DEATHS VISITS IN SLEEP.
ADopiexy Frequently Attacks It's Vic
Tins While They sIumber.
From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
The frequent occurrence of apoplexy
during sleep was illustrated in the case
OF Col. Albert D. Shaw. He had made a
patriotic speech during the evening ana
had retired in apparently good health. In
his instance there was a combination OF
causes to bring about the result-a BAN
auet. mental excitement, probably indi-
gestion and a coincideut lowering OF vital
tone.
In some respects the circumstanc
were similar TO those attending the de-
mise Of Henry George. who was likewise
stricken after forced efforts on the plat
form.
why the accident in question should oc-
cur at a time when all the bodily func-
lions are seemingly at rest is at first
thought somewhat difficult to explain.
When. however. the arteries of the brain
become brittle by age the slightest change
of blood pressure is often enough to pre-
cipitate a rupture of those vessels and
cause the escape Of a clot either upon
the surface or into the substance OF the
brain.
High mental tension, being always assoc
ciated with congestion, Is in itself an ac-
tive predisposlnS cause OF apopleNy. ihis
condition Is apt to continue during
more or less troubled sleep. and with an
overtired nervous system there Is less re-
slstance to overstretching of the cerebral
arteries than during the waking hours.

cAR0LlNA'S LABOR SCANDAL.
Ahuersoh's Grand Jury Expected to
Air the Rotten Contract sys-
tem-JudRe Benet's Charge.

columbia, S. c.. March 3.-Astounding
revelations are expected Thursday when
the grand jury of Anderson. county re-
ports TO a special sitting of the court
upon the investigation ordered on Feb l5
by Judge W. c. Benet
II was brought to the attention of the
court that in the convict pens in Ander-
son county were confined negroes guilt
less Of any greater crime than refusing
to comply with labor contracts which de-
manded absolute slavery. These contracts
could not have been held lawful. and the
negroes, though never taken before any
magistrate, were by physical force kept
in bondage and made to work as felons.
This state of affairs obtains in no other
county.
The contracts signed by these ignorant
negroes were negotiable paper. A land
owner having a negro bound to him for
a years work could sell such contract
to third party.
Judge Benet, in calling the attention of
the grand jury to its duty in the prem
ises sternly excoriated such a system of
conduct. The people of South Carolina
were amazed when existing conditions
We're given publicity by Judge Benet's
charge to the grand jury. The
entire state supports him in his
aggressive undertaking, and the people
OF Anderson county will no longer tolerate
the farm labor contract system if it be
proven that At is so baSely perverted
The attention of the court was directed
to this slavery" by evidence in the trial
of A. T. Newell a planter, whose farms
are worked by convicts. Newell was
charged with murder, having shot Will
HUI, negro, trying to escape from his
stockade. 1t was shown that the negro

Americas, Ga, March S.-Farmers
about Americas who have been holding
cotton for higher prices are discouraged
