Scientific Experiments Made to
See How JHoeh They Slay be
Exercised Safely.
Philadelphia Inquirer.
How much happier the lives of
the thousands of children entering
school this month would be if only
women mothers and teachers bet
ter understood the nature and .limi
tation . of their brain cells. Such
knowledge is to be had, as very im
portant experiments and deductions
have recently been made by scientific
investigators, but it always takes an
uureasonable length of time for such
knowledge to become geueral.
After 25,000 tests by the best ed
ucators in America it has been abso
lutely demonstrated, for instance,
that the length of time that a child
six years of age can concentrate its
mind does not exceed seven minutes,
and that all efforts to confine its at
tention upon one subject beyond this
limit are worse than useless. This
power of concentration increase
slowly. At the age of eight a child's
attention may be esily held ten min
utes. At the age of twelve bis mind
should not be riveted upon one sub
ject longer than seventeen minutes.
It is, therefore, a great mistake to
keep a child of this age, say, at the
piano more than fifteen minutes.
After a change of occupation an
other quarter of an hour's practice
will be of incalculably more benefit
than the attempt to continue work
after brain and nerves have become
fatigued.
Indeed, most of the inattention
and restlessness of children may be
explaiued upon the physical basis.
A boy's brain, for example, under
goes a certain shrinkage at the age of
fourteen or fifteen. It actually
weighs less than at the age of twelve
and thirteeu. This fact explains
the carelessness, laziness and gener
al unreasonableness of boys of this
age. Statistics show that a large
proportion of boys leave school at
about this time. It is altogether
probable that if parents and teachers
realized that the proverbial lawless
ness of boys of fourteen merely evi
denced a temporary condition of
brain cells, more of them would be
patieutly guided through the pe-
roid, to rate up their studies a
year or two later witn renewed interest.
The same tests have conclusively
proved that the brain of a child is
always most aetrve between 8:30 and
11.30 in the morning. All lessons,
therefore, requiring the exercise of
reasoning power sucn as antnmetic
and grammar should be at this
hour. It has been further deduced
that the average child, unhampered
by grades and systems, may have eas
ily mastered his arithmetic by the
time he is twelve years old.
Scientists have also discovered
that if the brain centres governing
the motor nerves remain undevel
oped until the age of sixteen, there
is no chance whatever of any later
development, which fact is a power
ful argument in favor of manual
training in the public schools. The
majority of children are so active
that they develop their own brains
and nerves to a certain extent along
these lines. Where they fail to do
so we get the tramp and the sloven.
It is a physical impossibility to ac
quire skill and dexterity in any art
unless the foundation has been laid
in the formation of brain cells and
the training of the motor nerves be
fore the age of sixteen.

