All Cheese IL Den.ely Populated

All Cheese IL Densely Populated.
Professor Adametz, who devoted con-
siderable time to the study Of the fra
grant subject, said that the population
of an ordinary cheese when a few
weeks old Is greater than the number
of persons upon the earth.
Professor Adametz made some inter-
esting researches dealing with the mi
mute organisms found in cheese. From
a microscopic examination Of a soft
variety Of Gruyere cheese he obtained
the following statistics: In fifteen
grains Of cheese, when perfectly fresh.
from 10000 to 100000 microbes were
found, and when the cheese was sew
enty days old the population had in
creased to 100000 in each fifteen
grains. An examination of a denser
cheese at twenty-five days old proved
it to contain 100000 in each gram
about fifteen grains) and when forty
five days old 100000 in the same
small particle.

Thunder.

Winter thunder is considered through

April thunder is considered to be very
beneficial. In Devonshire and other
cider counties of England there is a
saying that "when it thunders in April
you must clean up the barrels''-in
readiness, that is, for a plentiful crop
of apples.
The French consider April thunder
to be indicative of a good yield from
their vineyards and cornfelds.

WHAT DID lie DO WITH THE
MONEY?

The attempt Of the attorneys of Mar
cure for him a lighter sentence by sub
mission for simple ENLIGHTENMENT ought
not to succeed. He was an official of the
State handling the states funds, and
he embezzled larse amount OF the
States money-how much is not yet
known. 1t may reach $4,000 or may
be less than $4,000, but it is large
sum and his act was clearly in violation
of Section 1015 of the Code, and 1T is TO
be hoped that the punishment will be
visited upon him as a public ofhclal
and not as an individual embezzler. IL
he is convicted under Section 1Ol5, the
punishment is he shall be fined not
less than ten thousand dollars. or I'M
prisoned in the penitertiary not less
than twenty years, Or both, at the dls-
erection of the court" If punished I'M
der section 1914 or 1915 as his attorneys
desire, Martins punishment would not
be so great Martin WIS IAN officer,
agent or employee of the State and
Section 1015 applies TO him.
What did Martin do with the money
he stole? Did he give it to churches and
charity as he claimed, OF did he use it
in a way showing that there is no call
for. clemency or mercy in his case?
What did he do with it? DO the gem

tation know Let US know to what use
the States money was applied before

the appointment of Harry Skinner or

such appointment would postpone the
day of "a respectable Republican party

said:
with Russell or Skinner given a Fed

continued, and instead of getting big

exhibit at the South Carolina and West
India Exposition to be neld at Charles
ton next winter. The progressive people
of that historic city have taken hold or
the Exposition with an enthusiasm and
well directed zeal that IS guarantee OF
success. The sectional policy pursued
by the National Congress of making
large appropriations to Northern Elk
positions and denying a small appro-
priation to the Charleston Exposition,
instead of dampening the ardor of the
promoters, seems to have stimulated
them to the highest effort. The Expo
sition will be a credit to the South and
the South will rally to make it repre-
sentative of Southern progress in all

EFFECTS OF IMPEACHMENT
TRIAL

EFFECTS OF IMPEACHMENT
TRIAL.
Wilmington Messenge,
One of The wisest coolest headed
most upright and genuine Democrats
in the Legislature in private letter,
gives his views of the effect of the trial
of the two judges aad believes it viii
he wholesome and benefcial to North
Carolina. In this he is by no means
alone. for all about sensible, well-bal-
anced men are saying the same thing.
1t is money we'll spent. Gentlemen OF
the judiciary will be more circum-
spect. more careful as to what they say
and do in the future. There is no an
tiquated, exhausted theory in North
Carolina that the judge can do no
wrong. He may be very ignorant, very
unfair, very biased, very unfaithful'
But let us give a few sentences from
our judicious and observant friend:
Il feel that the trial Will be of great
benefit to the State. although it did not
result as l thought I ought to. / am
inclined to think that il will save the
amendment. as there were influential
Democrats who defended the judges
and all of these viii understand that
their own salvation and safety will de-
pend upon inducing the judges not to
trouble the amendment. | hope these
things may be strong enough to deter
them. / also think that one of the di-
rect results o. the trial will probably
be the disconuinuance Of the prosecu-
ton against the Democratic registrars.
In addition 10 this it viii cause the
people Of the State to examine more
closely the conduct Of the public Of
ficials, and will have 8 tendency to
make the officials themselves more
careful. If | am right in these views
the trial will be worth d hundred fold
more than t has cost the people of the
State "

IN NO HURRY.

The private soldier IN the Philippines,
when he is enabled 80 take off his uni
form and talk with freedom, is apt to
tell more chunks of truth in ten minutes
than you can get in the official reports
in a month. The Kirston Free Press
has this item:
MIR. J. B. Ballard who left Kinston
about fifteen months ago to enlist in the
army in the Philippines, has just re-
turned to Kinston, coming direct from
Manila. When asked as to what he
thought of the capture of Aguinaldo,
he expressed the opinion that he could
have been captured long before now had
the authorities really wanted him. He
thought some of the big army officials
were drawing too fat salaries to SO
quickly end the affair"
It has always seemed funny that TO-
900 men, with unlimited money at com
mand, could not capture Aguinaldo.
Can it be that Mr.. Ballard gives the
reason for the long delay?
