THIRTY-sEvEN THE FATAL AGE

THIRTY SEVEN THE FATAL AGE.
st. Louis Republic.
| An examination OF the records Of the
| United states Government Shows that
more people die at the age of thirty
seven than at any other. Likewise ut
that age more caamities Oyertake people
than at any other.
But what is true of this country Us
also true of other countries. History is
! fuli or examples in point.
AT the age Of thirty a great sor-
row hefell Aristotle viz: the death OF
Plato, his friend and teacher, with whom
he had studied for nearly twenty years,
This sorrow plainly showed Its effects up
ON his future life and 70 1t may be attfi-
buted the sad tone OF his later writings.
At the age of thirty-seven Lord Byron
died of fever in Greece, As LORD Bea-
constield says he was greater as man
than as a writer and his loss TO the
world was a great blow TO II"
Raphael, the glory of ltalian art, died
ut thirty-seven. lie fell sick week be-
fore his birthday of cold and fever and
died on that day, Good Friday. In him
the world lost one of dts greatest artists.
In music, like art and poetry, England
lost her greatest composer at the age Of
thirty-seven. Purcell, the most distin-
guished musician Britain produced, died
within few days after attaining his
thirty-seventh year. The regard in
which he was held in England placed
him on u par with Milton in epic poetry,
with Shakespeare on the stage, Locke in
metaphysics, and Sir Isaac Newton III
philosophy and mathematics.
At the age of thirty-seven. too, Eng
land lost military genius that she re-
garded as of the highest rank and prom
Use. Prince Henry of Battenburg died
of fever in Ashantee in that year of his
life.
PASCAL, too. died at thirty-seven, but
why seek more Illustrations? These arc
sufficient to illustrate the fatality Of the
age among geniuses. Where death failed
misfortune often befell.
SO the age of thirty-seven may be re-
garded as the fatal age of all those after
a man passes his majority.

INERRIETY..A DISEASE

Inebriety, morphine and other drug
addictions are dependent upon a diseased
condition of the nervous system. The
victim of the disease again and again
puts forth the most heroic efforts to re-
form, but his disease is too absolutely
overpowering to be conquered by reso-
lutions. The will-power he would ex-
ercise if he could is no longer supreme.
Alcoholic stimulants have so congested
the delicate nerves that they cannot re-
spond to the performance of their func-
tional duties, and the helplessness of the
victims condition is as inexplicable to
himself as it seems inexcusable to his
friends. The Kelley treatment cures
this disease by restoring the nerves to
perfectly healthy state. 1t cures by
removing the cause. The result is that
by condition, and he has neither craving,

A NOVEL PROPOSITION.

The proposal to cali together the full
board of directors of the State Prison to
hear one side of the case of Mr.. Lewis
Summerell. charged with being RESPONSE
BILE for sundry freezing and maimings
on Northampton farm, is possessed of
a racy novelty that is calculated TO make
the State stare and gasp.
Summerelfs witnesses have been
heard. and Summerell himself. before
two committees especially deputed to
take testimony. He has admitted the
worst of the charges made against him
on the stand. Practically every respect
able newspaper in the State has demand
ed his removal every intelligent man
has had irrefutable proof of his guilt.
The evidence in the case is in writing
mittee of the board. The committee,
through Capt. Days vote and influence,
was tie on the question of dismissing
Summerell.
Now what is the bland proposition
That the whole board shall be called to-
gether in solemn conclaye-to hear the
evidence in the case? Not by any
means; to hear Summerell's side of it.
II the board of directors of the State
prison will so into full and complete
hearing of the case will visit the farms,
take the evidence of both sides, and go
to the bottom of the matter, well and
good let it be done.
But the proposition. at this late day,
to create new system Of judicial pro-
cedure for the benefit of Lewis Sum
merell, that of hearing evidence only
on one side, is scandalous and ridiculous
in about equal proportions. Let the
State be spared this last and sorriest
farce. 1t is not apt to be worth the
price of admission.

Don't go into cotton futures. What
will it profit the South if the small crop
sends up the price and Southern men
lose as much in future speculation! The
South as a whole does the losing. Nine
tenths Of the time merchants who have
failed in Eastern North Carolina since
the war owe this failure to Specializing
in futures. Don't do it. Put your
money in cotton mills and other in
dustries.

Raleigh can have the proposed knitting
mill at work, giving employment TO more

WHY not? 1t would be fine Christmas

The establishment of warehouses at

that the farmers ought to encourage. If
the cotton growers will hold their crops
so that as much is sold in June as No
vember, they will come nearer securing
its real value than they can hope to do by
rushing it all on the market in the fall.
The spirit of cooperation between farm
ers, merchants and bankers, looking to
the storage of cotton so it can easily be
held, means much to the South.
