A South Wind Blows.

One of the days last week was like a firlxle woman. By the calendar it should have been harsh and raw, but the air was sweet and mild, and a friendly disposed tree to whom I confined my wintery woes, rustled his bare boughs soothingly and seemed to whisper. "A breath, and April Comes"
 Now that was a. m. and later it be- came moist then wet, then cold, and the same tree when I silently passed again, shuddered and knew me not.
 Let me see, what could have set me worrying about spring, blue skies, will low banks, and such dimly remembered things? Could 1t have 6een, Oh! I know it was that slip of girl, nineteen, if a day with violets in her eyes. Yes l met her coming down that very morn.

From the Louisville courier-Journal

From the Louisville Courier-Journal @HE man who wrote My Old Ken (CD lucky Home died forty-one
 years ago today. In this period his ballad has gone around the world, carrying It's sentiment and Kentucky's name into all climates. Tn some Euro pean countries it has taken precedence over all other American airs and is es- teemed the one representative American song.
 Kentucklans love this song. But Ken lucky and Kentuckians have done nothing to honor Stephen Collins Eos ter nor to make known their gratitude for his enduring melody. And yet not less than the politician who makes ana sometimes breaks our laws does he de- serve monument. Kentucky owes him that.
 And while Kentuckians should pay him tribute fer My Old Kentucky Home" his memory should be affection ately held by all Americans. for he was the greatest of all American song writers His songs have entered Into the national life. Only a genius could have written "Old Folks at Home" "Old Black Joe." 70 Susannah!' Nelly Was a Lady" Uncle Ned,' Nelly Bly," "Old Dog Tray" willie. We Have Missed You'' and Come Where My Love Lies Dreaming" And these are only the best known of a total list of 125 compositions. They are not elaboratey devised, nor do they offer the scientific musician great opportunity for technical research. They are just simple songs with a flavor of the soil and with sentiment that appeals to the peo- ple They will be sung when the works of more pretentious composers have been forgotten.

New Hiqh School.

q am very sorry that the Board of Education saw fit to accept common red brick as the material for erecting the new Birmingham high school said Ros- COG Mcconnell the real estate man. The people of birmingham are rather disap- pointed inasmuch as it was first given out that three sides of the new building were to be veneered with Indiana lime stone.
 .orhe action of the board was taken. 1t Is said, for economical reasons, in order to get within the original appropriation of sl5O0OO for the site, the building and furnishings. I hope that before the work is started the members or the school board can see their way clear to adopt red pressed brick anyway"

STAR SONG.
Go home. Father Sun, send old Mother

Go home. Father Sun, send old Mother Moon, Along with the baby stars, And we will wait at the little gate Down by the meadow bars. Hurry home, hurry home.
 Happy Father Sun, West of the
 meadow bars,
 And send us soon, old Mother Moon. And all of the baby stars. Now Mother Moon is coming up the east, East of the meadow bars, And twinkling after, with light and laughter, Follow the baby stars.
 Follow your Mother Moon, happy
 little stars, Over the fields above; Come again tomorrow night, bub-
 bling over with delight,
 Little baby stars of love.

The people of Dover are not only
progressive in business and manufac-
turing, but as we'll they are progressive
in education and alert to promote the
educational and religious welfare of
the children and all the people. There
are five good churches here and the
Dover High School is one of the best
educational institutions i'm Eastern
North Carolina. Under the principal
ship of Prof. f. II. Moser it has had an
enrolment of 140 and the commence,
every separate exercise. The character
of the audience would do credit to
Raleigh and the recitations and in
strumental and vocal music showed
the splendid instruction received dur
ing the session just closed. You will
not find anywhere i'm North Carolina
people who are more deeply interest
ed in education than the people OF
Dover. They have built a nice modern
public school building and will enlarge
it during the present year so as to meet
the needs of the growing school popu-
lation. There is no race suicide here,
for there are children in plenty,
bright-eyed and studious who will be
heard from in making our Greater
North Carolina.
On next Tuesday there will be a
vote of the people on a proposition to
levy a local tax for the public school,
leader in the educational cause, made
a brief speech here last night, said that
he did not believe that a single vote
would be cast against the proposition.
That would put Dover at the head of
the column and give it enviable repu-
tation among the best educational
towns of the State. Mr.. S. NJ. Brin-
son, County Superintendent of Schools,
made brilliant address here last night
on the local tax and congratulated the
people on the progress in the past and
the bright outlook here for the cleo
ton next week. He said that the eyes
of the people of the whole county
We're on Dover and if it would vote
the tax by reclamation its progressive
action would be a mighty stimulus to
public education throughout the entire
county and section. Put it down
Dover will vote the tax with unanimi-
ty and go forward in education as
rapidly as ii has taken industrial
strides. j. d.
