DIR. PERRY'sALECTURE.


DR.. L. B, Sperry, of Carleton College,
gave most instructive and interesting
lecture before the institute IN the court
room last evening upon the subject "Hu
man Longevity, Health and Efficiency -
He gave prominence to the fact that in
the early ages of the worlds history, peo.
pie lived to be very much older that at
present. He claimed that the ordinary
old ago of to-day should be 800. years in
stead 70. He spoke Of the influence of
war, narcotic poisons and licentiousness
in undermining the physical vigor Of the
race, and spoke at length upon the effects
of wrong habits of eating, improper ven
tilation and irregular habits in inviting
disease and shortening life. A proper az
tention to the laws of health would pro-
long lite, prevent most of our suffering,
and wonderfully increase our efficiency.

The Ignorance of n Russian Police

The Ignorance OF Russian Police
FROM an article by George Kennan in
the April Century we quote the follow
ing: I'VE heard many funny stories
from the political exiles in Siberia W ith
regard to the ignorance shown and the
mistakes made by the rural police in
dealing with supposed rcvolutio nista.
Four or five years ago, just after the as
sassination of the gendarme officer
Sudeikin $780, -dav.i,kin) by the terrorist
Degaief ID peeg-yeh), photographs of
Degaief were sent to every police office
in the Empire, On the back was print
ed an offer of 10000 rubles' reward for
the capture of the assassin, and on the
face: were printed six photographs of
Degaief, showing how he looked IN a
cap and without cap; with full beard
and without a full beard; and with a
mustache and without a mustache. A
hard-drinking and ignorant police officer
in village of Western Siberia, into
whose hands copy of this card fell, ar
rested four unlucky wayfarers who hap
pened to look more or less like the
photographs of Degaief. and committed
them to Jail; than he went about the vii
lage, and to the dram-shop. IN half.tip-
sy condition, boasting that he had cap.
tured four of those accursed Degoiefs.
and was going to hold them until he
could find the other two, so that he
could turn the six together over to the
higher authorities. He had no doubt
that he would get not only the 10000
rubles' reward, but cross of honor.
"Another police officer, equally ignor.
ant, arrested scientific man, a member
of the Imperial Geographical Society,
who had gone into the country to pur-
sue his favorite study of ornithology,
The unfortunate naturalist was accus-
toned to note down every day the names
of the birds of which he had secured
specimens, and the sagacious police
officer. in looking oyer his prisoners
diary, found on almost every page such
entries as June 13-killed a fine crown
snipe this afternoon; or June 17-Shot a
silvia hortensis today Regarding these
entries as 5unmlstakable records. in cipher
of nihilistic murders, the officer sent the
captured ornithologist under strong
guard to the CHIEF of police of the district,
with the note book as documentary proof
that the prisoner was one of the most
desperate and bloodthirsty of the terrorist
assassins; the entry with regard to crown
snipe' he said was plainly reference to
the most august family of the Gossudar."

open letter Of Mr.. J. T. Patrick chief
Of the most important branches OF
the Southern Inter-States Immigra-

and capitalists TO come amongst us.
Many home seekers visiting the

the best way for this fact 10 be

DIR. WOOD AND THE
MEDICAL. BOARD.


