THEFALLS OF THE TAR.

from the Raleigh Register, Tuesday,
January -, 1924.
The evening was calm and the shades OF
the Cleaning,
Had stamped indistinctness on forest and
lea,
When circled by beauty, my foot steps
were roaming
Where wide waters rolled Oh their tides
to the Sea.
But Luna shOne out from the thin clouds
And moved all refuIgent the Queen of
the Night
While decked with the thousands of worlds
that surround her,
Her orb seem d to roll in an ocean OF light.
One moment my spirit in fond recolleo-
Returned to the wood lands. the rocks and
the stream,
Where hope once inspired me-away ret
rospectiOn,
l gazed at the isle, on its pillows repos-
EMPOWERED with the woods, on the heaven
blue tide
Around it. unruffed the waters were clos
ing,
And seem'd from its beauties reluctant to
glide;
The Jasmine had woven its garlands of
brightness
The sweets of Woodbine were scattered
around,
Where Spring Oh its fanciful mantle of
lightneSs,
And spangled with tiOWrets the moscow
cred ground,
The current came on with tremul0ns
motion,
The mOonbeams appeared on its surface
to sleep;
But loud as the voice of the storm on the
ocean,
Its torrent awakened. when dash'd from
the steep
1t fell, and was hushed for a moment re-
cOiling,
1t rose from its pillow Of marble below,
Broke wild from its letters, with restless
ness boiling,
Then sank to the calm of its earlier flow
l turned from the turbulent way of the
billOw,
Its murmurings whispered the tale OF my
life,
Where all, as the foam that the dark
waters pillow,
Was lost in commotiOn, endurance and
strife.
But youth in its blossom and loneliness.
flOuriShcd,
On all mine eye dwelt when l turned
from that scene
And years when the hopes of existence
were nOurished,
Bore back the rememb1 ance of all l had
been.
gaZed On the fair forms that fiutter'd
around me,
Whose pleasures and gladness seem'd
ever to be:
But nothing could break through the dark
ness that bound me,
Oh! what is existence or pleasure to me?
OF all that is fleeted, Of all that l have
cherished
My love and affections, what can | recall?
They were, but they are nOt-their bright
hath nariShp'I
Destruction and darkness embitter them
all,
Whose voices are heard on the silence of

AS soft as the tones on the harp OF the air
When touched by the hand of the breezes
of Heaven,
To waken the feelings that sleep in de-
Spair,

Judging from the tone of our
Southern exchanges, we are decidedly
of the opinion that the farmers of the
South were never in better condition
than they are now. The wheat crop
turned out we'll, and corn promises
an abundant yield. If the surplus
corn is put into meat we are safe, at
least so far as having plenty to eat is
concerned. Cotton is doing we'll and
promises a good yield but we are
sorry to say the outlook for a good
price for it is not bright. The debts
contracted in making the years crops
were fewer and smaller than usual
and so, Notwithstanding the poor
outlook for cotton, the farmers of the
South are generally in good condition
and hopeful of the future. Monroe

CAPT. E. P. HOWELL, editor of the
Atlanta Constitution, in a recent
letter to his paper, says:
1t the government proposes to con-
tinue the control of the currency of
this country, it is a duty it owes the
people to fix uniform rate of interest,
and whatever rate of interest is charged
in excess of this rate should be declared
usurious and illegal, and this law
should be enforced as rigidly as the
laws relating to counterfeiting are
now. We need national usury law
and uniform rate of interest fixed by
law so that the humblest man in the
land can get money at the same rate
as the rich speculator. There can be
no healthy state of finance when it has
put the price of money up by COM
bination of circumstances to $50 per
cent one day and in week drop it to
3 per cent. There is no fairness in
making a Georgia farmer pay 20 per
cent annum for money and the New
York Spectator 5 per cent. 1t is as easy
to regulate the rate of interest that one
man can demand of another as it is to
regulate the number of grains to a
dollar. By restricting the rate Of
interest to uniform rate money will
drift to its legitimate channels and
people who are now trying to turn all
their property into money so they can
get a high rate of interest will be
looking for investments that will pay
them more than the legal rate fixed by
law. Now, why is not a national
usury law necessary and proper.

TWO HUNDRED MILLIONS.
What the Cotton Crop Will do
for the South---There Will be
Plenty Of Money to Move it.
Augusta Chronicle,

The cotton crop of the South will
bring into the United States, during
the season beginning September, TWO
hundred million dollars in gold.
There will be plenty of money, too
TO move the cotton crop. Wall street
understands the situation. As soon
as cotton begins to move actively the
balance, of trade, as between this
country and Europe, will rapidly turn
in our favor. Gold will pour in tor
our cotton and the financial situation
will be greatly improved.
We make the prediction that there
will be no scarcity Of currency to
move the cotton crop this season as
soon as it is ready 10 market.
The cotton crop saved this country,
principally the North, from financial
panic when the Earrings were embar-
raised on account of their "South sea
bubbles" in South America. 1t will
come to the rescue of the country
again before the year is out.
The South stands up so admirably
under the pressure that has produced
apprehension and panics in other
sections. The South will weather the
storm and will come out of it with fly
ing colors. She will make the grow
ing crop with less borrowed money
than any since the war. Cotton is
one cent higher than one year ago.
and it will not be worth any less than
it is to-day for some time to come. II
ought to be worth great deal more
