love this sun-fled world. To-day
How fair its lofty mountains rise;
Their heads are pillowed on the skies,
And only there doth winter stay.
The summer walks our valleys fair,
And blossoms wake to bloom and Smile,
Bird songs our list ming ears besuile,
And beauty waketh everywhere.
How calm the air, how full of light,
And fragrance fills the atmosphere,
The gold-winged butterfly comes near.
And at our feet the lilies white.
The fields of living green are here,
And soon will come the peoples glow,
And fragrant orange bloom OF snow
Through all our valleys will appear.
Growth walks through all our shining
ways;
No shadow of decay doth fall,
And springing life is over, all
Our long, bright year of summer DAYS.
1t is not strange the untaught soul
OF simple savage worshipped here
The sun-god, throned in atmosphere
Of cloudless light throughout the whole.
Long months OF ever-shining days.
And months of bloom, fair months of
light,
The glorious sunshine ever bright,
AS if June walked along her ways.
Sandaed with flow'rs and robed so fair,
Breathing the fragrance full and sweet,
Rising like incense round her feet.
From rose paved pathways everywhere.
oh. here should spring great men and true;
Such God-like men as men wait for
To do and dare for God and law
Men who will make the old world new.
Men who will dare to scourge the wrong,
To battle bravely for the right,
To keep the ultimate in sight,
The ultimate for watch we long.
Great land of sun. shine on, shine on,
And as the future drawcth near,
Men the world needs shall here appear,
Great glowing land, march on, march on.

GUN BURSTS ON IOWA
Thee Men are Killed and Five
injured by the tx
plosion.

Pensacola, Fla, April "a disastrous
explosion occurred on the battleship Iowa
today while the vessel was at target
practice in the gulf.
The forward port pinch gun burst
from the premature explosion of a shell
twelve feet outside, the turret being de-
molished. Three men We're killed and five
injured, two seriously:
The killed are:
FIRST CLASS SEAMAN KIELE.
ORDINARY SEAMAN PURCELL.
GUNNER'S MATE BERRY.
The injured are: First-class Seaman
Caught, Ordinary Seaman Thursdale,
Brown Mansdale and =. f. Rucker.
The men killed and injured were on
the second gun deck and were at mess.
Three pieces of the exploded gun, each
Weighing over a ton, passed downward
through the spar deck, falling upon the
men at mess, instantly killing the three
named. All of the men We're horribly
mutilated. The heavy missiles having
passed through the gun deck continued
down to the third deck, where they came
in contact with the armored deck, the
steel bringing them to stop, thus say
ing the engineers and firemen, who were
at work below. Although the upper
decks were crowded with men. no one
there was seriously injured
The explosion occurred just as the mess
call had been sounded Firing was to
have ceased after the shot for the dinner
hour. The range had been set and the
Iowa was steaming along at speed of
twelve knots an hour when Lieutenant
Reed, in charge of the forward 12-inch
turret, gave order to load and fire. The
time fuse was cut for the range, the piece
charged, breech closed and the word
given to fire. Following the report of the
gun there was a smothered report as the
she'll exploded midway in the gun and the
pieces of the bursted gun and she'll were
scattered broadcast. Three great holes
were torn through the deck
Those who were below began coming
up on deck some bloody and mutilated,
while lying on the floor almost crushed
beyond recognition were the three unfor-
tunate men. The Massachusetts, six
miles distant was signalled for aid and
one of the cutters put off with the surgeon
and assistant. The wounded men were
taken to the hospital and their injuries
dressed. The dead were brought to Pen
sacola.
Some claim the explosion was caused
by a defective shell, and others think
that the frequent firing of the pieces at
Culebra during the winter added with
the work done here within the past ten
days so strained the piece that the force
of the charge bursted the gun.

admitted frankly that the shooting was
prompted by jealousy. She said she had
been deserted by her husband in Texas

with Mix, whom she had known for years,
was renewed. Mix was a farmer.
Mrs Williams, in a statement to the
prosecutor, admitted that she had pur-
chased the revolver with which she shot
Mix, month ago, and that she had
planned the shooting deliberately. She
was cool and collected when arrested,
but later in her cell became hysterical
and expressed sorrow for her deed. the
woman says her husband is James Will

