Didn't Like the Tariff. "For five minutes I talked tariff. As my eyes wandered around 1 could ace scowls on faces. At the end of that time I struck out on luiuor and revenue ofliecra, and the boys listened. I deacrils-d the old times, before the war, in my coun ty and tried to make them as much like those of the Cox Mill section an 1 could. 1 told of the orchards planted by the grandfathers; of the way they made brandy. I spoke of the way the farmer took his sur plus corn to mill, and the still house, after the brandy season was over; there was no market for the graiu near by and it was too heavy to haul to town. In the winter, after the brandy and whiskey were made, the farmer would take a bar rel or two of liquor, tho lieoswax of the commuuity, two or three bush els of chest mils, strike off down the country to market, lie gone a month or two, and return with a pocket full of money. Kvcrybody kept enough brandy and whiskey for family use and let it lie in the cellar, In wooden vessels, and got rich and ripe and yaller, not yel low, but yaller. Everything was free no tax and it was worth 40 cents a gallon. Nobody ever got drunk; the liquor was too good for that. A Crest Difference. "'Hut now, what have yon!' 1 asked. 'A luun puts up a liltlestil) in a gorge of the mountain and a peu of shoats below it and every time a pig squeals it ia answered by half down revenue officers. There is no liberty in tho land; your fathers and your grandfathers were free but you are slaves.' "At this juncture I lien t over old mail Reuben, who was giving ear to what 1 said, and declared, Uncle Reuben- Reulien Hayes Luther Waugh tells me that yon are the leader of your people.

'I knew that I hail captured the old fellow. I had addressed him as I would have dotie a jury. The attention he gave me made me kuow that be was deeply Interested. Therefore, when I finished the last sentence his hands came together and be said, 'And by (lad, I'm with yon.' I almost said 'Let us pray' for I had converted a man. "Ten minutes after the speaking Was over I saw Lnther Waugh picking bis way across Fish river, which was spanned by slips of plank, resting on rock, followed by a drove of mountaineers.

On the other side, in a patch of ivy, we fonnd the party formed in a circle about two gallon jug, corked with acorn cob. The crowd was silent and solemn.

"The Isiys laughed. Knew How to Take a Drink "'He's all right,' said I'licle K-ulx-n, 'he knows how to drink out of a jug.' "The others assented to this. "I have always believed that the way I picked up that jug made the Democratic party votes that year. My speech had pleased the entire audience but the ease with which I raised the two gallon jug and the attitude I assumed toward it clinch ed the votes, and we carried that townshin for the lirst and last time. "The meeting at Cox's Mill, on Fish river, was one of the most in teresting I ever attended. We were in the enemy's country. The tar iff did not npiieal to them but the appeal for John Ilarleyeoru did. ' Work On The Big Ditch. Young North Carolinian Tells How It Is Carried On and the Won derful Things that Are Accom plished. Mr. Walter F. Doby of Uxing- tou, who is on the police force on the 1'aiiaiua Canal, writes the fol lowing interesting letter to the Lex ington Dispatch: I have tieeu Intending to write you tor some time nut until now have failed to get at it. However, as I have waited until now perhaps I am much better prepared to tell you what is going on, the condi tions here, etc. I landed Hereon the. (rd of April, after a sea voyage of six days, which was attended only by those things incidental to a sea voyage. l lie most memorable Incident lie gun to occur in early morning on the second day out from Now York. It was soon after I woke np that the regions in and alioiit my stom ach commenced to feel like tliey were turning over and over. I Im mediately dressed and went on deck, seeking the fresh air, but it seemed that it only made matters worse. 1 dun t kuow whether the fish in those waters rememls-r what followed, but I am ceitaiil that I do. I soon learned that we were offCBe llatteras, and then I un derstood why the waters were rough. As we proceeded south ward, the sea iM'cainecalin and the remainder of the trip was very pleasant. We saw the Waltling Island and coasted along the east ern shore of Cuba for several hours. Soon after landing I reported to police headquarters and was as signed to duly here at (iorgona, a nico little town, situated on the line of the canal, Panama railroad aud Chargres river, and has about 8,000 inhabitants. There are so many Americans here and every thing is done in such an American way that I often catch myseirthink- inir that 1 am In an American city. Of course, we haven't got the fac tory whistles to listen to that you have, but there are more trains passing over the Panama railroad here in a day than over the South ern main line in five. The repair shots) of the division are here, and that is the only thing in tne way ot a factory that we have. They em ploy something like I,MM men. Practically all of the other lunani tants of (iorgona are canal diggers, except a few merchants, etc., who are principally Chinese. Times are good on the Isthmus; everybody is at work. T he canal zone is no place for the loafer. Kv- erybody ran get a job, let him be white or black, brown or what not. The vagrancy law ia enforced to the fullest extent What concerned ma most before arriving ou the Isthmus was the health conditions here. To my sur prise I find thein as good as the av erage American city. The sanitary department sure has done a great work. Col. w. V. uorgas oi tne U. S. army is the chief sanitary of ficer here and he certainly does know his business. He ia the one who discovered that the mosquito carries disease from one person to another. Then are practically no mofMiuitoes in the inhabited por tions of the Isthmus. He has bad all the marshes, etc., that afforded breeding places for the mosquito, either filled np or drained, and be sides this, all of the booses in which canal employes reside are screened little sumriaed when Uncle Revin : and mom nito proof.

