The above is the title of n little vol
ume containing some of the best minor
poetry of the South. The author, Mr..
III Nj. Clarkson, is native of South
Carolina. but now for twenty years a
resident OF Virginia. The book is de-
lightfully free from the metaphysical
melancholy that is the dominant strain
in the greater part of the abundant out
nut Of minor poetry Of recent years. Mr..
Clarkson evidently is not pestered with
the delusion that his muse is most at
tractive when she weeps and he permits
her to be, for the most part, frankly
cheerful
Mr.. Clarkson is not poet by pro-
fession and the poems composing the
volume were evidently written at wide
~ different periods. They are the pro-
auctions of man Of real poetic i'm
stinct who went about his affairs and
wrote when the mise moved him to
write. As a result his poems combine
a delicate fancy with genuine human
quality that should make them popular
alike with the cultured and the less
discriminative.
The poems are all short with the ex-
ception Of Evelyn" a metrical story

A new AND INTERESTING PHASE
In this Now Famous Suit. A Threatened Clash

Price and Mr. Geo. It. Bason. attorneys

PENDANTS attorneys. Summoning them to
appear on Saturday. and show cause
why direct order should not be issued

vor of the plaintiff. Mrs. James.
lit win be remembered that this case
grew ont of an accident on the Western
North Carolina railroad, in which En-
gineer ". A. James lost his life.
Suit was brought by Mrs. james in
the Rowan county Superior court, the

III the plaintiffs counsel began suit
ia Rowan county Superior court for the
appointment Of q receiver for the West
ern North Carolina railroad. with a
view of leyying upon such properties

hearing Of this case in the Superior
court. the defendants counsel applied
to Judge Simonton. of the United States
district court for a restraining order,
restraining the plaintiff or her attorneys
from further proceedings in the matter

granted the order. of course.
Now the plaintiffs counsel comes be-
fore the State Supreme court to ask
that 1T enforce its own mandate direct,
and that it shall order its own marshal TO
proceed to the execution Of its own

would seem. between the Supreme court
