue to be a united nation Their sacrifice was not for personal gain, but was in response to duty and a contribution to the civilization of the age and for the purpose of perpetuat ing the institution of human liberty. I appreciate that nothing which I can say will add to or detract from the glory of their achievement, which in itself is an enduring monument to the patriotism and heroism of the American soldier. Their sacrifice, how ever, was not different from that which has been made throughout all of the ages by those lovers of liberty who be lieve in a government which inighf give to all the people the right to life, liberty and property. The love of liberty was not born In this country of ours. It was cradled along the Danube and about the shores of the Baltic, even when Rome had reached the limit of her imperial grandeur. Increasing In intensity with the passing of the centuries, it found its highest expres sion in the older countries in the great English charter of civil rights, which forever guaranteed to the people of that land immunity from the despotism of those who claimed to rule by virtue of Divine right "Mr. Bryan's daughter is stumping some of the Western States in the interest of her daddy and will go as a delegate to the convention. Don't that turn your stomach?" asks the Clarkton Express. It would if it were true but it is a product of a Munchau sen. Bryan's daughter has never made a public speech for* her daddy or anybody else and will not go as a delegate to Denver. Let's keep facts straight.—News and Observer. NOTICE.

J. F. Norris Sec. No Tears Nor Hills. In the days when Rowley Hill was bishop of the Isle of Man one of his clergymen bearing the name of Tears came to say adieu to his bishop on getting preferment The parson said: •'Goodby, my lord. I hope we may meet again, but if not here in some better place." The bishop replied, "I fear fhe latter is unlikely, as there are no Tears in heaven." "No doubt" wittily answered the par son, "you are right that our chance of meeting Is small, as one reads of the plains of paradise; but never of any Hills there."—London Queen. Australian Bushmen. Although the bushmen of Australia are the very lowest in the scale of ig norance, they possess a rare instinct that equals that of many animals and is in its way as wonderful as man's reason. It Li almost impossible for them to be lost Even if they be led away from their home blindfolded for miles, when released they will unerr ingly turn in the right direction and make their way to their nest homes, and, though these are all very similar, they never make a mistake. Fool and B«ge. The fool and his money are parted, not long did they stay in cahoots, but the fool is the cheeriest hearted and gladdest of human galoots. His neigh bor is better and wiser, six figures might tell what he's worth, but oh, how folks wish the old miser would fall off the edge of the earth!—Emporia Ga zette. Nothing preaches better than the ant, William Howard Taft. The expected has happened. William Howard Taft is the Rep ublican nominee for President of the United States. A man of clean personal life, of demonstrated capacity for do ing things, and a full-blooded American, his worthiness to carry the standard of his party in the coming quadrennial campaign is not to be disputed in any quarter. He is of Presidential size. The great-office is not belittled in his nomination. In the past decade, so rich in achievement and so notable for progress, he has had a most im portant part. Weighty public duties falling to his official lot have been performed with signal intelligence, patriotism, and abil ity. And so, regardless of issues involved in his candidacy, he just ly commands the respect of his countrymen. One may thus appraise Taft, the statesman, and bestow upon him an unreserved tribute of es teem and confidence without sub scribing to the methods employ ed to nominate him, or giving OD proval to the course his candidacy has taken. - The Washington Herald be lieved, and still believes, that once he entered the race for the nomination, he should immediate ly have retired from the Cabinet. It condemns, and will always condemn, the use of official pow er for partisan ends. It opposed, and will forever op pose, as repugnant in prirciple, dangerous in precedent, and wholly un-American, the effort of any President to name his suc cessor. It is candidly and honestly of the opinion that but for the phas es of Mr. Taft's candidacy here pointed out he would be infinitely stronger before the people to-day and his availability tenfold great er. His success was promoted at heavy personal cost. He should never have become a man's man. He was too big for that. He have won the nomination on his own account, or not at all. He could have won it so. Whether a Democrat wants Mr. Bryan or not he had just as well be satisfied. Mr. Bryan will ge the nomination for President at Denver and will be the opponent of Taft nominated at Chicago by the Republicans. Well, there is nothing against Mr. Brvan any way. He is a good man, the brainiest man in his party. Any man who can hold the attention of the people of a nation year after year is no small man. If the Democratic Darty could unite and go to work with a whoop Mr. Bryan would be the next president of the United States. The best opportunity the party has had for many years is now at hand. Of his inherent strength, this newspaper never for a moment entertained the slightest doubt. There was logic in his candidacy when it was originally broached'. There is logic in it now, But the fact is obvious, nevertheless, that some of his inherent natur al strengh has been dissipated as the result of of his preliminary campaign. His availability is less pronounced than it was six months ago. He does not loom as large in the hour of triumph as he did when the skirmish be gan. He must gain ground steadily from this day on to meet his party's hopes and ex pectations. Perhaps he may. Party lines are broken every where. This is a day of inde pendent thinking and independ ent action —a progressive era, when an edlightened populace has scant patience with political tactics so potent in the past. And its tendencies are yet radi cal in marked degree. Neither party can tell with certainty what is going to hap pen in November. It is to be a hard-fought campaign, this great national struggle now at hand, and it will be fraught with doubt to the very end. To the extent that in choosing for its leader ship a broad-minded man of character, capacity *- and achieve ments the Republican party safeguards the future, it is en titled to all praise and com mendation.—Washington Her ald. * Assaulted By a Tramp. Newton, June 20.—What may have been a fatal attack from the hands of tramps was made last afternoon upon Mr. D. W. Misenheimer, a citizen of North Newton. Mr. Misenheimer had been to Hickory in his buggy and was returning home, when about two miles this side of Hickory he was accosted by a man who asked to be allowed to ride. This re quest Mr. Misenheimer assented to and the man got in the buggy. It being an intensely hot after noon, Mr. Misenheimer had ta ken off his coat, in which he had his pistol, and was sitting ©n it in order to keep it from falling out of the buggy. Suddenly, with out a moment's warning the stranger grabbed him around the neck while another man struck him on the head, presum ably with with a sand-bag. Mr. Misenheimer was knocked un conscious and did not recover until near the home of Mr. Jerome Bolick, between Conover and Newton, when he found himself huddled up in the bottom of his buggy, being carried home by his faithful horse. Feeling very weffk and knocked up he stopped at Mr. Bolick's and phoned to his home, when his brother-in-law, Mr. Tom Carper, went after him. On examina tion it was found that the tramps had evidently fired on jpm, as he was burned across the breast by powder, the ball passing through the muscles of his arm. What monev he had on his per son had been taken. Mr. Misen heimer. in spite of his narrow escape, was able to be on the streets today and tell how he was attacked.—Charlotte Obser ver. Rev. J. B. Boone Dead. I The many friends of Rev. J. B. Boone will be framed to learn of his death which occurred at his home in Hendersonville Wed nesday of last week. Mr. Boone has been for years a leading Baptist minister in this State. He was at one time Pres. of Judson College at Hendersonvill and was later connected with the Baptist Orphnage at Thomasville Mr. Boone at the time of his death, was 71 years of age. The funeral was held from the Baptist church Thursday Interement at Asheville Friday. ft)LEYSRONEY^TAR •to®« th« and betla luntf* Being of a buoyant nature won't help you any if you fall overboard.
