EDITOR GOLD Leaf had not thought
to say anything further and have not,
at any time, busted myself with oppos-
ing the present movement for local dis
pensary. | went to the court house
Monday night simply to hear and not to
be heard, but, unfortunately, | was call
ed out, an action which | am sure was
regretted by the party who did it-since
1t only drew out a reiteration of princi-
pies which | had formerly declared; only
it was more harmful in that it aroused
some feeling and men cannot be at their
best under such circumstances. 1t is hard
in debate to always give the soft answer
that turneth away wrath.

the form OF a petition for an election

OF the error of dealing with such an evil

could only meet the appreciation of God
and of a good conscience

times, who will not await some subtle
process by which public sentiment may

give to any that asked me reason for
the hope that is in me and have Stunned
not to declare my principles, under my

TASKER POLK. ESQ.
A Born Poet Who Stands at the Head
of His Class in North Carolina.

Col. r. B. Creecy, editor of the Eliz-
abeth City Economist, says this OF
our talented young friend, Tasker
Polk, Esq, of the Warrenton bar:
Poets are said to be born not made,
and we have a proof OF the aphorisln
right here in our good old State In the
old town of Warrenton, n. c., there lives
a gentleman with the strong blood OF
the Polk family. of North Carolina. Ten
nessee and Louisiana bounding through
his veins. His name is Tasker Polk, the
son of our old college mate. William.
The Folks are men OF deeds, in the past,
but their intellectually will burst out,
and as this is not a period OF great deeds,
Tasker's intellectually shows itself in
the dreamy inspiration of a poet. He is
true nascitur poeta. We never heard
OF him until a few weeks ago, when an
accident introduced us to one OF his
poems, and be sprung on us like the
Minerva Of classic story from the brain
OF Jove, and we rejoiced in the discovery
and felt like Jacob when he kissed Rebec-
ca. Tasker is a born poet. He stands
at the head of the class in poetry in
North Carolina, in the humble Judgment
of one who is ''plain, blunt man. like
Mark Anthony, and who never wrote a
line of good poetry in his life. But we
mean to reproduce some of the poetry Of
the son of our old school-mate in the
Economist, before the new moon, that
the public may form an opinion OF Tasker
as a poet and of us as a Judge. Poets
are all poor men. That is the only quail
ification we have had for the ''divine"
art. We are glad to think that Tasker
has become a poet without that qualifi-
cation, which Milton and Otway and
Burns and Goldsmith and Poe all had.

The Value OF Publicity.

The Atlanta Journal tells US that
it is perhaps not generally known
that there are eleven firms in the
United States that spend in the ag
gregate IS, 100000 per year on ad
vertising.
These concerns, with the amount
spent by each, are as follows:
The American Tobacco Company,
81, 100000; DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo,
$75O.OOO; c. |. Hood & Co., $780,
900; Peruna Company and Castoria
Company, 100000 each; Force
Food Company and Ivory Soap Com
pany, 100000 each; Lydia Pink
ham, 100000; Scott's Emulsion,
$350,OO0; Royal Baking Powder,
$25O,OOO.
The enormous business done by
these concerns-amounting to COM
bined total OF fully $1OO,OOO,OOO per
annum, depends almost entirely upon
the large and persistent advertising
which has kept their products before
the public. The managers Of all
these concerns will tell you that
should they cease advertisingfor one
year their business would be serious
ly crippled and in all probability
ruined beyond redemption.
TEN THOUSAND CHURCHES
n the United States have used the Longman
& Martinez Pure Paints.
Every church will be given liberal guam
tity whenever they paint.

Interesting Things About Popes.

St. Peter claimed to be the first
pope, or the first bishop of Rome,
was martyred in Rome June 30, in
the year 81. He is said to have
ruled the diocese for twenty-five
years.
st. Linus was the second pope.
Elected IN the year 81. Died in
the year 7s.
The first tifty-six popes were all
canonized.
Boniface ii was the first pope
who was not saint. He was sue
ceeded by John ii.
Pope Gregory the Great was the
slxty-sixth pope. He was elected
in 500 and ruled fourteen years.
The Italian name Of Leo XIII is
Leone, not Leo.
Clement XI was the 25Oth pope
in the regular list. He was selected
in the year 1900. Since then there
have been thirteen pontiffs, all of
them Italian.
The title Supreme pontiff," or
"pontifex maximus," is derived
from the ancient Roman head OF
the committee of bridge builders.
1t is of purely civic origin, adopted
by the popes as being most fitting,