Of courw, tho ruiufull ia uiilch heavier and when it doca rain it ruta out all formalities and pours dowu, but iu spite of all this, w hich is a consid erable drawback to ocratioiis, the work an tho canal moves steadily on, all along the line from Lahoca (meaning mouth in SpauUh) ou the Pacific side to Colon on the At lantic side. The work is progre ing nicely. It is cut up into three divisions, viz: the Atlantic divis ion, the (Vutral and the Pacific.1 Col. tleorge W. Oocthals, l'. S. A. engineer, is the head of the canal commission, hach division has a I'. 8. A. engineer at its head. Kach division is divided into sub divis ions, or departments, aud a moi? complete working system was nev er seen any here. "Makedirt lly is the motto and they certainly car ry it out. Approximately TtOOtraiu loads of dirt and rock are being moved every working day. Over :loo trains are moved each day from the Culebra cut alone. I he size of the job I'licle iSam took over may be realized by comparing these figures: l'p to Aufciist 1st, PKi.s, the Americans had excavated all told, 4 1, 1117,41 A cubic yards; the total excavation done by the French company was M,.riix,iHH) cubic yards. The total excavation re iinred to lie made on the canal was estimated August the 1st at about W, 108,000 cubic yards. This isex- elusive of the construction woik of the links nud dams, etc. At the beginning of the year 1!0S the I uited Hiatus had spent, exclusive of the fid millions paid to the Re public of Panama for the canal zone, .!,. U.i, M-. i U. longress ap propriated at the last session a lit tie over .'! millions. Thero is no adequate estimate of what the ulti mate cost will lie, but the engineers say now almut .'100 millions. It may cost more than that, no one can tell. It is expected that the job will lie completed January 1, 1 !!". There are ! steam shovels on the job and several dredges. Home of the shovels have 5 ton capacity, others U ton capacity. Home days ai:o I watched one of the smaller ones in the Culebra cut and it took up two cubic yards and a half of dirt every 17 or IS seconds. It worked with tho precision of a clock, ripping np the earth, swing ing over the car, dumping its load, and going back for another. The man in charge or it wasu t touch ing it; if he had Is-en, he could have made the round in Hi sccoi.ds. A few niore than 'J.l.ooo nieu are on the job, "i,000 of whom are Americans. There arc ,000 I-.n- ropeans and tne remainder arc principally West Indians. Nobody has kept count ot tne tliltercnt na tionalities represented on the Isth mus, but there must lie more than fifty. Tho police reports each month show anywhere from forty to fifty. You can hear all these languages or dialects In a rulu or walk along the line of the canal. You can see all sorts or cost nines. You will see men from India, men from Argentine, men from Canada, men from Siliei ia, all hard at work on cucio Bam s Dig uitcn. lue Kuroiieans are better workers than the West Indians, consequently re paid accordingly. The "machine" Is In iierfect working order, and the American peoplo may rest assured that through their representatives down here the canal will be built, and that it is only a matter of time and proper appropriations from Con gress. Law and order is now supreme on the Isthmus. It was a sad awak ening to some of tho peoplo here. Three are now under sentence of death in tho canal zone and about SO are doing from one to ten years in the Tieniteiitiary at Culebra. There are a few over 2,000 on the police force. Notsajing it because I am on it, but It is as fine a body of men as I bave ever seen togeth er. During the month of July thero were 518 arrests made. As for myself, I am getting alone fine.

