Effects of Bad Temper.

The effect upon the bodily health
of the mind by bitterness
and anger is to propagate derange

The nervous system suffers from
continual mental irritability, and
hysteria, headache and other pain-
affections often owe their origin
to this prejudicial influence. As

fractious temper, whether due to
active temperament or other causes,

The issue between two parties

bold supremacy the State is the
overshadowing question. Before
this all others fade into
invisibility. This is natural. To
put the matter thus candid phrase
is to speak honestly. It does
mean there is a lack of proper
friendliness towards the black man-
Not far from it. It means
that the black man is yet ignorant
withal while in majority in his
party is led in voting by an
worthy set of place seekers. It
would be unnatural if more ex-
and more intelligent, and
greater tax paying citizens of the
State, did look With displeasure
and at any of
placing the reins of the

of so many blindly led voters by so
many irresponsible office seekers as
is the Republican party of North
Carolina.
Death on Potato Bugs.
Commissioner John fur-
the following recipe for de-
potato bugs;
Take wood ashes and sift them
fine through a flour sieve. Mix
green with the ashes until
combined, in about
proportion of one ounce of
to one gallon of ashes. Take
some of this mixture sieve and
dust it lightly on vines, so
they may be slightly sprinkled with
dry stuff. Early in morning
is the best time to apply it. This
plan is decidedly better than using
green mixed with water
for reason poison re-
mains on leaves and the bugs
get benefit of dose soon
as they move about, while those
which it falls are for within a
few hours. When applied with
most of the poison runs off
the leaves at once and has but little
effect.
Remember that green is a
violent and should be care-
fully It need not be touch-
ed with the hands at all and per-
sons with a sore or cut the
bands should not touch it or mix it.
Sift the ashes on newspaper and put
in and stir through with
a stick. Use an old sifter to apply
it, or a home-mode one of gauze or
fine muslin.
