LITERARY NOTES.


The Life of Gen. Robert Z. Lee for

pany, Raleigh. Price, IS cents.
This is an age when children are
first and foremost. Everything is
done to make life beautiful and bright
for them. In books and in the schools
every possible help is thrown around
them, and if it were possible they
would be relieved of the necessity OF
studying at all. Mrs. Williamson's
book will be warmly welcomed. There
| is not boy III the South who is not
| inspired by hearing the old soldiers
talk of Lee. He will read this book if
placed in his hands with infinite pleas
|ure, devouring its every page, and be
impressed with the noble, manly and
kindly character of this Christian
hero. 1t is written for children who
have just learned to read, and the short
words and colored illustrations make
it very attractive. These words com
pose Mrs. Williamson's dedication:

School History of the United States,
by Susan Pendleton Lee, with ques-
tions and summaries by Louise Manly,
Publishers: b. +. johnson Publish
ing Company, Richmond.
This school history, that does equal
justice to all sections, has received
praise from the highest sources and
been introduced into many schools. 1t
does not seek to supply "a long-felt
want of aSouthern history. 1t recog-
nizes that the true history cannot be
SECTIONAL; that there is no geography
of truth and facts. Most of the
school histories tell in detail the sto-
| ry of the Northern half of the Repnb-
lie, while comparatively few give
full history of the Southern half.
This book is as compact and succinct
as possible with the scope in view,
and is clear, full and accurate.

it brings forward AS case parallel to
the governments buying silver (bul-

leaving the reader To draw the conclu-
SION that there would be no enhance

can be no parallel Of the kind quoted,

The comparison would have been just,
if it had been somewhat as follows.
Uncle Sam buys farm, buildings. hay,
grain, breeding mare and horses and
pays in working horses. Tins would
evidently of itself tend 10 enhance all
the commodities enumerated which
Uncle Sam buys. Or, again, Uncle Sam
buys iron steel and brass, and pays
back in steam engines, locomotives and
other machines for doing trqnsporta-
ton and work. II Uncle Sam possessed
a monopoly Of the business, rs he does
of making dollars, he would evidently
be the means of enhancing or depress-
Ing at will, the prices Of iron, steel,
brass, etc, used IN manufacturing
these machines. And, If Uncle Sans
demand were nearly the whole demand,
the prices Of these commodities would
be high or low, rs Uncle Sam called for
much or little. The Journals "horse

.'What width of sections shall We use

question asked at a beekeepers' conven-

for The American Bee Journal:
Mr.. Hines-I prefer /; inch sections
because they are nearer natures way.
Mr.. Bryan would have Il rather

Mr.. Merritt-We only get money for
each pound when we ship TO the COM
mission men. This being the case, where
would we gain by using narrower Sec
lions?
Frank Coverdale-I think that mar
rover sections will be finished up nicer
by the bees, and while being built they
are capped sooner because the honey
ripens quicker Then again many gro
cerymen Will give 16 cents per pound
and sell them over the counter at 1e
cents apiece and make a good profit.
Mr.. Merritt-There is certainly one
good point-that thin combs in these
narrow sections will be ripened much
quicker.

REPUBLICAN NEWS PAPER AS
ISOLATION
Meets at Hastings May 1917. Good AT
tendance Notwithstanding Adverse
Circumstances.

The Republican Newspaper Associa-
ton of the state met AT Hastings. in
annual convention, on Thursday and
Friday Of last week. The meeting was
well attended, though il is aa "otf
year" in politics, and no urgent cam
paign matters were at hand demanding
attention. The membership of the as
ISOLATION is something over 100, about
sixty Of whom were present at the
whole or part of the sessions. The
regular business sessions during the
day were private, and of such a nature
a to bc of little general interest; but
the reception given by Hon. Daniel
Striker on Thursday evening and the
banquet given by the citizens Friday
evening were very enjoyable affairs.
Another pleasant exhibition Of hospi-
tally was the ride over the city and
the environs at the close of the Thurs
day afternoon session. At six o'clock
about thirty carriages were found in
waiting at the hotel, and an hour was
very pleasantly spent IN traversing the
beautiful streets and drives and in
viewing places of interest in the city.
The editor was fortunate enough 70
ride after Pontiac Chief, a beautiful
chestnut brown trotter, one Of the fast
est IN the state, with q record of 2:l6i
and owned by DR.. Lowry Of that city.
Al the banquet given by the citizens
Friday night, covers were laid for one
hundred and seventy-tive, and every
place was occupied. The menu was
elaborate and ample justice was done
to it by all. Hon. p. T. Colgrove OF
Hastings was postmaster, and performed
that duty to perfection. His remark,
on introducing the speakers were witty
and taking. The responses, too, were
nearly all as effervescent with humor
Gus and witty illusions. On the whole
the occasion was so full of enjoyment
for the members Of the press, hat theil
visit to Hastings will ever be cherished
in memory as one OF the bright anC
yerdant spots along LIES pathway.

BERLINER SUSTAINED

The recent decision of the -court Of
appeals on the validity of the Berliner
telephone patent was in favor of the
Bell monopoly, the owners of that pat
ent.
This decision bears ear marks
of corruption. The Berliner patent
was secured by fraud on the part of the
Bell monopoly. 1t was purposely kept
in litigation till their own patents were
about to expire. They then pushed
the claim and patent was granted
covering almost exactly the same claims
as the Bell. 1t was thus equivalent to
giving them monopoly OF the bust
ness for another seventeen years.
privilege denied by the law in the in.
terest of the people.
We understand that there is still an
other chance to take the case to the L
5. supreme court. If so, the case shoulC
be pushed with vigor to destroy thii
outrage perpetrated upon the people il
the name of law.

Muddy Roads and City Merchants.

Until recently the inhabitants OF
cities in this country have generally re-
garded the building of country roads as
an undertaking which belonged to the
farmer alone, the expense of which be
should bear. OF late, through natural
causes and the general agitation of the
question, better understanding has
been reached. The mud blockades In
various sections of the country in the
last few years have served TO bring mer-
chants of towns and smaller cities TO
realizing sense Of what bad roads mean.
Three years ago the merchants of an
Ohio city of 30, 600 inhabitants lost, on
account of muddy roads, in two weeks
of the holiday season, over 800, 600 OK
trade. Smaller cities and towns. OF
course, suffered still more In proportion,
being more directly dependent upon the
trade which the farmers supplied

THE INCOME TAX LAW

The Supreme court of the United
States has handed down a decision by
majority of > to 1 in the matter of
the income tax law. II is declared I'M
constitutional SO all the moneys
which have been paid the government
according to the provisions of the law
will be refunded.
This leaves the matter much better
than it was left by the previous decls-
ion. but on the whole it is just such a
decision as we would expect TO have
from a body of men who hold tena-
ciously to trivial tcchnicalities, seeing
only the law and precedent,and loseing
sight of the broad principles of equity,
affecting humanity at large. They are
like the Scribes and Pharisees who
'sstrain at a gnat and swallow a camel

cerebra takes cognizance of law, but
loses sight of Justice; takes cognizanct
of what is and has been, but knows moi
what ought to be; upholds the majesty
of the law but overrides the rights ot

The income tax Is the most just anc
equitable of all taxes; the only question
which should arise Is one of practibility
expedency. and with this question courts
have nothing to do; this is a matter
