Brown closed a distinguished service ot 16 yearn on the lower court bench in North OHroliiwi. a fact which was adverted to by Hon. Jno. D. Bel- lamy in a pleasiug and most com- plimentary speech as the final act of the term was about to transpire. Mr. Bellamy personally, and in behalf of the bar of the state, thanked Judge Brown for his uni form coortesy at all times during his long Bervice as a Superior court judge, and referred in most com- plimentary terms to the urbanity and dr-ference to others which e teen that there was deep interest in all the speaker said.

One of trie qualities which gave ower to the late Senator Matthew

Quay of Pennsylvania was a won- derful ability to judge human na- ture. An incident which the Brook- lyn Eagle recounts s-lustrates the humorous side of Quay's ability to turn men to his own uses. Shortly before General BcaTer, a personal friend of Quay'6, was nominated for the governorship of Pennsylvania a political writer lor one of the Phila- delphia papers went to Hnrrisburg for an interview. He met Mr. Quay on the train.

"What are you hunting this timer" asked the senator.

"Oh, I'm going to interview Gen- eral Bearer, was the reply.

'"Is that so?" said Quay thought- fully. "Well, 1 wish you would take a note to him for mo. It would save my getting olT the train there."

The newspaper man promised to do-CO. Mr. Quay borrowed his pad, wrote a few words on a sheet, folded it loosely and addressed it on the outside to General Beaver.

"Jr -. give that to him if you will," he said, banding it carelessly to the writer. "That is all I was going to sav to him." !_. . m

Then us lhe joke grew upon him he laughed aloud. "Oh. this is too' good to keep!*' he cried, and handed the note lo the reporter.

It read: Dear Beaver— Don't ISlk. QUAY.

Mr. Quay had assumed that the newspaper man, being a gentleman,' would not read the loosely folded note, and that he would give it to General Beaver before the interview to get it oil his mind, and perhaps to impress General Bearer with his acquaintance with the "boss."

Between the speakings and the

fairs this month the people need not

pr du'l,

Sunday's Raleigh News and Ob-

■error was a hammer. It was a Democratic paper right.

Governor-to-be Dob Glenn is con-

ducting a great campaign in the

state. His speeches not only attract

attention over the state, but through-

rut the nation as well.

DAN HUGH McLEANS SPEECH.

Senator George I". Hoar, of

[Massachusetts, has passed into the

fireat beyond. He lived to a ripe

old age ami was a mail of towering

intellect and influence.

The Charlotte Observer has been

caught on the Wilmington Messen-

ger's -rror about resolutions pur-

portii r to have been adopted by the

Demoi itio convention of Pittcounty.

3rethren. let us remind you that

Ktt held a strictly resolutionless

convention.

In Raleigh Friday morning Dr.

Thomas 1'. Hogg, one of the oldest

and beet known men of that city,

was run over and killed by a rail-

road shifting engine- Hy his age

he hed become enfeebled physically

and mentally, and Having a facina-

tion for railroads he unconsciously

wandered into ilangar.

Monday's papers contained the

letter of acceptance of Henry C.

Davis as the candidate Tor the vice

presidency on the Democratic ticket.

Mr Davis' letter is much the short-

est of any of tlit? expressions of the

othar candidates j receding him, but

it is full of meat and to the point.

As a running mate of Judge 1'arker

he is a strong man. and every pass-

ing day gives a brighter forecast of

the election of the Democratic ticket.

Judge R. 1>. Peebles has brought

more disfavor up.ni himself. The

Superior court clerk of Warren

county tendered his resignation be-

amee of ill health. Mr. .1. It. Rod-

well, who Was deputy clerk, made

applicniion for the office, and the

power of filling the vacancy was

Tasted in Judge Peebles* It seems

that Mr. Rodwell «as not a supporter

of Judge Peebles in the convention

that lKiuin.iteil him for judge over

os-Judge F. I'. Winston, and he did

not get the appointment as clerk.

Wanting some excuse Lruotappoint-

ing him Judge Peblcs accused Mr.

Rodwell of being a defaulter and

said he would regard tit a crimo to

appoint Such a man to ollice. This

effort to blight the character of an

benefit man aroused the just indigna-

tion of the people of Warren county

who knew and honored Mr. Rodwell,

and it has not tended to change the

already poor opinion people in other

aections of the state had of Judge

Peebles. ',

A large crowd heard Hon. Dan

Hugh McLean in the court bouse,

Monday night, and his speech fairly

bubbled with old time Democracy

that brought frequent applaune.

After an introduction by evSeoator

F. G- James, Mr. McLean spoke for

an hour and crowded much sound

logic in that time. He empaiinellod

his audience as a jury before whom

ho tried the issues of thetwo parties,

and leave it to their judgment to Je-

cide whether the Republican party

of misrule should remain iu charge

of the affairs of government, or the

Democratic party with a clean,

honest record take its plac.

He took Roosevelt's record as a

first iritness, and forcibly showed

how he did not occupy his ii.gh )X)-

sition by the will of the people but

was a creature of circumstance.

He referred to the president's vilifi-

cation of Southern chivalry in scath-

ing terms and said he did not see

how even a self-respecting Republi-

can of the South could support him.

Any who should vote for him would

be endorsing his denouncing as

traitors the heroes of the Confed-

eracy. In State matters Mr Mel.can re

Standing for Morality.

The press of North Carolina stands today more firmly for morality than ever before Almost every news- paper which one reads makes some declaration in favor of high morals, either in editorial utterances, prints from other papers or in its own general policy. A majori'y of the North Carolina editors to-day are fearlessly outspoken on the subject of morals, and make moral excellence a part of their papers' creeds.—Scot- land Neck Commonwealth.

Legislature ought to make it a peni tentiary offence for an engineer who has not stood an approved examina- tion and obtained a license to run an engine." Undoubtedly a gnat many lives are lost and much valua- ble property destroyed by people who assume to fire boilers without knowing what they are doing. The wonder is, indeed, when one looks'at some of these incompetents,and con- sider their earnings, that there- are so few boiler explosions.

The Propar Amount of 8l«op.

A proper amount of sleep is of course absolutely essential to con-

j tinued good health, but if dietetic | habits are correct it ia a matter I which will regulate itself. If a rule I is needed, one will follow naturally j from the fact that almost every one I feels languid on waking and is dis- i posed to take another nap, no mat- ter how long he has been sleeping. This is n morbid sensation which it would take too long to explain here. It is enough to say that lack of sleep should be made up, if possible, at the beginning and not at the end. The best general rule is to rise at a given hour every morning, whether tired or not, and go to bed when sleepy.—Century.
