OF DIFFERENCE OF TASTE

pig fish as in the dehcacy of the art
choke. But as for myself-coram MOI
judicel 1t is only memory Still my
mouth waters at the recollection.
Your reference to the old questions Of
difference between the West and the East
likewise brings up a floating memory
Happily, now all those differences have
faded away! There was time, long
years, when the West had its sore trials
and grievous troubles:
Now: "Ours are the plans of fair and de
delightful peace,
"Unwarped by party rage
ITO live like brothers"
There are no differences between the
sections: while in the convention of 1886
Governor Swain even threatened to pull
down the pillars of the temple: and near
ly twenty years earlier a Western CON
vention was held in Raleigh with the view
to promoting the division of the Old
North State into two Commonwealth.
The East was determined to hold to the
old constitution which protected the ne
gro property from heavy taxation.
think it was in 1917 that Governor Miller,
then a Senator from Warren county, voted
to establish the proposed county of Davie.
In the next campaign he was opposed by
Colonel Hawkins, whose friends, pointing
to, that vote declared that "if the new
county had been established, the West
would have controlled the Legislature
and would call a convention, and could
control the convention, and we would lose
our Constitution" That was the fear
that the east would lose our Constitu-
ton" That vote defeated Miller, and
he never was returned to the Legislature.
Later, however, by the aid of Judge Gas
ton and of Otway Burns, who represent
ed Carteret, the convention bill passed
When the amendments were submitted
to the people for ratification, the East
solidly opposed them, in some counties
not single votes being cast for ratifica-
ton; while at the West, in some counties
not single vote was cast against ratifca-
ton. 1t was a fierce contest between the
sections, and the West triumphed Burns
although a great hero and popular favorite
by his vote destroyed himself and never
afterwards lifted up his head politically.
Still the West, by naming the county
seat of Yancey county after him CRATE
fully perpetuates his memory. There are
other instances too, of Western appre-
citation of the lofty and broad patriotism
of Eastern men, But many of your read
ers would hardly believe how intense and
bitter was the feeling between the Sec
tions. How delightful it is that in our
time all that rancorous animosty has
passed away. The accomplishment of this

desirable end is largely due to the con-
struction of the North Carolina Railroad
and It's daughter the Western North
Carolina Railroad, which has resulted
most happily in unifying the State and
bringing the sections closer together. No
longer are there any Eastern and Western
question; unless it be in generous emula-
ton as to which waters furnish the most
dehclouS repasts to the hungry fisherman
or perhaps, as to whether the sea
breezes OF Morehead are preferable to the
cool ana placid air OF WaynesVille-Or
the relative beauties of the sunsets The
most gorgeous spectacle in nature is Il
summer sunset at sea--While on the other
hand the sunrise at sea is the most eX-
qulsltely beautiful sight / can behold.
The difference between them is due to a
natural cause. The sun in his movement
around the world by his heat causes evap-
grafton, which as he passes on condenses
INTO clouds:-so that at the sunset there
is great bank of clouds to the west
piled on each other like Pelion on Ossa
These lllumined by his departing ra-
dance produce the most gorgeous effects
But when he sinks below the horizon and
the heat of the day is succeeded by the
cool night, the clouds disappear; so that
as the day begins to dawn in the East
there IS almost perfectly clear sky.
Here and there few patches of distant
clouds may be seen that soon become like
crimson hnes-or Indian red-whie the
sky is a most delicate blending of the inner
shades of blue and green:
"Emergent from his Eastern couch. the
Sun
"Pours forth at last his horizontal beams
Between two bands of clouds, above, be-
low,
Rubbed with light, flood of golden
day
"a sight that cannot be described, and
which naught in nature approaches in
exquisite beauty and loveliness. Still the
cloud effects in the mountains have their
peculiar charm. The sunsets are at times
beautiful in their serenity and in the deli
cate hues of the clear and translucent
sky; while often heecy clouds gather on
the sides of a mountain and hang on its
brow in a sheer of glorious brightness as
the light and flowing veil gracefully
adorns the person of bride And, again.
IN the storm heavy clouds lower on the
mountain slopes imparting wild grandeur

