Tenperance Resolution.

s 4 !
We, the delegates to the 8Oth
annual convention of the North
Caroline Baptist, representing .
constituency of two hundred and
twenty thousand, do hereby firm
our faith In constitutional probi-
bition and rejoice that in the re-
cent elections throughout the
State, the people gave no indica-
ton of purpose to go back to
the Dispensary Of the saloon.
As Baptist, ever jealous of the
educational, moral and religious
welfare Of all the youth of the
state, we deplore the fact that the
Legislature has made legal the
sale of near-beer, and the conse-
quent partial re-establish of the
saloons. We therefore petition
the Legislature about to assemble
Ito forbid the sale of near-beer, or
any similar drink that induces
the use of intoxicants; we also
call for a law that will prohibit
the keeping for use Of any intoxi-
they be under business, fraternaI
or social names.
In view of the Decentralization
that is coming to large numbers of
our youth and fellow citizens, be-
cause Of the methods and practi-
ces, made possible by intoxicants
being shipped into the State from
cites In Virginia and other States.
i We hereby strongly affirm our
belief In the fundamental princi-
lp1e that the United States Gov
eminent has no moral right, and
Therefore should not have the legal
) power, to allow an article to be
carried into any state where leg
islature has forbidden the manu-
facture or sale or, giving away
of said article, provided exception
is made of liquor intransit to other
state or states. and provided fur
Their exception is made of liquors
to be used In the state for mecham
cal, or scientific purposes, and as
provided by the laws of the State
We believe further that pardons
should rarely if ever be granted to
convicted violators of our liquor
law.
The Secretary of the Convention
lis hereby authorized and directed
to send copy of these resolutions
! oyer his official signature to the
following parties: /.
His excellency, the Governor Oh
North Carolina, and the remaining
! State officials; the members q

At the last session the thanks Of
the convention were voted the
county officials for the use of the
court house, to the city autori-
ties and the people of Henderson,
vile for their gracious and
heartfelt hospitality, = and to the
Daily Herald and outside paeprs
for the publicity given the pro
ceedings of the convention. Mem

racy and the interesting manner
in which it was put before the
readers of the paper.

Why We cauGh.

Laughter seems to be a specialized
form Of either the scream Of q star
lied or injured animal OF the cry Of
triumph common to many beasts Of
prey. In children the cry Of terror
and the shout Of laughter often shade
into each other, and the young child
escaping from pursuit win scream with
laughter or fear, according to bis
chances Of escape. Some unexpected
event that causes slight alarm short
Of actual terror Is the commonest cause
Of children's laughter, but In adults
some sudden event that gives sensa'
ton Of triumph over others has much
more influence. Really clever jokes
seldom cause laughter, and 1t has been
pointed out that man chasing bis
hat viii prodncs laughter far more
hearty in character than tie beSt eff.
forts Of the cleverest Wit. The sight
Of Ill fortune In another causes by
contrast a feeling Of triumph in our
selves. The ticklish parts Of the body
are for the most part the sites Of I'M
portant blood vessels, and the Laughter
produced in children by tickling is
even more closely allied to the cry OF
pain.

The Cuckoo.

Where does the cuckoo lay its eggs?
What is its staple diet? What course
does it take in its autumn migration
when it returns to its African haunts ?
These are questions that await salts
factory answers. Until 1t was found
that the cuckoo laid its egg on the
ground and subsequently carried it in
its bill to a neighboring nest It was
supposed that the bird fed largely on
the eggs Of smaller birds. This fallacy
has been disproved. Probably in the
whole range Of British birds there is
no other that can boast such curious
domestic traits as the cuckoo. It makes
no nest, does not attend to Incubation
duties and rears no young and appar.
emily never sees the bird that is hatch
Cd from the egg that it surreptitiously
places in the nest Of some smaller bird.
