than men in the business. You can readily see from the date of establishing to the present time that they must have been guilty of square dealing, or they would not still be holding products same as they did to years Now, to verify statement, we

The magistrates of Mecklenburg
at their meeting first Monday
adopted a resolution requesting
the county's representatives in
the next General Assembly to
support a measure looking to
enlarged accommodations for
the insane of the State. That is
a good deal more rational than
the of the
hospitals for taking more
patients their institutions
are already full. The practical
questions for the people of the
State, in this connection, are,
whether they will have the
provide for hospital
accommodations whether the
counties will take care of the
outside insane, or whether they
shall be left unprovided for by
public, to wander at large or
to remain at their homes, an
intolerable burden to their
lies. Between these three prop-
a humane people should
not hesitate long before deciding.
The counties can, at considerable
expense, provide mere custody,
but not skilled treatment, and
without this there can be little
hope of recovery. A family can
take charge of an insane inmate
at home by locking the insane
person in a room or confining
him or her in a this
or leave the lunatic unrestrained,
with the attendant risk of elope-
fire, homicide or suicide;
but who can picture the horrors
of existence to a family having
such a charge Then what about
the lunatic In one of the hos-
of the State is an insane
man who had for years been kept
by his family in a pen so low as
not to admit of his standing
erect- What time, therefore, he
was not lying down, he
crouched in his pen upon
legs grew to this position,
that when he was rescued
could not straighten them and
stand erect. This is one instance
of home custody.
The State can care for the in-
sane at less expense than the
counties can, and it alone can
provide the treatment which leads
to recovery. The family which
has for years contributed taxes a
part of which have gone to the
support of the various insane
asylums and hospitals, has a
right, when one of its own
becomes insane, to demand
of the State that it provide
and treatment for the
as it has done for years in
similar cases.
The question. What shall be
done with the insane outside the
public institutions is one wholly
for the General Assembly. When
the authorities of a hospital fill
it with meritorious cases they are
at the end of their resources
they can receive no more except
upon occur en of removals,
from death, recovery or improve-

IN THE JURY SYSTEM.
Congressman Bryan, of
who delivered the oration at
the State Normal school at Greens-
has delivered another col-
oration, this time before the
law class of the National
his subject was the jury
System. In his opinion, the jury
system is not perfect; at any rate
it is not, under existing methods
of application, producing the best
possible results. Therefore, he
urged the young men whom he
addressed to give their influence
towards effecting needed reforms.
According to Mr. Bryan, it is still
the custom of the courts in some
of the States to exclude from a
jury any man who admits that he
has read newspaper reports of
the case about to be tried. As
all intelligent men read the pa-
and as the papers print all
the news, this custom, or rule,
Mr. Bryan rightly holds, is equiv-
to the exclusion from the
jury of the only Kind of men who
ought to be permitted to per-
form such service.
The development of the press
since steam was utilized for trans-
and electricity for the
transmission of news, is one of
the great facts of our age. More
paper is used for a single
of a metropolitan daily journal in
1894 than was required in all the
newspapers offices in the United
States in an entire week in 1794.
Now certain-
everybody who is fit to sit as a
to apply the old rule
to which Mr. Bryan referred is to
do that which is directly
ed to bring the jury system into
Another of the changes
by Mr. Bryan is the
of the plan now in successful
operation in California and Ken-
under which less than the
entire number of jurors can
a verdict in civil cases. It
appears that in those two States,
when three-fourth of a jury in any
civil case are agreed, their verdict
is accepted as the finding of the
jury. It is claimed that this
change has been productive of
good results in reducing the ex-
tent and cost of litigation without
depriving litigants of a fair chance
to get justice. Where all the
jurors are required to be of one
mind in order that a verdict may
be arrived at it is urged that it
often happens that justice mis-
carries by reason of one stupid
or self-conceited man, or one man
who is owned by the counsel of
one of the parties to a suit.

