power on earth that could raise $40. 000.-
900 and equip 200. 900 men in a month

the resistance of one of the oldest n

supposed that the United States can
shut itself up as a hermit and avo

make that machinery; 1t desires the

The valor of those who struggled for

heritage of a happy and united people.

Fayetteville, \. e.. Dec. 1913.
TO the Editor.-The friends of Capt.
Jas. ID. :McNeill. of this city, win urge
his election as one of the Railroad Com
missioners to be elected by the General
Assembly soon to- convene.
Captain Mcneil is one of the best
known and most influential u emocrats
in all the Cape Fear section, an d by rca-
son of the fact that for years he has
been the poplar and efficient president
of the North Carolina State Fircmen's
Association is well and favoI7lbly known
in most sections of the State.
Capt Mcneil is a man Of fine ability,
wide information, great cornmon sense,
firmness. fairness, vigorous ;tnd effective
in anything he may undertake..
He has been a working Democrat,
whose valuable aid has done as much as
any one factor in carrying Cumberland
Democratic in the hard fought battles
of the years gone by.
No one who knows him will question
but that he would make an ideal Com
missioner, who would be neither demo-
gogue nor partisan in passing upon ques-
tons which would arise ana come before
him for decision. He would do his
whole duty under all circumstances-but
would always be Democrat.
This upper Cape Fear section with its
numerous railroads and fine old Scotch
Democracy and Red Shirts ask that
Can't. Mcneil be elected. speak
highly of Captain Mcneil, but it is not
in a meaningless way, because l mean
every word / have written. and the
acauaintances of Capt. Mcneil through
out the State will readily concedc that he
is fit and that l have not written II
word but what they will be willing to
endorse.

his vigorous Democracy and well known
qualifications. | believe he will.

The hills are white.
And from this easement, while the Night

And in the dark my soul is calling

Dear heart, to you.
Where are your steps? In gardens glad
with flowers
BY starred and sun-kissed streams.
Where lilies lean. and roses tell the
hours,
Sweet with dreams?
Or. walk you now, even as your Love
walks, weary
And lost to love and grace,
Where all the world is desolate and
dreary
For one dear face?
l know not, sweet! only know love
& darkness loves the light;
And if God arches radiant skies above
you,
Mine be the Night.
For Night is Light, for all the darkness
falling,
If I can dream love true.
So, in the Light my soul is calling
