The commonwealth. (Scotland Neck, N.C.) 1896-1929, 1897-09-09

A good deal has been said In the pa
pers recently about President Andrews
and his resignation from Brown Uni
versity. We find the following inter-
esting facts about him in the New
York Dispatch
DIR. E. Benjamin Andrews, recently
resigned the presidency of Brown Uni
versity at Providence rather than sur
render the liberty Of expressing the
opinions he entertains on a great pub
lie question. DR.. Andrews is one OF
the most ardent, able and conscientious
advocates of the free and unlimited
coinage of silver and has promulgated
his views whenever the occasion offer
ed. The directors of the university
were displeased with his conduct and
virtually demanded silence or resigna-
ton. He chose the latter alternative.
DR.. Andrews is 81 years Of age and
is the son of Baptist clergyman, who
lived at Montague, Mass, but preached
in the town OF North Sunderland.
The fathers salary was 5000 a year.
The son aided in the support of the
family by working Saturdays and holi-
days in a mill. He also bent his ener-
gies and his back to the care OF gar
den patch near the family residence.
He had great fondness for reading
from his earliest youth. He was in
school when the civil war broke out.
He enlisted and served until 1864,
when, after having been severely
wounded at Petersburg, he returned to
New England and finished his educa-
ton at Brown University. Then he
taught in various academies and earn
ed money enough to further educate
himself In Germany. He has been
president of Brown eight years.

SUMMER OF
OPPORTUNITY.
IT PASSES SILENTLY BY.
Some Rambling Thoughts.

10 THE MATURE AND OTHERS The
slight chill In the morning mist, the
changed color of an occasional leaf be-
lore it flutters to the ground, the silenc-
Ing OF the birds, the odor of the even
ing alr-these signs unite, with num-
berless others, to announce that Sum-
mer is nearing its end, and with 1t is
vanishing the opportunity for raising
further crops. Good or bad, well-tend-
ed or neglected, the results will soon be
estimated and the farmer know whether
profit or loss Is the result of his labors.
The wise farmer finds the Autumn at
hand in its due season; the wasteful,
idle one is astonlshed that it Is here so
soon after the Spring days when the
sun summoned vegetation to life. But
gone is the Summer and no voice is SO
loud or so implorlng as to be able to
call it back. One more seed-time and
harvest Is gathered into the eternal and
irrevocable past and the fastening days
move us away from the time of crop
growth forward to the time when the
storms without are de6ed by reason of
the stores within, or the wailings with
out accentuated by the want within.
Up-gather earth's glories while ye may,
For Winter shall sweep their souls
away;
When the fire dies and the light is
gone,
And the ashes shlver pale and wan;
When the afterglow of November fades,
And the winds are the walls of shrouId-
less shades.
For September's days bring a warning
clear,
Which tells that the hour of death is
near,
And the years strong manhood startled
halts,
At the primal chill from the opening
vaults,
And knows that Its voice shall be
stricken dumb, i
And It's laughter 1uifed-t1ll Spring is
come.

Points and Paragraphs Of Things
Present, Past and Future.

Prof. Falb, of Vienna, predicts that
on November 13, 1899, the earth will
be knocked completely out by a comet.
Well, these predictions sometimes give
certain persons uneasiness but to those
who have regard to such predicted ca
lamities, we suggest that If nothing
else takes us from our mundane actlv-
tiles before the comet comes, we shall
have the pleasure of sleeping the long
nights of two winters, and scenting the
fragrance of the flowers of two more
summers. Let us not lose any sleep
this year nor next. Put off uneasiness
about this comets destructive work
until Noy. 12, 1899.
A young man who has tiled "the far
West" sat in The COMMONWEALTH Of
fee few days ago, and told US some
thing of his experience. He said life
out there is all hustle, and hustle, and
dash, and roar and that it Is a good
place for men with money to speculate.
But he said that for young man who
has to depend upon his personal exer-
tions for what he makes, the South is
fully the equal, if not the superior, of
the West. This young man showed
that the "tar on his heel" holds him to
Carolina still, and he came back to make
for himself what he can out OF lite here,
and to help, develop this good State
and its almost boundless resources.
Work as hard here, young men, as you
would elsewhere, and it will pay you as
we'll.

