Kost predict?, the county: Is 'des tined to make good development through the. energy and persistent work of its people. We noticed in the last issue of the Dunn Banner mention of several new enterprises, among them a canning factory, a chair factory, a tannery, and perhaps some others. Wheie the people forge ahead like that there will be development, oil wells or no oil wells. But we hope the Post's oil prophecy will come true. . Our esteemed - contemporary, The Scotland Neck Commonwealth, has been misled into the statement that .many of the Inmates of the Stato hos pitals at Iia-eigh and Morganton are idiots and inebriates. 'Perhaps there are very lew idiots in either, and these ware admitted by error in diagnosing their malady. If there were more of them it would remain to be - said that some idiots are very dangerous and should be restrained. 'It is doubtful if there are ten inebriates in the two hos pitals.' Passing by the question as to whether It were better to save an in sane person than an. inebriate, it is to be said .that inebriates are not wanted at either Raleigh or Morganton and their applications are discouraged. Such as are received at Morganton" are placed in apartments in which it isn it practicable to place insane persons, so that they occupy no space which could be belter utilized. Our contemporary will pardon 113 for directing attention to its unintentional misstatement. We do so because the error which it innocent ly propagates is widespread and it 13 desirable, in the interest of justice, to do what can be done in its correction. Charlotte Observer Aug. 3rd. Thd foregoing is accepted by our. esteemed and able contemporary as correction to a slight mistake in a par agraph in these columns two 6r ttiree weeks ago concerning inebriates and idiots in the State hospitals. - A friend who knows many things about the hospital at Morganton, writes u the following facts : "Before the inibriate law of 1891 w passed many patients were, committed as insane at the hospital there when tbey were crazy from drink.' There was no way to prevent it. Dr. Murphy and. the directors asked . that a law be made to forbid inebriates admission to any ward except that Bet apart for private patients, and that they be required tn pay lor. the treatment. - 1 ne wooie purpose of this was to keep inebriates out ol the hospital. To a good ex tent it has been micceeshil. " 1 "Since the passage of the law. in 1891 about fffty men have been treated at Morganton in the private ward and for pay.' Five were there during the past twelve months. At present there .is not a single one in the hospital." Tub Commonwealth' is glad to eet the matter straight thus by an editori al paragraph of the Charlotte Observer as well as by the quotation " from our friend's letter. Had we at first said "some" patients instead of saying "m an v" ' rtatiAnf.a - ..had bezn inebriates and idiots we would have4 been more nearly correct.; Our slight error was the result of an impression we got from an article in the Raleigh News and Observer.

Continued Use of the Latter, Even in Small Quantities, Produces an Unbalanced Mind. "'. The fact becomes more and more "prominent that the continuous use cf spirits, even in small quantities, is followed by dementia. This may not always be recognized, but . measure ment of the senses and functional ac tivities, by instruments of precision uniformly indicates depression, di minished and lowered vitality. The heart's action is changed, the nutri tion and assimilation is disturbed, and the operations of the mind show a wide deviation from the normal state. Where there is hereditary predispo sition' to use spirits, or the. person is a psychopath, or suffers frfftn neu rosis, inherited or acquired, demen tia is a most natural sequel. The constant anaesthesia which follows from 'the use of alcohol,, together with. the chemical disturbances of as similation and nutrition,-after a time are followed by permanent" organic changes. The action- of alcohol on the heart can be traced, but its ef fect on the nervous, centers is more obscure.. The steady drinker suffers from" the toxins of alcohol and poi son's which are produced by this agent circulating through the blood, which finally act on the nerve centers, producing.jfirst, functional, then or ganic, disturbances, and finally ex tend tp dementia. It is an error to suppose that intoxication is the only indication of damage from alcohol. In reality, such toxic states are only incidents from which recovery fol lows. The most serious injury -comes from the continuous" use qf spirits and the Constant depresssion of the nerve centers, and the persistent de rangement of assimilation and elimi nation. The periodic drinker has free intervals of sobriety during which na ture makes an effort to restore the damage, but the continuous drinker is subject to the constant, uniform action of depressing toxins. Stages of dementia are started, and, al though at first slight and obscure, they become more and more . appa rent. Thus, in one ease, a constant drinker after a time shows egotism and superior confidence in his .strength, unnoticed before In an other case, stupidity and dullness are the early and later characteristics. In another, the higher brain centers suffer, and the character and pride of appearance is changed. ; In .an other, unusual parsimony or generos ity indicates a change. Often these mental states appenr prominent for some time before organic symptoms are apparent. While each case dif fers from others in a degree, there can be no doubt that a uniform, pro gressive degeneration follows in all instances where alcohol is used con stantly. - Illustrative examples are very numerous, and an occasional so called exception in which the con stant drinker appears to be free from organic disease" has sometimes, been found, r .Careful inquiry into these cases with measurements by instru ments of precision reveal changes unmistakable. While dementia is the most common form of mental defect, other' disease states are noticeable in these cases, and death often fol lows from acute inflammation of the lungs or kidneys. A general paretic condition may exist in all the organs, while the hig'r brain functions show marks of denitia. Eecent studies in this direction" reveal a new field of facts which contradict all assertions of the possibility of. a harmless use of small quantities- of alcohol daily. Journal of Inebriety. - . PROGRESS OF REFORM. , Libby, McNeill & Libby, one-of the largest packing firms in Chicago, have posted a notice absolutely prohibit ing the use vf tobacco by their 3,000 employes while pn duty. - The report of the commissioner-of internal revenue shows that our army of liquor dealers numbers 238,683, or nearly four times the nuinber in the United States army under the new law. f' Japan, with practically the - same poor laws as Great Britain, has only 24,000 paunjers, while Great Britain has 100,000. -A Japanese statesman, being asked .toexplain, replied: "The Jap anese drink tea; ..the"" British' drink al-coh-ol."- - . : ; . ."--..'

