A VOICE FROM NORTH CAROLINA

A l.. Fairbrother, whiting in Every thing the well known North Carolina Monthly Magazine, under the caption "The New south's Lifetime opportun- ity,' says:
 The first time the south has had an opportunity since the days before sixty one of nominating a southern man for the presidency-za democratic candidate, and the minute the opportunity comes you hear crowd of the wise men say ing it will not do this time to nominate oscar Underwood.
 Some say he is too young-and he is 50 years of age-as old within two years, as Bryan-and Bryan ran three times te- fore he was as old as Underwood and the men who are talking about Under woods age were all rampant Bryan men, Consistency, with gilded front, still perches in the dark places.
 Others, the wise men, say he has not been long enough before the people.
 He has been for some fourteen or six teen years in Congress; was conspicuous enough and able enough and well known enough to be chosen as the leader of the uenlocidtic eohSi anu Diyah ilau been but one term in Congress when he was made the standard bearer of de- mocracy
 It has been said that he Is not pro- gressve enough.
 He is progressive enough and enough captain of himself to tell MT. Bryan or MT. Anybody else to keep off the tariff grass: he is progressive enough to. stand squarely on the democratic platform of the last vintage; he is progressive enough
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-04-10

to get through and put up to a republi- can President tariff legislation that was vetoed.
 He is progressive enough ito know that the Wild ideas of referendum and recall and all that purple foam of grandstand oratory is rot statesmanship, and that 1t is clap-trap pure and simple.
 Of all the men mentioned by democracy Underwood and Harmon are the only two men who have a chance to win. The nation has three times discredited Bryan and his wild progressive ideas-set him aside and stood him on end. Harmon is progressive and yet conservative enough to cause many people to say he cannot win--but Underwood is more progressive than Harmon; he is closer to the people, and he has a record for honesty and capahility that cannot be successfully as sailed.
 If Oscar Underwood was a creature of the hour; if he had suddenly come into prominence by a bit of consummate act ing or the use of a magnetic phrase, then his critics might have some place on which to stand. But he has developed in public life: he has been in Congress long enough to be understood and to under stand. He is the right age-1ust 50 years. to make President, who would reflect credit and honor upon the nation
 But-the south doesn'u want anything like that The south understands that were it to get collectively on the Under wood band wagon d,ere might be no pie if the other fellow wins. So the south takes 8 look at the bookmakers and the politicians bet their money on thei. juogment-for pie They do not care the price of a one color postcard anything about what it would mean to the south in the matter of commercial expansion they do not care to test the matter of sectional bitterness-they shut their eyes

She Is most en- thusiastic over plans for the ball and expects a generous patronage She stated yesterday that this phase of the kirmess-the final numoer in the series of entertainments--can but exert an especial appeal to Che charitably in- clined since it's entire proceeds will be clear Tn the other instances per centage of the profits will be gained by the producers of the Kirmess, whose effects, by the way are highly com mended by those who are giving the charity functions.
 The parade last night in which the par ticipants in the Kirmess drove through the city in automobiles revealed the im- mensity of the entertainment and the beauty of the costumes, also. for they appeared in character dress These gar ments are the property of the kirmess managers and are very handsome.

There's nothing so lovely as a lovely woman among lovely flowers.
 You rather associate people with various flowers; the dainty woman reminds you of White Hyacinths; the retiring woman of the modest Violet; the dashing woman of flaming TIybiscus and the gorgeous and crimson Dahliai and the stately, beautiful woman of the American Beauty. and of the latter class. Mrs. W. G. Estes is radiant type.
 Someone has declared that the Ameri- can Beauty Is not a Rose after all, but a woman, which is most plausible as wei as a most unique idea. and with her statuesque height. her beautiful col bring, and her regal bearing, Mrs. Estes might easily be selected by the artist as the prototype of the real American Beauty"
 In my own mind l have always associ- ated this gracious lovely woman with this most aristocratic and beautiful of all fowers-and to me she seems to be- long in a setting of gorgeous colorings- and where can these be found half so lovely than in the flower Garden?
 When asked Mrs Estes to tell me something of her pretty country place, Folly Farm, up at Dunavant and how she converted lonely acreage into a most enchanting garden of flowers. sine laughingly declared that her friends scarcely thought of her when she was in town as the lover of flowers that she really is-because her activities in that direction had for the last few years Cat leasD, been confined entirely to her coun- try place--and that she had made so lit- tie effort in that respect when in town.
 But, as d matter Of fact, when you removed to your home in the country, and saw that vast wilderness of uncul- tivated ground how did you go about converting it into the lovely garden that it afterwards became?' l asked
 .'Accepting the theory of all articles on horticulture which l had read, the No- vember preceding the spring in which I became my flower gardener I had the soil thoroughly pulverized to a depth of from IS inches to two feet. This 1 did in order to store up enough moisture for our long and oftentimes dry summers, D said Mrs. Estes. While I was at my old home over in Georgia the ensuing February in some way the report became current that l was beginning a flower garden at Folly Farm Friends vied with each other in giving me plants. I accumulated number of bulbs, something oyer 1900, I think 1t was-daffodils, hya- cinths.. rises, narcissi. gladiola and lilies one friend gave me enough old fashioned white pnks 10 border three large beds | The same friend gave me several white | oleanders. She has one growing on the south side Of her house which reaches as high as the second story windows. An other friend gave me quantities of Vir- ginia creeper, sweet vioiets and hollihocbs and still another gaze chrysanthemums cIematis, crepe myrtle, aenemones, and purple magnolia. l could hardly wait tc finish my visit, l was so eager to gel home and begin planting 1 wasn't that something of an innova-
 tion for the Mistress of Folly Farm asked.
