'Some six or seven years ago symptoms
of insanity appeared in our son, which de-
yeloped in greater or less degree, and at
no time since have we considered him
fully sane, and at times clearly insane,
almost beyond control. We have done ali
in our power TO keep this knowledge
within our family, hoping that such symp-
toms would disappear. While we don't
think 1t wise, at present, 10 detail his
mental condition, the proofs are ample
and we believe conclusive.
knowing these things, which have
caused us for several years untold and
constant anxiety, we would ask fair and
discerning public to accord to them their
lust weight"

In this address, Senior Convas gave his
Impressions OF his visit TO the United
States But IL would seem that he un-
douhtedly used language which was Of.
fensivc to the United States minister,
hence the lattcr's demand for an explana-
tion.
The impartial asserts that Mr.. Taylors
demand was couched in hurtful language,
adding; 1t seems to be the acme of sem
sitiyeness. Our international relations
show greater grievances than this.
The minister OF marine. Jose Maria do
Beranger, rcsents according 10 The Her
aldo, The tone of Mr.. Taylor's note, con-
silering it unjustiaed, ms the address OF
Senior Convas was delivered before pri-
vate geographical society.
The Impartial takes the same ground,
saying that the United States minister's s
demand Is entirely unprecedented, rs the
geographical society before which the adj
dress was made Is not an official body.
The impartial adds. ironically: There Is
no doubt that this development of inter
national law may be introduced by the
United States into any case, and IL Is very
striking testimony OF the relations exist
ing between tho two governments.
Sonor Convas, it appears. asserted that
the moral atmosphere or the United states
was very defective, and that family rela.
tions lacked mueh t. be desired. Educa-
ton, he also said. while widespread, was
only on the surface, and American poll
ticians he added, have no prestige. He
concluded by remarking that in America
everything is sacrificed To the almighty
dollar. and that business and materialities
of life drown all noble sentiments.
Admiral Beringer, minister OF marine,
made an investigation rs TO the circum.
stances of the address delivered by Con.
vas. The latter has denied the accuracy
OF the extracts of his lecture which were
published in the press, and has said there
was nothing in il offensive TO America.
Don Antonio Canovas del Castillo, tho
premier, has determined TO ask Senor
Convas to write afull apology for his ref
erences 10 the United States In the lect-
ure which has been the cause Of irri-
tation.
The government has offered Minister
Taylor satisfactory assurance Of its sim

Uncle Lewis Dead.

Old Uncle Lewis George lcoD one
ofthe quaint and interesting characters
of our town died Sunday, ofgangreen.
He was over 50 years of age and
was one Of the old time negros, polite,
obliging and always In good humor.
No one enjoyed life any better than
Uncle Lewis and no one ever met
death any more calmly. He was a
slave, being owned by the Beardens,
Of Knox county, until he was bought
by the Georges Of this county, who
owned him until the time he was
freed. For number of years Un-
Gle Lewis drove one old OK hitched to
cart and became quite Familiarity
known as the "Maryville water
works." as he hauled water in barrels
10 the citizens in dry weather. Sew
eral OF our citizens now own pictures
of him with his OK and cart with the
barrels in it. The poor old fellow
suffered great deal before he died.
His foot commenced getting sore
about Christmas and he has been con-
fined to his bed for eight weeks.
Uncle Lewis, although poor negro
and at one time a slave, was honest,
good natured and always attended to
his own business. His life is a wor-
thy example for the younger people Of
his race, who may be smarter SO far
as book learning in concerned, bu,
they never can hope to stand higher in
the esteem of all.
