0 COY-GLENN AND DB. STILES WHAT GREW OP TCMXESS TALK. A Curions Fact That the Treth; When l'.luntiT Pat. Hnru and Bene Ttaere Arose Mvcta Ad AbMt NoUiliut J The Affair Intensely Himu Bat Very Vnwtse An Offense : That, Mast Xeeds Jlave Com, Bat Woe to Him ti Wbon UM Offense To the Editor of The Obereri It Dr. SUlee had eotn to NorthK Carolina In the Unptr of Bolomon, . and had U to her,o . "' , -.:iOk" fair ' Bhulamlte, Thy beauty la brighter than atarllrht on -x Hebron wJien Hebron l bright, Thy sweetness Is sweeter than Csrmel!' : : North Carolina would have swelled with pride and the would not have beea abuaive. In your issue of th tin I note the following editorial paragraph: "Our North Carolina people are - curious. Professing to want light and knowledge upon subjects which are . obscure; disseminating these our selves, especially through our medical .. profession, whiah is more advanced .. than any other; soliciting, and alert for, Information by means of which ': we can improve ourselves, when an .outsider suggests a deficiency or Im perfection -we swell op about it and abuse him." . You state therein a very evident truth, but assign no reason for it; you content yourself with saying that It . "curioua" I do not wish to be trou- "blesome, but with your nweet permis '' . aion (as the violet said to the sun) I ' (would like to develop this subject a little further. It la a curious fact, indeed, that not " only North Carolinians, but men - everywhere as well, readily confess to themselves what they are unwilling to , be told of by others. Standing before Jier mirror, my lady says to herself. t "with becoming frankness, "I may ... amiable, but, alas! I am not beauti ful; and then with cheerful heart - ehe essays with massage, cosmetics and smiles to make untrue her harsh ' . Impeachment. But if I say to her. "Beloved, you are the most amiable . littla woman I ever saw, but you are not pretty," her skies are beclouded, she goes with a hollow cough all day, " and she feels somehow that I am not , her friend. And so with me; I have known 'for scores of years that I am not handsome; but if you tell me that - 1 am ugly, I shall feel that you are ' rankly discourteous I make no doubt, furthermore, that under presa Vftjng circumstances I would He like a . gentleman; but If you should know it and call me a liar, I should covet your "' felood and call you "another." And : so If a man has worms and knows It, you cannot with Impunity go about making cross-roads talk of It. We tell ourselves unpleasant truths without offense; we are indignant .f told the same truths by others. Tell ' .Ing them to ourselves, we are assured f the kindly spirit of our accuser; 'f . the relator is another, we suspect tho spirit of him who uncovers the naked .truth. This is true even when the uncovering is done In private by a ' friend; if the revelation Is made In public by "an outsider," we consider the exposure so unkind and indecent . as to demand denial of the allegation and abuse of the allegator. Such Is human nature, touched In Carolina or Cathay, innate and In herent in man regardless of civilisa tion, social status, or official station. The wise and thoughtful, therefore. were not surprised at the Governor's display of 111 humor at the work or ;.vtha. country life commission and the , wholesome truths beneficent utter ed by Dr. Stiles; to whom the pro fession In this State has been indetot- ed for six years. Our executive head. aa everybody knows, Is a remarkably 'voluble. Industrious and human shep- herd of his sheep; and I see how he could not brook a stranger's coming among them, even for their good, and 'i toawling out: "Your paunches are big, your blood Is thin, your wool Is abort, and your lambs are lean!" Evidently Dr. Stiles 1 not a tact ful man; if he had come with a lull ing lie on his Hps If he had said, ; ""your flock Is all wool and a yard wide saound in wind, limb and ab :', domlnal viscera." he would have gone ! from the State covered with roses like the grave of the newly dead; and i . every Jericho-horned ram and bell , wether of the flock would still be . bleating his phrases. Dr. Stiles meant well, and the spirit of his indictment was doubtless sym ' pathetic; but he was unfortunate, be . lng a scientist, in phrasing his help : Cut charge. If he had said It so that .- our neighbors would not so readily . have understood It had said that we were suffering with uncinariasis; that In the face of summer floods and a . Republican panic, our alimentary canals in their tortuous .convolutions - and rotund ruffles, supported by mes j entery and covered by caul, were Infested and filled with a new-fangled ' parasite, a pestiferous nematode of ' the family of Strohgylidae, known to eclence as the Unclnarla Americana Stiles), a deadly vampire which in ' wardly develops destructive toxins, drinks the blood and saps the vitality of adolescent Carolinians, even as the robber tariff outwardly sucks the blood of a helpless people too proud to confess their spoliation It wouldn't have been so bad. Now, the Governor, to be sure, in . this public prayers does not hesitate . to say in the hearing of his flock, "O. i "Lord, . we are poor, helpless worms of the dust!" but when It is said that This flock get worms out of the dust when Dr. Stiles, an outsider, even a helpful stranger, a man on a Federal Job from Washington City, says, not that we are worms, but only that we are wormy, the Governor is offended, .. shows signs 'of anger and with injured pride begins to pull cover ever our uncomely parts. Intensely human all this, but un wise.; 3b the very nature of things, sorely the offense must needs have romei but woe to him always by whomithe Offense cometh. Very" "curious," very human and very funny withal funny enough to make a cultured hookworm chuckle In tha anaemic belly of his host. CTBU8 THOMPSON. November tld, 10. Princes aa Nun. London Globe,- .

' Ceir reply to that is that the comparison with other sections Is also with cities: nor can we escape the conclusion that these figure re flect rural : condition also with un failing accuracy, because the most far-reaching investigations by the government In a great number of States where both rural and urban death statistics have been collected how that there i less than 1 'per cent difference between th death rate of city and town. The stricter sanitary regulation and th greater avaliaouity or medical help in our American citie practically counter balance the country's advantages in fresher air and the simpler life. The deduction from all this, in fact, the uneacapable conclusion is that the death rate In the South Is from It to 35 per cent, higher than In the coun try at large. And we repeat, that this I not the effect of our climate. It is the effect of improper sanitation; it is a proof tof Dr. Stiles' statement that wherever the negro population Is large hi disregard of sanitary law takes heavy toll upon the live of the white women and children of the South, these classes, being peculiarly susceptible to the disease which the negro spread and which the little less reckless disregard ot sanitary law by a large part of our white people does hardly less to foster.
