There stood an old peddler resting
on the bridge situated near Avoca at
the meeting Of the waters. He was
tired and weary after hard days
walking, and as he looked down into
the waters he mur,nured: Sweet Vale
of Avoca. Tom Moore called you sweet,
but II he had to be on bed without
a blanket or sheet and travel the coun-
try without boots on his feet, he
wouldn't give curse where the bright
waters meet

Fine Paint Made From Tar.

The Revue de Chime Industrielle
notes that brilliant black paint
which dries we'll and Is far superior
to mineral varnish may be made by
mixing equal parts Of coal tar with
benzine or coal oil. Spread thinly with
a hard brush, it penetrates the wood.
which 1t preserves from decay, and 1t

April 4.-The labor problem is becom-
ing very serious but in the face of
this the farmers are in very good
spirits. They are buying more fer
tilizers than usual and are preparing
for an extraordinary food crop. Some
already have corn up, and Madam
Rumor states that some are plowing
cotton.
Tobacco plants are doing fairly
we'll and the tobacco planters are
waiting on the shower for transplant
ing.
The school here was preparing for
concert but has suspended it and
will have no entertainment at the
close, so far as we know. This
seems to us a very logical idea, for
no gala day and elaborate school
closings, considering the turmoil the
world is now in. There has not been
a word said about the school here
through this paper, but nevertheless
Rowland Sealy has had things on
boom and the people are well pleased
with his management.

NO SUFFRAGE PLANK IN
DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM
State Convention Thought it Unwise to
Make This an Issue During War
Times-That Was the Only Ques-

Times-That Was the Only Ques-
tion on Which There Was Division.
The State Democratic convention
which convened in Raleigh yesterday
at noon adjourned last night with the
adoption of a platform that was 81
lent on woman suffrage, for which
the Republican convention held at
greensboro the day before declared
mat was the only question over which
there was anything like fight. The
prevailing opinion was that it is an
issue on Which the people Of the State
are too much divided to make it an
issue during war times. The nlat-
form endorses the conduct Of the war
by the Federal administration re;t-
crates its faith in the Democratic a9-
ministration of Nation and State. and
assures it's Republican opponents Of
confidence in their loyalty TO the Ma
ton.
Chairman 7. D. Warren in ope1,ing
the convention declared that this is no
time for political fights Tenlporarv
Chairman Victor Bryant Of Durham
in his "keynote" speech also en3nha-
sized the fact that the chief business
now is winning the war and rartisan
fights should be avoided.
