TO BE CONCLUDED
TO KISS OR NOT TO KISS ?
Physicians Say the Pastime Is We
Dangerous.

Physicians Say the Pastime Is Very
Dangerous.
Next to jumping of express trains, going
up In balloons and monkeyin9 with buzz
saws, kissing seems to be the most risky and
dangerous pastime to which tho human
family is given, if statements of well-known
physicians are to.be believed.
A cable dispatch from Berlin states that
physician of that city declares that TWEEN =
ty-two different species Of bacteria find a
Judgment In the human mouth, and that h g
wants kissing abandoned. Those who still
persist in the dangerous practice, he sug-
gests, should be muzzled with respirators
until they see the error of their ways and
are willing to reform. He suggests no sub
stltute.
DR.. William II. Grim, when his attention
was called to the cablegram, said that kiss
ing was a prolific cause of the spread of in
fictitious and contagious diseases particu =
larly such as diphtheria, measles. whooping
cough. scarlet and typhoid feyers and cons
sumption. He produced several ponderous
volumes in which the subject was treated.
and in which some cold-blooded statisticisn
had figured 1t out that three and two tenths
per 'ntum of certain diseases were trans
mltted by the apparently harmless kiss DR.
Grim said be didn't expect that any amount
of argument would check the habit which
has been going on since the foundation Of
the world. bit he suggested that it would be
we'll for thosa who are much given to the
exercise to obtain certificates of health,
which they could show to each other at the
beginning Of each performance Any one
who could not produce such a certificate
should be ruled out of the game.
DIR. Fannie E. Hopes. who has Just re-
turned from abroad. agreed with the Ber-
lin physician. She said that the habit was
very dangerous one indeed, causing the
spread of infectious diseases through en-
tire families. and often through whole
neighborhoods. She also thought the habit
was foolish and senseless, and said she was
opposed to it on principle. She cited
several cases where diphtheria and typhoid
fever had been spread by kissing, and said
that many mothers have instructed their
nurses not to allow their children to be
kissed when the nurses have them out in
the streets

Alab m q Alliance and Ran roads.

The committee of the Alabama
House of Delegates on common car
riers, after weeks of patient and care
full investigation, voted unanimously
to make an adverse report on bill
to give mandatory powers to the
Alabama State railroad commission
er. The unanimous voice of the COM
mittee means that the State of Ala
bama, whose railroad development
for the past few years is marvellous,
will continue her broad gauge AMI
conservative policy towards corpo-
rations, avoiding the evils of unnec-
essary restrictions and hostile legis-
lation which have been so destruc-
tive in some of the Western States,
and illustra ting i'll the new condition
of parties that there Is no necessary
conflict between the railroads and
the alliance element, the latter being
overwhelmingly in the ascendancy in
this Legislature. Five hundred miles
OF railway a,e now under construc-
ton in Alabama, and il is believed
that the disposition of the Alabama
Legisla ture, as shown in its action
yesterday, will stimulate both CAPT
tai and labor in the development of
the State.

What a Georgia .Cracker" Eats.
from the Century for February. ]

From the Century for February.l
When money flows in steadily the
wage-earners buy the best cuts of
meat and are liberal consumers of
expensive early vegetables and fruit.
The dispensers of charity for a
church, more trustful than prudent,
gave mill family protesting to be
in dire need orders on a grocer for a
certain amount weekly, and were as
founded to find that for the meat and
meal indicated the tradesman was
pei suaded to substitute fruit nuts and
raisins. At every door children
squat around tin plate of syrup,
dipping in it big hunks Of corn pone
and smearing their yellow faces more
widely with each mouthful. The
sweet "pertatur'' roasted in the ash
es is always ready-a great advan
tage where the housewife ''bees
tired" from her birth. In the crack
er's kitchen lard is the universal SOL
vent. The tyrant of his home, the
key to his habits, the blazon of his
civilization, is the frying pan.

Mrs. Jefferson Davis's Memoir.

The memoir of president Jeffer-

just issued, is dedicated ito the SOL
diers of the Confederacy, who cheered
and sustained jefferson Davis in the
darkest hour by their splendid gal
lantry, and never withdrew their con-
fidence from him when defeat settled
on our cause" Mrs Davis gives the
full text of the correspondence of her
husband with Gems Johnston and
Beauregard III regard to their alleged
failure to follow up their successes,
and describes graphically his distress
at the reverse5 which came upon the
South toward the close of the war.

The Colonial. Records.

There is proposition for the Leg
islature to show it's appreciation of
the value of the work done by the
Secretary of State, Col. William l..
Saunders, in editing and publishing
the eight volumes of the Colonial
Records of North Carolina" The
Legislature could not do a more
commendable thing than to recog-
nize the good work done by Colonel
Saunders. If they all knew how
much his labors will serve to change
the current of North Carolina histor-
zeal investigation in the future, and
the new facts brought to light both
as to men and measures, they would
not fail to adopt resolutions of COM
mendation and satisfaction.-Wil-

Continue to Make Big shipm ents.

Big shipments are the order of the
day with the tobacco manufacturers
of Winston. An old manufacturer
told US this week that he had never
known sales to hold up SO well be-
fore during the month of Jonuary as
they had done since the beginning of
the new year. The fact is it has
been a veritable boom with our to-
bacco men in the way of shipments
every day since the two cent reduc-
ton went into effect.
During the month just past the
shipments footed up in cold net fig
ures to ONE MILLION, SIX HUNDRED
AND FORTY-EIGHT THOUSAND, TWO
HUNDRED AND THIRTY EIGHT POUNDS.
The internal revenue collections
for the month amounted to $685.

during discussion of the Force ILL

Wake, said that even Republican
members were going to vote for it,
and that it was the only good thing
he had ever known the Republicans
to do. At this Mr.. Lineback jumped
out of his seat, and going up to Mr..
Jones shook his fist in his face and
said his remarks were personal and
offensive and he, for one, would not
submit to them. Excitement reigned
for a few moments, but quiet was
finally restored by Jones assurance
that he meant nothing personal.

Mr.. R. II. G.. Bouis, of Washing

land lying directly on the Roanoke

he proposes to erect large plant
for the pupose of manufacturing
brick. The location is such as will
enable MIR. Bouts to secure the very
best clay, and with Mr.. J. F. Griner,
a recent resident of Washington, D.
c., an expert brickmaker, to take
charge of the works we have every
reason to believe that he will make
a success of his enterprise. They
will begin work on the plant at once
and hope in a short time to be able

he was here to hold court, and not to

derstand that he meant exactly
what he said.
For failing to answer to his name
the judge ordered that one of the

It is borne in mind that railroads

may he arrived as to the large vol
ume of travel that is now coming

accustomed rule to count six passen>
