A Hebrew Song--By Miss SaIIie Stockard.

Poetry is the glory of language, as
music is the glory of mathematics the
perfection of the two in one is oratory.
The rhythm and the measure of music is
similar to the flow of rich imagery in
poetry. Each rests upon feeling in the
human heart, and must be felt to be en-
joyed. Just as mathematics represents
the intellect, so music and her twin sis
ter represent feeling. Give higher mathe-
MATES integrity of feeling and the result
Is music. Music appeals to people devoid
of intelligence, because they still have
feeling and it is often used to restore
such to reason. 1t often attracts ami
mails because they are creatures of feel
ing.
Inc Hebrew was a people of deep feel J
ing. Many things had contributed to
this, their serfdom in Egypt, their wan
behring's in the wilderness, their inter-
course with Jehovah the smitten rock,
the River Jordan, the fire by night, the
pillar of cloud by day, their wonderful
men, Abraham and Moses, had all con-
tributed in making the Hebrew mind re-
Elective and the Hebrew literature rich
in poetry. Greek music was nothing TO
compare with that of the Hebrew be-

the Hebrew did feeling
The meditatiCns of the Hebrew were
all conceived IN greatest stress of pain
or pleasure, soul-singing was their ma
ture either from looking into the hcav-
ems by night, those throbbing golden
stars set in a silver sky, or the wonderful
doings of their leaders by day: their life
made their heart rich. Out of this grew
their literature. bssing itself on feeling
their own peculiar strength. Whether
in the individual or in the race literature
is one of the friends of life. The Greeks
gave the world intellectual culture, the
Hebrews gave religion and the otnel
forms of feeling.
One among the sweetest songs of the
Hebrew literature is that which was
pressed from the heart of David at the
fall of his friend and enemy. the father
and son, Saul and Jonathan. This is
feeling literature in its highest form, an
elegiac with a rhythm all its own.
1t will be remembered that David was
passing through tribulations, the chaff oc
worthlessness he was thrashing out
eyading Saul on the one hand and fighting
Amalekites on the other.
And it came to pass that a man out of
the camp from Saul, with his clothes
rent and earth upon his head, did obeis-
ance unto David, and said. THAT the

There is an idea that Ignorance dwclls
in these mountain gorges. That idea is
true. Our people up here who live i'm the
valleys are an intelligent class, but the
poor fellows who live IN the gorges, who
are cut off from the public school, are
ignorant and will remain so until the
State Board gives them some special con
sideration. Why our people are as in
telligent as they are is a great wonder

These western counties (and especially
the northwestern counties OF Ashe. Allie

dustral counties of the State. Lost to
the Democratic party; and eventually
that party will drop out of power in this
great old State. There is a feeling here
deep down in the hearts OF the people
that the Democratic party has always
been the party OF the east and the Re-
publican party the champion of the in
terests of the west. That conviction has
been deepened by the recent constitution
al amendment Now it is understood by
great many that on account Of the
shape of our school districts we are
going to be denied proper consideration

Schools In the Mountains

To tho Editor: The News and
Observer, though edited by an east
crn man, has always been herald of
the progressive spirit of Western North
Carolina, and for this reason this open
letter is asked to be printed in it.
This is a letter that comes not from
the brain but the heart of a down
caster (as called in these mountains)
who has learned that the future great
ness of North Carolina lies in the wealth
hidden under these hills and the grass
Their learned that these mountains in
stead of being inhabited by ignorance and
whisky are inhabited by the best inform
cd rural population in the State. Especi-
ally is this true of Ashe, Allegheny and
Watauga counties, known as the garden
spot of the State, under whose soil lie
millions of tons OF iron and copper
| wish to PROFOUND this question to the
State beard: why some special considera-
ton and advantage cannot be given these
mountain counties. beyond what is given
the lowland counties. on account of the
great disadvantages we have by reason
of our rugged and broken topography
Why cannot a Democratic State Board OF
Education redeem these western counties
to the party by making good the promise
of d four months school?
II is an imposition on our mountain
people to compel them TO map out school
districts as large as are required for
lowland districts. Down east the school
boards map out the school districts. Up
here our Lord has done that work for us.
We have to put in our school districts
as many children as live in between GER
tain mountain chains, or between certain
rapid streams. Take Ashe county for in
stance. Her mountain chains are too
Eigh for children to cross: her streams
are swift and dangerous. The north and
south forks OF New River divide the coun-
~ in three parts. Eleven large rapid
creeks run into the south fork and thir-
teen into the north fork. every one of
which would sweep a horse down stream
al high water and high water is no in
frequent occurrence up here. Southeast
Of the south fork the Peak mountains, with
it's spurs, breaks up the topography. BE
tween the rivers are the following noun

COLONIAL RECEPTION.

