A Swiss factory inspector reports
that two years ago company OF
workmen objected to an improved
ventilating apparatus because it would
breed rheumatism. This summer the
same laborers refused to go to an
other building because 1t lacked that
ventilating apparatus. Since these men
seem to have learned useful lesson,
why not import them to America and
distribute them about the country as
church janitors? An Ohio minister
recently had to stop his sermon while
two fainting women were carried out.
An investigating stranger afterward
discovered that the janitor had nailed
the new memorial windows so that
they could not be opened. because his
occasional substitute had a bad habit
OF trying to air the church!

There may be much scientific and
literary sympathy between nations
which are politically uncongenial.
There is current medical proverb
in Europe that when a thing is veri-
fed on the banks of the Spree, as
we'll as on the banks OF the Seine,
that is, when Berlin and Paris agree,
there must be something in 1t. So
much has been added to our knowl-
edge OF the physical history OF the
race by study and experiments in
France and Germany. that the proverb
is worthy to be remembered when the
political relations of the two coun-
tries are in question. Moreover. it is
net best for the world to emphasize
the fraternizings rather than the
arrangements of the nations?

AN AGED EX-~HERIFF.

Harnett county being the birthplace
OF the editor of THE CoMMoNwEA H, it
is but natural that he should be utter
ested in men and things in that good
county. Below We give a news: item
concerning one Of the princely old
gentlemen of that county, the hospi-
talities of whose home We enjoyed
yeas ago. And though many of our
readers do not know Mr.. JOHNSON, the
uniqueness of the item will make 1t
interesting. The Democratic Banner
of Dunn SAYS:
"Ex-Sheriff Jas. A. johnson. the
first sheriff Harnett ever had, was in
Dunn Monday, and paio us a pleasan,
call. He has not visited Dunn before
in eleven years and he expresses grea,
surprise at the wonderful growth and
thrift of our town. He is rs year.
old and seldom ever goes this far from
home. He is one of the FIVE commit
teemen that laid off the line of Hair
nett between the four counties that
join near Dunn, and he himself marked
the tree in Mingo that shows the cor
ner OF the four Counties. Mr.. johnson

WORK FOR THE Extra SESSION.
The suggestion made in these let

ernor Russell might be Induced to call
the General Assembly in extraordinary
session, az provided by law, and thus
relieve the situation somewhat, espe-
ciany with reference to meeting the
expenses NECESSARILY incident to an
extra session if held, as now scheduled.
as an adjourned session, was widely
discussed here.
All agree that it would be a happy
solution of the matter, and not few
subscribe to the writer's opinion, viz {.
that Governor Russell might be IN
duced to call 1t. OF course there would
necessarily have to De an understand
Ing and arrangements perfected ac-

YET expressed himself On the subject,
nor is he likely to do SO unless ap-
preached more directly. whether
that will be done by the proper par

THE AMENDMENT AN EDUrA.
TOR.

As soon as the amendment to the
Constitution was proposed, whereby
men would be required to read their
ballot to vote, THE COMMONWEALTH
said that such a measure would be the
greatest impetus over given to educa-
ton in North Carolina.
And now, three months before the
election, which will almost certainly
declare for the amendment, we see our
prediction coming true. This morn
ing we saw AMI old colored man whose
hair and beard are heavily frosted with
gray, carrying in his pocket a "blue
back speller." The conclusion was
real y that he perhaps was going 20 do
his best to learn to read, or see to it tn at
some enc else should do it..
And in all candor and kindness oil
feeling we say to the colored people
that this old mans example is worthy
their emulation. No use to waste time
and money against the amendment. I;
will be carried with a big majority, and
the wise colored man will have nothing
to do with the fight against it,

men closed their doors and large
crowd eagerly listened for two hours
to the excellent speeches. Many were
so enthused with his thrilling speeches
that they met him at each appoint

The people were anxious to hear the
truth, and the unanimous verdict Is
that Chairman Simmons sent the right
man.
"Negro domination and insolence"

about by the division of the white men
was vivldly pictured by this speaker.
the speaker showed that he knew
what be was talking about. He also
clearly showed that the actions of the
Republican party affecting the rights
of the poor illiterate white men and
Confederate soldiers Was not in keep
ing with the Republican profession OF
love for white men.
He dwelt at length and with great
effect upon the educational feature OF
the proposed amendment. He urged
the Democrats and white men to active
effort in behalf of the amendment.
His eloquent, pathetic appeals In be-
half OF the white people of the East
thrilled his audience, and many Pop
ul.sts and some Republicans renowned
their allegiance to their party and
placed "White Supremacy" buttons on
their coats, declaring they were going
to vote for the amendment and the
Democratic ticket. No speaker il do
