FLAMES NEAR ZION
Totally Destroy The Fine Residenee OF
Ross r. Smith

Fire Of unknown origin totally de-
stroyed the handsome residence OF
Ross r. Smith, near Zion, on Tues
day morning between II and II
o'clock The family had just finished
dinner, with the exception Of Mr..
Smith, who was away from home at
che time. and were upstairs with Mrs.
Smith, who was quite i'll Mrs. dc
Figaniere, sister Of Mrs. Smiths
had gone into the bathroom and find
ing it full Of smoke, called her neph-
ew, jerks Smith, to come Sc what the
trouble was. AT the same time the
colored boy who was preparing to 60
out to the field, discovered the whole
rear end Of the house to be afire. An
alarm was sounded by the ringing Of
OF the dinner bell, but it being just at
the dinner hour, the neighbors qaid
no attention for some time. and by
then the fire, which was fannd by a
strong wind, that blew the flames dis
rectly over the other part of the
house, had gained such headway that
nothing could be done to save the
dwelling. Mrs. Smith was first taken
to a place of safety and the men did
what was in their power to save the
household effects. Nearly all the old
family siver and china, furniture, etc.,
which were very valuable, were saved
and most OF the domestic furniture.
The house and contents were partially
insured, to the amount OF $I5oo, in

The washington Post quotes tho con-
ciuson of the novellst's article, which
we reproduce for comparison with
Kipllng's lines:
'"rho king has passed to his place.

riors, leaders and princes. with CLINT
Of gold and flash of steel, the greatest
muster upon earth; all arc gone and
remain but n memory. Tho people
rush forth from their closed ranks,
and the hushed hum of London rises
once more"
There Is more sense and sentiment,
more force and more imagination In
these few rapidly-sketched lines than
In all Kipllng wrote. and there lis more
poetry to this prose than to all the
dramas. elegies, odes and occasional
poems that Austin ever put on paper.
If this be q fair test of the merits
of the three mon. 1t would BIO a rare
stroke OF policy II tho new King

BARRING THE BORROWER.

Queen Mary OF England, who is to
be the social arblter of-tho Empire as
soon as mourning weeds are put aside,
Is already telling her satellites what
she proposes to do In the way OF re-
form The court is to be moro ex-
elusive; undesirable Americans, whose
wealth Is their only recommendation,
are not to be given tho entree to the
throne; tho old customs are to be
revived, and England Is to return to
tho days Of the carly Georges. SO far
as court severity Is concerned. Last
and most important Of all, tho court
borrowers arc to be barred from the
royal circle and are not to be- re-
ceived in polite society.
The court borrower. 1t develops. was
somewhat OF a nuisance during the
gay days Of King Edward. Generally
the borrower was noblewoman,
blcssed-or cursed-with moro embi-
tion than means. and anxious to ap-
pear to the best advantage in the best
society. What she could not purchase,
she borrowed, and what sho could not
enjoy Of her own right, she secured
OF her neighbors. She would frequent
ly borrow castle for weeks festi-
vities, or ballroom for a great as
sembly, or a cottage for vacation,
and sometimes genial dowasers found
themselves lending their very clothes.
In one memorable case. the court gos-
sips toll US. court hanBer-on bor-
rowed q ballroom and q house for tho
debut OF her daughter and ooolly had
tho bills for tho entertainment made
out to the good soul who owned the
house. oueen Mary says this shall
no longer be allowed. Women must
1.-Two within their means, she says. and
must never pretend to what they do
not have.
OF course. the Queen-God save her
afford to talk in this
way, as she will always have all she
wants In the way OF bathrooms, enter
tainments and tho like. but she has at
least set good example for her sub
jects. The borrowing Is bad enough.
but the spirit of extravaganza which
prompts 1t is still worse. Tho borrow
er may be every bit as great a null
sance as tho Queen suggests, but the
precedent she sets Is much worse. I'll
may be noted, In passing. that Ameri-
ca is not altogether free from this
evil. and that even IN Richmond, the
Gate to Paradise. there are some who
live beyond their naeans-and borrow
too.

There VIII be a conference at Wash
ington tomorrow between the Presiden,
and number of railroad presidents
who have been much disturbed by the
action OF the Government In enjoining
the increased freight rates recently
determined upon by the Western trunk
lines. This looks very much like lock-
ing the stable after the hores has been
stolen. We suppose that the injunction
proceedings could be discontinued on
the motion OF tho Government, but IL
it Is to be so soon done for, what was
1t begun for? The railroad presidents
will doubtless be able to show that the
increased rates are wholly justified by
conditions, and conditions not of their
making; but why should the President
want TO talk 1t over with them now OF
be willing to talk It over7 The pro-
posed talk ought to have been had, II
there be any virtue in what the rail-
road men will say 10 the President
and we are confident that there Is,
before wlckersharn went into court.
Two or three days Of paniclSy con-
ditions have probably convinced the
authorities at Washington that the
present proceedings were not entered
into advised1y. disceetly and IN the
fear of God. Tho faculty of hind
sight is well enough when one is run
ming away from q thing. but foresight
Is a grace that is to be cultivated when
one is running into a thing. It would
seem to nonresident, so to say, that
the pleas Of the railroad presidents
should now be made to the Courts, and
not to the Executive. Some time or
other they will be compelled to seek re-
lief from the courts, and instead of
holding conferences after the fact they
should be getting their case ready for
a thorough hearing. If they cannot
get square deal in the courts they can
at least calculate how long they will
be able TO stay in business after the
courts have laid down the law. If we
were in tho place of the railroad men,
we should let the President and Wick
ersham gang their own gait, and make
defense only where it would count, al
least, until the reconstruction of the
courts has been accomplished.

DOYLE AS A PROSE POET.

The poetry written on the passing
OF King Edward has caused almost as
much discussion as the Kings illness,
death, policies and funeral combined
Poets from every corner OF tho earth
have been hurrying to the press with
their tributes. and have been causing
much anxiety among patriotic but
careful British editors who wish to
shew their respect for their late King
without Mnduly loading their columns
with such rubbish.
The poems which have attracted
the most attention are those written
by Austin and Ilipllns. Tho former
was at once declared hopeless and
the latter has not shown that 1t de-
served a better place? In fact ii the
one showed that Austin should not be
Poet Laureate, the other showed that
kipling should not be his successor.
We shall not burden our readers with
quoting more OF the stuff Austin
called poetry, and can give the spirit
OF Kiplng's eruslon in fow lines.
Speaking of the Kings work, Kipling
said:
To confront or confirm or make
smooth some dread issue of power
TO deliver true Judgment Alright at the
instant unaided.
In the strict level ultimate phrase that
allowed or dissuaded,
To foresce, to allay, to avert from US
perlls unnumbcred;
TO stand guard on our gates, when he
guessed that our watchmen had
slumbcrcd;
To win time, TO turn hate, to woe
folly to service and schooling,
His strength, to the use of his nations,
to rule as not ruling:
These were the works of our King"
If; there are not thousand high
school students, In this country, and
a half-hundred peerless poets ofNorth
Carolina who can equal these ponder
Gus but stupid lines we have greatly
underestimateG their work and their
intelligence, This poem lacks every
thing that a real poem should have,
and II It is the best thSt England can
produce in verse. that country may
well 1bewall what Whitelaw Reid
called darkness after day in poetry.
As matter OF fact, the death OF the
King has as yet brought forth but one
real literary work. This was the de-
seription Of the funeral written the
day 1t occurred by Sir A. conan Doyle
ana M1eoly circulated in this country,
