4sTREAMLETs oE POETRY

A book Of one hundred pages writ
ten and published by Rev. G.. w. Por-
ter, recently of Memphis, Tenn, now
pastor of st. John A. M. E. Church,
this city, is little volume of poems
of three classes, serious, humorous
and sentimental. Among the serious
may be mentioned "The Heroine of
the Delta" where a black woman
suffered death by a mob at the stake
with her husband, in the Mississippi
Delta, after being tortured in every
possible way to wiring from her a
confession which she refused to the
last to make. Our Fathers Were
Friends, Why Not WEI" is drawn
from a conversation which the writer
heard between his father and his ex-
master after the close Of the Civil
War, and is full of good hard sense.
Many others of this class are we'll
worth reading.
Among the sentimental are many
pleasing poems, among which may
be noted: when Booker Came to
Town." which the writer wrote after
hV hdu AnIlOuuCCQ MI. w dbAlu6JOn
to the large audience which greeted
him at Clarksyille, Tenn, on his
special trip through this state In
1909. Keep Your Feet On the
Ground" is another of this class
which is fraught with much whole
some advice about buying homes, ETC.
In the humorous class, perhaps his
''Bill and Rastus" is the very best In
the book, though there are many Of
this class that will entertain any
lover of humorous poetry.
There are many poems on Easter
or The Resurrection, The Christmas
Festival and the New Year, that are
above the ordinary. Perhaps the
most classic poem in the book is the
last number, where the writer pours
out his soul in a tribute to his only
son, who died just about the time he
was merging into manhood and when
ne was finishing his last term in
college. The little book has been IA
vorably commented upon by eminent
scholars of both races. Rev. R. c..
Ransom, of New York, now editor
Of the A. NJ E., Review; Prof. w. S.
Scarborough, president OF Wilber-
force University; Prof. I. M. Burgan,
president Paul Quinn College, Waco,
Tex, and many other scholars Of note
have written favorably Of the book.

CHILDREN AND RELIGION.

(From the "Children's Chatter" in tn,
January Strand.)
Children have curious notions Of
religion, sometimes.
Mamma l want some water tc
ch'isten my DOLL" exclaimed little
girl.
mo, dear" replied her mother; "you
should not make fun of such things
We'll, then, want some wax to
waxinate her. She's old enough to
have something done"
Yet, as Professor Mulrhead has said,
"The study of the child showed that
religion was the natural product Of
the human soul, and the interest in
religion was shown by such questions
as Who made God?' Does God make
some good and others bad? We are
so accustomed to regard the child of
a past age as abnormal1y pious that
We feel inclined to be shocked with
the modern little girl who, after a
month spent with her mother in a
remote country cottage, walking
through the fields one evening, sud
denly exclaimed:
81 do wish God was with me now
mummy"
why, darling?" replied her mother.
The child heaved a sigh. I'm get
ting little bit tired of you, mummy"
There is straightforwardness about
child which, unfortunately, he loses
as he grows older The story of the
boy who was heroically trying to save
his pennies, put into concrete form the |
petition in the Lords Prayer when one
night he began, 20 Lord, help me to
save my money" Along with this
trait there is an element of reasoning
N the following story, told by Mr.. H.
K. Lewis. A little girl was not pleased I
With her brothers because they were
n the habit of setting traps to catch
birds. Asked what she did, she re-
'lied: 81 prayed that the traps might
lot catch the birds"
Anything else
YES" she said. Il then prayed
hat God would prevent the birds get
ing into the traps" and as If to IL
ustrate the doctrine of faith and
works., she added: 81 went and kicked
he traps all to pieces.

ENTERPRISE
INCREASING CAPACITY

The Enterprise Foundry & Machine
Company, feeling the benefits of great
ly enlarged business, is making some
much-needed improvements at its plant
on Front street. A new building 80
by 90 feet is being erected south OF
the machine shop, to which the office
will be moved when the building is
completed. In this new building a
complete automobile repair shop and
garage will be installed.
Mr.. Parsons, who has worked hard
to bring this company up to its pres
ent position as one of the leading In
dustries of this section, states that his
company has had very satisfactory
year. There have been times frequent
ly that their capacity has been taxed
to the limit, hence the new improve
ments being made.
Promptness and fair dealing are
trade maxims with this concern, and
these account largely for their attain
ment of present proportions of plant
and trade.

If Parson Jasper we're living today he would
probably amend his famous statement so as
to make it read the sun and world do move"
after reading the following dispatch from New
York:
New York September 17.--After a thorough
canvass of the political situation in Pennsyl-
vania. the Democratic national committee to-
day announced that 1t intends to make every
effort to capture the State and that the following
speakers have been assigned to make smpaign
in Pennsylvania: Governor Marshall. nominee

of Alabama; Representative Henry. of Texas.
and Representative Redheld, of New York; Sem

and Gore. OF Oklahoma: Governor Folk, OF Mis-
souri,; Frank 8. Monet. Of Columbus O.. and

Perfunctory campaigns have been made by
the national Democracy in Pennsylvania be-
FORE but not since the War Between the States
has the tariff for revenue party been so hope

gressiye campaign. When the Democratic

Each of the three candidates for the presi-

Taft would leave them to the courts after
Strengthening the antitrust law. Roosevelt's
policy is to recognize that they have come to
stay, take them under the protecting wing OF

Turnbui denying that they making efforts
to corral the negro vote Mr. Turnbull de-
clares that he has not solicited single negro
vote. and Judge Watson gives his word that
not negro should vote in his county of Not
toway
Should either one or the other of the two
candidates seek TO bring out the negro vote
in full: should either one solicit negro votes;
should either do what he can to bring
this question again into politics by taking
advantage of the laxty of the Byrd primary
law: he should be defeated, but The Vnpinian
does not understand how the negro who wants
10 vote and answers the requirement of the
law can be prohibited from voting. The Byrd
pr mary law allows negrotes to vote--not all
or them. but all who voted the Democratic
ticket at the preceding general election did
not vote at all and who are qualified as voters
in general election. It should not. but 1t
does.
1t Is gratifying. however. to know from the
candidates themselves that no effort Is being
made by them to bring out the negro sote in

GRAHAM QUALITIES.

AT last the Roosevelt followers OF the Ninth
Virginia district have chance to show their
consistency. They will not be compelled to
with a second. They are no longer under the
necessity OF voting for Roosevelt and for the
man whom Roosevelt has declared to be no
better than pickpocket.
From the top of the Blue Ridge floats now
the banner of the Graham and to II he calls
Rally round the progressive flag. boys of the
Ninth, rally In strength he calls. land cap
ture the flags and make prisoner the followers
of Ayers and slemp."
Almost with his first breath, Walter Graham
of Tazewel makes good his claim OF being a
Roosevelt leader Shouts he:
'Slemp for Office betrayed his friend, Roose-
volt, and tricked all who made him..
True Rooseveltian words are these; no mol
lycoddle expressions are they After making
that and similar statements it is not needful
for him to declare that he stands ''squarely
with Roosevelt and Johnson" Did not the
one declare that Slemp and all who partici-
pated in the fight for Taft in the Chicago
convention are thieves. and did not the other
call President Taft 1.-The most humiliating
character In all American history? OF course
Mr. Graham could not be expected TO improve

right to join with these soft-spoken leaders of