whether DR.. Wood may hold the
Superintendency Of the Insane AsY-
lum and also the Presidency of the
Board Of Medical Examiners.
Section 1928 of the Code says:
"In order to the proper regulation
of the practice Of medicine and
surgery there shall be established a
board of regularly graduated physi
clans, to be known by the title of
The Board of Medical Examiners of
the State Of North Carolina, which
shall consist Of seven regularly
graduated physicians"
Section Of the 18th Article OF
the State Constitution says:
mo person, who shall hold any
"ilice or place Of trust or profit une
der the United States, or any de
partment thereof, or under this
State or under any other State, or
government, shall hold or exercise
any other office or place of trust or
profit under the authority Of this
State, or be eligible to seat in
either House of the General Assem-
bly,"
Then section 1870 of the Code
says:
"If any person shall presume to
hold any cffi:e, or place of trust or
profit, contrary TO the seventh Sec
ton of the fourteenth article of the
constitution of the State, he shall
forfeit and pay two hundred dollars
to any person who will sue for the
same"
Now putting the constitution and
the law together, is DR.. Wood enti>
tied to hold both Uf1ices, or must he
resign the Presidency of the Board
Of Examiners?
TIE DEMOCRAT thinks that there
is no prohibition in the statute a.
galnst his holding both. According
TO our Interpretation of the law the
Board of Examiners do not hold any
place of profit under the State. 1t
is true the Code says what shall be
their compensation but this com
pensatiOn comes not ont Of the State
funds bat out OF ANY moneys in the
hands Of the Secretary of the Board"
The Board Of Examiners make their
)wn bylaws, elect their own officers
and fiR such vacancies as may be
caused by death.
In other words, the Board Of Elk
! sminers conduct their work not as q
creature of the State, but as a crea-
ture of their own volition.
THE DEMOCRAT is of the opinion
that DR.. Wood holds both offices
without molestation.
We remark further, that DR.. Wood
comes to the superintendent OF the
Asylum ct a very critical time
there has OF necessity been great
Reorganization about the institution
daring the trial, and the changes
consequent thereto.
In the judgement of the Board of
Directors DR.. Wood was the man
to assume the new control. The
people all over the State are gratl>
fed at the selection and yet, there
will be close scrutiny Of DR.. Woods
Course and manas cement of things.
Now TIE DEMOCRAT says to the
great state of North Carolina and
her critics, Hands off for six or
twelve months.' And tlen if DR..
Wood has not properly adjusted ev>
cry arrangement Of the institution
and its workings, we will be snrDris>
ed and willing to say so. Dr.. Wood
is energetic, decided, prudent aud
progressive, and we look for 10 dis
! appointment in his administration.

"CITlZEN" ENDORSED.

EDITOR DEMOCRAT Ill you Will
allow me q short space IN the col
umns of your paper, L will offer
hearty endorsement of "Cltizen's"
letter which appeared in the last
issue of TIE DEMOCRAT.
| am glad that some one besides the
editor has spoken of the general in>
terest Of the town aud has made
such suggestions. Yes, we know
Mr.. billiard needs new press and
surely larger one than he has. We
also know that he is laboring under
great many disadvantages, and at the
some time | feel sure the people of
Scotland Neck will not buy press
for him, neither have | thought for
moment that Mr.. Hilliard desires
such charity. He has not asked for
such at any rate. But what has lie
asked for? Not for new press, or
for money, except that for which he
has labored and deserves to have.
He has asked time aud again that
the people of this town support It's
paper with liberal patronage. Some
people seem to think that their only
business is to read, comment and
criticize THE DEMOCRAT. TIE DEM
oCRAT IS our paper and Mr.. billiard
is to give his time and talent to
make it's columns full Of Information
and amusement, and to hold up the
banner of the town which is now
moving upon the threshold of a
boom. He does his part, he gives it
his entire time and attention, and
thereby gives US as good a paper as
We have in the State according to
| the size of the town. Now, do we do
our part? | answer, No. Look for
moment at the enterprises spoken
of by "Citlzen.' The cotton factory
is commenced and now we are SOON
to have hotel that will cost ten
thousand dollars, an ornament to
the town, al Artesian we'll is being
drilled Oh Main street, which if sue
Cessful, will be an ornament that
will enhance the value of the town S
property several thousand. Also a
cotton seed oil mill is spoken Of -,
and we expect to have it. We at
tribute the greater portion of this
work to THE DEMOCRAT and to the
hard labor Of it's editor. Do we ap.
preciate this? If so how? Our mer-
chants each sell from two thousand
to sixty thousand dollars worth Of
goods annually, and they nearly all
sabrcribe t. TIE DEMOCRAT, and
advertise little and feel that they
have done q great deal for the paper,
Are the business men able to adj
vertise their goods as it would prove
to their interest TO do? If so why
not do it5 Ii they are not, then we
can't support paper and will have
none. Now, to Cltizen' and the
people of Scotland Neck appeal for
endorsement when say if the bust
ness men in the town would show
their appreciation By advertising
their goods like they wanted people
to know what they had, and to lend
their supporting hand to their own
paper, Mr.. HillIard will furnish his
press and give Us paper of which
we will be proud.
Merchants, advertise more liberal.
ly. Support your paper and that
will do as much for you.