Maj Brings Suit.
Maj. W. A- Graham, of Lincoln,
brought suit yesterday in the
Court of Lincoln against
the Wrought Iron Range
of Missouri, to recover
damages sustained by him in
the loss of his residence, and
valuable contents, by fire a few
days ago. A of attach-
was issued against the
property of the defendant, which
consists of iron ranges, mules,
wagons and other property.
weeks ago the range
company sold Maj. Graham one
of its Comfort Ranges,
and when the agents of the com-
set up the range they failed
to protect the ceiling and roof,
though which the piping was run,
by placing pipe or
other protectors around it. This
fact was called to their attention
by Maj. Graham, but they claimed
that owing to the con-
and workmanship of
the range, the pipe did not need
this protection, and guaranteed
that there was no danger of it
heating in the least. This was
but a few days before the
was destroyed by fire, which
caught from this pipe. Two or

giving us an opportunity to be
heard and he felt it to be his duty
to tell me that they had in their
possession, or he had, or some-
body had, a broker's scrip upon
which were recorded the
es of different gentlemen or
persons in buying stocks,
and that upon that scrip I had
been a frequent purchaser of
sugar stock in this city g
the sugar debate here. I pro-
tested to him as positively as a
man was capable of doing tint it
was impossible that it con be
so; that I never owned
or of a certificate of
sugar stock in my life; that, in
fact, since I had been in tho Sen-
ate I had never traded in one
worth of stock- I insisted
upon his seeing the broker. He
told upon my asking him that it
was Co-, who had a
house near Seventh street, on
avenue, and that
thing was certainly there- I
told him to telegraph to his paper
at once that there was not a word
of truth in it He asked me if
this could be the work of some
malicious enemy of mine. I told
him could hardly believe that,
but I could not account for it, to
save me-
I would be glad if you
could see this broker again be-

of this sort, and find out if

I told him I knew of but one
person in the city by the name of
Ransom now, and that was my
son George, who was my clerk.
He asked me where he was, and
is in the parlor
now. I was, perhaps, more
than the occasion re

to the parlor and beckoned my
son to come in. I did not speak
to him or see him between the
parlor and my room, and
he got into my room, I asked the
gentlemen to state their business
to him, and told my son, what-
ever tho matter was, to the
truth about it. He said that
he had bought some Sugar stock
on the 17th or 18th of April. He
put up a margin of which he
paid the broker Sugar stock.
He said that on the same day he
put up a margin of on cotton-
He said he lost the money on the
cotton and made on the sugar;
that afterwards he the
bet on sugar, but not the one on
cotton; and I think he lost the
second.
He then stated that he and a
Captain Barnes, a messenger here
for the Commerce Committee,
after on two occasions,
bought worth of sugar stock
apiece- They went in together
and asked this correspondent to
examine son fully-
About two weeks ago Captain
Barnes came to me- He is a mes-
of the Commerce Commit
tee, a North Carolinian, and has
been here for some time, and he
told me he had something to toll
me, and it was rough; that a friend
of his had told him that they had
a paper which my name was
down for so much sugar stock,
and that I was deeply in it I
told him how absolutely false it
was- asked him to go to his
friend and tell him the same
thing. The next day he came to
me and told me his friend
looked into the matter and
thought there was nothing in it,
and I told him he must look into
it thoroughly to see and
that there was nothing in it, that
I could not live if there was any-
thing of that sort in
breast about me. He returned
the next morning and told me his
friend said it was all a myth, all
nothing, and not to give myself
any concern about it This
respondent asked me the name of
that person, and I told him it was
given to me in confidence, I
had no right to give the name to
the committee. I have seen Mr.
Howland about it I just this
minute sent for and told him
that I should ask the committee
to summon him to give the ac-

Senator I never
dreamed of such a thing. I
would not have believed it. The
truth of it is, I went to my son
with a great deal of confidence
when this correspondent wanted
to see him. The paper shows
that when he bought the first
stock, I was out of the city. The
18th of April was when we were
at Governor Vance's funeral, at
Asheville. I may state to the
committee that I have no interest
whatever, and never have had
any stock, or trade, or anything
else in any since I have been in

But I had just lost a five-pound

these days of fierce competition the
contractor gives as little as possible
for the money he receives and the
owner gets as much as he can. The
architect's position as a mediator be-
tween the interests is not
an enviable one. Every day when
building is lively he is called upon to
decide questions of law, many of
which would puzzle the average law-
and he is generally able to do
it. Between ignorance and selfish-
on the part of clients and con-
tractors the life of an architect is so
harried that it is a wonder that the
average duration of life of this
able class of citizens is not shorter
than it Courier.

