Senators From That District.

Major James w. Wilson, of Morgan
ton, is in Raleigh for the first time since
his long illness. His friends were glad
to see that he had completely recovered.

the West" said Major Wilson. The
Republican Senatorial convention met
at Marion this week and nominated
young Mr.. Null, of Burke, for the Sen
ate He is the young Republican law
yer who was defeated by John Ii. Pear
son for the House in 1896. Only Repub-
leans from Mcdowell Burke and Cald-
well were present. The district is enti-
tied to another Senator, to come from
Mitchell or Yancey. The Republicans
of Mitchell, which county is this year en-
titled to the Senatorship, will not let a
Populist be nominated They will de-
mand and get straight Republican.
There is no room to doubt that the Dem
ocrats will elect both Senators.

LINE.
NIorehead City Pilot.)

Since the colored troops have been in
camp at Fort Macon, several of the
white hucksters have been going over to
the camp with watermel0ns and other
fruits to sell to the soldiers, but since
the white people of this community have
complained so much of the lawless con
duet of some of the scoundrels from the
camp, Col. Young has drawn the line
against them, and now no white person
is allowed TO enter the camp-for any
purpose-that privilege being allowed to
the colored people exclusively.

foolish II she does not take advantage
of iris generous offer of ASST tanOe.

Perversity of Inanimate Things,


"This talk about inanimate things
taking matters into their own hands
and defying human Intervention is all
bosh," said the Professor when he met
few Of his German friends in a Chene
grocery the other evening.
How about cards?" asked the par
ticularly large man who never stopped
putting at his pipe except to take sip
Of beer. They take matters into
their own hands on occasions, and you
cannot change them, try as you may"
Nothing to it. Nothing to it at ALL"
See here, professor" interrupted the
man with a wooden leg and an ugly
scar on the side of his face, explain
this to me. There was an engine on
the G. & P. that was blown up three
times and the boys called her the hoo
doc. The management ran her into
the works, had her partially rebuilt
and changed her number from Is to
IS. l took her then and the second
trip out she ran me halfway through
a heavy passenger train, from the rear.
That's how l lost so much of myself.
During the WHOLE time she was in COM
mission there WAS not another engine
on the road that got into trouble. I
say it was not all chance, and that the
cantankerous engine was possessed of
the devil"
ut seems to me that the quality of
our tobacco is deteriorating since the

The Blue Crab.

While the blue crab is not commonly
thought Of as swimmer, and does, in
fact, spend the greater part of its time
on the bottom, yet 1t can very easily
sustain itself in the water and swim
at very fair rate OF speed. 1t swims
endwise, and when swimming it car
ries one big claw thrown forward and
bent back at the middle joint, making
a point projecting at that end Of the
body, while the other big claw trails
straight out astern. II 1t changes d.
recton 1t crooks the claw it had been
carrying straight and let's the other 60
free. If it sustains itself in the wa.
ter without progressing it carries its
big claws in front Of itself as it would
naturally do under ordinary circum-
stances on the bottom, but it has to
keep It's little claws in motion to sus-
tain itself, and in swimming the little
claws are kept actively at work. Be-
sides making good degree Of progress
through the water In swimming, the
CIdb Cdu Sudu6C lLS COuTSc OF
swim to higher or lower level with
facility. When frightened the blue
crab moves off sideways. but when
moving about at home and undis-
turbed it may move straight forward.
Its body may be inclined at any angle
to the line of progress, but its mo-
ton still be forward, the big claws
carried crooked around In front. 1t
may be seen moving thus in one of the
larger tanks at the Aquarium, in which
there are blue crabs, Holsters, and other
things. The temperature of the water
now Just suits the crustaceans, and
they are very lively. Blue crabs may
be seen swimming here, and also walk
ing about, stepping down from stones
that are as high as they themselves are
wide with perfect dignity, If not grace
of manner, and walking on, carrying
their claws before them.