A national purity convention will be held in the First Methodist church, Chi cago, October 8-10, under the auspices of four national purity organizations having headquarters .respectively in New York, Philadelphia Chicago and La Crosse, Wis-. ..'""- .- "Fifteen" hundred temperance pledges Iiave been distributed among the Chris tian Endeavor Societies of north Penn sylvania . by President H.

Oneof the largest life insurance com panies 'in the country has just estab lisfred"a total abstinance class of policy holders. ' . Mortuary statisticsr prove that the death rate is considerably lower among total 'abstainers,- and they wilt be given a correspondingly lower rate on premiums hereafter. ' Troubling the Doctors. ; The "drink question continues to trouble medical authorities not a little. The Lancet, in an article on the drink ing habits of the nation, points put that since the days of Tpdd a genera tion ago no medical leader has sanc tioned the reckless use of alcoh-ol. In an address recently delivered, Dn Car ter, of Liverpool, points out thatwhile the? mortality from almosit every dis ease has fallen, that from alcohol is nn'txeention. The deaths have risen from 45 per 1,000,000 of those living in 1878to77per l,uuu,uvy in iovt. w.vai ter is impartent with such matters, and CVUs for -"legislative or oiacr avuuu. : Jlvea liar reppectsjreraci ty 1Q Cther tsllorw. -ir 'jSf-'- '''"'I h j IN DISTANT PLACES.

There is more "heat ing up" ii three minutes of haste than in -an hour of leisurely proceeding- - Cut the acquaintance of the ther mometer. Discourage talk about the weather, and if you must think of it think of Peary! In torrid weather wear clothing suitable to a torrid climate as light and as little as the conventions and circumstances w;ill permit. - Free perspiration seldom hurts any one.

It is "dry heat" or the sud den checking of the sweat that is dangerous. - v Don't drink "cool" alcoholic bever ages under the ideajjiat they will re duce your temperature or that of the atmosphere. You are simply adding 'fnel to the fire. Paradoxical though it may sound, hot drinks are in the end of ten more - cooling than cold drinks. KNOWN IN OTHER LANDS.

It has- been said that "Jesus Christ discovered the chlldi." And this is true in its best sense. He left it for boast ful "psychologists" of a later age to ascertain by means of "child study" how many babies in 100 put their right thumbs in their mouths and how many prefer their left, great toes; but Jesus Christ saw in the .child those primal requisitts of the spiritual nature upon which the happiness and the moral life of the world alike rest. The one great question of all re ligions had been: What kind of life on earth is most approved by the heav enly powers? It . was significantlj when His disciples had been striving about questions of precedence tha't He "took a little child and set him in the midst of them" and said: "The great est in the kingdom of Heaven is the one most like this." " : It was a reversal of the popular con ception in-a sentence. Man's concept tion of God has Ten of one impassive, stern, self-conscious pf His infinite perfections. The exposition of Jesus taught that God was sympathetic, for giving, self -forgetful in His aims. Each age has certain virtues that are in a measure native to it. Those native to childhood, said the Master, are su preme. By Heaven's measurements he is not "greatest" who can best proVe, but he who most readily believes; not he who can systematize a moral the ory, but he who is most responsive to moral intuitions; not he who can sur mount obstacles, but he who is most sweetly conscious of and glad in his dependence. ' No age ever needed that lesson more than this; ; no people more than we. Our popular heroes are all of the "strenuous" kind. In finance they are multi-millionaires;, in state, imperial councilors', men of blood and iron. Even in religion we have not .only abandoned the cloister; we have for saken the closet. We worship only the big, the powerful, the triumphant. We must have "great" revivals, or give up. That Kingdom of Heaven which Com eth not by observation is "tob,slow" for our day; We must count qurnwni' -Ders every year; and our faith rises or falls with the figures of the census. -, But, after .all, our own experience only goes to show that " Jesus was right, as He always is. " The noblest manhood always carries a heart of childhood in its breast. The most Christlike church has -still something of , the early simplicity In its faith and -ways; while the divines soijj, the one most fitted for the kingdom of God on earth or in Heaven, believes because it must; obeys, as a matter of gracious instinct, and loves because it is life to love. It is of such soufs-the Kingdom of Heaven is built' up; and the best thing we can do for the kingdom our selves is to cherish such a spirit in our hearts. Chicago Interior. .

SOME HORTICULTURAL BRIEFS - Put soapsuds around the- peach trees.. Set out young fruit trees aind plants every year.. " In transplanting no manitre should be placed in direct" contact with the roots. s v The value of an orchard- depends very much on the proper selection of the varieties. ! ' Raspberry plants shduld be set out at the very first favorable opportunity in the spring. The pear tree is more liable to dis ease than any other fruit-tree, unless we except the peach. In manuring the orchard remember that the roots of the trees extend as far out as the branches. All the fruit trees should be care fully labeled, so that the owner may know what he possesses. If the fruit trees need pruning, it is easier to prune as soon as the ne cessity shows than after years of neg lect. , ... . , -' . : Unless needed for the purpose of propagation it is best to keep the suckers' from around the raspberry and blackberry bushes.
