And when you have kissed her, sweet south wind, Tell her I never forget For the pale white mists of parting tears Are floating round me yet. Tell her sit all day and dream Of the joys that time may bring, Till the old love poems afloat in my heart Meet together and sing. And the tune, 0 wind, that they sing and ring (With a burst of passionate rhyme) Is "The Lovers' Prayer" a sweet sad air A song of the olden time. Touch her lips lightly, sweet south wind, As I should were I there; And dry up the tear in her violet eyes, And play with her purple hair. 0 soft south wind ! 0 sweet south wind ! 0 wind from off the sea !

A New Oreleans paper tells of a printer who, when his fellow-work men went out to drink beer during working hours, put in the bank the exact amount which he would have spent if he had gone out to drink with them. He kept to his resolu tion for five years. He then examin ed his bank account and found that he had on deposit $521.85. In the five years he had not lost a day from ill health. Four or five of his fellow-workmen had. in the meantime.become drunk ards, were worthless as workmen, and were discharged. The water drinker bought a printing office on enlarging his business, and In twenty years from the time he began to put by his money was worth one hundred thousand dollars. Useful Place.

"Tjjo Burlington, Kan., Nov. ll.-The Rey French R 01iver who is hold. -ng a revjvaj meeting here, has is- sued an open letter to William J. Bryan urging the Nebraskan to be come an evangelist and predicting that Mr. Bryan would become the equal of the apostle Paul. "Twelve years ago," writes Mr. Oliver, "I wrote you a letter in which I stated my conviction that you should preach the gospel and added the statement that if you would consecrate your wonderful talents to God as an evangelist the Bryan of the twentieth century cen tury would equal the Paul of the first century, as a champion of the cause of Christ. "Personally your three defeats have been three sources of sorrow to me, as I have hoped to see you elect ed to the Presidency. Who knows? Perhaps God has withheld the Presi dency from you in order that you may become more to your country than President, I am firmly convinc ed that one ambassador of Christ of your calibre i3 worth more to this nation than ten thousand Presidents. This impression regarding your fitness for this great work named has been strong in my heart for twelve years, and I pray God that it may become a fire in your great soul." Tbe Country's Loss, Not Bryan's. (Staunton Leader.) Mr. Bryan may be in advance of the times with his advocacy of gov ernmental reform, but despite his three overwhelming defeats we still think him the greatest and purest man in public life today, and we be lieve that the failure to elect him President is the country's loss more than Mr. Bryan's. We would not favor his running again, for his last effort has fully convinced us that the slight hope we entertained was a forlorn one. Yet the principles for which Mr. Bryan stands are Demo cratic to the core, having ever in view the greatest good to the great es number. Grasping.

This is what the court in New York gave Charles V. Morse, for misapplication of the funds of the de- m r 1 T" f 1 T 1 a mi A kss'IitKous Verdict. fact that the one Alfred H. Curtis, the former president of the bank, who was jointly tried and convicted with Morse, was given his liberty on a sus. pended sentence. Morse's attorneys, of course, are in iking a great figlr to have his sentence suspended also. He is possibly no more guilty thar Curtis, but they both should be given the full penalty of the law, for the day should cease to be when it is a declara'ion of honor to steal hundrev of thousands of dollars but an everlasting disgrace and a sure entrance ti the penitentiary for the poor and ignorant who for privation or want r from other influences are driven to or yield to the temptation to steal, They are all tarel with the same stick the onlv difference is their intelli gence and opportunity. Much has been said on the results of the election j i--t held. Many have predicted that the country is ruined by the defeat of Bryan; equally i"s SGund Atlvica. journals are already talking politics for 1912. On the front page of the Manufacturer's Record of November 5th, the following wholesome advice, which every citizen should ponder well, is given: "The American people have had several years of politics. Everything has been made subservient to the whims of the politicians who have felt like saying of business what Vanderbilt is reported to have said of the people. The result has been that business did very nearly go down to the bottomless pit. Often men of sense have permitted the political agitators to run the country without any united effort to save themselves from ruin. Now, let's get to business. Let's realize that business mean3 work for everybody, and that means em ployment and prosperity." A whole lot of good sense Is crowded into this last sentence, "Let's realize that business means work for everybody, and that means employment and prosperity." Who ever is President, whether he be Democrat of Republican, the success of the people of the South and of the entire Union depends upon their push, energy and own personal effort. The mere election of a President will not change your condition. If you would succeed you must be thrifty and active. North Carolinians are not much for we are now informed by one Dr. Health Don't Be Alarmed. United the country a3 a "scientific expert" with the Government Country Life Commission, that we North Carolinians are a weakly paled-face set of folks and in a bad condition generally. That we haven't as many red corpuscles in our blood as a frenchman, etc, or thing3 to this effect. While it is true the average North Carolinian is not much on "figuring up" the number of red blood corpuscles in his system, It is not true that North Carolinians are the puny set of folks that his "Science" tells him they are. The Doctor's passing observation has led him astray and this misrepresen tation of the physical condition of the people and the helpfulness of our State does us an injury rather than improve our condition, which is sup posed to be the object. The following figures show that North Carolina stands way above the following States as to healthf ulness and ratio of deaths. With a population of 1,263,000 whites, the census states the deaths at 13,217, being a little more than one death to a hundred persons; in rural New York there was one death to every 66 persons; in Maine and In Mas sachusetts one death to every 57 persons; in Pennsylvania, one death to every 70 persons; Ohio, one death to every 80 persons, in Indiana one death to every 70. There is no cause for alarm. A fair comparison will demon strate the fact that North Carolinians will measure up in bodily strength, physical endurance and mental vigor with citizens of other sections. In the tragic death of Hon. Edward W. Carmack, Statesman, Editor and Christian gentleman, the South and the entire Nation has sustained a distinct Edward V. Carmack. est type and influence of such a life will yield a harvest for good after his body has decayed and returned to the dust. He was murderously attacked and shot to death on the streets of Nashville, Tenn., by a young lawyer, Robin J. Cooper, in company with his father, Col. Duncan B. Cooper, political animosity the being cause of the deed. and thSjtlme has come when wanton ished to the fullest extent. The following timely editorial tribute ia taken from the News and Observer. "The ward W. Carmack, of Tennessee, removes the most brilliant and accom plished man in Southern journalism. He won his first spurs in editorial harness in Memphis where the paper epigrams and happy sallies and able discussion of public questions. He was then elected to the House of Representatives and in a few months took high stand there. His speech against tration was a masterpiece. Later he easily became the foremost debater satire and invective with more skill time of Ingalls. He was well posted resourceful, and in a single term won ed by his fellow Senators. Local differences in Tennessee and the popul arity of ex-Governor Taylor brought about the defeat of Mr. Carmack T'ViJa luor Vio nraa nrPV Ailed unon to did so. The campaign for the nomination was batter. Mr. Carmack ad vocated State-wide prohibition.

The Oaks in crimson dressed; The lovely Misses Maple In scarlet looked their best, And balanced all their partners, And gayly fluttered by; The sight was like a rainbow New fallen from the sky.

Professor Wind played louder; They flew along the ground, And then the party ended, In jolly "hands around."