N. f-
A few weeks ago Mr- Henry C
Tucker, one of our most
living near
happened to the misfortune of
losing his barn, all his corn and
a goo-1 many farming
by fire. This occurrence was
reported and discussed by the
people of the county and Boon
forgotten and we in common
with all others heard of it, ex-
pressed sympathy for Mr. Tucker
and soon forgot all about it and
if it had never been mentioned
doubtless we never should have
thought of it again, had it not
been that we were at the depot a
few mornings ago and Mr. Tucker
was shipping some Irish potatoes.
A wagon and two carts were load-
ed. His brother and son were
driving one cart and wagon find
he was driving the other cart.
As he drove up and stopped we
noticed him getting off the cart
lame and feeble, he could hardly
walk and his appearance was as
thin and delicate as that of a
woman. In an instant it flashed
over our mind we went to
say here that Mr. Tucker never
spoke to us at that for a
of years he has been a con-
sufferer from rheumatism
in fact we have been told since by
another party that he has not
been able to do a day's work in
over five years and for that
son his loss was much the more
heavy. Until we saw him that
morning busily engaged doing
nil that he could to get his
toes off we were never brought to
seriously consider that great
question inhumanity to
We see a man suffering
from some severe and
unless it is by the force of
stances we scarcely ever stop to
consider our advantages and
blessings over his. We never
thoroughly know appreciate
good health or sympathize with an
afflicted one until we are stricken
with misfortune and there is
where humanity is wrong. We
ought to help one another Dear
up under the adversities of life
and lend a helping hand in times
of need. So few of us inquire in-
to the sufferings of our neighbor,
that really one half of the world
does not know the affliction the
other half endures. A loss like
this is one that ought to be re-
placed by the public. Mr. Tuck-
doubtless is as able financially,
so for as we know, to sustain the
loss as any farmer, but that is not
the only question for us to con.
sider. A man may be able to
sustain a loss yet it will retard
his progress and place him at a
great where as if
each neighbor and the public at
large would contribute a small
amount they miss it.
And oh, how it would
fit and relieve the one-
It would make him think this was
a kind and gentle world and not
so cold, cruel, and harsh as it is
accredited. Ob, well, says some
one, I give as as I am able
to causes and I am
not able to give any more- This
unfortunate class of people in
their own opinion always gives
more than any one else when in
fact they never given except in
some public way and at some
public place. These people are
charity givers for revenue only
and are object in
the presence of men. A great

now in conclusion we urge
the people and the farmers
to be charitable in
their dealings with their fellow

lives only for himself and his is a
stumbling block in the way of
some who would do good, a
to society and only a
figure head so far as good result-
from him is concerned in

himself, is against the balance of
humanity and dies a miserable

HARMON AS MANAGER OF THE
TOBACCO EXHIBIT AT AT-
EXPOSITION.
We are exceedingly gratified to
learn that Mr. H- E Harmon,
editor and owner of the Winston
Tobacco journal, is being widely
spoken of and strongly endorsed
by the leading manufacturers and
Tobacco Boards of Trade of
North Carolina, for manager of
Tobacco Exhibit at the At-
International Exposition
which is to be held next year-
No man in the South is more
qualified to fill that
than he. While we have
never had the pleasure of know-
him personally, yet for quite
a number of years we have been
a constant reader his most ex-
paper and through that
has been reflected his strong in-
Mr. Harmon has always been
alert and active in pushing and
advocating any movement that in
his opinion was the advance-
of the tobacco interests of
the South and on the other hand
he has waged relentless war on
the enemies of the tobacco trade
regardless of public opinion or
the hope of a monetary
Such instincts and
have made the name of Zeb
Vance immortal
of all that is good and noble in
man, and it is such principles that
are to-day gradually breaking the
fetters of Southern bondage and
placing Southland on a more
equal line of commercial activity
with the more fortunate New
England States.
We sincerely hope that the to-
men of Eastern North
Carolina especially will aid in
curing the appointment of Mr.
Harmon to this position for if it
is placed in his hands the grow-
manufacturers and dealers in
Southern tobacco may rest
assured that nothing will be left
undone by him that will in any
way intensify the interest or
the standard of South grown
tobacco.
If Prof. would move out to
Chicago and take a camp stool In the
vicinity of the cage of monkeys in the
animal house at Lincoln park he
would learn more of the habits of
those interesting creatures In a
month than by sitting in his own
cage in the jungles of Africa for a
century. This is the opinion of a
party of lawyers who were witnesses
to a most remarkable exhibition of
a monkey's humanity to a fellow
monkey at Lincoln park one Sunday.
It was in the forenoon, and the space
around the cage was not
so crowded as always is later In
day. The party's attention was
attracted to the actions Of the
est monkey in the happy family. All
the rest were happy but this one.
He was apparently in great distress
over something In right eye. He
rubbed it with one paw and then
with the other. Sometimes It looked
as if he were trying to push his eye
out with his fist. But it was of no
use. The more he rubbed the more
it hurt and the redder and more
watery his eye became.
Just as the curiosity of the spec-
was turning to sympathy and
they were about to inform the
keeper, the old monkey was seen to
call a medium-sized brother from
another part of the cage. Without
words even to Prof.
Garner the trouble was
to him. Without the least
ado he led the blear-eyed sufferer to
a corner of the cage where a broad
beam of sunlight streamed in. By a
quick move the patient was made to
turn his face up full in the sun's eye.
The operating monkey took a lid In
either paw and examined the organ
Intently. All he seemed to need was
a magnifying in one of his own
eyes to complete the resemblance to
a skilled oculist. Having apparent-
located the cause of the trouble,
he held the lids apart with the fin-
of one hand, while with
other he pick ed out the infinitesimal
foreign substance with the same
ease and deftness that tho observer
may often have noticed in a
key's treatment of a too intrusive
and persistent flea.
The patient gave a relieved J
gratified grunt and returned to his
sober reflections on humanity.

