SAFETY RESTS WITH THE MASSES.

a great many years ago THOMAS II.
BENTON said The country's troubles
spring from uneasy politicians its safety
rests with the tranquil masses and there
is a world OF truth in the remark. Just
now, if never before, uneasy politicians
have plunged the country into a sea Of
trouble-and the tranquil masses are
about to arise and preserve its safety In
the popular uprising of the people-the
intelligent, thinking people-no harm
will come. They will simply adjust mat
tiers at the ballot box and return to their
places of busineSs-the farms and work
shops-and the politicians will be al
lowed to rest for a season. The foolish
notion of some folks that the farmers of
North Carolina are likely to do some
thing rash and turn the state over to re-
publican rule is moonshine. They have
as much at stake as anyone, and they are
already beginning to penetrate the fraud
and deceit of the third party salvation.
They will not attempt to embarrass any
business or do Injustice to n corpora
ton, for safety rests with the tranquil
masses"

THEY CAN ALL DO 1T.

Every man is a politician He may
not be a bowling success as a politician,
yet just the same he can talk glibly on
the situation can predict, no matter with
what degree of correctness, how a GER
tain county or district is going he knows
all about the tariff he is familiar with
what "LINCoLN said" although he never
quotes him; civil service reform and a
navy are both easy topics for his discus
sion. While a man may lack in all other
accomplishments; be dull and stupid in
law or physics; have no acquaintance
with the arts, sciences or literature-he
is a walking encyclopaedia on politics,
and delights to talk upon the subject.
And so, whether a man could be elected
constable or not, has nothing to do with
the politicians dream. Politics is not a
summer complaint nor q winter com
plant it is an universal, $50 day piece of
idiocy that all men have more or less,
and if they want to talk politics or write
politics it is IN Just to shock their vanity.
An owl will sit on a trees branch and
boot all night long and think-if owls
think-that it is making music. Who
would shock its vanity? SO a man will
60 down to the grocery or the club room
and change his breath and opinions a
dozen times during the evening and all
the time think he is talking politics. If
he thinks so, and enjoys it, why not let
little happiness in the world after all, and
the man who can be elected constable, if
he wants the office, is happier than a
king.

GOMEZ

Ny sweetheart! my l~oveling! you darkened all
the day,
When from my silent dwelling your footsteps
turned away;
The morn was dark as midnight, the MONDAY
sad as dawn,
The milk white daisies dropped their heads
along the dewy lawn.
NJ darling! my dearest. | sought the garden
round,
But never in a blossom your precious face l
found;
No rose was red beside your lips. no lily like
your throat,
No sound or thrilling Of your voice in any
thrush's note.
All. What is like your eyes, dear? gray sparkles
of the sea,
So clear and crystal shining their beryl chances
be;
And where is any fewer of all that may com
With the softly dancing glitter of the sunshine
III your ha.r.
Alone through lingering daytime ! listen for
your feet,
Those springing steps no longer along the path
way beat:
/ hear the dewdrops rustic in the branches
overhead,
But home and you together for many a day
have fed.
My life is sad and weary, too dark with want
and pain,
But your dear eyes would bring its light and
gladness back again;
My soal is / tired of desert sands, bereft of cheer
and balm,
For you were like the diamond spring beneath
its lonely PAIN.
Come back, come back, my darlingl Across the
spaces hear.
Come irht this mint of grief and gloom, my
Hespcr shining clcaT;.
Not long have l to linger, not long to call or
cry;
Come back my treasure! come, my heart, and
bless me Ger l die.

TOO MANY TREES CUT,
IImber Is Drug the Market, but Mr..
Speer Predicts Scarcity.

IEmber Is Drug on the Market, but Mr..
speer Predicts a Scarcity.
d. r. Speer left last evening for trip
through Canada and Michigan in search of
lumber. Mr.. Speer says it is plentiful now,
ests will be scarce in 25 years and prices of
lumber will be high. The time was
when only the best trees were cut,
but in this age everything is chopped down
as the woodsmen move along. Maine used
to have lots of timber, but Mr.. Speer says
the forests have disappeared from the State
except in few sections in the northern
part. Out West the railroads are doing
what they can to prevent a total destruction
of the forests by planting new trees, and
they are meeting with some success. 1t
takes about 20 years for the average tree to
develop. At present large quantities of
timber are shipped from Washington and
the far Northwest
Lumber is drug on the Market" con-
tinued Mr.. Speer Everybody who has a
few acres of timber land, wants to get rid
of the trees. They prefer the money and
the result is that the market is overstocked
and prices are low. This thing can't con-
tinue forever and the day is coming when
lumber will be scarce. There are still large
tracts of wood land in the United States
and the present generation will not see the
scarcity. Kentucky is a great timber State,
but TOR lack of railroad facilities the lumber
is not touched. i own some land down
there and find it impossible to keep the
people from stealing the timber.
''In spring the mountaineers cut the trees
near the streams, and the freshets carry
them down to the towns where they are
sold. There is no poaching of timber in
Canada or Michigan. In these sections the
laws are strict and the tracts are carefully
watched.
