The New hypnotic, Paraldehyds.

In his published experience with the
use of paraldehyde, Dr. Clouston, of
Edinburgh, expressed a decided prefer
ence for il as compared with any pure
hypnotic, the fact being that very often
the patient is asleep in Ave minutes
after the drug is given. 1t is very rare
that it produces disagreeable effects,
there being no interference with the
appetite for food the next morning, nor
disturbance of the stomach or bowels,
ana In some cases 1t restores to the
brain the habit Of sleep, with the addi-
tional advantage that it lqAy be discon-
tinued without leaving a drug habit,
DIR. Clouston found its administration
10 be of no use, but rather injurious,
when Eeserted to in the daytime. The
dose varies largely according to the
case, but too small doses have Z tenden-
cy to excite the patient In very many
cases Of confirmed insomnia, melan-
cholia, and in acute mania. three or
even four dFams are required for pro-
ducing the desired effect. end in cases
of mania DR.. Clousten often adds
dram of one of the bromides to the
evening dose of paraldehyde. London

prompted to greater accuracy and de-
velop ahigher spirit OF liberality in ap-
praising their property. But stand
ard should be first adopted by the Leg
islature as to how to list-by what prin-
ciple to operate. For instance, in valu-
ing jewelry and books and furniture,
must he give in at what they originally
cost. allowing something for wear and
tear, or at what they would fetch at a
cash sale or what they are now worth
to him?
Some twenty years ago this writer
sent one hundred books to Raleigh for
sale. He realized upon them S33, we
think it was. They cost very nearly
5000. One work alone-Olshausen-
cost US S2I.5o, and there were but five
volumes. If we had to list the 100
volumes now would it be just to our
selves to give them i'll at $500 or even
s25o (they were in good condition) or
at s33, at which they sold, and mark
you the sale was p,1vate and not at
auction. We instance this TO show the
difficulty of determining and the ne
cessity of standard of valuation. We
say let the returns upon personal prop
erty be published, but not until the
next Legislature adopts better system
of taxation-one more equal and just,
and has fixed standard to guide list
ing. Let this be done, and then pub
lish the full property returns that every
man may see who is doing his duty
and "toting fair Honest men will
always strive to do what is right. We
agree with editor Haydn in the opin-
ion that "every town and county in
the State is interested in this matter,
and by the press opening upon the
subject all at one time much good
may be done in chosing proper men
for the legislature this year."

upon and carried to successful conclusion.
The custom of saluting after sneeZing is
said to have prevailed among the aborigi-
neS of America, and we still find it in

Our News Concerns.
LOxfOrd Day.l


That the too-enterprising news con-
Germs of North Carolina are working
positive hurt to the commonwealth is
beyond question. A Richmond friend
writes to us of the evil effect produced
in Virginia by the daily contribution
from this State of accounts of terrible
crimes and horrible causaltes, Off
springs of imaginative brains. He adj
vises US to pay our editorial respects
to these reckless quid nuncs. Instead,
we give an extract from his letter, as
he presents the matter we'll and forci
bly,, and, being an outsider, his opinion
in the premises possesses especial value.
This was not intended for publication,
and we make use of it with an apolgy
to our friend for the liberty we take:
Some of the North Carolina cor
respondents should be suppressed.
Their letters are really calculated to
iniure the State. For instance, the
long list of diabolical crimes and unique
casualaties daily Gathered at Green's
boro.' The Charlotte correspondence
is not much better. | say they report
lots of things that never did happen,
never can happen and never will hap
pen, but the folks here think if they
see it in the papers it is SO. And they
wonder what sort of a country is North
Carolina.
81 want you to write an editorial
on this subject of North Carolina news.
Why can't the correspondents write
about the distinguished men and pref
ty women, the great and growing towns,
the mills and mines and factories, the
agricultural products, the fisheries, the
sroo.s and herbs the Virginia bright
tobacco, the cutter trust, the Farmers
Alliance and the thousand other things
that go to make the State-take it
from Murphy to Manteo,' the grandest
country on which the sun shines.

PatrOniZe Home Industry.
LA Grange Spectator. I

Below we give pointed editorial
IS appears from the pen of the able
editor of tire Wilmington Messenger,
and it equally applies to our section
Of the State. We hope our readers
will be especially moved to think on
the line of home manufactures for
working our products into manufac-
tured goods, and prevent much need
less expense and poverty among our
people.
"We believe that if you can do
yourself justice by patronizing home
industries and home people it should
be always done. Why go North to
get what you can find at your door at
reasonable rates or prices? We do not
say you should agree to be skinned by
extortioners who would make you pay
twenty or forty per cent. more than
the same article could be bought in
Baltimore or New York at retail. We
simply urge that you patronize home
people in preference TO people in other
communities whom you do not know.
They are not interested or concerned
in the least in building your communi
ty. They only wish your patronage
because they want your money. They
do not care the snap of their fingers
for you individually, but for your cash
they have a very high consideration.
If you can find in Wilmington what
you require at home or for your person,
do not send North unless you have
good reason for believing that the
prices here are unreasonably high.
Live and let live. Help those who
are contributing to build up Whining
ton and North Carolina. That is fair,
neighborly and just. Act upon it.
A Raleigh printing establishment
says in letter to us:
" When we learn to patronize our
home people and keep our money at
home, new era will dawn upon our
Southland, and the New South that
we read so much about will be reality
1ilA lIOI q lAiSAS lhSolt'
We have seen copy Of the Memo
rial volume of the lamented apostle of
the New South, and we were panied
to see that those who were publishing
the volume to perpetuate his memory
went North to have the work done
We believe that if his wishes could
have been consulted he would have
said no."
We agree with this opinion. Mr..
Grady was eminently a Southron, of
North Carolina father and mother.
He was none the less loyal to his peo
pie because he was broadly patriotic.
He loved the South with all his great
heart, and there is no doubt, we may
believe, if he could have spoken that
the volume celebrating his own viz
tues and gifts would have been pub
lshed in the South We are surprised
that Atlanta or Savannah was unequal
to the production of such work.
We are all too much in the habit of
running North for everything. Until
we learn to rely upon ourselves and
produce what we need we are not free
and independent, and never will be.
Let us stand by the South. Let us
stand by our States. Let us be sure
to stand by our communities. Let us
stand by home people. Let us be
self-reliant and sympathetic and help
full one to another. That is the way
to develop and prosper.