A SHOCK TO JUDGE BOYD.
Hodjins Indicted for Permitting Violation OF
Revenue Law Found Not Guilty.
Especial to News and Observer

Especial to News and Observer
Greensboro, n. c., April 7.-One of the
most important eases tried at this term
of the Federal Court was concluded yes
terday evening. George Nj. Hodgin, a
store-keeper and guager at dlstillery
in this county, %as indicted for permit
ting a distiller to violate the revenue
law. Hodgln is an active Republican
politician and man of good standing, and
the extreme vigor of the prosecution
against him was generally commented on.
The trial lasted for two days, he being
very ably defended by Messrs. Bynum
Long and Bradshaw.
The jury brought in a verdict of not
guilty, which evidently very much
shocked Judge Boyd. Hodgin attained
prominence two years ago by organizing
a society for the promotion of honest ad-
ministration of the revenue law by store
keepers and guagers, and the verdict of
not guilty is taken as a vindication.
Another verdict of not guilty was re-
turned in the case of another store-keep-
er and guager, S. w. Swain, of Randolph
county He was charged with shooting
a revenue officer. Swain admitted the
shooting but eontended that he thought
he was shooting at a dog, when it hap
pened to be a stump. behind which two
revenue officers were watching. The
dog stump was rotten and the ball going
through it slightly wounded a concealed
officer.
A prominent Republican here yesterday
declared it was an outrage to be prose-
cutting so vigorously Republican workers
and storekeepers and put them in the
penitentiary just on the eve of all of them
losing their jobs through the adjustment
of country distilleries by the Watts law

FOR PRACTICING MEDICINE.
Arrest Of A. c. Biggs Who Practicsd Massage
and Physical Culture Treatment

Especial to News and Observer
Greensboro, n. c., April 9.--What will
eventually prove to be a case Of far
reaching Importance and interest to the
medical profession, was begun before
Mayor Osborn, as justice of the peace,
here yesterday.
DR.. Battle, member of the State
Board of Medical examiners, had war
rants executed on A. c. Biggs for prac
ticing as physician, without having OBJ
tanned certificate after examination be-
fore the Board of Examiners.
Biggs came here two weeks ago. and
advertised as a non medical physician,
using massage and physical culture treat
ment exclusively. He had reat many
patients and at the trial yesterday, the
prosecution introduced two of them to
establish the fact that he was giving
treatment for fee. The prosecution, rep
resented by Messrs. King and Kimball,
claims that under the amended act of the
last Legislature, any one, except Chris
tian Scientists, who uses anu method
whatsoever for the treatment of disease
if a fee is charged must first undergo
an examination before the Medical Board
and register the certificate before the
clerk of the court. The act declares all
such to be practitioners of medicine and
surgery, whether medicine or surgical in
struments one used or not. Major Charles
M. Stednan, representing Biggs, takes
the position that the anenlment is UNI
constitutional, and while -lggs was bound
over to the Superior court, he VIII con-
tinue his practice, and if the case goes
go to the Supreme court, he will continue
his practice.
If the case is decided against Biggs, it
will mean the complete destruction of
which all species Of message, oesteopathic
or non-drug treatments, except by Chris
tian Scientists, in the State. 1t is said
that there are at least 100 practi-
TONERS in the State, who will either have
to leave or give their treatment free of
charge.

Hill, of the Northern Securities Com
pany, went to his New York office with
w P. Cough, general counsel and secre-
tary president of the company. Pres
ident Hill made this statement:
"All / can say at this time is that the
roads of the Northern Securities Com
pany are showing good earnings, the
properties are paid for and they cannot
be taken away. The decision as 1 under

of the properties"
Ex-Judge William H. Moore, who is
one of the dominant factors in the Rock
Island Company. is quoted as saying:
THE decision in the Northern Securi-
ties case will in no way affect the Rock

ing lines and the two cases are in no
sense analogous"
