My prayers say and lay me down:
The lights of Starland CLEAN afar,
My trundle bed is Sleepy Town,
My window is the harbor bar.
Beyond the curtained patch of blue
There lies fair and wondrous sea;
My dream ship feels the flowing tide,
l hear my sailors calling me.
A shallop skins across the blue,
And Jackies touch their hats, polite,
Come, get aboard, dear captain, do.
The bells are sounding candle light"
The lullaby my mother croons
Grows fainter and still fainter grows
The bos'n pipes his merry tunes
And dances on his timber toes.
Heigh-ho! merry crew, ween, 81.
For some are wood, and some are
dough,
And some before in books I've seen,
And some are dolls used to know.
Now. where away, oh, captain, where7

cases out of ten, the latter are thu

the vegetables they buy have been
graded by the wholesaler so that they
are presented to the consumer In an
attractive form. The man who raises
vegetables, on the other hand, hates
to see anything he cannot sell, and he
tries to get rid of Gull stun by hiding
1t among the better vegetables. As q
result he soon loses his trade. A lady
housekeeper in town recently remark.

farmers because she found their prod

This Is certainly sad state of at.

deliver first class stun than the man
who raises it. And who is better able
to know what first class stun Is than
the farmer? There is not a man in.

family. Mr. Brinkley was about so
years old.
There is only one member of the

ian Springs.
Mr.. Brinkley was gallant Confed-

He leaves a wife. two daughters and

WANTED: MORE FOLKS.

The Raleigh chapter of the Junior
Order has passed vigorous resolutions,
printed elsewhere. against the estab-
lishment of an immigration bureau.
Opposition is based upon hostility TO
an undesirable class of immigrants.
The whole State is with them in wish
ing to give no welcome to any immi-
grants who will not become good citi-
zens. but the Council is mistaken
when it says 1--WE believe that there
is enough American labor in North
Carolina to meet all demands existing
or which may hereafter exist"
There is in fact much need now of
labor in North Carolina. Much land is
lying idle because of the scarcity of
labor. We need folks with money,
muscle. brains TO help develop our re-
sources, cultivate our fields, and to
grow larger crops. One of the chief
complaints among farmers during the
past year has been the scarcity of Ia
Dor.
To show the benefit of immigration
we need only refer to the recent his
tory of Columbus county. 1t has de-
veloped more rapidly inAthe past ten
years than any county in its section,
and it's development has been largely
due to the introduction of thrifty inn
migrants from the North who, work
ing with the progressive people of
Columbus county. have made the
a n
before agriculture was diversified and
trucking took the place of the one crop
system.
This State needs immgrants-not
those who would not become real
Americans, but the sort who assimi-
late with our people and help to de-
veiop every interest of the State. No
immigration agent would go after MI
hilists or anarchists. but after the sort
of German, Englishmen, Scotchmen
and Irishmen who peopled the State in
its early history. They are now d
homogeneous people-North Carolin-
JAMS. That is true of Northern people
and foreigners who have come into the
State in recent years. They are among
our very best citizens.
Let us do all we can to encourage
immigration into North Carolina. The
man who will take note of the land
not cultivated in North Carolina will
not say there is enough American la
Dor in North Carolina to meet all de-
mands existing, or which may here
sfter exist" We have room and to
spare for a population twice as large
as is now supported, but We have no
room for any people who will be alien
to American ideals and aspirations.
