In a receut issue of the Char-1 lotte Observer we note a poem which the editor regards as proof of the fai t that North Carolina has genuine poetic talent. He further gives a list of the counties which can boast of native poetic instinct, and we ol nerve that he failed to give our Caldwell muses credit for possessing this raiv power of song. We feel slighted, Mr. Caldwell. If you don't think we ought to le on the list of worthies we can send you a sample any time. BKYAX KAl'IDbY (JKOWLMJ IX FAVOK It is interesting to note how rap idly public sentiment can change A few years ago the people were overwhelmingly against Hryan; now the tide is changing and the Democrats are predicting his nom ination without opposition . We quote the following from the Gastonia Gazette: The present attitude, not only of party sentiment but of public sen timent, toward W. J. Bryan is a subject of wide editorial comment. Some there are Avho blame his friends the Bryan partisans in the Democratic party for this demonstration of enthusiasm in his favor 2 years in advance of the convention which will le called upon to nominate a candidate for the presidency. These partisans of the Nebraskan should not be censured. They have just cause for exuberance of emotion, and so long as they dis play their exuberance within the bounds of propriety they should be exempt from carping criticism. There has been a marked change of party and public sentiment in Mr. Bryan's favor. If the only people who feel politically hospitable to Mr. Bryan were those of his ardent supporters who have twice follow ed him to defeat with more chival ric devotion, the present demon - m Jmjjju , 1 i 1 .!. .)

Neither Mole Nor Bird. Daily Industrial News. . The w orld is every day becoming more complicated, and human in genuity fa being constantly called into play to meet conditions aris ing from the congestion of human ity in great cities. A few years ago, when the New York subway was first proposed, the scheme was ridiculed as both impossible and unnecessary. But now the New Yorker Ls consider ing a still more startling proposi tion. Some of the streets have leconie so congested with traffic that a remedy must le found and the remedy now proposed fa, to put it in homely language, two story streets, one on the surface, as ati present and the other story Uuieath the surface, constructed upon general lines of the rapid transit subway. Many of the New York sky scrapers have two and threestories leneath the ground, and if these subterranean rooms are made to face a subterranean thoroughfare, it may soon le that we will have a city of dwellers in the earth. I f New Y'ork wants such doings as living twenty stories in the air or two stories in the earth, New Y'ork is free to try the experiment, but when the surface of the earth in this community becomes so val uable as to necessitate the adop tion of such methods, we will take to the tall timler and try the simple life. We are neither a mole nor a bird. "Deadhead" Originated in Dela. ware. London Tribune. The term "deadhead"' is in var ious connections Aery much to the fore at the present time. How did it arise! Its origin is purely tran satlantic. Sixty years ago all the principal avenues of the city of Delaware led in one direction, to a tailgate close to the Elm wood Oometery road. This cemetery having been laid out long before the construction of the plank road beyond the tollgate, funeral processions were allowed to pass along it toll free. One day as Dr. Price, a well-known physi cian, stopped to pay his toll, he observed to the gatekeeper. "Considering the benevolent character of the profession to. which I have the honor to belong, you ought to let us pass toll free." "No, no, doctor,'' the man re- , ; ; 7 1-2 to 8 1-2, for 5c the yard. I bi lot Fancy Lawns, worth 7 12c the yard, for 5c All lijht Calicoes 12 12c, for 8 1-3.

Thfa story soon traveled far and wide until the term came to be applied to any one who claims the privilege of traveling on a railway systenTor passing into a "place of amusement free of cost. In the Name of Fraternity Industrial Kawa, 13th! Greensboro will, during the coming week, have within its gates Knights of Pythias from through out the state who come to attend the 26th annual meeting of the Grand Lodge. That their local bretheru will give them a most hearty welcome needs not to be said. But the wel come given the visiting Knights will come not alone from their brethren in the order. The whole city joins in extending to them the right hand of fellowship and in wishing them a pleasant and suc cessful convention. The Knights stand for brother hood among men for the principle that we walk life's way not as strangers or enemies, but asfellow: travelers, knowing the same feel ings, hopes, and fears, beset bv the same temptations, facing the same difficulties and intent on reaching the same goal. "As you give to the world so shall you get from the world" and our Pythian guests coming togeth er on an errand of fraternity will find fraternity the pass-word that will open to them the doors and the hearts of every one in our city. Twenty Nurses Graduate. News and Observer. Morganton, June 8. Appropri ate exercises were held at the State Hospital last evening in honor of the twenty graduating training nurses. Honorable B. K. Lacy, the speaker of the evening, was in troduced by Bruce Craven, and spoke eloquently of "Heroes" say ing that none are more heroic than the ones who deny themselves and give their lives to help others. The diplomas were presented by Cap tain F. M. Sawyer, of Asheville, president of the board of directors. I he directors met yesterday and found everything about the insti tution in a satisfactory condition and the management was given their unqualified commendation.

Review. - Dr. W. B. Clarke died at 'Marks last Sunday evening at 6:30 o'clock, at the age of seventy-three years. While at Tocowa, last February, he was stricken -with paralysis, from the effects of which he never re covered, and for nearly four months he was as helpless as an infant.; He was born in Caldwell county, X. C, and. received his education at the common schools of that county, finishing at Charleston, S. C. He studied medicine at Char leston, before the war, and for a short time ras located at his home town. In 1347 he was married to Miss Emma Powell, of Lenoir, X. C, and shortly afterwards moved to Mississippi. At the beginning of the civil war he enlisted with the Magnolia Guards, a company made up in Calhoun county, Miss., and about a year afterwards was transferred to Company A. 22nd. N. C. Regiment and was elected captain of said company, which office he held till the close of the war. He was .wounded three times, in the head, in the hand and in the foot. At the close of the war he again moved to Mississippi, locating at Sarepta, Calhoun county, where he followed his chosen profession. I 1891 he moved to Quitman couuty and for ten years, with the writer of this article, was engaged in pub ishing the Quitmau Quill. He was the father of four chil dren, only one of whom fa living He fa survived by one son, twc grandchildren and three brothers who live in North Carolina, his wife dying in 1903. He was a Mason and l)elieved with all his soul in the noble teachings of that order, was no church member, but abhorred profanity and the viola tion of the Sabbath, and honored nis urea tor witn more reverence than many who pray aloud and worship on the street corners Even though he had his faults, his acts of kindness and deeds of char ity are without number. We have known him many, many times to ride in rains and snows in the dead hours of night to relieve some suf fering human being, when no pay was expected and no charges made. We have lived under the roof with him for thirty-three years and we have never known him to turn a human being from his door hun gry. As a husband he was kind and good; as a father, abetter man to his children never lived. ' We believe that his good deeds, a hun dred to one, overbalance his faults, and that he will receive his reward in a brighter, better land. His remains were laid to rest at Belen, by the side of the loved ones gone before, hfa burial being con ducted with Masonic honors.