To the Editor: Concerning fish:-A
part of the evidence is in, and l am re-
minded of the maxim-de gustibus non est
disputandum. There are many men OF

down in southwestern Georgia, with great
trouble there was caught and prepared
for me dinner of the small, slim channel
catfish, which the Georgians esteem as
the choicest product of their waters. So
when read your admirable story OF the
brainy Grady and of that intellectual
giant. Howell Cobb,-I naturally thought
their standard of excellence In fish was
the little "cat." 1t also occurred to me
that perhaps nature in lavishing on those
distinguished men the highest intellectual
powers, had withheld from them the more
delicate nerves of the palate. Some men,
YOU know, cannot distinguish between the
shades of blue and green. Webster and
the most distinguished citizen we have
ever had in Raleigh concurred that Henry
Clay's Old Bourbon was the best wine in
the world. Col Waddell, who while deny
ing the trout, pleads guilty to blue perch
and the pig fish, will remember little in

us, the colonel and / went further down
the coast to meet the F'ederals. Being
unattached, we strayed from camp and
found our way to Savannah, where Mr..
Richard Bradley had us royalty served at
the club, and we adjourned to Old Col.
Schley's to try his wine. Col Waddell,
having all the gifts of his illustrous faith
er responded in his happiest vein to the
toast-"North Carolina Come to the Aid
of Georgia making handsome reference
to Bee and Bartow-and to old Admiral
Tatnall, who was present but very deaf
from the recent bursting of cannon by
his side on one of his vessels. Col Schley
was entertaining the party with his cham
perth and Tokay of 9S and other rare
wines of ancient date and elegant ban
quet, when the Admiral came up,-not
hearing word that Col. Schley had said

I am somewhat surprised that Yesterday,

but few books suit the popular use so
well as that does. One need not compare
it with Milton-but it is much more cal

stately lines of Paradise Lost and Para

Mrs, S M. Curtis, Senior.

| In Lncolnton. n. c.. in the night of

| life eternal the sweet soul of Mary, widow
of the late Rev. M. A. Curtis, d. D.. Of

Dr. Almond J. DeRossett, Sr., of Will

and well.
woman of tenderest affections. of the
staunchest loyalty, of the most answering
devotion; the law of her long life was
love, and many are the hearts that mourn
the withdrawing of that sweet presence
from the earth. long life is of necessity
a life full of sorrow and suffering. A wild
ow for more than thirty-one years; de-
voted mother, who had lost five of her ten
children, the solitary survivor Of her
fathers large family, and of all of her once
contemporaries; she bore it all-the be-
reavements, the suffering, the loneliness,
the WEAKNESS of old age with exquisite pa
thence, greatness, dignity and submission.
Her unquestiOning acceptance of all the
manifest will of God was a lesson of faith,
courage and exalted piety to all who were
privileged to approach the shyly guarded
inner sanctuary of her beautiful life.
Possessing all of her mental powers and
all of her faculties unimpaired to the very
last as the flame of life burned lower in
the frail alabaster lamp of her earthly tab
ernacle, the clear white light of spiritual
radiance shone through like one of the
lamps of God, and you felt as tho you
should stand in that holy presence with an
uncovered head.
In all things the highest type of Chris
ton womanhood-shy, modest, retiring,
with all the rare and beautiful character
istics of the gentle woman of the lower
Cape Fear, her very presence was an in
spring and refining influence, and we
bless God for having known her, of whom
we can say reverently and with all sin
certify, Well done thou good and faithful
servant! In the land that is very far off
shalt thou shine as a star, as one of His
jewels whose hand hath already wiped
away thy tears. and given thee an inherit

People with good blood possess strong,

appetites and digestion, and enjoy
sound, refreshing sleep. II we could
always maintain the purity of the
blood then we might enjoy perpetual
health, but it becomes infected and
poisoned and most of the ills that af1ict

When the blood is diseased the skin
loses its healthy appearance, and the
complexion, its freshness and beauty
