May they continue to grow smaller. Paul B. Means, 1s out in a card in the Charlotte Observer denouncing Ed. Chambers Smith. We are ot the opinion that Mr, Means isin the wrong place any way. ‘There can’t be muci harmony with a hot-headed gold bug on a free silver comtnittee. A rumor comes from Pittsburg that both Sewall and Watson are to be withdrawn and Sibley, of Penusalvania is to be the running mate of Mr. Bryan. We are of the opinion that both Sewall and Watson are in the race to the fin- ish, everything points that Way now. The Populist Siate Convention met in Raleigh to-dey at noon. LC. Caldwell, of Statesville, who only a few days ago went over to the Populist party, was made temporary chairman. Several committees were announcd and the convention took a recess to give them time to prepare their reports. ete - le to find any Republicans in Wayne It has been suggested that an advertisement be put in the papers for some so that a sufficient number may be found to act as poll holders in accor- dence with the requirements of the new election law. Can it be that Maj, Grant and others in the last legislature should be parties to an election law which at the first election held after the adjournment of said legislature can -|not be carried out for the want of men who are Republicans to fill their quoto of poll holders ? We are not complaining however, Ict them go, the country wilh be Letter off without them. The State Democratic Executive Committee at its meeting Tuesday ‘|made a proposition through its chair- man, Mr. Manly, to Mr. Butler, chair- man of the Populist committee, to di- vide the electoral vote with them, the Lemocrats to have 6 and the Populist: 5 of theelectors. It is reported chat Mr. Bulter on behalf of his cemmitiee proposed fusion also on State and con gressional tickets. One party to have the governor and the other the senatort, the other state officers to Le }/equally divided in the congressional districts the Populist to have the fi.st, third, fourth, and seventt, and the Democrats to have the fitth, sixth, eighth and ninth. ‘To-day will prob- ably determine what will be done.

The following table ot the lea) weights of agricultural productions has been compiled from The Code, with amendments since made. It conflicts in several particulars with the weights as given for this State in the May re- port of the United States Department of Agriculture. This table is the cor- rect one. All of the weights are piob- ably too high for the bushel measure of the average productions, but this is es- pecially the case with the average wheat crop, which won’t weigh 60. Ibs, per bnsbel, nor will oats weigh 82 ibs. nor buckwheat 50 Ibs. Peanuts vary in weight according to the variety. *This is the table: Wheat, 60 Ibs. ; rough rice, 44 Ibs. ; ryo, 56 Ibs.; corn, 56 Ibs.; buckwheat, 50 lvs.; barley, 48 lbs. ; oats, 32 Ibs. ; flax seed, 55 Its clover seed, 60 Ibs. ; peas, 60 Ibs. ; corn meal, 48 los. ; bolted corn meal, 46 Ils. peanuts 22 Ibs: : cotton seed, 30 Ibs. The tollowing productions have no legal weights given in North Caronne, but the weights attached are tho se gen- erally recognized : Dried apples, 24 Ibs..; white beans, 60 lbs., wheat bran, 20 Ibs, ; ear corn, 70 lbs ; onions, 52 lbs. ; Irish potatoes, 60 Ibs. ; sweet potatoes 55 lbs, ; turnips, 55 Ibs. ; blue grass seed, 14 Ibs. ; timo- thy seed, 45 Ibs. In all cases the law provides that ex changes may be made, buying and et ling, “by measure, as may be agr eed on between the parties.” The legal measures are the hualf- bushel, peck. half-peck, quarter-pesk und one-eighth peck ; the gallon. half- gallon, quart, pint, half-pint and gill measure, sealed and branded “N. C.” A good deal ot confusion is eaused on account of the difference between the “dry measure” quart and the “fluid measure” quart. The “dry” quart con. tains 67.20 cubic inches and the “fluid quart 57.75 cubic inches. “Kight quarts make a peck, 4 pecks make a bushel,” is the old “dry measure” ta- ble ; “2 pints make a quart, 4 quarts make a gallon” is the fluid measure. But 2 gallons den’t make a peck. . The gallon measure is not a part of the peck or bushel measure at al’, Thirty- two quarts, “dry measur2” quarts, make a bushel, but a bushel will hold about 37} “fluid measure” quarts, or 93 “fluid measure” gallons.” 9 ‘This explanation is given because it is well to bear in mind the difference between bushel, peck and quart meas- ure on one side, and gallon and quart measure on the other, and many far- mers do not understand it.— Depart- ment of Agriculture Bulletin. Hot Weather Experienc2. “Talking about hot weather,’ a farmer from about Bragtown, ‘this 18 the hottest season I’ ever experienced.

