MAN TURNING TO STONE.

George w. Lewis, of Cross Keys, N
j., is gradually turning to stone. and
mi hit in one sense be called walking
monument.
Mr.. Lewis, who is forty-6ve years
| old, reslizas that there is little hope fol
him. and Is making the best possible
use of what little time there may be YET
for bin 10 which to move about. His
case is a remarkable one, and has thus
far bsff ID the skill of mauy physicians
of New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Lewis about seven years ago
found that his fingers were beginning
to get stiff and that he could move tn, m
cnly with ficulty. The stiffness be
gan 10 move up his arms. and soon from
the elbow down, the flesh began to
harden.
The arms are now useless. The
skin is drawn tightly over the bones.
the suews are contracted and the hands
are like marble. The prick OF n pin or
needle is not felt, nett her does q cut
show any blood whatever. 10 feet, MIR.
Lewis has little blood, and his Il ,sh Is
yearly white, with marble cast.
Mr.. Lewis feet and lower limbs be.
gan TO stiffsn and harden two years
ago, and also are gradually becoming
useless. The skin on his face ia also
drawing tightly over the bones and at
the present rate of progress OF the dis
ease, Mr.. Lewis says, he will soon turn
"a stone.
Mr.. Lewis attributes his condition
primarily TO nervous trouble, but 10 not
positive on this point. He was an in.
yeierate smoker some years ego, and
links this may have been the cause OF
ais nervousness. While he still sufiers
from nervous trouble he believes his
condition In this respect Is not so bad
as it was two years ago.
Anoiher remark able fact about Mr..
Lewis is that he z to no sleep, and, in-
deed, does not seem to need 1t. For
weeks at a time he does not close his
eyes. During the day his attention is
occupied by happenings at bis store,
AID at night he sits up and resds. de
SAYS be has gone month without
moments sleep.
Before bis feet began to stiffeD, and in
summer weather, he would 90 out for
walks ct all hours of the night. He
low ests as little as he sleeps; is nevt I
1ungry, and can 90 several days with
out food.
Mr.. Lewis has been in several hospi'
tals, where, after. thorough examina-
ton. he has been told there is no hope
for him. Neither could the doctors
solghten him as to bis condition.
Mr.. Lewis's mind is not affected in the
least. He is a ready conversationalist,

Quite ripple of excitement was ocoa-
stoned at the Bow County Court, Lon
doc, last week by mau who, having
leen jllted by the lady Of his choice
after he had pure 1asad manv of their
household goods, proceeded to bare bis
2rieiin rhyme. To the amusement OF
hose in the courtroom the sorrowinR
swain said: II bought the goods, the
house to pack she broke it of, my goods
now want back" Despite the
plaiutifl's uOique manner of pleading
mis- case, the unfeeling Judge cruelty de-
cided that the lady need not re urn the
gifts involved. The unexpected YER
dict completely overwhelmed the
unhappy man for q few moments, and
then he said: "Why, your Honor, fol
three long years we courted, and then
she threw me o'er," and was ready to
spring more in similar strain, but the
hesrtIess judge just then cried, Isl.

Bookmsker Donald Mitchell, who op-

one night last week in San Francisco
and when he left the table he was
Sll COZ to the bad. Two other book
makers, Billy Shannon and Joe Har'

The book ms k er's sst down after dinner
aud the click of the chips was heard
all night. The ante was $25. but this
was a small item compared with some
of the bets made while the cards were

beaten several times, and each time it
cost him bunch. Harlan stood sew

got bis card and came back heavily.
Mitchell made q fortune running Q

ne could beat any one 10 San Francisco

he said
MY opinion is that the tobacco grow

as the lawyers and bankers and teachers
do and be in a position to send represen-
tatives 10 protect their interests as all
business and professional men do.
Il would like for the farmers to write
TO the Register and give public eNpre9-
sion TO their views as 10 the propriety OF
holding Farmers convention in the city
Of Danville soon, to discuss the situation
and to organize, so as to be in a position
to protect their interests, as other people
are doing. Some years ago, fourteen
million CT POUNDS of tobacco sold for
three millions Of dollars on the DanyIlie
market Now it takes $4,000 600 Gorty-
six millions) of pounds to bring (300O,-

A FATAL RUNAWAY.
Little Boy Thrown From Wagon and His

(Kinston Free Press.)

tklnSton Free FreSS-)
Mrs. J. f. Jarman, of Kinston, received
a message from Seven Springs yesterday,
that her brother. Master Job Jackson,
son OF Mr.. Curtis Jackson, of near Seven
Springs. had been killed in runaway.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jarman left Immediately
for her fathers.
We learn that the little boy aged about
II years. was hauling rails from field
20 his home. He was unloading the rails
when one of the horses became frightened
and began plunging. This frightened the
other horse and they both started to run
around the yard. The boy was thrown
down in the wagon, where he was pitched
from side to side until the horses ran into
a tree, throwing the boy out, his head
striking the tree. He was dead before
his father reached him-his neck being
broken.
The little fellows face was a mass o.
bruises. and there We're several CASTLES On
his cheeks There was a large hole in his
right side, where he was probably pierced
by rail.

EATING OUT THE HEART"

The divorce bill which passed the House
has met with more general and hearty ap-
prevail than any action of either body OF
the General Assembly. The bill is spec
ial order in the Senate today 1t is to be
hoped that it will pass that body exactly
as it passed the House and thus become a
law of the State. The growing laxity of
divorce laws in this State has alarmed
thoughtful people who wish to return to
the law that prevailed at the time of the
adoption of the Code. It is not only here
but elsewhere that the divorce evil is
calling for protest. Rev. DR.. Wylie, pas
tor of the Scotch Presbyterian church in
New York City. in his Sunday morning
sermon, voiced the feeling of most
thoughtful men when he said:
divorce is fruitful source of misery.
Anything that makes it easy to dissolve
the marriage relationship is a menace
TO civilization. The easy dissolution of
the marriage tie is one Of the black spots
in our civilization.
divorce is eating out the heart of the
home in America. It is a disgrace TO our
American life and craftsmanship that
there are SO many conflicting laws on this
subject; and it is a great qualification to
know that commissions exist in the ma
jority of our. States looking toward uni-
form marriage and divorce law. This is
a bright spot in dark sky. and the whole
movement is one of promise. More and
more attention is at present given to the
subject OF the family. Since easy divorce
laws are responsible for many of the
fragrant evils which afflict our present
civilization. intemperance, illiteracy, sem
suality and suicide. we hail every move
mcnt which looks towards better condi-
ton of affairs
