STATE HAS So, 100000.

Construction Company Payments.

But This Is Not Large Sum in Face "f
Construction Company Payments.
State Treasurer Dahl reported over
100000 is in the treasury. He will
not receive any more until August, when
the railroads will pay a portion Of their
tax The railroads are still paying fees
under the OLD license system, part in the
spring and part in the fall. In addition
they also pay what the ad valorem tax
amounts to above this. The 100000
must meet the State appropriations until
August. 1.-TWO million dollars sounds
like big sum, but we have lots of big
demands Also said Mr.. Dahl. "a $780,
600 item is but a small affair. We are
building new capitol and doing lot of
other things and every little while a check
for few thousand dollars goes out to
some construction company"

STUDENTS JUMP INTO LAKE.

Freshman Crew Fused in SqualI
Leap to Save She'll.
Wisconsin's crew took it's first bath of
the season in Lake Mendoza the other
afternoon. Coach Ten Eyck took his cubs
out for a spin in the shells. As the
freshmen squad was heading from Picnic
Point to the boa. house, a squal sudden
ly arose. The men pulled for the dock,
but finding it impossible to land the
coxswain ordered rowers to back water.
The order came too late. The novices
became confused and to save the shell
from being pounded against the dock or
run on shore, the men were forced to
jump into the icy waters of the lake.
None of the men is any the worse for
the accident

THE TASKMAsTER.
By Mildred /. MCNeal.

BY Mildred 1. MtNeal.
An lay do We
Women and anxious men
Sit at the mercy of the tireless loom.
Threads bright as sun on sea
And gray as rain
Slip from the restless skein
Into a pattern that we do not see.
Our narrow room
Echoes to flashing shuttle and whirl-
ing wheel.
The deafened soul has little leave to
feel
How sair the fair world is
With sun and bloom.
TIE taskmaster
Sits watchfully alone.
Bear this: and the pale dame puts
smile on cheek
To hide the grief in her:
Do this: and soon
The rough drudge fronts the noon:
And this and men plod on with no
1emur
They who are weak
Fit strength to task and labor as they
may,
Having no other choice than to obey
The will that is so stern
And far to seek.
Yet even this
The utmost pain, the cry,
The stress-does often flower into
some pure
Rare thing that he would miss
Who travelled by
Idly and happily
Hearts will fulfil themselves and find
their bliss.
And We endure
IN soul and mind and body the strait
toll
And wear the loom dust and the stain
of the soil
With a strong faith that grows
Daily more sure.

Friends Of the Old Soldiers.
Communicated.

olcd-
Some will probably say the Reunion in
Richmond was big thing. The writer
says the biggest and most Southern like
deeds were witnessed at the Henderson
depot where pure Southern lady pinned
badges on each old soldier as he would
enter the room. The lady, in a most
dignifed Southern way, would rise from
her seat as an old Veteran entered the
room and pin the badge on him with a
Southern-like look on her face as good
as to say, I'm in sympathy with you.
Old Veteran. and did all | could for the
Lost Cause MAY the good Lord bless
and protect this noble LADY, The gen
tleman, Mr.. Owen Davis, who with cigar
box, sprigs of pine and pins in hand
showed he had a noble feeling for the
old soldiers. Mr.. Davis ought to be re-
membered and have words of praise and
a warm feeling in the heart of every old
Veteran that shouldered a gun for the
fallen Confederacy God bless Mr.. Davis.
But this is not all. Judge A. W. Gra-
ham, Commander of the Granville Coun-
ty Camp of Confederate Veterans, ought
not to be forgotten. He showed his
hand in the right way and stood by his
men and every old soldier ought to ap
preciate his efforts. Judge Graham
showed he was a noble man and one
that never fiinched from duty that
came before him.
The writer is back woodsman, but
one that pleads for justice; and as l see
and feel it every old soldier in the Fifth
district ought to come to the front and
make Hon a. W. Graham next Congress
man. So appeal to every old soldier to
put his shoulder to the wheel and put in
such ticks as will tell at the next contest.
Old soldiers, put your boys and your
friends to work for Judge Graham make
him your next Congressman and you
will have the right man in the right
place. say this because Judge Graham
is fully entitled to the highest gift at the
hands of the voters of North Carolina.