Never in the history of the city were so many deaths recorded in one day. The total number of deaths re- ported was 164 and the aeaths from heat prostration 37. Horses are falling dead on the streets with such rapidity that they cannot be hauled away before they become a menace to the public health, and beginning last night, the police were under orders to use large quantities of disinfectants, on such ani- mals as tall dead in the streets and thus keep down the stench and prevent rapid decomposition. It 1s estimated that at least 1,000 dead animals are ly- ing in the streets of the city. The weather bureau predicts a lower tem- perature for to-day and probably storms Wednesday night. eerie Three prominent Pop. leaders of Iredell were talking together, shortly after the Chicago ,convention, about what the national Populist convention should do in the premises. One was earnestly in favor of its nominating the Democratic candidates. It was neces- sary to do this, he said, to be consistent und to prove that they were in ear— nest about silver. The Democrats had offered what they claimed to want and he was in favor of accepting it. No. 2 entered a mild dissent. No.8 was more vigorous. He was in favor of re- jecting the Democratic candidates and nominating theirown men. It might defeat silver and continue the hard times and suffering uf the people, he said, but he favored letting the people suffer rather than support the Demo- cratic candidates. No. 3 is a sample of those who doin- inate the Populist party. It was his kind that nominated Tom Watson and brought about the present complication. It may defeat silves they say, but, not- withstanding all their protestations to the contrary, to them silver is seconda— ry tu party success.—Statesville Land- How are They Going.to do 1k? y uncleanliness baye . bro en “McKinley will be elected in one way io see ee ee ee ee eae a. advantages of cify lifé are| ot other.” ‘This is significant, but just merous, bat rot! all the| what was meant by “the one way oF than the millionaires have done.—Dur-' jor South.

Napolevn and Robert Fulton. The emperor had revealed the truth to his favorite brother when he said that he himself would never attempt a landing on British shores, but that he might send Ney to Ire- land. It isa significant straw that when Robert Fulton offered tomake the flotilla independent of wind and wave by the use of steam Napoleon, the apcstle of science, friend of Monge and Volney, member of the institute, displayed very little scien- tific interest. For some time past he had been coquetting with the American inventor, granting him inadequate subsidies to prosecute his schemes for applying steam power to variuts marine engines of destruction. He probably intended to keep others from using Fulton’s inventions, That be made no fair trial of them himself would seem to show that he had no real use for them.—‘‘ Life of Napoleon,’’ by Pro fessor William M.

Ita Members Agree That When They Die Their Remains Shall Be Given Over to the Cause of * Science. ar’ There is in Taris a large, carefuily- organized society of scientists—with several women members— which has a ghastly and horrible purjose. Each member has solemnly pledged himself that when he dies his body, instead of having ceremonious burial, shall be de- divered to his surviving associates, who shall dissect it, and that his brain like- wise ‘shall be studied and probed tor its secrets, and finally immersed in al- cohol, it shall be ranged in a glass be- side the skull which held if, along with vther brains and skulls of those that have gone before. tion jis the Mutuai Auto) sv seciety (La Societe d’Autopsie Mutuctie). It is composed of about 100 living members, and the dead, whose skuils and brains are neatly catalorued in a loess case ut one end of the meeting-rocm, num- ber 14. Within a few days the 15th chastly relic will have its place there, This 15th was in life the property of -M. Abel Hovelaeque, director of the Anthropological society, who died a short time ago. It now rests, immersed in aleohol, on the table of the Cissect- ing room, where soon will gather the man's former comrades to-weigh aad cut and probe and discuss it, and try to pierce the mystery which it holds. The Mutual Autopsy seciety was or- marized in UST. when sovcral professors and savants of the Anthropological so- ciety decided to offer themselves ds ex- amples in moking 1. saerifice to science. “Why,” they asked one ancthe:, “shouid \.e 1cnder Immediately to carth the de- serted mortal tenement, the study of which offers so vast and interesting pos- sibilities for the advancement of sci- ence ?” Another doctrine of the society is that it would be infinitely better for families, when an adult member died, if he should be made the subject of careful scientific study. In this: way the children of relatives of tie deceased might he warned of and tanght how to guard against hereditary maladies which might menace them. It was this double point of view— scientific and humanitarian—that brought alout the organizstion of the Mutual Autopsy society. tution of the society is carefully drawn and each member is obliged to sign the following pledge. “J, the undersigned, desire and wish that after my death an autopsy of my body be held under the auspices of the Societe d’Autopsie, duly authorized, and also under those as well of the Socicty for the Advancement of An- thropological Science, both legally rec- ognized to be of public ut ‘lity. “Therefore, for the purpose of being useful to science, T bequeath to the laboratory of the aforesaid association my brain and any other part. of my body, or my entire body, if that be topsy.” Not long ago one of the societaires resolved to commit suicide, and wrote to the president of the association to that. effect. But at the last moment a terrible doubt passed through his mind as he asked himself if his wife would be likely, after all, to consent to his autopsy. He therefore drew up his last will and testament, which stipulated that his fortune shovld go to the city of Paris in case his wife should strive to prevent the dispositionof his body as he wished. Then he killed himself. After his death the Mutual Autopsy so- ciety claimed his remains and had pos- session of them for ashort time. Then the wife, by legal proceedings, secured possession of what was left of her hus- band’s ‘body and had it decently in- terred in the provinces. The city of Paris thereupon laid claim to the cs- tate, and the Sociéte d’Autopsie. sued for the recovery of the suigide’s brain. Both eases are still in the Paris courts. One member of the society is quoted * saying that the thought that his : aK would be taken out of its box by ore minent scientists as his con- freres had rebbed death of its bitter- ness, and that he now regarded his ulti- mate end with a sort of melancholy pleasure.—N,.
