Precipitation is almost peculiar to men,
monkeys and horses. Horses sweat all
over the body and so do human beings,
but monkeys, it is said, sweat only on the
hands, feet and face. The use OF perspir.
alton is mainly to cool the body by its
evaporation, although it is generally be-
lieved that waste materials are also ex-
GREETED through the sweat glands when the
action of the XII dneys is interfe1ed with.
In animals that perspire but little, the
cooling of the body is affected by evapor-
alton from the lungs, as we see in the
case of painting dog.
The amount of perspiration varies
greatly, according to the temperature of
the surrounding air, the condition of
health, the degree Of exercise taken, the
amount of fluid imbibed etc. The aver
age amount of perspiraton Is thought to
be about two pints day, but th is is, of
course, much increased in hot weather.
In damp weather evaporation from the
skin is 1essened, and so one seems to per-
spire more profusely than in dry weather;
but this is only apparent, for really
perspiratiOn is lessened when the atmos-
phere is charged with moisture.
HyperhidrOsis is the medical term us ed
to denote an abnormal increase in per-
spiration. This increase may be general
from the entire body, or confined to some
particular part, as the face, the hanus or
the feet. Pro fuse sweating Is very COM
mon in cases of debility and in excessive
~ stout persons, 1t occurs also in con
nection with various diseases, such as
(night sweats), pneumonia.

nervous disorders. Sudden emotion NAV

The opposite condition, a great dimfnu-

ENERAL PALMER'S DECISION.
Boston Herald. y

The announcement by Gen. John M.
Palmer of Illinois, who was the cand1-
date for President of the gold Democrats
four years ago, thai he shall vote for Nc
Rinley this year, properly and logically
follows the late formal winding up in
New York of the affairs of the gold DEM
Ocratic party. Those who were members
Of it must go somewhere. Some of them
have gone backward to the Organized
Democracy, which seemed to them wholly
uncomfortable four years ago. The major
ity we believe, win vote with the Re-
publicans this year. Such a course is
consistent with the Indirect aid given by
their action four years ago. They con-
t1nue on the same line of political use
fulness, and for the same reasons. They
do not turn back, they march on.

CURRENT COMMENT.
OF NATIONAL IMPORTANCE.
(Boston Advertiser.

Now that it is certain that practically
all of the states of the South where the
negro vote is large will not allow that
vote to be cast, under existing or contem
plated franchise conditions, the problem
becomes of national Importance. 1t is
not partisan question, for if Democrats
in the southern states have carried out
the idea, the Republicans at Washington,
in control of the federal power, have
hitherto refused to interfere with the
movement. The Acknowledgement of
southern negroes is in deliberate defiance
of the federal constitution 1t rests
with the people of the United States to
say whether this defiance will be en-
dorsed or punished

clares that the German Emperor did not
command his soldiers to give no quarter,
in his speech to the regiment departing
for China. He says the Emperor
used no language that could fair

such thing. He intimates that that
sentiment was put into his speech by

CAPT. SHAW IN lENOIR.
Speaks to Over 1000 People at Deep
Run, Carrying Conviction to the
Hearts of His Hearers.

From the kinston Free Press we
take the following:
Lenoir county Democracy had a field
day in Trent township Tuesday when
Captain w. B. Shaw told the gospel of
White Government to over 900 people.
The weather washo and the people were
busy housing tobacco, but they came
out by hundreds and brought dinner for
all, and to spare.
Some came the night before and camp
ed on the field. Daylight brought more,
until by l l O'Clock the grove around the
old Deep Run meeting house looked like
the scene OF Georgia campmeeting.
Capt Shaw spoke for over an hour
The people listened with the deepest in
terest throughout his whole address. No
orator in the State can secure the atten-
ton of our people better than Capt.
Shaw, and we believe that no man has
done more effective work for the amend
ment than he has done here in our county.
His earnest manner and convincing ora
tory carry conviction with them. His
eloquent peroration, i'll which he depicted
the terrible fate of the traitor to his
country and to his people, the man who
would sell his principles for gain, drove
home his calm and dispassionate argu-
ment with stunning force. Altogether it
was great plea for Democracy and the
cause of White Supremacy.

the failure to disrupt the Democratic
party by every falsehood known,
they were enraged, and their rage in
creased as they saw the Democrats in
solid line when the campaign had
gotten under way good and the mists
had been cleared away. But this is
nothing compared with their chagrin
and disappointment when they beheld
the beginning of large exodus from
their ranks of the best and most
honorable men of their party. The

Mr.. PITTMAN THE WINNER.
He Captures the 500 Historical Essay
Prize Offered by Gen. Carr.

Some time ago Gen. j. S. Carr offer
ed 800 prize for the best sketch Of
any decade of North Carolina history
between 1882 and 1882. The offer was
open to any resident of North Caro-
lima, the requirements being that the
article should be typewriter, neatly
done, and not exceed 10, 900 words,
conform to certain standards of liter
airy merit, and possess the qualities
to interest and instruct, etc.
Among those who submitted papers
was Mr.. Thomas NJ. Pittman, of the
Henderson bar. His sketch embraced
the decade between 1882 and 1924
very interesting period in the history
Of the State. A letter from the North
Carolina Publishing Society, to whom
all papers were referred, informs Mr..
Pittman that he won the prize, a fact
upon which he is to be heartily con-
graduated. Mr.. Pittman is not only
one of the ablest lawyers in the State
but he is also one of the most graceful
and felicitous writer's as well. And
especially is he admirably equipped
and well qualified to write or speak of
North Carolina history.
Aside from the pleasure which the

1T IS WELL WITH THE CHILD

Another Bright and Beautiful Bud of
Humanity Transplanted from this
Earthly Garden to Blossom Afresh
in Heaven.
The death angel has again been
busy, sorrow has invaded another
happy home and grief sits enthroned
in the hearts of those who have been
sorely eereft by his visitation.
little Annie Young, infant daughter
and only child OF Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph
S. Burwell, died after a brief illness
Sunday morning, aged about one
year When the young die ere they
have become acquainted with sorrow
or know the sin of the world, or when
the very aged weary and careworn lay
down their burden after well spent
life we do not usually experience such
poignant grief as under other cir
cumstances. But in the death of this
little child there is much to stir the
depths of sorrow and move the tear OF
sympathy Never was there fairer
human flower nor one the object OF
more lavished human love. Little
Annie was the idol of her parents and
the pet of every one. She was sim
gularly beautiful and bright child for
her age and gave hope of occupying
shining position in the world, in
society and in the church. But the
golden bowl is broken, the sweet in
cense of precious young life is dis
sipated and fondest hopes are shat
tered. And yet it is better SO for we
know it is we'll with the child.
The funeral was held from the
Church of the Holy Innocents at 6
o'clock Monday afternoon, the Rev.
Julian E. Ingle conducting the service.
At Elmwood Cemetery the little body
was tenderly laid to rest by loving
hands amid bank of flowers.
