COLORS BORN OF SPRING.

THE new colors are truly beautiful and
\ the combinations, although some what
daring, are never hideous- Old rose
and very pale blue, corn color and parma
violet. silver gray and geraniHm red and
pink and amber are some OF the latest.
The new shades of blue are very lovely
ranging from bluette to navy blue. ana from
palest turquoise to deep marine blue. IN
fact. more blue is seen than any other Color,
but in so many varied shades that one might
have a dozen blue gowns in ones Wardrooe
and still have no two anything ahke.
In all the new gowns sent OUT oy the

As said, Uncle Dockery was sitting
i'm the front porchin his shirtsleeves. He
was talking about crops mostly, and
saving that his cotton had been injured
at least twenty-five per cent. by the re-
cent hot weather. The Colonel has
gone back to his big plantation on the
Pee Dee. He did not expect to go out
on his campaign for two weeks yet.
1t was hard to get him to talk about
much except his son Oliver (w'ho stands
abreast with the most promising young
men in the State), who is just barely
convalescing from a frightful attack
of fever during which his life wa al
most despaired of. The old father says
the strain he went through in his tense
anxiety has left him almost gone to
pieces now that the relaxation of hope
has returned. The Colonel will stay at
his farm during these two weeks and
will look over infinitely good deal
of silver literature that he has in hand.

The Democrats about here are very
hopeful of results, and the friends of
Congressman Lockhart are confident
of his election.
There is not a more refreshing little
town in the State than this. The hills
around roll away for miles, leaving al
most the impression of a piedmont
section. The streets are clean, and the
stores busy. There is noticeable pre-
dominance of brick buildings, and a
saloon law which, l am told, keeps
good order. The saloon license here
is $3.50 year; $500 to the city;
1925 to the State, and s25 to the Intern
al Revenue. BY ordinance, the bar
rooms have to keep their doors and
windows wide Open-nO screens--so
that every one can be seen from the
outside More than that, the three sa-
looms here are the only ones in the
county. The fields as far away as one
can see seem to speak of a country of
plentiful crops, which the farmers say
are big enough if they would only
bring big enough money. On a subur-
ban eminence is the sweet little ceme-
terry with quite a number of mOnu-
ments as handsome as any in Raleigh.
But what most strikes a stranger here
is the home atmosphere of the town.
The trees would not be elms, except
i'm a home town, and the elms would
not be so generous Of shade except
