The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1898-10-20

The Democratic machine and
press has conducted the most
vigorous campaign Of lying and
SANDER Of which it is capable.
It has large capacity in thst line.
and has exerted it to the utmost.
Blu. down in Georgia there is
Dem ocra,ic machine and press
that even can surpass the outfit
Of this State in lying and defama-
ton. This statement may be
hard for North Carolina people
to believe, blu, it is a fact.
The Democratic machine OF
this State called on the Georgia
Democratic press to come "to the
assistance and "rescue" of its
associate North Carolina LIARS
and LooTERs. The people-the
honest, brave people of this State
had them down. They could do
nothing. They were condemned,
repudiated and whipped, and
they could never again get con-
troll Of the State withou, help.
Well, the Georgia gang came
to the "rescue' Of the Liars and
Looters Of North Carolina in the
shape ofthe Atlanta Constitution /;
and the Constitution is just simply
showing its North Carolina gang
some new points in the matter OF
defaming, slandering and lying
about people who have the pluck
and intelligence to whip a dis
repertable Democratic machine

A BANQUET AT SILVA.

Guests PrOfuscly SprinISIcd with
Rose Water After the Meal.
There were several round tables
placed down the middle of the room;
candles burned in candlesticks, all of
which had been imported from Cairo
at a fabulous cost, says the Geographic
cal Journal. Lamps of olive oil were
also about the room. The food was
more than abundant. A whole sheep
stuffed with rice, raisins and pistachio
nuts; soup, chicken, vegetables sue
ceeded each other. Then came trays of
delicious fruit-the trays made Of
woven date-fiber; the fruit, the de-
licious black grapes, figs, small va
riety of watermelon, sweet lemons,
pomegranates and mandarins.
Our host did not sit down, but di-
rected the servants, who were most
likely slaves. There is still some traffic
in slaves from Kura, the price of these
being a small roll of blue and black
cloth, such as the natives wear. fancy
most of the Swans dislike of admit
ting Christians to their town is the
dread that their slave trade will be in
ton during the meal, for anyone to
talk would have been a disregard for
the other more important function of
eating.
After a long dinner we rose and
washed our hands in brass basins, with
water poured out of ewers. Then all
sat on divans round the room. A SER
want then walked round, showering
rose water over us so literally that an
other had to follow with towel and
wipe us dry, and while he did this
third stuffed us with incense. This I'M
pleasant ceremony cost our host large
sum, for rose water imported from
Egypt becomes of fabulous value and
the servants were unpleasantly liberal
in dispensing It.

HOW TO PRINT A BOOK.
Cannot he Taught I'm an Essay or a
Volume.

How properly to plan or print book
is not to be taught in an essay or even
in a volume. AS well try to give a
formula for the painting of picture or
the writing of a poem, says the Outlook.
1T must be presupposed that the planner
of new book is familiar with we'll
printed books, that he has some knowl-
edge of the processes of printing and
that he will take counsel with experts.
Refusal to seek this counsel often leads
to serious consequences.
An author who insisted on being his
own publisher began an extensively IL
lustrated quarto before page was put
in type by ordering the fuH-page illus
trations to be printed in an improper
position on the leaf. In disregard of an
other protest from the topographic
printer he insisted on faulty margins
about the pages of type. When the
sheets were gathered by the binder the
complete book showed too much back
margin for the type and too little FOR
the illustrations. The binder had to cut
off the backs of the folded sections to
reduce all the print to single leaves and
to resew each leaf by an expensive and
understandable method. So treated,
the book barely passed acceptance. The
lost time, wasted paper, increased cost
and bad workmanship could have been
avoided if the author had formed plan
and counseled with an expert.

SWIMMING OUT WAS EASY.
But the Sergeant Didn't Come Hack
Until Long After Drill.

During brigade encampment year
or two ago at Scarborough, says an
English paper, a certain sergeant, in
conversation within the mess tent one
morning, loudly asserted that re could
swim to a particular big buoy a mile
or more from the shore, and back. Be
ing challenged to ''prove his words"
he was soon bravely breasting the North
sea.
Swimming strongly, he was observed
to reach the aforesaid buoy, scramble
thereon, wave his hands, and then sit
down. AS he, however, continued to
sit there without attempting to move,
and parade time approaching, his COM
rades reluctantly returned to camp,
greatly wondering why he tarried on
the buoy, to be reported "absent from
parade"
Drill done, and the news of our
hero's exploit having spread throughout
the camp, large crowd of officers and
men hurried to the beach, only to see
the aquatic absentee still Gas you were"
out at sea.
Now, convinced that something was
seriously amiss, a rescue party was
quickly rowed to the spot. and dis
covered that the Inflated swimmer was
not dead, but only stuck fast to the
buoy, which had been newly tarred!

