Mr. Gardner’s oratorical ability iiomd for h oi an audience every where the party stopped and, pre ■ tided as the next Governor of North 1 arolina, he wan given that addition al prestige and distinction which «ave his words pcrculiarly signifi cant weight.

Come Up where the sun’s shining, Where the weather is balmy and fair— Come up to the mountain.-, where rei heart’s are pining— Where you breathe God' pure, fresh air. . Where the skies arc blue— And the people are loving end true, Come where the flowers bloom in the wayside, fair: There are flowers that bloom in the valley. Ant! on the mountain top high. That shows a touch of his loving rare. I There are those that bloom by the river-side rare; Where tourists go by. Come where the gentle hr <eze softly, blows, And the scenery is lovely to behold. j Come where the lofty mountain peaks j kiss the sky And the setting sun sheds a halo of glory, Come on up to Cleveland Springs. By the roadside high. Where the water’s pure as crystals flow, From life-giving fountains cold. Come on up to Carolina— And for the rest of your lives have a glorious time. II.

SICK OF THE SFS Engine Man on 111 Fated Ship Tells of His Harrowing Experiences At Sea Queenstown, Ireland.—The cap tains and the first mates and the rad o officers have told their stories of how the Antinoe went down, and now listen to the story of Michael Matthews. It’s from the furnace room that Miachael Matthews’ story . comes— the furnace room that was hell and fury when the Antinoe ran into the four days and nights of lunging, plunging peril. “I’m sick of the sea,” Michael Matthews told me, and the simple sentence told more than all the long columns of cables about, the rescue of tlte Antinoc's men by the President Roosevelt. "A Newry, North of Ireland, mstn I am with. Newark, New Jersey, more like home to me, and I’ve had the wander foot for a long time. The sea calls, and inn for a ship.

And when we trot to the deck it war. to hang there for three days and three nights and more—wet, hungry, thirsty, shiverin’ like dogs, a-hopin’ the Roosevelt could save us, and then stoppin’ hopin’ and just thinkin' that right in sight of that grand ves sel we’d soon be sinkin’ like rats, with our mouths filled with bitter sea wa ter and nary a breath 1 ft even to cry out ‘So long!” The Miracle “And then when we wuz thinkin' we vuz dead men for sure and earnest, and a-lookin' to the priest Monsignor Whelan, who stayed up day and night oh the Roosevelt a-try in’ to give us some comfort - iust then the miracle happened and we wuz got off. “Black as coal from oil and grit and soot and dirt of the furnace room I was. “They fed us first. 1 asked for ham and eggs, and they kept a-bPtng in’ of ’em 'till I couldn’t eat o more.

One gave me some underwear, another some socks, another pants, another a coat and another a hat. They did not match, and I looked ull dressed up like a Portugese admiral.

Man, do you know .• what a real sleep in a real warm bunk is after you haven't slept none at all lor three black, wicked days and nights ? “Well, then, you don’t know nothin’ at all about sleep. “Here we are back in safe waters now, thank to the Yanks, and I’m sick of the sea, I’m thinkin’. ‘ I'm goin’ to take a good long rest as soon as the company gives me my hack pay. “Yep, I ain't tailin' no chances with the sea again for a whole month or more.” If you fool that you can't support what someone lias created, don't criticize—just keep still.
