GREENVILLE, PITT COUNTY, N. C, FRIDAY, JANUARY 1900. <lb/>
WASHING LETTER. <lb/>
As s <lb/>
standing army, public <lb/>
expenditures, public and <lb/>
corruption. It was B warn- <lb/>
which deserves the attention <lb/>
from the country that it will not <lb/>
receive from Mr. and <lb/>
the hammering of Secretary imperialistic advisers, who an- <lb/>
f his favoritism in depositing u not but by <lb/>
government money national <lb/>
bunks was Allen <lb/>
and Representative Sillier offered <lb/>
for all letters, <lb/>
telegrams agreements etc., <lb/>
the S. and the City <lb/>
National Hank and the Hanover <lb/>
National Hank, of New City. <lb/>
Mr. Saber's resolution was referred <lb/>
to the committee on Ways and <lb/>
Means, Mr. Allen's is on the <lb/>
table of the Senate. The ham- <lb/>
mering will lie continued. <lb/>
Sen Chandler, who is one of <lb/>
the republicans who <lb/>
the committal of bis party <lb/>
to the single gold has <lb/>
offered an amendment to the gold <lb/>
standard bill, now before the Sen- <lb/>
ate, providing for more attempted <lb/>
in the shape of a <lb/>
continuance of the alleged <lb/>
to secure <lb/>
ism. <lb/>
Senator Hoar the imperial- <lb/>
the Senate unite a <lb/>
when objection was raised to Sena- <lb/>
tor resolution asking <lb/>
the Secretary of War whether it <lb/>
was that had sent <lb/>
a flag of truce to Otis the day <lb/>
after the lighting of our men be- <lb/>
with a message saying that <lb/>
the lighting started through an ac- <lb/>
asking his co-operation <lb/>
to stop it, Otis had replied by <lb/>
saying the lighting must continue <lb/>
by there is to be <lb/>
absolute suppression of all <lb/>
for information concerning the war <lb/>
with the Filipinos. I shall object <lb/>
to the taking up of other matters <lb/>
during the morning hour when <lb/>
such resolutions are pending. <lb/>
Senator Allen put a quick stop <lb/>
to the rumor that he was to lie <lb/>
brought out by the Nebraska <lb/>
their candidate for Pres- <lb/>
by declaring that he was <lb/>
not a candidate, would lie, and <lb/>
would not accept the nomination <lb/>
If it were unanimously tendered to <lb/>
him. He clinched it by <lb/>
undoubtedly will lie <lb/>
the candidate of the democratic, <lb/>
populist and free silver parties for <lb/>
the Presidency, Nebraska will <lb/>
give him a united, active <lb/>
to all three <lb/>
Senator Allen also took occasion <lb/>
that there was absolutely no <lb/>
foundation for the stories of trouble <lb/>
in the because of <lb/>
his appointment h the Senate; <lb/>
that his appointment had been de- <lb/>
upon by be <lb/>
fore Mr. Bryan knew anything <lb/>
that the relations be- <lb/>
tween Mr. Bryan and Mr. Hitch <lb/>
cock and himself were of the most <lb/>
harmonious character, and would <lb/>
continue no. <lb/>
calling Senator Hoar <lb/>
Arguments in favor gold <lb/>
standard bill must lie hard to get <lb/>
when prominent republicans <lb/>
the Senate slant up and say that <lb/>
the bill is n i unfriendly to silver; <lb/>
that its becoming a law will not <lb/>
a continuation of efforts <lb/>
for bimetallism, <lb/>
that sort of rot. The object of this <lb/>
sort of talk is obvious. There arc <lb/>
republican Senator who will vote <lb/>
for this bill who have numerous <lb/>
constituents who in <lb/>

all In vain, until, a last resort, <lb/>
he fished n toothpick from his pocket <lb/>

Why does man <lb/>

Buck questions as these hare puzzled <lb/>
our Immediate fathers, who have hard- <lb/>
ever satisfactorily explained them <lb/>
away or Indeed thrown much reliable <lb/>
Ugh them. The human brain Is <lb/>
composed of cells, and each cell Is a <lb/>
simple bit of nerve substance, from <lb/>
cud of w like an octopus, <lb/>
spring a Dumber of tentacles, while <lb/>
from another part arises an arm <lb/>
from them and of great <lb/>
The long arm Is Intended for trans- <lb/>
Impression from one portion <lb/>
of the brain system to another. It be- <lb/>
made to touch <lb/>
short arms of the next one to it, <lb/>
latter in Its turn effecting contact with <lb/>
a third cell, and so on. <lb/>
Thus a message Is conveyed and the <lb/>
mind get Its news. The entire brain <lb/>
Is made up of these cells, whose mini- <lb/>
1st Is legion whose full strength <lb/>
Is grouped in systems, these systems <lb/>
In turn being In <lb/>
ties, the clusters <lb/>
finally the cluster, in constellations. <lb/>
which divisions are known to <lb/>
physiologists <lb/>
So long a- la In a healthy <lb/>

Your brain cell Is n <lb/>

great deal of from you. but If <lb/>
u should go I lit lie too far It rebels <lb/>
and refuses lo work any longer by <lb/>
breaking contact with Its companion <lb/>
cells, which it can do by withdrawing <lb/>
Its long and getting Itself out of <lb/>
circuit. Hut tills rebellion Is conduct- <lb/>
ed by whole groups of cells acting to- <lb/>

Now, the object of this Is <lb/>
simply lo avoid overwork, for each <lb/>
tiny cell has stored within its minute <lb/>
pace only n certain amount of energy, <lb/>
but If you put on the high pleasure <lb/>
this Is easily consumed by the opera- <lb/>
of brain, the organism <lb/>

one Brown, <lb/>
colored, was chasing a chicken on <lb/>
the square in when a <lb/>
pistol dropped from his pocket. <lb/>
The weapon was picked up by an- <lb/>
other but Brown afterward <lb/>
claimed the pistol and admitted <lb/>
that it was his. The facts being <lb/>
reported lo the mayor, a warrant <lb/>
was issued for for carrying <lb/>
concealed weapons. He waived <lb/>
examination and gave in the <lb/>
sum of for his appearance at <lb/>
court. Blown intended to submit <lb/>
but he claimed that he had sold <lb/>
the pistol and that at the time it <lb/>
fell from his pocket he was carry- <lb/>
it for delivery to party to <lb/>
whom he hail sold it. On this <lb/>
showing he was advised that he <lb/>
was not guilty Judge Robinson <lb/>
so held. Solicitor Hush appealed <lb/>
on behalf of the State and the <lb/>
Court has reversed Judge <lb/>
Robinson. Following is the find- <lb/>
of that <lb/>
for carrying con- <lb/>

purpose of carrying it was for de- <lb/>

upon the verdict the court should <lb/>
have ruled the defendant guilty. <lb/>
The question was as to the manner <lb/>
and not the purpose of carrying the <lb/>
weapon. The absence of intent to <lb/>
conceal must found <lb/>
to rebut the statuary presumption <lb/>
of concealment. Here there was <lb/>
