We mammas who heard her only
smiled and answered nothing at all, for
each Of us remembered that she was
young and that there were many, many
things that she did not know.
She did not know that when the
sweetheart had changed to the wife
and the wife to the mother there comes
a Wondrous first time. That first time
that she feels the downy head nesting
under her chin. that first time that she
feels the restless pat, pat Of little feet

her hand she learns then that her life
has burst into new and wonderful
fullness. In her heart there is kindled
the fire Of love, and the incense that
arises from it glorifes the whole at
mosphere, and the warmth envelopes
her and her baby in an everlasting
mantle.
Then in the dim light she sees bend
ing over her the one that she loves best
of all. and she reaches out. her hand to
him to draw him near that he, too,
may come within the enchanted circle;
that he. too, may breathe the sacred
incense and be warmed by the heaven

look together into the new little face,
but no word comes to express the
strange sweet feelings that are surg

The readers Of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages, and that is
catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure known to the medical fra
ternity. Catarrh being a constitutional
disease. requires a constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken in
ternally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surface of the system, there
by destroying the foundation of the dis
ease, and giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and assist
ing nature n doing it's work. The pro-
prletors have so much faith in it's cura-
tive powers, that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails to cure.

SEASlCK ON SEA LEGS.
Officers and Sailors Of the Navy FREE
quentIy Distressed.

Officers and Sailors Of the Navy FIRE.
quentIy Distressed.
"The officers and sailors of the navy
are frequent sufferers from seasick-
ness, even after they have got their
sea legs on observed a naval surgeon
to q reporter. Indeed l think I can
safely say that, young and old, one
third of the entire navy officers as we'll
as men are seasick during storms as
we'll as at other times. In theory naval
officers and sailors are entirely free
from such so called weakness, but, in
fact, they have stomachs and are suf-
ferers at times the same as the rest
Of humanity.
|'The sailor in this respect has many
advantages over the naval officers and
is less sensitive to seasickness for the
reason that he seldom has what is
called shore duty to perform, and he
is on the ship all the time, barring
the days off now and then Of liberty.
When an officer, it is entirely different,
for he seldom has to spend as much
time on the ship as he does on shore.
The three years sea duty are generally
followed by three years shore duty,
during which time his sea legs and
stomach entirely disappear and have
to be built up again.
SIT is rare that an officer on return
to sea duty does not have to go
through all the painful and distressing
experiences of his first seasickness,
and I am not sure but each recurrence
of this experience is worse than the
original l have known a dozen Off
GERS Of from Is to % years experience
in the navy, and know Of at least so
others who admit that they are as liza
BILE to seasickness now as they were
when they were middies fresh from

Tne Fighting s,vordnsh.

The swordfish is utterly without fear
and will, like Il buffalo or rhinoceTos,
charge anything that offends it, often
doing an amount OF execution hardly
to be believed did not the evidence eX-
ist. Combats between swordtish are
most interesting and may be compared
to q duel between two expert swords
men. Such n contest was observed
off the long pier that extends out into
the ocean ut Santa Monica. near Los
Angeles. last year. Some fishermen
noticed two big fish leaping out of the
water and dashing along the surface.
Soon it was seen that they were sword
fish.
The season was when the fish are I'M
usually ferocious. They had made sew
erai rushes and when observed were
ut close quarters, striking each other
powerful side blows like cavalrymen.
This was unsatisfactory, and finally
they separated and darted at each 9TH
er like arrows, the water kissing as
their sharp dorsal fins cut through it.
They evidently struck head on, one
missing, while the sword of the other
struck just below the eye and plowed
q deep fufrow in the fish, partly dis
abling it, so that it turned and attempt
ed to escape. But its adversary also
turned and with a rush drove its sword
completely through the body of it's foe
and held it fast, only wrenching it's
weapon loose when its enemy stopped
swimming San Francisco Call.

The Polite Lie In Embryo.

A little child has given us peep into
the process by which the polite lie is
developed. Mamma was talking to
Effie about the absence Of Edith from
the children'S party.
You are sorry said mamma, that
Edith could not Gomez?
Effie replied, having enjoyed herself,
"Oh. don't mind much"
To which mamma rejoined: But
Edith is ILL., That is why she couldn't
come. You must be sorry Effie con-
sidered. Yes: of course I'm sorry"

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION FOR cUsA
Will be Held September 18th. An Independ-
ent Government to be Established.
lBv the Associated Press.

Washington, July 20.-It is understood
that the President and General Wood
have agreed upon September 18th as the
time for holding the election in Cuba, for
delegates to the Constitutional Conven-
tion that is TO be called for the purpose
of formulating a constitution for an indie
pendent government for Cuba.
On the return OF General Wood to Cuba
he will confer with the leaders of the
Cuban people as to the details Of the
election, and as to what restrictions, if
any, should be placed upon universal
suffrage in the island. 1t is now hoped
that the Constitutional Convention will be
held before the end of the year, and if
possible as early as October 18th.
There is no doubt that any constitution
which may be formulated will be scrutin-
ICED with the greatest care by the Presi-
dent and possibly by Congress before it
is allowed to go into operation, for it is
the settled conviction of the officials that
Cuba should not be permitted to make
treaties with foreign nations except
through the United States, nor should
the people be allowed to involve the
island in debt unless authorized to do so
by this Government.

