The violetsagain-little wet tvi-
olets, and there is the clean. sweet
breath OF Spring. One would lift
his head and drink deep-taste
this newness, this grateful fresh
ness that is about. There is a
quicker leap of life, and nature
seems to stir with a kind OF ten
derness. There is the deeper glow
on the faces OF children-easier
happiness on a tiny, nesting face
comes to outward
whiteness again-the cool, crisp
sign Of Spring. And in all is the
subtle charm ofviolets-little hu.
man, tremulous things, gentle a.
lovers whisper, pure as purity.
Restful, quaint little flowers, too
simple, appealing FLOWERS to
lay on a baby that has died-to
give Us seemly tribute to woman
hood, to press against the face
as easement for a tired heart
such a dear peaceful little flower,
all alone in flowerland-emblem
Of the worlds best, and waiting
to mock a false face oradorn the
beauty that comes from the soul.
With every return OF spring and
the "violets again" there's add
ed beauty to the literary gem OF
Isaac Erwin Avery's reprinted a.
bove. A word taken away, 1t
would be incomplete; to add an
other thought would he super
auous. Morganton has the proud
distinction of having given to
the lworld for even q brief life's
span the late lamented authorof
this beautiful little masterpiece.
His memory will live as long as
The violets come again, for in
beauty OF expression there a r e
few equals to "The Violets" in
prose or poetry.-Morganton

Bud Fishers Snug Income.

"Bud" Fisher, creatoro "Mutt
and jeff" is the highestpaid car
toonist on earth. He gets $780,
900 q year for making the Amer

twice what the President gets for
shaping their National destiny.
Furthermore, Fisher is troubled
neither by International compli-
cations nor by fice-seekers. His
office is in his hat.
For drawing SIX comic strips
q week for forty.eight weeks a
year thisgenial hnnorlst receives
$7S, 900, John N. Wheeler ex-
plains in the American Magazine
for May. The rest OF his income

gagements, which bring him q
thousand dollars a week, t h e
proceeds from five 'Muttand JEFF

BECKETT and uNNEy.

Mr.. E. G. Kestler, a Republi-
can, OF Concord. delivers himself
.thusly in the Greensboro News,
on the candidates for guberna-
torial honors in North Carolina:
ut is almost a certainty now
that Mr.. Beckett and Mr.. Linney
will be the opposing candidates
for Governor in our State t h i 8
year. 1t is true, the the CAM
paign will be upon an elevated
plane and be one conducted by
men of high intellects and char
acters. Both gentlemen are rich.
ly endowed by nature and train
ing with all the graces OF the true
orator and both are logicians of
no mean pretensions and in their
leadership the principles OF gov
ernment and the opposing poll
cies of their parties will receive
the treatment OF the master. The
historic campaign of Vance and
Settle will be enacted over again
with the resultproblematic. Rhet-
oric and rounded periods will
float upon the zephyrs. Demos
thenese and Cicero will lose their
charms and fade away before the
coming heroes OF a new era.
"From the snow.capped noun
tain peaks to the sounding sea,
from South Carolina to, t b e
Mother OF Presidents, the scenes
will be those long remembered in
history and long chanted by the
firesides. A memorable campaign
is about to be horn. By such q
campaign the world ofletters will
be frightened, the catalogue OF
puns and true pathos will be en-
larged, the political atmosphere
will be surcharged with dynam.
les, and the voters will be edited,
electrified and many OF them will
be transfused from the Donkey
to the Elephant and vice.versa.
"The new dispensation that will
be thus ushered in will spell great
things for our Commonwealth.
1t will elevate the political arena,
centralize public thought, open
politics and principles and carve
the names OF the two leaders in
letters of gold high on the arch
OF fame, and perhaps weave their
virtues and their merits deep in
to the hearts of heir countrymen
and the partisans."

Nj. Lacy Replies to Nj. liunsy.


Replying to criticisms of Mr..
Frank A. Linney on his admins
tration OF the State Treasurer's
office, State Treasurer B. R. Lacy
makes it plain that the attack
is based on what he terms "a
long since discredited report OF
discredited New York auditors,
who audited my department in
1904.
"The principal contention is,"
says Mr.. Lacy that l Icarried for
the years 1912 and 1913 aver
age balances OF state funds Of
100000 to $500, in banks
without interest, and was at the
same time borrowing money for
the state and paying interest on
it. These statements are based
on the findings Of the auditors
above referred to, which were
incorrect as to the amount OF
the balance shown on the books,
and totally incorrect as to the
conclusions drawn from them,
for the following reasons:
"The book balance shown on
the books of the State Treasurer
do not at any time show the ac-
tual cash balance in bank. l car
ry actual accounts. with the To-
cal banks in every section Of the
state where a State institution
IS located for the convenience OF
the patrons Of such institutions.
II send 100000 to a bank at
Morganton, for illustration, that
bank begins paying the money
out as proper vouchers are pre-
sented it for collection. My
books will continue to show bal
ance OF 500, 900 on deposit with
the bank until it sends in to me
for cancellation a months &C.
emulation of vouchers paid. A
situation similar to this exists
with reference to funds carried in
New York banks for payment of
interest on the bonded debt OF
the State, which amounts to
$500, 500 per year. Interest cou-
pons paid by them are never sent
in to ME under 80 days after they
are paid, and in some instances
in more than two months, and
my books show, as balance on
hand, the money that has in this
way been paid out 80 to 60 days
before. These New York accounts
are not carried directly in the
name OF the State, but through
one of the Raleigh banks, which
accounts for the showing made
of balance carried with the Raj
eigh bank. These accounts have
for 40 years been carried in the
name OF a Raleigh bank as pro-
lection to the funds of the State
from bond schemers OF the But.
ler type, who are always on the
lookout for some means of fore
ing the State to pay those old
fraudulent bonds, and has pro-
ven a wise policy"
Mr.. Lacy states that Mr.. Lin
ney's conclusions take no account
of the auditors warrants and
that in insisting on the State col.
lecting interest balance in the
banks, he is advocating some
thing that has already been pro-
vided for by the Legislature Of
1915 and is now in effect.
"One-sixth of the past three
years and four months OF my ad.
ministration," he continues. "for.
eign auditors have been in my
offices auditing my books and it
is not charged that a single dol.
lar coming into my hands has
not been accounted for or that
the State has lost one penny du.
ring my administration.
MY books" he adds, care

ton will be raised to Mr.. Lin