The colonial reception, given by
the ladies of the Methodist church
to their friends on last Saturday, was
one of the most unique entertain
ments given this season. Upon en-
tering the hall the guests were made
welcome by Mrs. Brown, whose
stately beauty was enhanced by a
dress from "ye olden days" powdered
coiffeur and all the accessories of a
toilette during the stormy days of
1776. She was assisted by Misses
Annie Fay Dubard and Mary Garner.

much to the enjoyment of the after

| Dolly Madison were the cynosure of
all eyes. Miss Mary Knox looked
like some dainty flower as she repre-
sented Janice Meridith. The color
scheme of the decorations was red,
white and blue.
In the refreshment hall a regular
salad course was served; also delicious
coffee and whipped cream, while the
snowy damask was barred with strip'

Our handsome young friend, Arch
Roane, who has been located in Ma
dill, I. t., in the practice of law for
the past three months, came home last
Saturday for a few days visit. Arch
says that while that is a good country,
it is not what he expected. 1t is much
overrated and is only at the boom
stage just now. Every profession and
lire of business is overcrowded and lie
says the chances Of business success
are not as great as some would have
you believe. He further says that
Grenada and Mississippi are just as
good as Oklahoma and the Territory
and he would advise young men to re-
main here and work out their careers
Arch has a host of friends here who
were very glad to see him.

BRILLIANT NUPTlALS.
Miss LiIyan Lucille Durrant WEEDS Mr.. Da.
vid Holman Greene.

One of the most brilliant social
events occurring in the good old town
Of Coffeeville for a long time was the
wedding on Wednesday evening at
$50, at the Cumberland Presbyterian
church, of Miss Lilyan Durrant, of
that town to Mr.. ID. II. Greene, of In
dianola. The impressive ceremony
was pronounced by Rector Quincy
Ewing, of Greenville. The church
was beautifully and Hastily decorated
with tropical flowers, palms, potted
plants, vines, ETC., and presented a
pretty scene
Immediately preceding the arrival
of the bridal party several solos were
sung by Mrs. j. w. Buchanan, of
Grenada. Miss Eva Coney, of Gre
NADIA College, presided at the organ
and rendered Memberships wedding
march as the party entered the
church. Preceding the bride, who
entered leaning upon the arm of her
father, and the groom, who was accom-
panied by his best man, MI. W. H.
Greene, were the attendants, ushers,
and pages. All met about the chan
Gel and it was truly a lovely sight.
Immediately after the ceremony
the party went to the home of the
BRIDES parents where a reception was
held, after which the guests enjoyed
dance and an elegant supper.
The bride is the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Horace Durrant, who are
among the most prominent and sub
~stantial citizens of Coffeeville, and sh'
is a young lady of many charming
graces and excellent traits of charac
ter. The groom is a prOminen
young business man of Indianola ant

A VALUABLE ENTERPRISE.
The Stave Mill Of Mr.. X. ". Hornsby U.s..
ing Lots Of Timber.

Probably few people realize how val
uaDle an enterprise is the little stave
mill OF Mr.. X. w. Hornsby, situated
| the northwest part of town. A SEN
TINEL representative was there this
week and saw the work being done and
was given some idea of the large
amount of timber the concern
can use. There is but one stave mill.
or bucker, as it is more properly call
ed, but it has a capacity of about r.
900 slaves a day. This keeps from u
to 10 men busy at the plant and from
10 to 100 in getting out timber to
keep the machine moving. This fur.
nishes employment to a lot of men,
besides affording a good market for all
the white oak timber in the country.
For this the highest market price is
paid.
The machine has been running
about two weeks and will continue to
run as long as the timber is supplied
by those who have it. 1t is to be
hoped that those who have white oak
will keep the machine running. The
output is shipped to New Orleans and
from thence to Italy to be made into
wine barrels. This little establish.
ment deserves to be encouraged as il
will be a great benefit to this towr
and section of country.
