The fishing sloop Cassle was rundown
by the Old Dominion Line Steamer, Al

on Its way from Abels Bay, Hyde Co, to

seen by the pilot of the Albemarle until
It was too late. The boat wa? cut

could. He was the only person drowned

wu an ordinary fishing sloop, 25 feet

The Recital -
Miss Georgia Ray MacMQlan sustained
and added to her reputation as an elocn

night. There wu a highly appreciative
audience present which testified their
pleasure, by constant applause.
A feature of the evening was the In

Th Journal hu from time to lime
published warnings that aaonymona or
uaa'goed communications would not be
policed. Wa hav frequently beea
forced to consign some really good man
uteri, to the oblivion of the wtste bas
ket merely becaoM Its aq;hur wu un
known tout. Bui the Journal reserve
the right to surpend the rule and wishes
to publish, at leut In pan, a merltorloat
piece of poetry. It came to this office
lut week with no mark of authorship;
and no clue to the place of Its birth ex
cept that the envelope that enclosed It
wu post marked Newport.
Had this poem been mere rot like some
driveling doggerel of Shakespeare or
some silly song of Longfellow the Jour
nal would have passed it up without a
tear; but we hale to have to turn down
such evidences of blooming genlas. It
may be that u the poet Gray hath said
Some mute, inglorious Milton" may t
in these parts. If this be so we want to
o what we can to help the unknown
witter up the ragged mountain of
fame.
This literary muter piece whloh we
live the pleasure of publishing for the
first time Is Intltled "The Cracker Boy.'
It is written on two sheets of legal cap
paper which aie tewed together proba
bly so that we may not lose the thread
of the plot. The whole paper measure
41 Inches in length and there are 20
stanzas. It Is quite Impossible in our
limited space to publish the whole of this
but we believe we can give the reader a
small idea of this rare poetical gem. A
few comments by the way may help to
digest this piece of art.
"The Cracker Boy" seems to be writ
ing an autobiography and he starts out
thus:
My friends In North Corollna are
many
My foes they are few
The flattering words they speak of me
Thrills my heart threw and threw.1'
Stuck on himself, Isn't he f The or
thography Is just as we take it from the
original copy.
They say I am a drunkard
And eat chickens on the sly
But remember boys I will make things
rite
With pure old Maryland rye."
We are sorry the real cause of this ef
fusion developed so early In the song
but critics can not have their way any
more than other people. As to the au
thor's claim claim to mortyrdom he Is
entitled to much sympathy.
V
My Southern brother was formllly ac-
- cused,
And seven years it had been
When he returned to his North Carolina
home
And made things strait with old
gin."
Here booze Is again a subject for en-
loglum. He also makes his relatives
suffer with him. In another verse he
drsgs his cousin into the trouble.
He leaves those he calls his "North
side friends" and pays his respects to
his "South side friends:"
"My South side friends tried to swamp
me,
But trying wu in vain,
For that very same crowd that aeem day
Got caught out in the rain,
Thats what the got for playing a dirty
trick; It served 'em right.
"After which some one was taken 111
Yes, almost seriously sick
That makes us think that in their plans
There must have been tricks."
"The doctor then wu summoned
To cure that dreadful pain
Caused by a deep seated cold
Contracted by being out In the rain."
These verses apparently caught cold
then too.
There are . many more verses of the
same tenor and thought but we think
this a sufficient Infliction on the reading
public and presume the purposes of the
poet are realized inumuchu his request
to publish hu been obeyed.
