Mr. A. 2. Bryans Suit Against Blay-
lock eft al, and Not Mr.. Zachary.
The News and Observer was in error
yesterday when it was noted that Mr.. A.
=. Bryan had brought suit against lack
airy & Co. for a sum which he claims to
have overpaid them for building his resi-
dence on Hillsboro street. Zachary & Co
were not the contractors for this build
ing, but r. L. Blaylock & Co. were and
the suit is brought against r. l.. Blay-
lack and others. There is no such firm in
Raleigh as Zachary & Co., but there is a
firm doing business under the name of
Zachary & Zachary, who deal in lumber
and stone. They had nothing whatever to
do with the contract for building Mr.
Bryan's house. They are both excellent
gentlemen and have the respect and
esteem of all who know them. The mis-
take in yesterdays paper is regretted.

those terrible paroxysms of pain. 1t made

NEED FOR SLEEP.

The Most Important Compensation Tor
All Effects of Fatigue.
BY far the most important compensa-
tion for all effects of fatigue is sleep.
Everybody, even the man mentally most
inert, develops when awake mass of
mental effort which he cannot afford
continuously without suffering. We
need, therefore, regularly recurring Pc
RODS in which the consumption of men,
tai force shall be slower than the con-
tinuous replacement. The lower the de-
gree to which the activity of the brain
sinks the more rapid and more com
plete the recovery.
The mental vigor of most men is usu.
ally maintained at certain height fol-
the longest time in the forenoon. Evil
dence of fatigue come on later at this
time of day than in the evening, when
the store of force In our brain has been
already considerably drawn upon by the
whole days work. II no recovery by
sleep is enjoyed or it is imperfect, the
consequences will invariably make
themselves evident the next day in a
depression of mental vigor, as we'll as
in arise in the personal susceptibility
to fatigue. The rapidly with which one
of the persons experimental upon could
perform his task in addition sank about
a third after nights journey by rail
way with insufficient sleep. Another
experimenter could detect the effects of
keeping himself awake at night in a
gradual decrease Of vigor lasting through
four days. This observation was all the
more surprising because the subject was
not conscious of the long duration of the
disturbance and was first made aware of
it incidentally by the results of contin-
ued measurements on the causes Of the
manifestations Of fatigue.-Popular Sci.

stories told which show that the love of

HIS YOUTH

HIS YOUTH.
His cap was too thick and his coat was too
thin:
He couldn't be quiet; he hated din;
He hated to write and he hated to read;
He was certainly very much injured indeed
He must study and toll over work he de-
tested;
His parents were strict, and he never was
rested;
He knew he was wretched as wretched
could be!
HIS MATURITY
His farm was too small and his taxes too
big;
He was selfish and lazy. and cross as a pig;
His wife was too silly. his children too rude,
And just because he as uncommonly goodl
He hadn't got money enough and to spare;
He had nothing at all fl to eat or to wear;
He knew he was wretched as wretched could
be;
There was no one so wretchedly wretched
as he!
HIS OLD AGE.
He Fl nds he has SORROWS more deep than his
He grumbles to think he has grumbled tor

He grumbles to think he has grumbled away
His home and his children, his Iife's little
day;
But, alas! it's too late it is no use to say
That his eyes are too dim and his hair is too
gray;
