THE SOWER'S SONG.

Now hands to seed-sheet, boys.
We step and we cast; old Times on
wing:
And would we partake of harvest,s Joys,
The corn must be sown in spring.
Fall gently and still. good corn,
Lie warm in thy earthly bed;
And stand so yellow some morn,
For beast and man must be fed.
Old earth is a pleasure to see
In sunshiny cloak of red and green:
The furrow lies fresh: this year will he
AS years that are past have been.
Fall gently and still. good corn,
Lie warm in thy earthly bed;
And stand so yellow some morn,
For beast and man must be fed.
Old earth, receive this corn.
The son Of six thousand golden sires;
All these on thy kindly breast were born;
One more thy poor child requires,
Fall gently and still, good corn,
Lie warm in thy earthly bed,
And stand so yellow some morn,
For beast and man must be fed.
Now steady and sure again,
And measure of stroke and step we
keep:
Thus up and down we cast our grain:
Sow well and you gladly reap.
Fall gently and still, good corn.
Lie warm in thy earthly bed;
And stand so yellow some morn.
For beast and man must be fed.

SUNDAY SCHOOL WORKERS

To the Editor:
Permit me TO announce through Your
paper that there will be meeting of
the Executive Committee of the North
Carolina Sunday School Association at
Durham. Thursday afternoon, June Sth.
1899 1t is earnestly hoped that every
member of this committee will be pres
cnt. The work for which the Associa-
ton stands needs just at this time to be
vigorously prosecuted. so that. the bene-
ticent Influences of Il Sunday school may
touch every portion of the State where
mt present the people are without this
great means of moral culture and up
building. On the night of the Sth we
propose to hold a mass meeting at some
suitable place where addresses will be
delivered. and other appropriate exer-
ciSes for the good of the Sunday school
cause.
In this connection. | will further an
nounce the appointment of Rev. Jno. G..
Troy. of JoneSboro. as secretary of the
associations; vice Mr.. Chas. =. Wheeler,
resigned. Mr.. Troy is the editor of the
Religious Department of the Charlotte
Observer. and also contributes, frequent
ly, interesting articles to the paper
signed 'Troian.' He is well fitted for
the position of secretary. having occn-
pied the chair of assistant secretary in
the Western North Carolina Confer
cnce. of which body he is a member.
Let all communications relating to the
Sunday school work of the association be
addressed to him at Jonesboro, \. c.
Respectfully.

NORTH CAROLINA LEADS.

The American Cotton and Wool Re-
porter, a textile journal published at
Boston, New York and Philadelphia
makes weekly review of milling en-
terprises. Of such enterprises men-
toned for the week ending May p.
1899. there are 81. OF this number Is
are from North Carolina, and of these
are new mills and / are enlarge
ments or Improvements. The new
mills to be built are at Mount Pleas
ant. Kernersville. Durham, Marion,
Newton. Cleveland, Greensboro. I'M
provements or engagements are to be
made at mills at Rockingham. Hen
rietta. Mayodan, Davidson, Raleigh,
Mt. Holly, Mt. Pleasant, Gastonia, Sal
isbury. Kings Mountain.
Altogether this is not a bad showing
for the Old North State--ti!at she Is
doing more in the cotton milling bust
ness than all the rest of the country
together The names of the pro-
motors show also that these enter
prises are backed almost entirely by
North Carolina capital.

in criminals known to be guilty of in

the negro rapist, who has been idcn-

young Brice entered the preparatory
department of Miami university. At
Oxford. o. At the outbreak Of the
war he enlisted in Capt. Dodd's Uni
verstty company, one Of the frst to be
formed at the outbreak Of the war.
His company remained At Camp Jack

1861. when he returned to college. only
to re-enlist in April. 1852. in another
university organization commanded by
Captain Mcfarland. which later on was
merged into the Eighty-sixth Ohio In
fantry and known as company A. He
remained In the organization during
Its summer campaign In West Virginia
ana then returned to the university.
where he was graduated In 1863. After

pointment as auditor Of Allen county.

railrond lawyer was in the legal de-
partment Of the Lake Erie and Louis

acquired a moderate share OF stock and
played an energetic part in construc-

to nag bread wagon. II was In
Governor Fosters time as chief magis-

The sultan Of Morocco is going to
prevent his subjects from evading tho

1t he has to behead every tax dodgsr IN

tax lodging by the rich Is well-nigh

and travellers. knowing how corrupt
and rapacious the sultan's government
is. do not doubt that much Of 1t is JUS
Unable. But the sultan looks at the
matter In different light. He de-
clares that there is no excuse for tax
lodging. that It is criminal. and. more
over. that he has hit upon punish
ment to mt the crime. Mr.. Frank E.

OF North Africa. including the access

sonal letter to Mr.. Frank l.. Dingley
OF Lewiston, Me-. brother Of the we'll

gives graphic account OF the sultan's
bloody and desperate method OF proce-
dure. While in Tangiers. Mr.. Jackson
learned that the sultan, at the head OF
large body of troops, was marching
through the country collecting taxes.
and that at Laroiche he had decapi-
tsted large number OF tax dodgers
and spiked their heads above the city
gates, to serve us warning to others
who might not be disposed to pay
their dues promptly. "a company OF
