NORTHERN CRITICISM
OF SOUTHERN LITERATURE

Of Power IS written Of in the same
number of the Critic that contains the
article referred TO above. | make q quo
tation from what IS said OF tins recent
Southern book: 1T may be doubted
whether any such faithful and dependable
picture of Indian character in its IN
modified state has as yet been incorpOrat-
ed in fiction" Again it says in decided ap-
probation: Miss Murfree rises to her
climaXes with superb ease and one does
not for an instant distrust her knowledge
or her power. The study Of Laroche, the
French soldier and diplomat, would alone
make the book worth reading. Behind
the scenes Of the story tower Miss Muir
frees Great Smoky Mountains, which she
describes with her accustomed brilliancy
and fervor, The beauty and the high IN
tellectual quality of her style make one
regret the occurrence, now and then, OF
sentences unmusically cumbrous.'
1 have more thar once insisted that
Miss Murfree had produced two or three
OF the best novels from southern writer's.
| lately mentioned that one of the lead
ing living authors of New England, Col
onel Higginson, had given it as his opinion
that I'm The Clouds" was one of the very
best novels that had appeared in the ten
previous years when he wrote. The
North praised excessively. perhaps, Miss
JOhnston's three novels. Never having
read a line of them, | an personally lg-
norant of their merits, but l have seen
some caustic opinions as to her first two
novels. The writer somewhat adverse tic
the South, gees so far in her denlals OF
merit as to say that the impossible is
one of the elements which predominant
in Southern fiction. Of course this "ele-
ment' does not appear in the five hun
dred ov~er-praised novels produced in the
North. She doubts even If the real hu
man nature of the South ever Is portray
ed in her felton, I wonder if she ever
read Miss Murfree and Joel Chandler
Harris, or "The Leopard's Spots? She
goes for the last charging it with
containing nearly all the fallacies pecu,
liar to Southern literature She con
cedes to it .'vindictive power Her feel

gracious, sweet, most lovely now. She
should read the religious and secular
newspapers, the resolutions of meeting
held, and study the foolish escapades Of
Roosevelt, and the crushing antagonist
of the marplots and money-kings. The
talk of love and joyousness, of peace anG

all poppycock, the merest veneerlng, the

country Overlooking with all the peoples

preserved? Thus far the South is to an
overwhelming extent original Ameri-
cans. North Carolina has fewer foreign
people born in all the lands than any
other State. l believe the last census
that of 1900-shows less than 5000 foreign
born citizens for our State. The pity Of
it is that for the last few years the i'm
migrants haVe been mainly of an inferior
and destitute class, and perhaps ignorant
to boot.
There IS one railroad president and cor
p~oration IN North Carolina that holds to
the law of God relative to the Lords
Day. No Sunday trains are allowed to
run that day, setting thereby a wise and
wholesome example. I notice in a report
signed by the editor Of the News and
Observer a significant reference that de
serves general reproduction. Mr.. Daniels
wrote: Never in It's history has a Sun

answer has been, no During the big

Northern writers understand literature

all suprose-"have a better
sense of literary proportion with
out illiterate exaggeration." This IS a
sample of much more Of the same kind.
She possibly has been associating with a
half dozen or more Southern writers who
nave become we'll Yankeeized in taste
and sympathy, and prefers the people "up
there to the poor white trash down
here. Well, there is no accounting for
taste and sy~mpathies. There is probably.
however, a real basis of truth in what she
says. But then there are Northern au-
thors who do not exhibit the qualities in
superiority which she claims for them.
Henry James once wrote fine, admirable
English. He is often criticized now for
obscurities. etc. Howells writes very en-
~gagingly, but he is a poor hand to tell
a story, and IS often very dull. These
are the most famous among the living
writer's in the North. Mr.. Allen writes

on this range says the Duluth Her
aid, Coleman A. Terry being in Du-
luth for the aYowed purpose of maxi

At present diamond drills are used
for core drilling exclusively, but
Terry claims he has a drill which
uses steel shot instead of carbons for
drilling. Arrangements have been
made to drill into the hardest piece

Section Thirty company was APP

to haYe whatever might be found
made public Mr.. Terry is negotiat-
ing with several property owners who
want their lands explored, and will
put the machine up somewhere next
week and drill into the ore for moth
ing. This will be done to show what
can be done with the steel balls used
instead of the carbons. The carbons
are expensive. They cost $50 a carat
and sometimes they do not last more
than sixty minutes. Others may

The Game Laws.