Hannibal Was Nearly the
Yonngext and Von Molte Moeli
the Oldest of All the Famous
Uenerals When They Fonglit
Battles Which Crowned Their
Success. -Boston
Post.
It has ever been a much-mooted sub
ject the period in his life at which a man
maybe supposed to be at his best. There
is nothing in the field ot hnmau action
to compare with war in its demand upon
every great quality .in the character of
the Generals, who direct the opposing
armies. Courage, energy, perception,
knowlege, wisdom, capacity for organiza
tion and the effecting ot quick combina
tions all are required in ther full extent
in the commander-in chief, and in pro
portion as he possesses them and other
analogous qualities is measured his great
ness as a general and the probabilities of
the success of his campaigns.
Chief among .all generals of the past
stands Hanibal, who in his qualities as
a commander has never been surpassed.
His passage of the Alps with his army
stands today, after twenty one centuries,
a high-water mark in military achieve
ment. He was in his twenty-ninth year
when, on the death of his illustrious
father, Hamilicar, he became commander-in-chief,
with.the supreme direction ot the
forces of Carthage, on land and sea. At
the age of thirty-one, having fully or
ganized his forces and made all prepara
tions in Spain, he .crossed the Pyrennees
and the Alps with his army of 90,000
foot ' soldiers, 10,000 cavalry and 37 ele-
phant, descended into the valley of the
Po, and made"good his position in Italy
by routing the Roman arniiea at Ticinus
and Trebla. At the age of thirty-three
hejannihilated thevRoman army at Can
nae, and filled with the dread of invasion
the city of Rome itself.
He was forty-seven years of age when
he met with crushing defeat by the Ro
mans, under Sipio Africanus, at the hard
fought field of Zama.
In the way of precocious military x
ploits, Alexander the Great bears the
palm in all history. Called to the throne
of Macedonia at the age of eighteen.he had
already figured in the wars and adminis
tration of his father, Philip. At the age of
twenty -one, he carried the day against
Thebes and Athens with the Macedonian
phalanx, had razed Thebes to the ground
and made himself master of Greece. He
was twenty-three years old when, after
winning some preliminary battles, he met
the Persian King, Darius, at Issus and cut
to pieces his army ot 600,000 men. After
seven months siege he took the great
maritime city, Tyre, and on the following
year, at Arbela, he destroyed the army
and empire of Darius, and at twenty-five
years old had made himself master of
Persia. .
Alexander seemed to possess a purely
military genius, with the ability to con
quer, but without the capacity to improve
his conquests in the permanent enlarge
ment of his kingdom.
It is in Caius Julius" Caesar that we
find the military chief, statesman, politi
cian, historian and popular leader com
bined in the h'ghest degree that has been
manifest in any one man in the world's
history. The greatest political and civil
organizer in all the Roman era, and as a
general second only to Hanibal; the des
tiny of the world turned on his fortunes.
Conspicuous even as a boy in war and
politics, his great campaign began in Gaul,
when, at the age of forty-four, with raw
troops, he defeated and broke the power
of the Helvetii at Bibracte. The next
year he conquered the Belgae, and he
was forty-seven years old when, two years
later, he invaded Britian. He was fifty
four years old when he defeated Pompey
at Pharsalia, a victory which made him
master of the world.
Among generals of modern times, Gus
tavus Adolphus, of Sweeden, the "Cham
pion of Protestantism" in Europe in the
first-half the seventeenth century, was
thirty-seven years old, when, at Breiten
field, near Leipsic, he overwhelmed the
forces of Tilly.
Charles XII, of Sweeden, "The Royal
Madman," was a commander whose
military genius budded early. He
made war because he liked to fight
battles, to upset kingdoms, and put one
king in place of another. He was but
twenty-four years old when, at Eram-
stadt, he won the battle that dethroned
Augustus II, of Poland. At twenty-six
years of age his fortune tumed ou the
field of Pultown, where the Russians an
nihilated his army, and the crushing dis
aster ended the great battles of the Swee-
dish monarch.
As a general in the field tew command
ers, oi any epoch have equalled John
Churchill, Duke of Marlborough. The
'Splendid calm' which he was wont to dis
play when at critical times on the battle
field he massei his troops and threw them
irresistibly upon the enemy at the right
place and moment, and the masterly way
in which, campaign afier campaign, he
out mauouvered and out fought the great
marshals of Louis XIV, has won the ad-
uiirauou oi cruics ever since. He - was
fifty-three years of age, when, as general
commanding the united armies of Eng
land and Holland, he at Blenheim de
feated Marshal Tallards superior forces
about to invade Vienna. He was fifty
six years old, when, at the battle of Ram
illies,he beat Yillerol and gained Bra
bant and Flanders to the allie-". The next
year fiTwon the battle of Oudenarde
and he was fifty-nine when at Malpla
quet he again defeated the French under
Villars.
Napoleon already had distingushed
himself at Toulon, when at the age of
twenty-seven years, he was made com
mander of the armies of Italy. He was
twenty-nine years of age when he beat
the Mamelukes at the battle of the Pyr
amids and the Turks at Ab.-ukir. At
thirty-one years he fought the battle of
Marengo; at thirty-three le received the
Austrian surrender at Ulnj, and in the
same year, at Austerlitz, defeated the
combined armies of Austria and Russia.
He was thirty-sevea when he shattered
the Prussian army at Jena. At thirty
eight he fought at Eylau the indecisive
battle with the Russians and Prussians,
and at Friedland won the victory that
brought the Russians to terms of peace
in the treaty of Tilsit. Napoleon was
forty years old whenat Wagram he van
quished the Austraians under Grand
Duke Charles, forty-three, when at the
climax of his career, he beat the Russians
at Boroddino and marched to Moscow.
He was forty-four when he beat the Rus
sians and Prussians at Ivutzen, won the
field of Dresden, and met his fatal defeat
by the allies at Leipsic. In 1315, at the
age of forty-six, his career of military
glory closed on the field of Waterloo.
Arthur Wellesley, the Duke of Wel
lington, the great antagonist of Napoleon,
had made a good record in fighting Mar
attas, in India, before he wa thirty-five
years of age. He was forty when he
won the field of Talavtra, against Mar
shal tSout, in 1809. Four years later,
commanding the British and Spanish
tt oops, he beat Marmont and the French
at Vitoria. He was forty-six when, with
the allied British and Prussians, he van
quished Napoleon at Waterloo.
Gen. Ulysses S. Grant was forty one
years old when be captured Fort Donnel-
son, and turned a rout into victory t.t Shi
loahJorty two when he captured Vicks-
burg; forty -three when he fought the bat
tie of the Wilderness, and forty-four
when, after the long fighting before IPe-
tersburp, he received the surrender
of the Confederate army at Appo
mattox.
The great Prussian general, Hellmutn
Frelher Von Moltke, the most consum
mate strategist in the history of modern
warfare, was sixty-six years old when, on
the field of Sadown, the Prussians de
feated the Austrian army commanded by
Field Marshal Benedick. Four years la
ter, on September 1 and 2, 1870, he, at
the age of seventy years, fought the
battle of Sedan against the French under
Napoleon III, and won the victory which
decided the issue of the Fraucio-Prussian
war, and resulted in the creation of the
German Empire.
II K STOPS TO THINK.
THE REAL CONDITION.
Incidents of Life as it Is in
Wilmington.
Wilmingtou Messenger.
It is thought that the negro bearing is
less aggressive and violent njw than it
was two or three weeks ago. This may
be true as to the males. There is an un
derstanding now that they must put
brakes on until after the election, as de
monstrations, of lawlessness might
injure the Radical cause. We
give two recent illustrative instances,
both unqualifiedly true, of recent date:
A few days ago two young ladies met
two negro women on a rather narrow
side-walk. One of the negroes rather
jostled ont of the whites, perhaps suffi
ciently to shove her aside. The whites
passed on, taking no notice of the affront.
A few feet behind the negroes came an
old negro woman. She stopped and said
to the young lady; "Honey, did they
shove you off de walk!" The reply was
yes. She then said: "I'm glad a dat and
praise dare courage."
A yenerable lady of refinement, visit
ing Wilmington, whase hair is whitened
by advancing years, was on one of our
main thoroughfares lately and was stand
ing awaiting the coming of another lady.
Two negro wenches were passim;, when
one turned to the lady as she passed and
coarsely, brutally asked: "What are
you standing here for, you old white
goat?"
The white people are expected to bear
these thing. It is the last feather that
breaks the camel s back. Thia swagger
ing insolence and readiness to insult
white ladies on the part of the blacks
have gone quite far enough. It will be
better for all that it stops,
wise is sufficient.

