In this connection, I wish to

ocratlc voters Of our town and
their worthy cause, unfolds to the
legislative committee at Raleigh,
the true inwardness of things po-
litical in this end of Guilford
county, the would4be statesmen
who are attempting to rob tour
white men of their votes if orr
der to vent their devi1ish spleen
and personal hatred upon the
heads of a few good men in Our
community who always have and
who always will refuse to do their
bidding, it will then be under
stood for all time to come, that
the will of the people is not to
be tri1ed with and that the rob-
berry of mans franchise does not
go unpunished i'll this land Of the
free-born American citizen. It
will also be then understood that
a cause that cannot be openly
before the election and
then entrusted to the honest vot-
ers of our city at the polls, is
not worthy of consideration at
all. In my opinion, the Legisla-
ture at Raleigh is too fair and
honorable to permit this attempt
ed outrage upon the splendid
citizenship of our city.
Respectfully,

We desire to be fair at all times
and hew straight to the line on
all matters of a public nature. A
newspaper must stand for principle,
its opinions untettered, to be true to
its mission and the people who help
make it. If per chance if threats
made are attempted or the man at
the helm suffers for righteous cause,
let it be left a priceless legacy to his
family that he stood for principle
and was true TO the mission en-
trusted to his care, and please God
that is the vision indelibly stamped
on the mind of one who thinks he
knows himself better than any one
else.

was paid by Rousseau, in whose honor
Garrick gave a special performance.
The first part Of the bill was a tragedy,

A Remarkable load.

The toad OF Surinam, Dutch Guiana,
is very remarkable in one respect. 1t
first awakes to life while on it's moth
ers back When the eggs are laid the
male takes them in his broad paws
and contrives to place them on the
back of its mate, where they adhere
by means of glutinous secretion and
by degrees become embedded in a Sc
ries of curious cells formed f0r them
in the skin. When the process is com
pleted the cells are closed by kind Of
membrane, and the back of the female
toad bears q strong resemblance to a
piece Of dark honeycomb when the
cells are filled and closed. Here the
eggs are Matched. and in these strange
receptacles the young pass through
their first stages of life, not emerging
until they have attained their limbs
End can move about on the ground
over 120 eggs have been counted upon
The back of a single Surinam toad.

Puzzles in Mathematics.

A New York engineer was surveying
the route of a branch line for rail
way system. An old backwOodsman
with whom he stopped for a time adj
mitted one day when he saw the engl-
neer figuring in the field that mathe-
matics always seemed a wonderful
thing to him.
Being young and enthusiastic, the
engineer began to enlarge upon it's
wonders, telling the farmer how we
could measure the distances to differ
ent planets and even weigh the
planets; how we could foretell the
coming of a comet or an eclipse years
in advance Of it's actual occurrence,
determine the velocity Of the swiftest
projectiles, ascertain the heights Of
mountains without scaling them, and
many other things meant to astonish
the old man.
Yes, them things does seem kinder

always bothered me was to under

Seeing In the Dark.

Sir J. }. Thomson is authority for
the statement that when body is
heated above the temperature Of boil
ing water it ordinarily begins to be
family visible especially by averted
vision, but no definite color is dis
cerned until the temperature has risen
considerably higher This suggests that
the first effects are felt by the rods"
and not by the 'cones," which together
form the retina. The cones are Speci-
ally concerned with the perception Of
color From this one would infer that
animals which see in the dark must
have retinas particularly rich in rods,
and physiology shows that this is nota-
bly, true of the owl, whose retina is
remarkable for the extremely great
proportion Of rods to cones. In a faint
light, states Professor Thomson, the
owl sees no color, but he sees some
thing, which is good enough for his
purposes where we would see nothing
