Good Nwith Carolina Poetry. Whenever we are in doubt as to the best brand of poetry and of "licker"-we always turn to North Carolina. There was -a time when we did not have to go beyong the borders of our own State for poetry-and even now we have here in South Carolina at least one poet who is as good as the best of North Carolina's, but unfortunately his muse is not as hard-working as we would wish, and consequently we dc not get the results that we desire. We mention no names but WE leave his identity to the intelli gent discernment and gratefu memory of the public. In the meantime we must oi necessity depend upon North Carolina for our daily poetry anc we are p:cking up some prett3 good things. The Charlotte Ob server is full of good poetry al most eve--yday, and we scan its editorial page with unrestrained eagerness. We were lately es pecially pleased with a poem en titled, "I Do."-so pleased ir fact that we are tempted to givE it to our readers. Here is thE first verse: It is natural for me to like you, And I do And I don't want to love you. But I do I have tried hard to hide it, But I ne,er can divide it, For I do my own dear one Love yDu. Now,. that is not so bad-wE have seen much worse. - And yet the second verse, we believe. .is better: I wish I did not love you, But I do And I would not say it But to you; But from the first time I saw you until now I could not make a change, For I don't know how. This has at least the advant age of candor, The poet admits that he does not care paticularly about loving, but simply has tc love anyhow. "I wish I did not love you, but I do," etc. HE can not help his temperament. But there is no hard feeling of any sort. The poet is perfectly willing to be a brother to her. He is willing to be kind to her and to do anything for her that he can. Listen to his little lay. If you ever want a favor, Simply tell me what it is, And I'll refuse very quickly Or answer why it is. This is not entirely clear, but we suspect that it is sarcastic; we do not believe that the poet really means that he would re fuse the lady a favor. We believe, in fact, that he is very fond of the lady and would do almost anything for her. This is proved conclusively by the last verse: Now I trust I have won your favor, I'm waiting to hear from you, If you will but squeeze my hand a little, At present that will do. Modesty and poetry are in separab)ly connected, and in this case the modesty of the poet is proof of his prowess. All he wishes is a little sqeeze of the hand. A more exacting poet would have demanded at least a kiss or a hug-this bard is con tent witn a hand-squeeze. "At present, that will do." How hauntingly suggestive is the phrase, 'at present." We admire the nerve as well as the reserve of the North Caro lina poets. They . not only say and sing exquisite things, but fron1 their verse we feel sure they have not said or sung the best things.