News and Observer-
To the Editor: I have been a life-long
Republican and hare voted and worked
for the success oi the Republican party
and its candidates in my native county
Randolph; I have, during the past few
weeks, been reading of conditions in
some sections of my State, where ne
groes were said to be largely in control
of public affairs, and I have wondered
how these things could be true. Indeed,
like many others of my party, I have
though they were campaign lies.
I finally decided to investigate for my
self, and I came to Raieigh yesterday
from my home in Randolph county. I
went first to the white Blind Institute,
and I saw there carved into the corner
stone of the new building' now being
constructed, the name of James U. Young,
the colored politician of Wake county,
as one of the directors. I then went in
side and asked the superintendent, Mr.
Ray, if he would let me see the official
report signed by James H. Young, as one
of the committee on inspection of that
institution. He promptly showed me
the official report signed by James H
Young himself, and Mr. Ray told me that
his was the same report which had been
printed in the Newa and Observer and
other papers. (
I also went into the Wake county court
house and saw with my own eyes a ne
gro 'man sitting at a desk in the office of
the Clerk of the Superior court, he, the
negro, being a deputy clerk in that of
fice who was placed there by the Repub
lican clerk of the court in Wake county
to succeed a white man. I have seen and
heard a good many other things that I
never dreamed really existed in good
old North Carolina. I have seen and
heard enough.- I know now that the
statements that are claimed by some to
be Democratic lies are actual facts, and
facta that must make a white man stop
aud think. I have stopped and I have
thought, and my mind is made up. I
cannot and will not longer lend my aid
or any influence thai I may have to the
support or endorsement of such a condi
tion of affairs in my beloyed State. The
only way that I can see tt prevent this
condition of affairs is to vote the white
man's ticket The Democratic ticket,
and this I shall not only do myself, but
I shall do all I can to get others to do
the same.