Frank Ives, editor of the CaSs Lake
Times, has few game law ideas of
his own as follows:
ut is undoubtedly true that the
settlers kill many moose and deer and
as many partridges as they need. but
place yourself in a like position and
wonder if your respect for an infam-
Gus law would not succumb to the
Ipangs of hunger. We admit that if
we were put in the settlers place,
with no meat but Il few pounds of
pork or bacon, which we had packed
for a score of miles on our back, and a
great hulking moose should show up
within reach Of our pop, we would
forget the law and Sam Fullerton
graft and down him, if we could. We
would not hesitate to say that we are
opposed to any game law, no matter
what are its provisions, We do not
favor any law which has a tendency
to protect that which is of no COM
Cl6Il NdluC. anu W
it, we must sacrifice our ideas ofciVil-
ization and retrograde to the confines
of savagery. The settlers who feed
the moose or deer from his attenuated
turnip patch and in the fall, when
the animal is sleek and fat, kills him
for his winters supply of meat, is a
prudent man. All of them do it and
they will stand by each other We
like to see the right prevail, asf will
stand by The settler who goes out for
a bit Of fresh meat whenever his
fancy dictates. 1t is cruelty for the
state to pursue them or attempt to
punish them for an offense created
not for the benefit of the brave. who
carry civilization to the front, but to
provide playground for the city
sport who bears no part in the burden
of the hardy pioneer. We believe in
the rights of the settler and will pro-
tect him."

lasta very long time. The cost to
exploring and development compan-
les in this part of the country is
thousands of dollars week for car
bons, and it is this great expense of
exploration which Mr.. Terry proposes
to overcome. The stell ball drills are
being used in the coal country in
Pennsylvania. and have been used to
drill into the rock in the Hudson
river and in the rock foundations of
the islands of Manhattan, where the
hole is being cut for the subway If
the claims of Mr.. Terry are based on
fact, there will be great revolution
in the development of mines in this
country, as the expense Of exploring
has been a drag to many who have
properties which are thought to have
ore on them. The mining men gen.
orally are skeptical of the claims Of
the drill man and want to be shown
by an actual test in a hard piece of
property.

dent of the concern.
Pelican Lake is forty-fve miles
north of Virginia. the starting point
of the road, and just half way to
Koochiching. the ultimate. northern
terminus of the road. 1t is said that
passenger trains will be put on the
new road the coming summer, and
present Indications are that the influx
of new settlers in the territory traW-
ersed by the new road will be heavy.
Seven carloads Of household goods

Killed at Hibbing.

Last Tuesday, Joseph A. Welsh. a
young man who was braking on a
stripping train at the Morris mine
that is being stripped by the Drake
& Stratton company, had the misfor-
tune to slip and was run over by
dinky engine. The unfortunate was
carried along over the rails for some
distance before being discovered. He
was Immediately taken to the Rood
hospital where everything possible
was done for his comfort but he pas
sed away after about three hours Of
suffering. The deceased was gener-
ally respected. He was "a years of
Age, He leaves father, mother, two
brothers and a sister. His brothers,
one living here and one at Ely being
notified they reached this place as
soon as possible. The remains were

The unfortunate young man was
favorably known by many in this city
from Michigan. John Welsh returned
Monday from Ishpeming where he
had attended the funeral.

Largest Month Yet.

The largest month on record in the
Duluth land office was the month of
March. The monthly report will
show that little more than $4,000
has been taken in during March 1902.
This slightly exceeds the record,
which was made last November, when
the receipts were SIT, 682, 48. The
month of March last year was about
one-half those of the month just
closed.
An exceptionally heavy demand for
stone and timber claims is the cause
of the large receipts, over $4,000
having been taken in during the last
week. The wooded land is being rap
idly taken up by settlers and most of
the entries last month were under
the stone and timber act.
