Taft and the South.
Charlotte Chronicle.

JDdflOJte l. nfOnlcle.
President Taft has removed anoth-
er "nigger." Henry A. Rucker, col
ored, who has been holding the office
of collector of internal revenue for
the North Georgia district, has been
requested to step aside, and Henry
S. Jackson a white man has been ap-
pointed to the position. Thus has
the Charleston policy been repeated.
President Taft seems to know what
is good for the Republican party in
the South and his policy of relieving
the South of negro office-holders and
appointing negroes to places oftrust
in the North, suits this section exact
Iy. The Baltimore Sun is disposed
to give President Taft credit for hon.
esty of purpose. The President, it
says, sis too good politician To de-
lude himself with the expectation of
breaking the solid South at this time.
His treatment of the Southern
States in the matter of the appoint
ments and other ways proceeds, we
believe, from a sense OF justice and
from natural good feeling. That
treatment has been better in Mr.
Taft's administration than in any
other since the civil war, with the
single exception OF Mr.. CIeyeland's." F"
That is true, and for that reason
The Chronicle has been always pretty
much of Taft admirer. 1t has
never found any reason to waver in
it's faith in the sincerity OF President
Taft's friendly attitude toward the
South and its people.

WAS VERY OLD MAN.
Turner Browning, of Durham County,
Dies at the Remarkable Age of II5
Years-Authentic Records Showing
Him to Have Been Born in 1905.
Durham Herald, 18th.

Durham Herald, 18th.
Turner Browning, aged 115, ac-
cording to most authentic records,
died yesterday morning on the Rigs
bee road, five miles from the city.
The family history shows him to
have been born in 1895, and he had
a very intelligent recollection OF the
war of 1912 His family consisted
OF three sons, Henry, John and
Moses Browning, all old men now.
His eldest son was killed in the civil
war. being at that time a man up
wards OF thirty. Though almost un-
believably old, there seems to be
nothing that argues against his 115
years.
He was until the morning in good
health. He was up and astir about
the house and later appeared to be-
come sick. Owing to his enfeebled
condition from extreme age he was
unable to resist the attack, and died
in short time.

In the last issue of the North Caro-
lima Review Mr.. Clarence Poe has a
fine tribute to John Charles McNeill,
the gentle poet, whose untimely death
cut short literary career that was
fast bringing him nationwide fame.
We of North Carolina are not the
most appreciative people in the
world. We are especially prone to for
get the man whose pre-eminence de-
pends upon his literary genius and
the lesson Mr.. Poe reads us is a good
one.
''The next time you wish to give a
book as a present." says Mr.. Poe, in
stead of buying the latest popular
novel, buy copy of 'McNeill's Songs,
Merry and Sad He would be reck-
oned a very disloyal Scotchman who
did not know and honor Burns;
cannot help thinking that is equally
discreditable for a North Carolinian
not to know the poetry of John
Charles McNeill-McNeill, who knew
the common things of our North Car
oiAlit IdIIIS anu uclIS dlu IOE6SIS,
and sang about them; he whose SEN
sitive nature could divine the tender
est feelings of The Little White
Bride; could laugh with barefoot
boys on Lumber river; could tongue
loves sweetest dreams in such poems
as 'Oh, Ask Me Not; could look
straight to God in Christmas and
Easter hymns; could feel the tragic
barrenness in the life of The Drudge
whose heart beat with pity even fol
the outcast woman; who knew sc
we'll the heart of nature that the
mood OF every season found magica
expression in his fancy; and who also
felt, as we felt at his own passing
the hopeless mystery of untimely
death, and expressed it in words o
matchless beauty in his tribute tC
Melvin Garner"
The Review publishes a number o
McNeill's matchless poems. To ouI
mind those selected by Mr.. Poe ar,
not McNeill's best, but they are suf
ficient to mark him as literary
genius of high order.
You owe it to yourselves and tC
your children to know the poetry o
John Charles McNeill and we would

Nye Memorial House.

1t was a fine idea originated by
the North Carolina Press Association
at it's meeting at Wrightsville Beach,
to erect a monument to the memory
OF Bill Nye. 1t was a finer idea on
the part OF the committee, at It's
meeting in Salisbury, that this mem
orial to the great humorist should
take the shape of building at the
Stonewall Sackson Training School
at Concord. In this age a utility
memorial has become to be consid-
cred better than a cold and silent
shaft. Bill Nye, himself, would have
applauded the decision of the COM
mittee. The proposed memorial will
not only do honor to his name but
will be the means of elevating the
fut ure citizenship OF the State. 1t is
an instance OF practical altruism.

WEBB BYERs FOR SENATOR.

First and foremost among the young
men capable of filing the place left
vacant by the death of Senator Dolliver,
is Attorney General Ii. W. Byers. Gen
eral Byers comes nearer the Dolliver
type than any other man named in
connection with the succession Gen,
eral Byers is fluent and graceful
tallSer, II student of affairs and poll
tician of keen discernment and good
judgment. Another characteristic of
General Byers that is suggestive of
Senator Dolliver is that he Is u good
mixer, II man who is at home in any
company. General Byers is, too, a
comparatively young man being about
fifty years of age, the age when men
should be at their best both mentally
and physically, and this General Byers
is. Another matter of interest from
a political standpoint is that General
Byers is i'm harmony with Senator

A Beautiful Life Story.

A beautiful story comes from Storm
Lake, S. u. Eadi and his wife died ON
the same day of natural causes. They
had been married in May, 1915, and they
had honestly and faithfully shared what
ever of joy or trouble or grief life
brought to them, and when they ar
rived ut the end of their journey they
passed out hand in hand. They were
buried together at the same hour.
There was another one of the cases
which the people seem to have over
looked, who are forever clamoring
about the divorce evil There are as
many happy marriages in the world
~ ever before. In fact, there are
more, for the unhappy unions are dis
solved now in greater number than
ever before. But one aged couple
who dwell together in peace and happi.
ness and who have not permitted love
and honor and respect for each other
to perish with the years, is worthy
many columns of divorce lamentations,
The people who are alarmed over the
divorce court are so peculiarly consti-
tuted that they cannot behold the ninety
seven fairly well mated, quiet, peace
full and apparently contented and
happy couples, because of the three
other couples who are airing their
differences and their troubles in the
divorce court.-Cedar Falls Record.
