CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS.
Among the work done by the
special session of the Legislature
which adjourned Monday
the following amendments to the
constitution were adopted Uy the

tion or rebellion against the Unit
ed States."
* Increasing compensation of mem
bers of the General Assembly.

The action ot the Legislature in
accepting the freight rate propo
sition of the railroads seems
to meet with general approval,

position. The prevailing sentiment

that the State will save several
millions a year in freights.

STUDENT SENATE INAUGURATED
Two Great Debates Arranged For—New
Orphanage Huperlnteqdent—
Other I (emu.
Con of The Gleaner.
Elon College, Oct. 18—This morn
ing at the tegular daily Chapel ex
ercises Dean Lawrence presented
the idea of a student senate to
have exclusive control of all casr>s
of cheating on examination .and to
act as a ' sort of grand jury In
other' cases of student delinquen
cies to the more than threfc hun
dred studentfs. The matter was
left to a vote of the students and
almost unanimously they adopted
the plan, electing the Senior Class
as the Senate. It is understood
that the class will accept the obli
gation and the honor.
The annual Junior Senate debate,
uhich is to be pulled of November
the 26th, bids to be an occasion of
unusual interest, because of the
timeliness of the query to bo dis
cussed. Immigration is )ust now
forcing itself upon the attention of
the South, and the question to ba
argued is, Resolved, that educa
tional and property qualifications
should be added to our laws gov
erning immigration. Messrs. W. D.
Loy and J. L. Farmer will de
fend-* the affirmative and Messrs.
C. Johnson and P. P. Myrick
will advocate the negative.
The Philologian debate this
Thanksgiving treats of a vital ed
ucational question in North Caro
lina. The query is, Resolved, that
provision Should be made for mak
ing the University of North Caro
lina into a real University with an
income annually of $500,000. Mess.
R. F. Brown and H. 8. Smith
will speak affirmatively on the
proposal, while Mess. W. L. Kin- j
ney and P. V. Parks will oppose
the Idea.
President and Mrs. Harper have

l-awyer Must Pay Fine For Not Ap
pearing as Witness.
'I he State Supreme Court last j
week handed down a decision of ,
interest in the ease of Pierce, from
Duplin.
Pierce, a lawyer, was a wit
ness in a Duplin county gle and
was interested in cases in Wayne
county court. He was told l>y at
torneys in the Duplin case that he
would not be needed until Friday,
Novemer 29th, in a case and was
there when it ca»ne up. It was not
tried that day. He had asked the
judge in Wayne court to contin
ue his cases until the following
day. He also asked discharge from
Duplin court and failed to get It.
He went away without excuse and
being called the following day was
absent. He was 4ined f4O and
the costs.
He nnpeiiled and the Supreme
Court affirmed the judgment. The
Court holds that the fact thdt an
attorney has important cases
which are personal mattera, can
no more excuse the attorney when
he is under subpoena as a witness
than it can excuse a farmer who
has business or a doctor who has
patients. It taxes the coat In the
case and makes obligatory the
payment of the fine.

It Is a well-known fact that brain
or muscle work forma In the system
a poison, and If we keep on working
a condition which doctors call auto
intoxication Is produced. Which
mesns that the antitoxin nature haa
produced In our bodies has not been
enough to offset the poison of our
burned up energy,
i Rest and deep sleep are supposed
to clear the body of all potaona and
! wasts. But It haa been prov*d In
the case* of persons who us* drugs
that after they have taken Into th*lr
| system a certain drug In Increased
; amounts for soma months they can
stsnd an amount which would kill a
dozen parsons not accustomed to th*
drug.
| Prom the minute the drug was In
their system nature started to work
to produce In that body an antitoxin
to fight the po|son they wars taking.
Nature gets many habits of her own.
nnd sh* gets Into th* habit of expect
ing to form an antitoxin to battle
with that poison or drug which that
body has been taking dally, and ah*
produces It dally,
k Now suddenly let that same body
stop taking Into It the drug It was
used to; nature does not stop form
ing the antitoxin. No Indeed; she goes
right on for weeks and months foam
ing the antitoxin she has been accus
tomed to form, and the little lighting
army, to fight and being of a poison
ous nature themselves, turn from lit
tle workers, when they have their
own work to do. to bad workers, with
no work, and atart lighting the good
cells of the body, producing a self
poisoning which Is likely to causa
desth.
If a man has been working dally
for years and the energy used up by
work haa produced a sort of poison
ous wsste, enough to cause auto In
toxicating If not cleared out by rest
snd sleep, would It not seem reason
able that nature had dally In that
man's system been forming an anti
toxin to offset the poisonous waste
and that when he auddenly stops
work the same condition takes place
as with a person who takes poison?
The antitoxin ceils, finding no poison
ous waste to work on, turn and work
on the good cells of the body, causing
auto Intoxication and sickness and
many times death.
It would seem that a man giving
up work should do so gradually.

waa retold th* other day by Capt
Roger J. Tatars, first mat* of the
rlrer steamship Stephen A. Bell,
which caught on fir* and was horned
on a sand bar Just across from Qmaha
In th* summer of ISS9. Th* nam*

Captain T*t*rs cam* from his bom*
at Marshall, Mo., to get th* relic.
*T was a young man then," said th*
captain, "but I had lived on the river
all my life. I was born at Miami,
Ma, on the banks of the river. That
was my first trip up the river. We
came from St. Louis with a boatload
of knock-down houus for Sioux City.
They were house* built at the yards
and put together on the frontier
much like a puizle.
"We got as far as Omaha without
trouble, making a fast trip of It We
stopped several hoars there. Omaha
was a llrefy, growing city then. Our
captain, a man named Sullivan, met
a friend of his In charge of another
boat, and we decided to race to Sioux
City, a trip of a little more than a
day tor us. We had Just started when
there was a muffled explosion In th*
engine room and th* crew rushed out
with a cry of Tire!'
"We b*ached the boat on th* bar
across th* river and a little above
Omaha. By that tlm* th* boat waa a
mass of flames and we had to escape
th* bast we oomld. The boiler explod
ed and killed two of th* heavers.
The explosion had been caused by too
hot fires, prepared to get up steam
for the raoe. Before we caught a
down-river boat the captain disap
peared and we never heard what be
came of him. He was to blame for
the loas, as freight boats were never
to be raced, that amusement being
left to the passenger crafts. The
boat was beached In seven feet of war
ter and we never recovered a thing."
Teters, who later became a cap
tain and was for years on the river,'
is the only living survivor of the
wreck, he said When he heard of the
charred remains of a boat being found
by the graders he Immediately came
to Omaha to obtain the name plate

Air Preeeure •lows Tunnel Train.
The effect! of air resistance are well
shown In the lift-mile Slmplon tunnel
through the Alpe, where an exception
ally large amount of energy Is required
to run the electrle trains. The tunnel,
which la 16 feet wide and 18 high,
with a sectional area of >6O square
feet, haa a ventilating current of 3,630
cubic feet per second, maintained by
two large blast fans at the Brlgue end
and two exhaust fans at Iselle.
B. Kllchenmann, a Swiss engineer,
finds that trains going with current
encounter leas resistance than in open
air up to 16ft miles an hour, but at
higher speeds or In the opposite direc
tion the resistance is much greater
than outside. Coasting by gravity down
the 7 per 1,000 maximum gradient, a
train, even though going with the cur
rent, cannot exceed 16 miles an hour
on account of the braking by the air.