A SHAMEFUL SCENE
Negro Cursed and Abused an
Old Man.
Result of Incendiary Advice by Bad White Msn,
Many Such Scenes Wi Follow if
the Amendment Fails.
Especial to News and Observer


Elkin, N. c., July 20.-In this section
of the State for the past few months it
has been a matter of comment that the
negroes have become quite insolent and
the cause of this change is to be found in
the fact that they are being backed up
by certain fellows who want office and to
set it do not care what means are used.
Proof positive that some renegade white
men have been putting the devil in the
negroes is shown by a recent occurrence
near Elkin. One day last week a crowd
OF negroes taIIked up with mean whiskey.
went to the house of an aged and re-
spectacle white man named Lyons, who
lives near Rusk, Surry county, and de-
manded that he tell them how he was
golnS TO vote on the amendment. When
he told them that he expected to vote
for the amendment, the negroes got very
mad commenced to curse and abuse the
Old man and kept it up for some time
They finally left saying he had best he
careful how he voted against them. as
they intended to get even with every
white man who voted to disfranchise them
This is the result of white men ad-
-vising negroes to protect their vote at
all hazards and if the white men of the
State allow the amendment to be de-
feated North Carolina will witness many
scenes more shameful than this one

FIRE IN DISMAL SWAMP.
If No Rain Comes soon Thousands of Dollars
Worth of P, operty Will be Destroyed.
(By the Associated Press. }

(By the Associated PreSs.)
Norfolk, Va, July 20.-Weeks of drought
have put a large portion of the Dismal
Swamp in a highly infammable condition
and fires are eating into the timber,
underground and peaty ground at several
points along the Norfolk and Western
railroad. The fires are supposed to have
been started from Norfolk and Western
locomitives. The fires are so stubbOrnly
burning that only a good long, soaking
rain will eXtinguish them. The places
already burned over are so much injured
that often holes six feet deep are scooped
out as if by gigantic shoveis. In former
years sections OF the swamp have beene
burned to the depth of sixteen feet, and
the accumulated rich peaty soil OF CEN
turies has been destroyed If no heavy
rain comes soon there may be heavy losses
in the destruction of standing timber and
soil. The drought has affected the depth
of water in both the Dismal Swamp and
Albemarle and Chesapeake Canals and
some vessels of deep draft have not been
able to get through.

Mr.. Ward Holds His Audience SPELL
Bound.
Especial to News and Observer

Aquone, N. c., July 2O-Eon. ID. L.
Ward, of Newbern, N. c., spoke here to-
day to good crowd Mr. Ward is one
OF the best speakers in the State, and
showed the dreadful conditions of negro
domination in Eastern North Carolina
under Republican rule, which was a very
convincing argument of the necessity for
the adoption of the amendment For
more than an hour he held the crowd
spell bound with his eloquent appeal to
the men of the mountains to help the peo-
pie of the East rid themselves of the igno-
rant and corrupt negro vote. He said a
negro out OF power was a very different
thlng from negro in power. That he
would never forget what happened in
Newbern in 1896, when the news flashed
over the State that the Republicans had
carried the State and nation. The negroes
constituting seven thousand of the citys
population were a surging mass of wild
savages, intoxicated with enthusiasm
over Republican success, that they furled
to the breezes the banner of black rule
as they marched up and down the street
pushing white men and women off the side
walk
He told the people of how Craven coun-
ty had been represented in the Legisla-
ture by the negro Isaac Smith, that a
negro had been county commissioner, a
negro city attorney and that the fusion
Legislature appointed twentyseven ne
gro magistrates. He arraigned Senator
Butler for his duplicity and showed that
his opposition to the amendment was be-
cause he wanted to hold the negro vote
for political purposes His arguments
were clear and convincing that the amend
ment would disfranchise no white man,
Your correspondent is satisfied several
votes were made for the amendment by
Mr.. Wards speech. He has several other
appointments in the West and we feel
sure his speeches will be very effective for
the amendment.

Mr.. WI communicated the dispatch to

soon all Washington was astir with the
intelligence. 1t was telegraphed by Sec
retary Hay to the President, and word of
it was sent to the various Cabinet Off
ces. An impromptu Cabinet conference
was held, mainly for the purpose of ex-
changing congratulations and of talk
ing "a survey of the situation.
After the first flush of thankfulness,
this graver feature of the message began
to impress itself upon Cabinet officials
most deeply
The consultation brought about no pro-
nounced change of policy, for it was felt
that there was absolutely nothing more
that could be done. After all the Cabi-
net officials felt and so stated that the
message was an evidence of friendliness
and good faith OF the pro- foreign ele-
ment of the Chinese and that wisdom die
tated a course which would continue to
utilize this friendship.
The Government accepted the message
as authentic and Secretary Hay transmit

sadors abroad with instructions to lay it
before the respective governments to

upon them the necessity of operation.

WE MUST PROTECT CUR CITIZENS.
Said Er. Bryan Yesterday in an Inter
viWed.
(By the Associated Press. J

Lincoln, Neb., July 20.-William Jen-
nings Bryan gave out today the following
interview in regC-3 to the situation in
China:
Every one deplcres the destruction of
life in China and is Mortified at the bar
barities practiced Every one believes
that it is the duty of our government to
protect the lives and property of Ameri-
can citizens residing in China, and have
no doubt that the administration will do
so. | also take it for granted that all
American citizens will withdraw from
China temporarily or take refuge in some
seaport where they can be protected by
American ships until the excitement is
over. If the Chinese Government has
tried in good faith to protect our citizens,
suitable punishment for the guilty and
reparation and indemnity for those who
have suffered can doubtless be secured If
upon investigation it is found that the
Chinese government had not acted in
good faith, Congress has power to deal
with the matter. For several years Euro
pean nations have been threatening to
dislnember China, and it is not strange
that their ambitious designs should
arouse feeling of hostility toward for
elgners. That feeling, however, ought not
to be directed against American citizens
and will not if our nation makes it
known that it has no desire to grab land
