To the Editor of The Robesonian

Gratis Of the highest type and are
gentlemen of ability and charac-
ter, but only one can get the
nomination. | wish to ask it
there's any good reason why Mr..
Goodwin should not be nominated
to succeed himself? If there is
your correspondents have failed
to name it.
Mr.. Goodwin has been tried and
has proven himself a faithful
servant of the people and while
the other aspirants to this office
are as good men as there are to
be found anywhere, yet they
have not Mr.. Godwins expert
ence. Hasn't Mr.. Goodwin done
as much for the people of his
district as any man could have
done under similar circum-
! stances? We believe Mr.. God
win is just getting where he can
be of great benefit to us if we
l will allow him to do so. 1t is a
fact that it takes a Congressman
, years of work in that body to
get to the point where he can ex-

: low members.

President Barrett Talks About
Cotton Investigation and Gov
ernment's Sudden Fit of Vir

tue.
Atlanta Dispatch goth.
The present investigation by
the Federal authorities of the So
called bull cotton pool in New
York will materially aid the CAIN
palgn against gambling in farm
products, according to Chas. S.
Barrett, president of the National
Farmers Union.
In referring to the activity of
the department Of justice in the
matter Of the cotton investigation
MIR. Barrett said:
1T is certainly queer that the
government should be entirely
indifferent to gambling in cotton
during the fall selling season un-
til the cotton is in the hands of
the consumer, with manipulators
Strengthening their profits and de-
velop a sudden virtue when prac-
tically all Of the cotton is out of
the hands of the farmers and the
only possible benefciaries appear
to be a few welching bear oper-
ators.
1t is sincerely to be hoped
that next fall, and each success.
sive fall when Intervention will
be of some benefit to the more
than two million cotton producers
of the South. the government
will manifest smattering of the
zeal now so belatedly put forth. ,

John Marshall presided ovor the
court during the greatest epoch Of our
judicial history. The decisions Of the
great tribunal during the thirty-four
years Of his incumbency win be used
as q guide for all time to come The
national bank case, tho Dartmouth

did not exist and maintaining his rights
over his slaves; and that the Missouri

war.

= SONG or RIVERS.


Lights upon the yellow Tiber are too
beautiful to tell.
But the ancient poets praised them.
and dead emper0rs loved them
Dim cathedral lights at evening flash
from al the hills OF Rome.
He's a stately river, Tiber. There's q
better stream at home.
Fierce by vineyards and by castles. in
fury flows the Rhine.
And he sets the blood a-pulsing like
draft Of gallant wine.
Loud his roar through quiet cities, IN
rage he seeks the sea.
And the peasants mourn his plumber.
There's n finer stream for me.
stnl the Douro makes a music that It
made for MOOrs In Spain.
OF the wind IN highland valleys. and
the wrath OF winter rain;
Music ut for knights in armor. when
the valiant trumpets call.
But yearn TO hear the murmur OF an
English waterfall.
There's a torrent in Albania. where
the faint red Earnets glow
Through the flood OF waters. like the
ghosts OF blood shed long ago.
Women wall by those sac waters for
the sorrows that are there.
And the oak trees mourn. forever over
dropping maidenhair.
On the moonlit Seine IS silver. and 1
know not what she sings.
But her song Is surely haunted by the
sweep OF white swans wings.
Like a sword she cleavos the night.
and carries memories to the sea,
Frosted gowns, and mobiles counting,
and great kings reveiry.
There are streams that are not waters.
The Italian fishers know
How the dolphins thread with silver
tracks tho wistful aftcrglow;
Glades that cut a tangled forest; tides
that sever seas asleep;
oh. it's loved they are by cavaliers and
the sailors OF the deep.
There's a pathway to the sunset shines
across the sea I love,
There's the milky way Of heaven that
the angels ford above,
There's a pageant on the wheat field
when the shadows flung aside
Morning lights a lane OF peoples In a
narrow scarlet tide.
BY old sluices, weirs and channels. and
deserted torrent ways;
BY professions and their Incense, like
scented summer haze;
BY the lovely lakes OF lilies, where the
fairy woodlands are:
BY the light that rends the heavens at
the falling of a star;
BY the Bosporus and Jordan, by all
Pagan streams and Frank:
By the dOgrose and the myrtle. and the
wild flowers on their bank:
BY the spring song OF the rivers when
their life is treasured snow.
BY the waterfalls of ali the world
my streams the best 1 know.
You shall one day see my river where
the pines and willows meet.
Find a shallow filled With sunlight.
let Il sparkle round your feet.
When I watch your face reflected IN
I shall call my river still more dear,
New York sun.