He Would Make a Strong Candidate
Against Brucker in the Eighth.
Saginaw. Mich, Feb. 1.-Specal-The
postofiice fight has had tendency TO retard
the early crop of candidates for the republic
can congressional nomination in the eighth
district. Aid. Joseph w. FOrdney's name
has been mentioned as a possible candidate,
but his friends have looked over the situa-
ton very carefully and have come to the
conclusion that 1t would be better for him 10
serve term as mayor of Saginaw, before
aspiring for congressional hOnOrs. Mr..
Fordney, though very popular as the father
of the Court street bridge project, is virtual
ly unknown throughout Saginaw county
and the eighth district, and a term as may or
would make him more logical and posi-
bly, successful candidate. The name of
Hon. Ezra G. Rust, the well known million
aire lumberman, has been mentioned to OPP
pose Congressman Brucker, who will be re
nominated unanimously by the democrats.
Mr.. Rust, 1t is thought, could poll big
vote among the workingmen, as his many
acts of benefcence have made him very dear
to them
1t was also intimated that Referee Wal
ter S. Eddy wanted the nomination but Mr..
Eddy has given out that he is not seeking

yond question, His fitness for the place is
generally conceded. Whether be will be-

MATERIALS OF BIRDS NESTS.
Strange Composition Of Some Odd
SDecimens.

specimens.
The instinct of birds does not compel
them in building their nests to use only
familiar materials. The Literary Dr.
gest translates from a French period
zeal the following examples of birds
facility of adaptation:
A birds nest was found in the suburbs
of Lille that was composed of white
wool and of strips of paper from tele-
graph office where the Morse system is
used situated several miles away.
The bird must have made consider
able number of trips, for the quantity
of paper was large, and it had made a
good choice of material, for everyone
knows that paper is bad conductor of
heat; it holds heat well, and one does
not need to have Travelled around the
world to have found out that on jour-
ney good-sized journal of stout paper,
like the English newspapers, holds heat
as well as blanket.
Near Besancon another nest was
found, made wholly of watch springs,
evidently taken from the factories in
the neighborhood. Here the selection
was less happy, for metals are good con-
ductors of heat. Finally, near a spot
where large st. Bernard dog is kept
was found nest built Of hair detached
from the dogs coat. In this case the
Inspiration was evidently good.

DENTISTRY AT SEA.
And Something Also About the Prac.
tice of Medicine AHoat

titt Oh NACuiCiht
When a sailor on a deep-water ship
has toothache he is likely to go to the
captain. The captain gives him some
thing out of the medicine chest to put
In his tooth, and if that doesn't cure it
perhaps he pulls it, says the New York
Sun. 1t is common thing for sailors
to pull their own teeth. Their method
is to put string around tooth and
pull it; but dental forceps are carried
on deep-water ships; on some vessels
a fair outfit of them. A ship captain
of long experience said that In the
course of his life at sea he had pulled
200 teeth.
The ships medicine chest on large
vessels is like closet or cupboard, with
a glass door, built in the ship. In this
chest the medicine bottles, gilt-labeled,
are arranged on shelves that rise one
above another in receding tiers; it is
practically "a well-appointed little drug
store. There is supplied with the medi-
cine chest a book explaining the uses
of the medicines. The captain is like
ly to have some other book on medical
subjects which he has read and studied,
and he is likely to have had good deal
of experience before attaining the rank
of master OF a ship.
The sailors are generally healthy
men, but, when occasion requires, the
captain prescribes; he is the physician.
Limbs broken at sea are of course set
there, and there might be circum-
stances In which the captain would not
hesitate to perform surgical opera

INDIAN ANTIPATHY TO FISH.
Why Some Tribes Will Not Use Them
Food.


At q recent meeting in Baltimore by
the American Folklore society, DIR.
Washington Matthews, of Washington,
d. c., read paper on "Icthyophobia,"
which he described as an antipathy to
fish. This aversion is especially strong
in the Navajo, Apache and other Indian
tribes of the far southwest, who will
not eat fish nor have anything to do
with articles made in the shape of fish.
This "taboo" with the Navajos extends
to all things connected with water. A
probable reason why no more children
of these tribes are sent east to be edu-
Gated, DR.. Matthews thought, was a
fear that they might be required to
overcome this cherished taboo" super
stition, which is as firmly rooted as
any religion. says the Baltimore Sun.
A legend to account for this fish
"taboo' was given. There was a time
when food was scarce and the mountain
Indians had big pow-wow with the
river Indians. The result was that the
river Indians agreed to kill no deer, but
live entirely on fish, and the mountain
Indians agreed to eat no fish, but live
entirely upon deer. This made food
plenty for both.
In the discussion of the paper it was
stated that the Zuna Indians will not
eat fish because savage tribes in desert
lands regard water as sacred because
of it's scarcity, and this reverence ex-
tends to animal life in water. Several
members thought, perhaps, this idea
conveyed the true reason for the fish
