Armfeld for Associate Justice.

TO the Editor: Many Of the Demo
Gratis of Catawba county, together with
the writer desire the nomination of
Hon. Charles II. Armfeld for Associate
Justice of the Supreme Court. He prac-
tices in our county and adjoining coun-
ties, besides his extensive practice at
home, and is known to our people as
one of the ablest lawyers in the Stale.
He is a man of research and much study;
fine common law lawyer, and learned
in every branch of the law. Mr.. Ann
field has literary education, and is a
bright and strong writer, possessing a
splendid intellect in every particular AMI
perfect judicial temperament, making
him admirably fitted for the position OF
Supreme Court Judge.
He is known to be a man of high honor
and integrity, of clean private life and
sober habits, qualifications that should
always adorn the judicial ermine. M.
Armfield is a Democrat of the purest
tyre, never faltering in his loyalty to
the party.
He is a friend of the people without
the enmity of the corporations, and a
man at whose hands both will receive
equal and exact justice.
He is in the prime of manhood and i'll
tellectual strength, and ii nominated
will add lustre to the court of last re-
sort, and his name will go down to pos
te1ity with that of Pearson, Ruffin and
Smith. Being a strong party man with
a clean record, without political bias,
and high personal character, his nOmi-
nation will be a popular one with the
people of the State, and the Democratic
party will make no mistake in placing
the judicial banner in the hands of this
young giant of the West

a Hymn to the Sea.

My heart, o, Sea- my heart, too, hath its
tides.
It's moods of rage, it's Gains. it's storms
again;
It's ice-bound regions where no life
abides,
It's snow fields where a rose would seem
a stain;
It's caverns deep, more murmurous must
cal
Than shells that in their dreaming sing
of thee;
It's wrecks majestic, and it's towers tall
OF moon white castles built for ecstacy,
But turned by time to echoing tombs
forlorn.
Where many drowned hope doth lie in
state.
Lo! these are mine, too; but that jubi-
liant scorn.
That blthe disdain of ever-changing
fate.
Which thou by very mutability
Dost manifest to all-that would 1 learn
of thee!
Before thine altar of implacable rock,
Oerhung with foam-fower garlands
And Jared ever by the dangerous shock
OF votive waves-there, while the mir
rored crescent
OF young Sciences forehead gem doth
rest,
AS in a shaken glass of chrysolite,
Upon the love-tossed armor of thy
breast;
There while long, singing lines of break
ers white,
Like rows of vestal virgins seen afar,
Come trOoping up thy dark sOnorous
aisles.
And Evening offers up her loveliest star;
There will l proffer thee my vanished
smiles,
My joys forsworn, my sorrows yet to be,
SO thou but hear my prayer, o, well be-
loved Sea!

view.

A Little Boys Prayer.

INEW
Little Ben is the only son of j. B. Will
bur, president of the Royal Trust Com
pany of Chicago. Until Ben was six years
of age he had always addressed his
parents as papa" and mamma" Then
his mother struggled with him to speak
to and of them as father and mother. He
was corrected many times before he could
make up his mind to address them as she
wished. One night, while saying his
prayers, he, as usual, asked God to bless
his dear papa and mamma. Suddenly he
stopped praying and in perfectly
solemn and respectful manner said:
Excuse me, God, l should have said
father and mother; but, Lord they are
the same old party"

fine world, and you have lived through

But in your nineteen years there was

Governor Aycock was so highly pleas
ed with President Roosevelt that he de-
scrfbed him as the sort of man you
like to ask to take a drink. That may
sound all right in North Carolina, but
it is not calculated to arouse the en-
thusiasm of the VIC. T. U.''-Washing-

