When the summer days were with us,
And we sweltered in the heat,
Through days Of sticky misery
And nights with little sleep,
We linked" to lake or river
Where, meath the shady trees,
We sometimes gained a slight relief
From the intermittent breeze.
Yet what we gained from zephyrs
COOL
Tempered in east and north,
We lost in swatting flies and gnats
And waxing weak and wroth.

But all of that is altered now
By. the 'cleverness of man.
We stay at home and find relief
In the new electric fan.
We work mid circling currents,
We -sieep-in wind that's mild;
The screened-in porch keeps off the
flies;
The fan keeps cool the child.
And, after labors of the day,
To gain most restful ease,
We smoke our choice old meer-

In the Oscillating breeze.

Time for WOuId.Be Senators

Acknowledgement Edgar Allen Poe
has announced that he construed the
Primary Election law to mean that can
didates for nomination for the United
States Senatorship can enter until %
days before the primary. September ;
has been settled upon as the primary
date.
There has been some question as to
whether entries would not close 30 days
before. The law prescribes 81 for Gov
ernor. Comptroller. Attorney General
and Clerk of the Court of Appeals the
State officers at the time of the pas
sage of the act and 20 days for other
offices. 1t was suggested that for SEN
ator the same period would apply as for
other State offices. Mr.. Poe holds.
however. that in the absence of specific
provision for 30 days the general pro-
vision of 20 days applies.
Governor Goldsborough said that he
would probably issue the writ of cleo
ton for the Senatorship within the
next 10 days.