Mr. F. L. Travis, of Scotlan d Neck,
the chairman of the Democratic execu
tive committee in tiaiitax county, was
here yesterday. Mr. Travis brings very
encouraging reports from Halifax The
Democrats there are aroused as they
never were before.
Mr. Travis says nearly every Populist
in Halifax county has gone back to the
Democratic party. Four years ago there
were over 700 Populists in Halifax. Now
Mr. Travis says there are not more thaii
25 Populists in the county and that they
are returning every day.
Recently a white government union
was organized in Scotland Neck. Citi
zens closed their stores and 00 people
p ai ticipated. Sixteen Poulists were pres
ented and announced their return to the
Democratic party.
The work of the white government
unions cannot be overestimated. Chair
man Simmons has received information
that in one ot the eastern counties 29
Populists participated in a newly organ
ized union. At another meeting 23 Pop
ulists were present.

him to reform (come back to the De
mocratic party) or associate with the negro."
Both of said statements are absolutely
false. I said nothing in my speece at the
State Convention that was calculated or
intended to hurt the feelings of any Pop
ulist. -It is well known in North Caro
lina that since March, 1S96, 1 have been
ah open advocate of co-operation with
the ropuust party. On my motion our
county convention instructed its delegates
to vote for such co-operation. I expected
from our committee on resolutions a mi
nority report favoring such co-operation
and intended to make a speech in favor
ot such report. No minority report was
made and no opportunity offered to make
the speech. All of this was well known
and especially to those who favor co
operation with the Populists as a party
Under such circumstances I could not
have made the speech attributed to me
without thereby forfeiting the good
opinion of my friends and associates in
our convention.
In the Eastern counties where the ne
groes greatly outnumbei the whites, there
are and have been since 1863 white peo
pie calling themselves Republicans, who
knowing by experience that negro rule
means ruin and destruction to the pros
perity and welfare of said counties, still.
for the sake of a few palfy offices hold
night meeting; with the negroes, fan the
flames of race prejudice and asist in or
eamzmg the negroes to vote as a race
against anything and . everything that
comes from the Democratic party. The
Hon. W. H. Kitchen had described this
class of people and had denounced them
in very severe terms. I said that I en
dorsed every word Capt. Kitchen had
said about the white 'Republicans of the
Eastern counties where the 'negroes out
number the white people, and that I
would go further and say that appeals to
the race pride of such white Republicans
would avail nothing that in my opinion
nothing would cure thai evil but social
ostracism. That if they persisted in thus
associating with negroes for political pur
poses they ought to be made to seek their
company for social purposes. That when
they come to our houses they, should be
required to enter the back door, eat their
meals in the kitchen. All that I said
about the Populists was that I was not
in favor of accepting the proposition
made by them to us without modifica
tion, but that I was in favor of appoint
ing a committee to arrange co-operation
with them on fair and equitable terms.
but that a majority of the Democratic
party had decided otherwise and I would
submit to the majority always, and I
hopea it would turn out that they were
right.

of each other so as to sweep the entire
sidewalk and forced the young lady to
step off into the ditch as they marche d
past.
A couple of days ago a young lady
went to a negro shoemaker to have a shoe
fixed. She had previously given him
work. The man asked 25 cents for the
work, which was a small job. The young
lady said to him that she had the same
kind of work done by him before and he
had charged but ten cents for the job.
The negro became impudent and said
"You are an infernal liar.' The young
lady retreated from the spot as quickly
as possible.