What the Lee Statue Represents.
brooklyn On. W Citizen.

Now that the unwilling of the Lee
monument is an affair of the past, our
Republican contemporaries ought to
cool off and find consolation in the
fact that the country is still safe. They
may also be refreshed by reading the
following passage from the Grafton by
Colonel Anderson:
"The moderation and good sense OF
the Northern people breathing the
large and generous air of our Western
world, quickly responded to Grants
example and though the North was
afterward betrayed into fanatical and
baleful excess on more than one great
subject, all the fercer passions of a
bloody civil war we're rapidly extin-
guished.
"There was to be no Poland, no
Ireland in America. When the Hol-
lywood pyramid was raising over the
Confederate dead soon after the close
of the contest, some one suggested for
the inscription a classic verse, which
may be rendered
"They died for their country-their coun.
try perished with them.
"Thus would have spoken the voice
of despair. Far different were the
thoughts Of Lee. Facing the duty ol
the hour, Lee saw now that the ques-
ton submitted to the great arbitra-
ment of war had been finally answered.
He recognized that the unity of the
American people had been irrevocably
established He felt that it would be
impiety and crime to dishonor by the
petty strife of faction, that pure and
unselfsh struggle for constitutional
rights which, while single hope re.
mained, had been loyalty fought ou1
by great armies. He therefore
promptly counseled his old soldiers tc
look upon the country thus reunited
by blood and iron as their own, and
to live and labor for its honor and
welfare. His conducss was in accor
dance with these teachings. Day by
day his example illustrated what hi.
manly words declared, that human
virtue should be equal to human ca
lamity."
Even the widest patriot who eve
sent substitute to the front and re
mained at home himself to howl 70
vengeance ought to be soothed by sucl
Language.

SENATOR JONES of Nevada, in con-
cluding speech in the Senate on the
Silver bill, drew this picture. Said he
al predict, Mr.. President, that the
restoration of silver to its birthrlght
will mark an epoch in the history of
this republic. 1t will increase the
wages of labor it will reduce the price
of bonds and other forms OF money
future it will Tighten but not inequi-
tably, the burden Of mortgage; it will
increase largely, though not unjustly,
the debt paying and tax paying power
of the people it will loosen the grasp
of the creditor from the note of the
debtor. The lifting up of silver to its
rightful plane by the side OF gold, will
put in motion all the latent energies of
the people"

The Mecklenburg Declaration.
philadelphia Record.]

The document which appears thus
to have been at last discovered is of
the greatest interest, not only because
it antedates Jefferson's great paper and
the action of the Continental Congress,
but it ends almost with the exact
words of the Philadelphia declaration,
although adopted year before July
4, 1776. The Mecklenburg declara-
ton was as follows :
Resolved. First, that whosoever di-
rectly or indirectly abetted or in any
way form or manner Countenanced
unchartere1 and dangerous invasion of
our rights,as claimed by Great Britain,
is an enemy to this country, to Ameri
ca and to the inherent and inalienable
rights OF man.
Second Resolved, that we, citizens
of Mecklenburg county, do hereby dis
solve the political bonds which have
connected us to the mother country,
and hereby absolve ourselves from all
allegiance to the British Crown, and
abjure all political connection, con-
tract or association with the nation
which has wantonly trampled on our
rights and liberties and inhumanly
shed the innocent blood of patriots at
Lexington.
Third. Resolved, that we do here
by declare ourselves free and inde-
pendent people, are, land of right ought
to be sovereign and self-governing
association, under control of no power
other than of our God and the General
Government of Congress, to the main
tenance of which independence we
solemnly pledge to each other our mu-
tual cooperation, our lives, our for
tunes and Cur most sacred honor.

java Coffee Growing Scarce.

Do you know that within few years
you will drink the last cup Of Java cof-
fee? The public does not generally know
that the coffee plantations in Ceylon have
been stricken with blight the last three
-four-years, which has been progress
ing through the east, extending through
the islands of Java, Sumatra and others,
to the extent that it threatens the total
extinction of coffee culture, especially IN
Java The estimated crop in Java in
1899 was 10000 piculs. A picul weighs
1873 pounds. Five years ago this crop
yielded 1900, 1000 piculs. So you car i'm
agine that if no material change for the
better sets in it will be but short time
when the world will find Java coffee but
a reniniscence.-InteT in Chicago