It is told ber by totlish Drng Company. which prevails In almost every nation and every clime. As near ly as poNiible I sh ill try to confine invself to tho title assigned me: Predisposition, modes of iufection, and general symptoms of tulicn-u losis. Predisposition, I'.y predisposition is meant any coudition or weakness of individual constitution, any age, any climatic condition, any season, any occupa tion, any wasting or debilitating disease, any racial tendency or ua tiomtl weakness, any hereditary weakness or anything else that len ders an individual more liable to become infected with the tuliercle bacillus aud to succumb to its ac tiou on the human sstem. In the first place, those born of consumptive parents easily liecome infected with tulierculosis ami are harder to cure than those who ac quire the disease by eioeure. The children of consumptive parents should guard eHKclally against go ing into any chronic catarrhal con dition. If tho mother has had tulierculosis, their resisting power is still less. If a consumptive father already infected begets children, these chil dren will very probably die in early life of tubercilar meningitis or liccoine alllicted with scrofula or tuberculosis of some glandular structure or of some serous mem briine or of some joint If a consumptive woman already infected with the tubercle bacillus begets or germinates and brings forth a child, the chances are the liild it already dimmed. Never should a consumptive man marry a consumptive woman. T hey have no moral right, nor should they have any legal right, to bring into the world beings that have not the chance of lite nor the chance of usefulness. Two llat-chested people with nar row shoulders and weak constitu tions, should not liecomo man and wife. If a weakling or man naturally predisposed to tuberculosis is obliged to marry, he should select a robust, dccp-cheslcd, broad shoul dered damsel of good family his tory and he should be temperate iu all things. He should not let any sickly, measley school boy love take the place of good judgment. Kven if his life partner spnnks him around and ordeis him ulsiiit iu general, he can lie consoled that he may have some heirs that can hold their ground. Marital excessive have sapped the life of many a young consump tive couple, both man and wile. Auother argument againstthe mar riage of consumptives. And by consumptives I here mean not those already infected, but those indi viduals with a constitution favor ible to easy, quirk infection and levelopment of tulierctilosis. Predisposition of Age. Many a girl with decollctte and abbreviated skirts has danced her self into eternity through the con sumption gateway by over exercise mid over heating, following by sud den chilling and congestion of her tender lungs. An effort to Herod the young man into willing submission. Many a young couple have sat on the jmikIi ol nights chatting silly do dos and indulging in other pleasantries, forgetting that Na tures exacting laws would that night require of the unprotected girl her life, if not her soul. Kxtra clothing should always be addexl for out door life nt night, lieauty or no beauty, beau or no beau. The low-necked girl of flat chest and tender lungs can dance herself or even sit herself into consump tion or pneumonia In-fore she knows it. 1 have w ltncnscd the finish of a few of these. ltirth, environment and habit mould our characters and make lis what we are. A consumptive girl whom envi ronments and neglected home train ing bave brought to the bad, en dures but a short time her life of shame. Cigarette smoking ia a very com mon predi. posing cause of tubercu losis. How many young men dis sipnto themselves intoconsiimptive or to premature senility through cigarettes, whiskey, women, loss of sleep and lack of rest Alcoholism causes a chronic in flammatory condition of the lung tissue and the victim falls easy to tho tuliercle disease. The children of drunkards bave a peculiar weakuess for consumption. Children and old people have a certain degree of natural immunity against tubercular Infection. When children have it they usually have tubercular meningitis, scrofula or glandular tuberculosis, white swell ing or tuberculosis of joints or the race. Hut, it anthiug, debar- the disease, the germs must lie ringthef.ictth.it it removes from ; present aud the exposure such as earth a large uunits r of had lie- to implant the bacilli under coti- groes, it seems to choose from the, ditions favorable for the develop rank and hie or our solid young manhood and womanhood, often claiming tho who sacrificed a large degree of physical strength io the development of braiu and of character. Climate Itcsidcncc in a low, dam p count ry pretbnposes to tuberculosis, while resilience, in mountainous regions seems to protect the individual against it. It seems to be more common in warm climates. Season. Any one liable to tulierctilosis is much iiioiv apt to contract during t he dam p w i n ter nud spri ng luon l hs. Dry, sunny weal her protects against infection and favois the improve Blent of those already infected. Wasting Diseases. Those who are very much run down in vitality and nutrition from wasting diseases such as chrome malaria, chronic Plight's disea.