A Minister. Sentenced to Uie
A dispatch from Fort Worth, Texas,

Methodist Episcopal Church at Panhan

his wife, October 10, 1S97, has been found

wife after returning from church. Th
jury was oniy out two Hours, iietore
the death of his wife Morrison was en
gaged to wed Miss Annie Whittlesey, of
Topeka, Kan., and when intercepted he
was at her home. It developed in the

Hypocrites and Liars.
Wilmington Star.
In his speech at Jacksonville, Onslow
county, recently. Senator Marion Butler
characterized the Deoocrats a "hypo
crits and liars." ICy Thompson, Hal
Ayer and other Fusion Populist stumpers
and organ grinders have a large stock of
epithets which they hurl at the Demo
crats, and they do it as if they were in
downright earnest and had a horrid loath
ing for these "hypocrites, liars, etc." In
the joint discussion at Concord with
Cy Thompson, Hon. C. B. Aycock hit
them between wind and water thus:
"You have for six years vilified the
Democratic party and all its leaders, call
ed them villains and scoundrels, liars and
bull pen builders and ballot box stuffers,
and still three months ago, with your
tongues yet parched and your lips red
with these vilifications, you came and
proposed to fuse with villians. You come
and say: 'For a few officers we will de
liver to you villians and scoundrels and
to your gold and monopoly-ridden party
these thirty thousand rotere of ours,' and
then because we don't agree to barter.
you rush to the Republican camp and
say: 'Give us some offices and take our
voters,' and then you talk of hypocrisy
and say that it is a wonder that God
don't blast the Democrats for their hy
pocrisy."
With this litelike picture of the Popu
list fusionist would any one find it diffi
cult to decide which are the "hypocrites
and liars?'
Government by Contract.
Kaleigh News and Observer.
Before leaving yesterday Chair
man Ilolton said that "an agreement
bad been reached with Thompson,
but he had not had time to sign the .
contract. Apparently the f usioniaU
are coming to a pretty true estimate
of one another's character. The on
ly safe course is to have . "mutually
agreeable conditions" down in black
and white. The fusionisU have
treated North Carolina to many new
things an epidemic of imbecile
officials, a governor who swears for
a living and carries a private arsenal,
an auditor who writes penny-dreadful
romances, etc but the very
newest is government by contract.
The people of thia State jiave been
wont to think that they govern
themselves. They have been dis
illusioned. They are governed by
a contract signed by two pie-eating
peanut politicians, who agree to go
partners in the division of tne loot.
Did the voters have any say in the
contract? None whatever. The
contractors have overlooked the fact
that in November the voter will
have an opportunity to repudiats
it.

Geo. II. White Tells Negroes to
Arm Themselves.
Raleigh Post.
Geo. H. White, the negro Congress
man of the second district, made a speech
in Northampton couuty a few days ago
that completely discounts his rank utter
ances here at the Republican tate con
vention.
A gentleman whose varacity and integ
rity cannot be questioned informs The
Post that White counselled the negroes in
his Northampton speech to get their guns
and ammunition ready, and not to de
lay the matter. He told them not to wait
until election day to do this, and to go to
the polls armed and demaud their rights,
A white gentleman had permitted
White to speak on his laud. As soon as
the negro Congressman gave utterance
to this incendiary language he ordered
hirntn his premises. White was in
formed that he couldn't nse such incen
diary language on his premises.
W hite and his crowd of negroes then
went to a school house, where he con
cluded his sphech.
