Death of Little James Vann
Welsh.

Little James Vann Welsh,
youngest child Of DR.. and Mrs.
5. J. Welsh, of Monroe, was q
Joy to the household of which he
WAS the pet and idol, but love,
even the deep, unfathomable love
Of . mother, is pousrlsss before
stubborn and insIorablo death.
Little James Vann was taken
with Group, the dread di.e.,e Of
childhood, on last Monday and on
Tuesday afternoon, December 10,
1898, the angel Of death relieved
his suferings.
Although death is ineIorsbls
and seemingly cruel yet Hope
can seat herself by the couch
where Death has made his con-
Iuest and look up to heaven and
defy the destroyer, and while the
parents, doting grandfather and
others Of the household, which
has been bersft, grieve because Of
their loss, yet hope whispers that
death shall not forever hold do
minios over flesh and that the
little form which they laid to
rest in the cold ground Yesterday
afternoon will st some time bs
given life again and they shall
nestle him to .loving bosolns yet
again.
Little James Nann was ten
months old. He was very bright
and sprightly. His almost sud-
den death makes it doubly sad for
his parents. But with the little
child it was but . sudden transi-
tion from the life Of earth to tho
Joys Of the home Of Him who
said Suffer little children to
come unto me and forbid them
not, for of such is the kingdom Of
heaven"
Funeral service. we're conduct
ed st DR.. Welsh's residence yes
tsrday afternoon by Rev. 4. A.
Osborne, Of Charlotte, and the
body followed by = large number
Of friends of DR.. and Mrs. Welsh
was carried to the cemetery and

pointed in getting something that
is worthy to be handled by the
best writer's of fiction or romance
however the scenes, persons
and events are a reality. Our
handsome Constable has been
looking after the thieving genera
tion OF Ham and many an offeR-
der has besn brought to Justice by
his watchful wits. But little did
our people expect this watchful
officer would turn to be a rogue
and invade the territory of an
other State and carry away valus-
bic property. The offepse has
been pronounced justifable by
the community at large and the
old North State will hardly be
asked to sign acquisitions for this
rogue to be brought to his terri
tory for trial and punishment. We
don't censurs the Cd bachelor,
for turning rogue under the try
ing circumstances that led him
to be an offender against the peace
and dignity Of his opposers. We
all agree, that all Ia fair in love.

SLEEP AND DREAMS.
How Agassiz Worked Out Scientific
Problem as Related by Himself.

How Agassiz Worked Out a Scientific
Problem as Related by Himself.
The letters on sleep and dreams in
The Spectator remind me OF case in
the experience of Agassiz, and which
he told me himself, though it is record
ed in his work on the American fishes.
He was studying a fossil fish in the
Jardin DIES Plantes, but had never been
able TO determine the species TO his sat
isfaction. After time he dreamed that
he caught the very fish and without diff
fculty determined the question, think
ing, as he woke from the dream, that
he would have no difficulty. But on
returning TO the fossil something in the
dream had escaped him, and he could
no more determine the species than be-
FORE
The next night he had the same dream
and again forgot the essential point.
He then determined to take "A pencil and
paper with him to bed and make his
note as soon as he woke. The dream
came the third time, but to his surprise
ON fully awakening be found the draw
ing made and lying OH the table bed side,
with three bones displayed in it which
were not visible in the fossil, and which
solved the problem. ON returning to the
Jardin DIES Plantes he obtained permits
sion of his friend, the director, to chip
away scale of stone which lay on the
spot where the bones were in the draw
ing, and found them there as his draw.
ing had given them. 1t is 80 years since
Agassiz told me the incident, but those
who have access to his history of the
North American fishes will be able to
read it in his own words in tho intro
duction and correct my version if my
memory has in any detail failed me.

NEWSPAPER REPORTERS.



A very common error Is prevalent
that the work of reporters, given In
newspapers. as rule is not entitled to
respect or credence. 1t is generally as
sumed that the reporter writes chiefly
or wholly TO make sensation or in
some way interest readers without re-
gard 10 facts. while just the reverse is
the truth in all reputable newspaper es-
Establishments.
IL is safe to assume that the state
ments of reporters given in the leading
reputable journals of the country are
quite as truthful as are the general
statements from the pulpit when the
minister gets outside of strictly reli-
gious teachings, and very much more
truthful than are the public expressions
Of most if not all of the leading profess
sions. With very few exceptions the
management of our leading daily news
papers enforce truthfulness and fairness
as the supreme attributes for newspa-
per writer, and yet it is common for all
who are displeased with any reportorial
statement TO say that LISA mere news
paper story"
1t is true that there are few con-
spicuous exceptions to the rule that gov
ems the reputable newspapers of the
country.
Not only are the managers of our
leading newspapers entitled to great
credit for the scrupulous care they in
force ON their reporters and correspond
ents TO present the truth with as exact
fairness as is possible, but the public
little know the ceaseless care that is ex-
eroised in every reputable newspaper
Office TO prevent the publication of even
the truth when it would be more harm
full to publish than to suppress it. There
is not week, indeed hardly day, that
the newspapers of this city do not sup
press the facts proper for public infor-
nation which would make most inter
esting story solely because it would
and helpless and cast an imperishable
shadow upon their lives. With all the
errors necessarily committed in a news
paper Office by reason of the haste with
which the articles must often be prepar-
ed, the public little know with what
thorough integrity the newspapers, as a
rule, protect the innocent even at the
cost of suppressing legitimate and inter
esting information. The skeletons of
hundreds of households are carefully
guarded in the newspaper offices of the
country, and generally without even the
know ledge of the peOple who are TINS
protected. -Philadelphia Times.