We do not believe the Governor of North

Here is comment of a New York edi-
tor which should be read by all interest
ed, not only in the publishing of books
but also in the writing of them.
For many months past he says, "a
publishing house (Which shall be un-
named here) has been sending us week
after week piles of bound volumes of the
most varied kinds, protesting to contain
ficti0., or poetry, or theology, or what
not We have looked into them all, at
first with the expectation of finding some
thing worth reading; in the end with the
hope of finding out why in the world they
were published They are all absolutely
hopeless and impossible from any literary
standpoint The authors may have been
misguided into the belief that any one
can write by the rate at which books are
produced nowadays; but they furnish
proof in black and white that some peo-
pie cannot write. 1t would have been a
mercy to them if some firm, but kind
critic had taken them in hand and per-
suaded them not to publish, even if they
must write. 1t would have saved their
readers pain, and the reviewers, too, for
it is not pleasant to crush down ambition
for fame, or even the yearnings for
wealth. The publishers readers must be
a more than charitable lot; it is hard to
say what stuff they would reject if they
accept this. Perhaps the circle of each
authors friends is large enough to abb
sorb an edition. Some of the books have
apparently passed through more than
one. 1t may be that these authors have
discriminating friends, like the wealthy
Boston merchant with a literary daugh-
ter. She wrote novels and had them pub
lshed, and then her father bought up the
edition and stored it in the cellar in one
of his warehouses. Her collected works
were all found there when he died. But
what has a reviewer TO do with this
stuff? 1t is not literature land it would
be barbarous to make fun of poor incom-
petents. They are all alike in disregard
of art and in happy ignorance of the or
binary requirements of style. That might
be passed over if they had anything
worth saying to say"

the danger of infringement of copyright

THE GENESIS OF LITTLE BREECHES.
(From the Chicago Tribune)
People have not yet forgotten Mr.. Hay,
the literary man, in Mr.. Hay, the states
man. Treaties with England may be
more important than ballads from Pike
county, but they are by no means more
entertaining. One is glad therefore,
that Mr.. Hay has found time to tell an
interviewer just how it was that he came
to write Jim Bludso,' Little Brooches"
and ''Banty Tim" Little Breeches," it
appears, was what might be called the
mother ballad. 1t was the first of the
series and led to the others. Mr.. Hay
first heard the story of it on hot Sum
day morning when he had gone to church
and sat listening to drowsy sermon.
The minister knew the story and told
it, He told it in the Pike county phrase
ni,1f nf
view. That phraseology and that point
of view is the same, says Mr.. Hay, IN
Pike county, Illinois, and in Pike county,
Missouri, just across the river. AS Mr..
Hay went out of the church he carried
with him a deep impression of the story
he had heard. On his way down to New
York he put Little Brooches into verse.
When he reached New York he showed
the poem to Whitelaw Reid. 1t appeared
Immediately in the New York Tribune.
BY that time Mr.. Hay had got the swing
and rhythm of the ballad form, and with
in a week turned out Jim Bludso,
Banty Tim" and the rest. Then, curl
ously enough. his inspiration stopped
suddenly. He could do no more Pike
county ballads. Mr.. George Cary Egg
gleston then editing a weekly, offered
him what was in those days a large sum
of money for another poem in Pike coun-
ty style, but he was unable to accept the
opportunity. The Pike county ballads
were a phrase, an episode The impulse
came, stayed about ten days, and then
left At least, that is the way Mr. Hay
puts it. One may suspect, however, that
perhaps MIR. Hay was wiser in his gener-
alton than some of his successors have
been in theirs. He may have realized
the foolishness of working in a single
vein too long. There are certain liter
airy men who, if they had been lucky
enough to make hit with Jim Bludso,
would have been writing a Pike county
ballad every week ever since. Fortu-
nately Mr.. Hay did nothing of that kind.
He wrote ballads as long as he felt he
could write them we'll, and no longer.
He did not sell the lees and dregs of his
Imagination.

Barberton, Aug. 22.-A lawsuit which
ended happily in the wedding Of the
ltigants was tried before Squire
Werntz, Thursday. The parties to the
suit were Mary Konich and Mike Eur
awski, and the affair began long ago
when Mike met Mary in Cleveland
where she lived at that time
Mike was greatly smitten with Mary
and there followed a courtship which
progressed with the utmost smoothness
until Mike induced the girl to- join him
at Barberton, promising that he would
pay her board until such time as they
could be married. Accordingly Mary
took up her residence in house near
the one occupied by her lover, in
