North Carolina Poetry in Crit
cal Examination
continued From Page Six

The genius of Poe is needed to Sc
cure fame with an extremely limited
output. Let our new poet speak out
freely. Many phases Of life must be
touched, animated, aid bare before q
writer car reach true poetic stature.
The poet is an understander of life not
in a single aspect or instance, briefly
set forth but in d broad, full, rich,
and loving comprehension.
Then let US emphasize this feeling,
polish and freedom of u~tterance. Let
our high school teachers of English
when they interpret the work of our
w%orthiest poets, put the thought daily
into their students minds hat the
truest poet yet to sing in North Caro-
lima is about to string his Tyre.
Let US meet him with standards of
comparison and criticism, with worthy
forms of recognition and encourage
ment, and lOve him while he is living.
He has almost reached US. He is
coming up the hill, just beyond the
crest, his young face aglow with on
fidence and promise.

state in proposing and urging the cot
ton bond issue, but the chances are
that it will never get to the voters.
At this writing the chances for the
isseu to go regularly to the voters are
remote, but with the tickets sent out
by direction Of the Senate, in anticipa-
tiOn OF the approval or action OF the
governor, there Is liable to be much
confusion, and it certainly behooves
those interested to keep close watch
Cn what is done at the ballot boxes on
Tuesday.
1t is held that if the governor holds
the Act until any time Tuesday with
out his approval, under his constitu-
tional rights, that there can be no clcc-
ion on the cotton bond question.
This is not the first time in lcgisla-
tion that important measures have OK
PRED by the operation OF time Many
and many bill has died on the Calcn-
Oar simply by a fight to keep from act
Ing on It, either afrmativcIy or mega
lively. This is perhaps extending the
old saying that "All is fair in love and
war"-and politics.
There is a general demand for n full
vote in the election on Tuesday. 1t is
not so important in the matter OF the
election of State and county officers
but for many reasons il is important
that the total vote should be large and
that everyone who can should 20 ia
lilo polls and vote upon the constitu-
ticnal issues, and that the Federal
election tickets should in all instanc-
es be cast.
There will be in all about forty Acts
that will go to make up the volum, OF
Acts of the special session. More than
rs per cent are strictly and absolutely
local matters; the most important OF
the general matters being cotton re-
duction, warehouse and the Clifton
three-bOX law.

comfort to ME in this great hour of
sorrow and misfortune to feel that a

Despite all that can be done, the

Ability, not Quantity, Pays in Farming

No farmer gets rich by the quan'
tity Of production, 1t is the price he
gets for his products and economy and
business judgment displayed in
management that makes the farmer
wealthy.
We cannot pass a law that would
increase the price of products or re-
duce the cost Of plowing the land and
marketing the crop. We must de
pend upon factories and transportation
facilities for marketing our products
and upon improved mechanical ap-
pliances and the business ability oi
the farmer to reduce the cost oI
production, and TO more intelligently
market his products.

Poultry Yard Suggestions

Crit should be supplied the fowls at
all times, as it aids digestion.
The poultry manure is a valuable as
set. The most satisfactory way Of
storing it is in barrels.
Don't have too much poultry house
furniture. 1t occupies space and al
lords hiding place for lice.
A we'll cared for flock Of hens will
pay bigger dividend than anything
else on the farm.
Better not try to keep chickens and
lice at the same time: the lice are apt
to get the best of it if you do.
Never let the male birds run with
the hens after the breeding season is
over. InlertiIc eggs will keep much
longer than fertile ones.
The only guide post which points &c