-e. chronic catarrhal bronchitis, chron ic Ciilanh of the stomach and Isiw els, typhoid fever, catarrhal fever. pneumonia, whooping cough and pleurisy, often fall au easy prey to the dreaded tuliercle infection, it the exposure happens to come at such a time of low resistance. Occupation. People who work iu cotton mills and other factories where there is so much dust in the air, are very liable to tuliercnlosis. People w ho lalstr in coal mines mid other mines where there is dust, are predis posed to tuls-rculosis. Women w ho work in crowded sweatshops are very much in danger, if the genus happen to lie present or a consump tive liuppens to be at work there. People w ho live in damp, crowd ed tenement houmts where sunshine and air scarcely penetrate, fall easy victims if tho exposure happens to lie present. Knee and Nation Predisposition. It is said that consumption was almost wholly unknown nuiongst the negroes in slavery time. They; got a plenty of good, wholesome lood. They had plenty of cloth ing. They were regulated. They were made to go to lied early and at regular hours instead of going to church, shouting aud going through a great informal Congo dance, finally following, when exhausted, with a march through the cold. The thinly-clad Indian with his game and fish fell an easy victim to tulierculosis tiller civilization had introduced it. Negroes and Indians are very lialilo to tulnrculosis. This is due partly to the fact that the corpus cles of their blood have weaker phagocytic action than the white man s blood upon the germs of con sumption. Another reason is that the negroes and the Indians arc much more apt to lie exposed to tho disease. They live a crowded life. They live with the consump tive, they visit him. They never fumigate nor dislufect. Tliey live iu consumptive houses from month to month and from year to year. Negroes aud tho more ignorant classes of the Caucasian race are largely responsible for the spread of tuberculosis. Tho disease seems to lo more prevalent amongst the Irish-Americans aud those of Iiish extraction than amongst any other nation. Patent Tedicines. Another very important predis position to tuberculosis, Loth in fection aud (levelopment, is the in discriminate taking of patent med icines on the advice of everybody. Somebody has lieen cured of some thing he didn't have. He reports his rase to his ueiglilxir and, though there is no similarity at all between their cases two distinct troubles the drowning man grabs at the straw and takes for con sumption what the first case took for hypochondriasis. Many a patient has lost his chance of recovery while taking patent nostrums iustead of getting diagnosis and treatment Irom i competent physician. Don't tamiM-r with patent medi cities iu a case of life and death. False Family Pride. Many an ambitious mother has hid away a precious son or datigh ter dying of tulierculosis, lest the public or even the doctor might discover the case and the other sons and daughters be thereby de prived of some chance of marriage or social preferment. 1 Ms is wrong. Catarrhal Conditions. Catarrhal conditions in the res piratory tract (especially in the bronchial tubes) ana in the nnmen tary tract seem to render the indi nieui ol tlie disease. There is a mistaken idea amongst the laity that no one has consump tion unless he has a terrible cough and is alsmt to cough up his lungs. Again there is an idea prevalent that anyone with a bad chronic cough surely must have consump tion. There van lie a bad form of chronic bronchitis without any tuticrcular infection, or there can be tulicrcular iufectiou with little or no cough. It is a blcssiir; to the human race and a savor of life that direct sun shine will kill the tuliercle bacilli iu two hours aud that they are anaerobic that is, they cannot live iu oxygen. Modes of Infection. There are two routes of iufection, the respiratory tract aud the ali mentary tract. The consumptive often reinfects himself in his stom ach and bowels by swallowing his sputum. The dried sputum from the re spiratory tract, the vomit from the stomach, the discharge from the ImiwcIs or discharge from a tuber cular aWess are the only sources of infection. Almut !. per cent, of tulierculo sis is in tho lungs, and in nearly all cases it comes from the dried sputum coughed into the telephone transmitter or into a wind instru uient, or deposited by the patient on a drinking cup or eating utensil, or handkerchief or towel, or spat ou the sidewalk or lloor or in the dry street. Kvery traveler on train or steamer should carry au indi vidua! drinking cup, lest he con tract tulierculosis or syphilis. See Ladies' Home Journal, July, 1!0N. The bacilli are very tenacious of life and can live iu a dark, closed up place for mouths and yours. Children often get the infection from toys or from pet dogs or cats; no sputum, no contagion. No consumptive should driuk at a public fountain without an indi vidual drinking cup. Ho should have his own spit cup with car Isilic acid iu it. He should never kiss anyone and should lie careful how he shakes hands. If the sputum and the discharges are promptly uisiulected, there is absolutely no danger of infection. cakly nurses have cared for pa tieuts for months and years with out liecoming infected. No consumptive should keep hooks nor handle books nor work n a closed room or office with others. Another important mode of in fection is through milk supplies Irom infected cattle or from infect ed individuals handling the milk. (kneral Symptoms. Any case having increased pulse, evening rise of temperature, night sweats, loss of appetite, loss ol weight, husky voice and weakness and shortness of breath should lie regarded with strong suspicion. There will usually be found dull ness in the apices or at the base of the infm-ted lung. There may lie present only a lit tle dry, hacking cough or none at all. If the case is sufficiently de veloped as to throw off' a good specimen of sputum, the micro scope will confirm the diagnosis. The family history and t lie pa tient's history w ill gteatly aid in making out the case. The shape of the chest and the breathing power are also to be noted carefully. Tuberculosis is to lie differenti ated from iiitluenza, typhoid fever, chronic dyspepsia and chronic bronchitis. There may be tuber culosis without any rise of temper ature or any marked symptoms. Four thousand iieonle die in North Carolina annually of tulier culosis. Sixty seveu people die ia I uion county each year of tuber culosis. And yet it is both pre ventable and curable. Let us wage a vigorous warfare against this greatest enemy of the public health aud tight on till we win. News from Waaliaw Vicinity. Wail,, Kin--)rt-4- I Mr. L.
