SURRENDER.

In barren country Lord,
/ builded on a hight;
There was neither tree mol bird.
Nor stream, nor grass in sight:
And a bold windmetrode the sea.
That in the Instance rolled.
And the firmament hung over me
Gray, sunless, dim and cold.
I lived in my house alone,
Defiant, dark Inc strong:
My bed and my pillow were stone.
And storm-like was my song.
That wantoned with the suuall.
And buffeted round the shore:
/ roared: Il am master Of all,
And shall be evermore!"
But, Lord, when Thou dds come.
With grass and birds and flowers.
And sun, and wild-bee hum.
And ~plangent, f~reshening showers
I softened and took Thy hand,
And walked with Thee away,
Far, far in the fragrant land
Under a sky of May.

STATE PRESS.

There is altogether too much said
about the populist senator from North
Carolina by the state papers. His name
of hawked around and his doings and
sayings, though strong and malevolent,
emblazoned in the state dailies almost
every day. Ohio Wilson, who is no bet
ter than he is, through his Hsyseeded,
is giving him any amount of the same
kind Of advertising. This is poor policy.
Don't do it, brethren of the state papers.
Salisbury Sun.
Mecklenburg people are finding from
Judge Sutton's order to the sheriff that
the provision of the revenue act of the
last legislature concerning the pay
ment of taxes is not a Pigment OF the
brain, but very much of a reality. Sher-
if Smith had long ago published this
provision Of law and warned the people.
A case involving its conStitutionality is
now pending in the supreme court,
having gone up from Johnston. 1t re-
mains to be seen What action Judge SUIT
ton will take when the list of delin-
QuentS is handed 10 him Saturday. No
judge or any other officer is to be crit
icised for following the mandate of the
law, but rather for not doing il, but IL
is certain that IL in this county his honor
directs an immediate and rigid compii-
ance with the term of the act in question
the legs of delinquents will stick out of
the Jail windows. 1t is not that people
here are more averSe than other people
to pG ying taxes-no people enjoy it-but
that a very great many of them have not
the money nor any way TO get II at once.
Charlotte Observer.
When. a short time after the adjourn
ment of the legislature, The News and
Observer pointed out that a law had
been enacted for the punishment by fine
and Imprisonment OF all parties not pay
ing their taxes by the term OF court after
the date when a sheriff is authorized to
collect by distraint, some Of the repub-
lican papers set up a howl, even deciar-
ing that 10 such law had been enacted.
The following advertisement, inserted in
the Charlotte papers by republican
Judge. who was a member of the last
legislature, will settle the matter for all
time:
'IMPORTANT TO TAX PAYERS.
IT instructed the sheriff from the bench
this (Monday) morning to prepare a de-
%ainQuent list OF all parties not having
paid their taxes by Saturday night. the
18th inst, and to furnish the same to
this court. The list will then be handed
to the solicitor L be dealt with accord
ing to law. The sheriff has no voice In
this matter.

cago, yesterday afternoon three persons
were burned. Two of the injured, Mrs.
Effie Lennie and Mrs. M. N. Kurth,
probably will die. Miss Clara Lennie
was badly burned about the face and
body. Mrs. Lennie was preparing
luncheon when the explosion occurred,
the burning fluid completely envelop.
ing her. Miss Lennie hastily wrapped
her mother in q cloak to extinguish
the flames, then picked up the blazing
stove land carrying it to window,
threw it into the court below. 1t struck
Mrs. Kurth, who was looking up to as
certain the cause of the excitement,
and in an instant she, too, was envelop-
ed in flames. Both Mrs. Lennie and
Mrs. Kurth were terribly burned.
