STATE ISSUES ARE SUFFI
CIENT. It would seem a rather curious book
of political Instructions, that of the
Mstlonal Democratic party, which Is
being given to the candidates to be
elected to the next General Assembly of
Berth Carolina.
In this book, Imperialism has a big
space, and bow this subject will gain a,
single Democratic member by being prep
seated to the voters, It Is hard .to eoa
elve. Then the Tariff, while a most Im
portant national question, would prove
a boomerang, If too seriously presented
in some districts in North Carolina.
What the Democrats want to do to
win votes In the next Legislative cans,
paign. Is to stick to State Issues. '
There are enough of these, which If
presented Intelligently and dlspasslon
jtejjjt, will win votes for the Democratic
eause.
An avoidance of State Issues by those
seeking" election to the next General
Assembly of North Carolina, wllllndk
cats that the democratic policies are
something to be ashamed of, that the
rsooril of the democrat, In. favoring
State Institutions and their betterment,
and the splendid system of education
Introduced under the present Adminis
tration, were mistake.
There are too many home Issues. Im
portant ones, which need full discussion
at this time, and any neglect of these is
sues means loss to the State Democratic
party.
There is plenty of time next year and
afterwards, for National Issues to be
brought np. They are not vote getters
at present.

At the beglnnliiK of the nineteenth
century the Freneh Academy of Sot
ences offered to give a prize to the first
person who would solve the following
problem: If you take a vase full of
water and put a stone or any similar
body In It the water will new over.
It however, you put Into its fish, the
voiumeof which la equal te that of the
stone, it will not flow over. Explain
this phenemenon.
Learned easaya sn theveabject poured
In from all qsaatara, itoafcthe problem
mi not satisfactorily solved in any
of them, and consequently the prise
was not awarded.
In the following year the same ques
tion waa again propounded, and for
Are years answers ooatimied to pour
in to the academy. Then it suddenly
occurred to one of the academicians
that, after all, the problem might be
Incapable of solution, and' he deter
mined to make a test for slnsslt.
Filling a vase with water he put
a stone into It and saw that the water
flowed over. Then be took out the
stone, filled the vase again with water
and put Into it a fish, the volume of
which was .the anme aa .that of the
stone, and auw, to his surprise, that
the water a rain flowed over.
He told the academy of his discov
ery and the result waa that the offer
of a prise waaat oocevdtlsirwwn.

Am Old -Welsh Cutom.
The kindling of bonfires on hills is
the simplest of - celebrattons at any
time. The Druids made four great
fires at their festivals In February,
May, August and November. Wales
seems -to hare-been a, country espe
cially tenaclouaf this custom. Each
family used to make Its own fire, and
aa it waa dying out each member
wouldtthrow a white, stone into It, the
atones being marked for future Iden
tification. Tben all aald tbelr pray
ers and went to bed, and in the morn
ing they tried to find all the atones
ngaln. If any atone was missing, it
betokened that the owner of it would
die within a year.
Some superstitions are' pretty and
picturesque and attractive; this waa
one of the many which were cruel as
well as,plcturesiuc. It would take but
a slight accident to cause a fright that
might be actually, dangerous to a su
perstitious person, and it would not
be hard for an enemy of such -a per
son to cause that fright by stealing
hia stone from theiflre.
