Differs with Booker Washington.

New York, May 5.-An address on
"The Negro Problem of Today" was given
yesterday by Rev. DR.. VIM. H. Weaver,
of Baltimore, at the meeting of the Pres
byterian Ministers Association. DR..
Weaver is a colored man and a member
of the Presbyterian board of missions of
freedmen. He advocated policy differ
ent from that of Booker I. Washington,
saying he believed that general Christian
education is the greatest need of the negro
today, and not industrial" education.
That there are so many negro criminals in
large cities, he said, is due in great part to
the fact that people of their race are forced
to live in the worst part Of the cities.

INSANITY AND SUGGESTION.
Success OF VARIOUS Tricks Resorted
To by Physicians in the Treat
ment of Patients.

Suggestion as a therapeutic agent
is coming more and more into practice
by reputable physicians. Even insan-
ity is cured by its means, for the doc
tor whose speciality is lunacy under
stands perfectly that certain decisions
must be met by other means than
drugs. There was patient recently in
a Scottish asylum near Glasgow who
had for some years been under the i'm
preston that his head was turned the
wrong way on. After various futile
attempts to cure him the doctor in
charge put him in a chair, tied him
there securely, and, after blindfolding
him, administered a sharp electric
shock. The man got up weeping with
delight, and declaring that at last his
head was straight again. He had be-
come perfectly sane.
A somewhat similar cure was effect
ed by mechanical means upon man
who imagined himself to be top heavy
A pair of divers boots, weighing some
40 pounds apiece, were fastened upon
his feet. After wearing them for
few days he was completely cured.
There IS nothing doctors find more
difficult than to induce convaleScent
patients to sleep properly. During
recent smallpox epidemic a woman
who was getting over bad attack gave
her medical attendant very serious
anxiety because she seemed unable to
sleep. She was in so weak state that
he feared to administer drugs, yet 1t
was plain that unless she did sleep she
would have a serious and probably fatal
relapse. The doctor accidentally dis
covered that the woman was aware Of
this fact, and was making desperate
efforts to sleep So desperate, indeed,
that they quite defeated their object.
The next night he resolved on an ex-
pertinent. Mixing harmless dose of
colored water and sugar, he admins
tered it to his patient, and told her
that there was now no need to try to
sleep. because the dose would send her
off within 20 minutes. Exactly 20 mi
nutes later the woman fell into a sound
sleep, which lasted ID hours. The doc
tor had no further trouble with her.
Color healing, which has for CEN
tufies past been practiced in India, is
on the same principle, says the Detroit
News-Tribune. 1t simply consists in
administering pure water in glasses
Of different colors, from which color
the draught obtains properties mag
ical in their effect, provided the pa
tent is endowed with sufficient faith |
Water in a red glass is used to cure
epilepsy and all nervous diseases; in a
blue glass it is specific for paralysis.
while in a green glass 1t is used as a
cure for fevers and other complaints.

TOWN AND COUNTY NEWS.

We have received a letter from our
friend Mr.. l. e. Dodd, inviting us to visit
the Walton works near Falls Mill, and
promising us bgdinnerif we go. We will
accept the invitation and make the visit
the first opportunity.
There are a great many kind, big-heart-
ell people in Tazewell. We rave had
ample opportunity to find this out during
the past four months while there was so
much serious sickness in our family. We
can never forget or repay our neighbors
and friends for their many acts of kind
ness and generous sympathy.
Lost-On last Monday lost somewhere
about the town an old four blade pocket
knife. 1t is of Wo3tenholm make, with
buckhorn banlle and very much worn.
The file blade half broken off. The knife
is not of much value, but have had it for
years and prize it very much. lfany per-
son has found the knife 1 will reward them
if it is returned to me.
VIM. G. Pendleton.
j. Powell Royal, mayor of the town,
has called another meeting of the citizens
to nominate officers and a council for the
town. Such meeting was held about
two months ago, but owing to the pro-
visions of the new Constitution of the
State an election could not be held at the
time that was fixed when the ticket was
nominated. We suppose the meeting
which is now called will ratify the action
of the first meeting, as tie gentleman who
were nominated at that meeting will make
a most capable set of officers and
council. See the notice of Mr.. Royal pub.

THE NAvY's POSITION.
Statement Issued Giving Cause Of Break
ing With West Point.

The Navy Athletic Association. which
has entire charge OF athletics at the Ma
val Academy has. through its executive
committee, issued a statement which de
hines the navy's position on the disputed
question which brought about the cessa-
iion OF athletic relations between Annap-
oils and West Point.
The difference OF opinion which caused
the rupture was whether or not modified
form OF eligibility rules should obtain in
inture contests between the institutions.
annapolis insisted that they should and
West Point was equally firm in the stand
that the institutions should continue TO
be absolutely untrammeled.
The rules as suggested by the navy
did not touch professionalism, but simply
declared that no student should be elie-
ible to play who had represented any
hrst team OF a college giving an A. b.
degree for four years and that no students
should play who had been on such 4
hrst team until he had been at the acad-
emy which he entered at least one year.
West Points position on this PROPOSE
silion was that the fact of the large num-
Der OF students at the Naval Academy is
compensated for the higher age OF ad-
mission at West Point.

heat at its warmest registered from $50 to
oo0. The mornings continued rather cool
although there were no frosts.
The minimum temperatures ranged
from $50 in the mountains to 44o and ass
in the interior and south. The warmeI
weather of the week would have been
favorable in its effects on crop growth
were 1t not tor the fact that the continued
drought had practically checked all de-
velopment, except in the more hardy
products. There has been no rain oI
consequence within the limits OF the two
states since the showers of May 3.
All growth is at present badly in need
OF moisture. The hay crop. young clover
and strawberries are in a critical state,
and oats, corn and wheat will shortly
suffer material loss If the drought is not
broken. The extremely dry state of the
soil is also much against any advance in
blowing, and unless good rains are soon
received the acreage OF both corn and
tobacco will be considerably less than
intended by the farmers when the sea-
sons preparations first began.
Upland wheat Is being hurt by the
drought to greater extent than lowland
crop. AS the stalk is heading low there
is fear that the straw will be short in
many localities, in spite OF the advanced
growth obtained earlier in the season.

production. Rye is doing fairly well,
and is in bloom in Anne Arundel. Barley

Plants continue plentiful in all parts OF
the tobacco growing counties. They have
suffered but little from the fiy, except in
some uncovered beds. They are now OF
proper size for transplanting, but none
have been set out yet, although in the
extreme south the hills are ready, await
ing good rain. AS with corn, the prep
aration OF the tobacco land has been car
ried forward under adverse conditions.
Strawberries are in a critical state; the
yields are light and the berries small but
sweet. The present yields are not more
than half what they would be with a
sufficient amount OF moisture, and as the
crop is failing fast general shortage will
follow unless the situation is soon re-
lleved. The young strawberry plants are
dying in some localities. Blackberries
and dewberries are blooming over much
OF the section. Peas are past bloom in
some localities, and pods have formed