ping to collect a fee. swung himself

EDISON'S ANTI-SLEEP IDEA.
It's Well Enough Unless It Happen-
to Get Into Politics.
Dr. William Hammond believes
the coming man will be bald unless
be changes his headgear, says the
Lancaster Examiner. Another sci-
doctor thinks we are gradual-
getting farther away from the
tastes and physical structure of our
prognathous ancestors and that the
man of the future will not eat meat.
Last comes the wizard of
Park, Thomas Alva Edison, who
prophesies that tho of the
future will do with little or no sleep.
The great electrician thinks slumber
grew out of old-time conditions.
When night stole over the face of the
earth our ancestors
had no resource except to go to
sleep. With nothing but a dim rush-
light to dispel the gloom, they fell
Into a vicious habit of killing the
cant hours by going to sleep. Now
that electricity is beginning to
night Into day, it is time for man-
kind to outgrow such puerile habits.
Indeed, all who understand the
of hereditary laws must be
willing to concede that the
of the sleep habit during thou-
sands of years, when there was no
good artificial light, must have de-
a tendency to slumber that
cannot be at once overcome.
It is worth noting that Mr. Edi-
son's theory Is directly opposed to
that of the labor organizations,
which insist on a reduction of the
hours of labor, one of the arguments
for which is that labor is much more
efficient when not continued too long
without intermission. Tho
to abolish sleep in order to do
more work will appear absurd to
many people who are yearning for
some new discovery which will
them to get along without any
work at all. Let us at least hope
that no political party will spring
up pledged to the immediate and
conditional abolishment of sleep as
a curse to the race.
DIVERS IN THE DEEP.
The
Heavy Equipment with Which
They Are Supplied.
A diver's armor consists of a
met of copper, a collar of the same
metal into which the helmet is
screwed, a dress of soft rubber and
canvas and shoes weighing four-
teen pounds each. There are also
eighty pound weights on the chest
and we
call these, to distinguish them from
weights which we sometimes wear
around the waist. The helmet is
roomy and has a face plate and a
valve through which superfluous air
escapes into the water. You can lo-
a diver by the bubbles which this
escaping air drives to the surface.
The apparatus above water consists
of the air pump, from which a strong
hose leads to the helmet. A two-
inch life line is attached to the diver.
In winter we wear heavy flannels
under our suit.
Over hose and line the diver con-
verses with his tender through
those above the hose relating
to the air supply. When there are
three jerks at the life lino the ten-
never stops to answer but hauls
up at once. Three jerks always
mean desperate peril- usually death.
One jerk on the line means hoist;
two. lower; a quick shake, stop. We
give six jerks for a hammer, seven
for a knife, eight for nine
for a line.
Divers often encounter sharks, and
huge fellows they are, too. But tho
experienced man pays little at-
to these marine monsters
because, as a rule, the most
of them are fright- off by
the shrill whistling sound the
escape valve gives out. Rut all ob-
under water are magnified
three or four fold, and an ordinary
fish the size of one's hand is given
the of a small beer keg.

is pronounced delicious by all who

Immediately, the lee cream Is found