The slackening step, the occasional
feeling of impatience at the frantic and
unreasonable JOY OF children the gray
hair here and there, the brevity of the
years-these are signs that the summer
time of your life Is passing too. You
rub your eyes to see if you do but
dream the message of lessening time
that ever buzzes in your ears. The
shivering sense of protest against the
desperate hurry of Time is the counter
part of that hollow, soughing sound
that seems now to creep through the
woods;
That shuddering breath, which tells
that fire
Is placed to the seasons funeral pyre.
The time of opportunity is passing !;
the time of garnering draws near. In
to that full crop of accomplishments
and OF deeds, which some of you will
rejoice over, are woven the works done
when you we're weary, but done never
theless because time was never known
to return. In your harvest Of plenty
are treasured the duties done because
they needed to be done and not because
they were easy and pleasant. Such
works are there-every one OF them !;
none are lost. And you with wisps
from your own neglected fields of life,
and hands full OF gleanings from
others bounty-the ghosts ofneglected
chances are impalpable in your grasp,
but they are there. Indolent turning
over on fowery beds OF ease hath its
reward, and you begin to see it In
vision-an autumn of regret, winter
of cherries emptiness with nothing OF
honest pride whereon to feed self-re-
spect.

Does the sun make any audible noise
as it peeps over the hlll-tops In the
morning? Does it summon the farm
er to duty with persistent calls and
shakings? No the day comes silently ;
silently does 1t grow and wane, and
silently does it pass and without pro-
test, even If unimproved. The farmers
utilization of time does not originate
from any compelling force in the power
of daylight, but from purpose within
his heart to make the most OF his farm
in the days that the passing seasons
give him. Combining his powers with
the powers of nature that he can con-
troll, the barren place can be made to
flourish, and out OF the parched grounds
come forth food. While the idle farm
ar frets and fumes and grumbles about
rains or wnatnot, the days hurry by
that are giving his neighbor good re-
turns for effort expended. This is sc

lnR AND ITS USES.
No Greater Suffering Than From
 Continued Loss of This Rest.

Sound and healthy sleep is essen tial for state of perfect health and strength. In the August number of the Journal of Hygiene and Herald of Health" Dr. M. L. Holbrook writes of the uses of sleep. Among other things he says:
 Tt is pretty certain that we do not yet know all it's uses, but we know some of them. The waste which goes on continually during labor of any kind is not balanced by every meal we eat. There Is some loss of ma terlal in the blood and in the tissues which is greater than can be repair- ed during labor. Indeed, activity prevents repair in the body from talk ing place, just the same as with a machine. You cannot repair your watch while it is running: you must send it to the watchmaker, and he stops its action, takes it apart and cleans and mends it. The ship Is not repaired when loaded with freight and sailing under high pressure over the ocean waves, but it is sent to the dry dock. It is So with our bodies. They cannot be repaired from the losses sustained during day of
 
 dock of sleep, If I may use such an expression. If the sleep is sound and good, the wis medicatr1x naturae. or the reserve forces of the system, re- store the equilibrium and make the tissues and the blood as good, or al- most as good, as new. If this were not so the very complex and wonder ful body of man would not last long. Nor would there be much comfort in living or value in the work done.
 Experience shows that there can be no greater suffering than from long and continued loss of sleep. Ev- cry one knows how almost worthless he is after Wakefui night, -<lnd how completely he is done up after seY- eral of them in succession.
 Another reason for sleep Is found in the necessity for the removal of certain waste products in the system from broken down tissues. While many of these are removed during our WDAetdl hours, others seem to be removed tonly wlile we are asleep. rhese arg probably the products re- 'sulting frde- brain waste. They are poisonous in their character, and if not removed continue to circulate in the blood and lower the action and tone of the nervous centers."

WHITE LIVER

Is the kind of a liver that mean men are supposed to carry about. A doctor will tell you that no one can live with 6 white liveF- When the liver is at all disordered you are sure to have melancholy fits and to wish to be alone. You will have all kinds of curious fancies and peculiar feelings. If the disorder is only a func- tional ore the liver is easily re- stored to it's normal condition. If the disorder has it's origin in the abuse or dissipation of the man it is not so easily con troaled. Very few family doc tors pay much attention to nervous troubles. As a re- suit the man who is so af- ficted will get no comfort ii he consults his family doctor. This being true, hundreds 9, men are compelled to try oIdCA CuiC AS I6Siill Iu0 Hudyan remedy treatment has been tried by many thousands, and these thousands have been cured. Just 10,J00 men say Hudyan cures. Do you believe them? You can see their statements in black and white. It is a fact.
