SENATOR LEE £ OVERMAN.

HOD. Lee 8. Overman, the jun- ior senator from North Carolina, who will address the people of Pitt county at Ayden on the Kith. sod again at Greenville that night, has risen rapidly during the short while he has l>een iu the Senate, and is fast becoming- a nat- ional ti Mire His stand for thr inter*-'' ofthe -h'pTverin the rail- road rat Mil bmnffst him nmmi nently to the front, and nia amend- ment to 'hit Mil, limiting rh« granting ofbjuefio>,s by Federn J courts mid *hic>i •i» secured I1' the face of mwil opp d.rfcin, is ODi of the moat important feature u tb« law iu ir now stands.

Senator Orel nan served 01' many of the most iniportHin com mi t tees of the senate, and took HI active p.irt in all its discussions and deliberatioaa. He secured the DMMge of ;i bill in tie senate (o establish a national forest reserve in the Appalachian mountains—a bill which has made its appear, aree at every session of congress fltr several yiais, but which has never before been passed. Senator Overman alto secured important adcitions to the public buildings bill for North Carolina, all of which goes to show that ho kept at all times the interest of his con- stituent in miod. But perhapB the most important single

achievement of Senator Overman and tbat Which most vitally con- cerns the interests not only of Pitt county but of all North Carolina and the South as well, is the law creating a cotton commission to investigate am', e courage oar cotton trade abroad. The history Of thi» bill is itiotincti e. Re me ibeiiuc tl.e .teat tvifou crop of two yeais ago and the slump iu price. Senator Overman became, coLviiifnl that - lie "ffort should be made b) tne government to pro- mote our foreign trade in c itton prod tit's, and i' i induced a bill to establish a commission lor that purpose. The bill received the support ot ih: Southern member but i' seemed Impossible to secure

enough ii Hue ace to bring it out of committee. Senator Oveiman, however wai i.' I to be caught nap- ping, ami when the appropriations bill came to the senate, ho pio- posed an amendment to that bil', tins bringing the mattei fairly be-

fore the Benste, wheie by active and wise management and by j er- sonal ii-fluence he secured its fav- vorable consideration and the amcodment became a law. The commission is now on its way to the east.

Senator OvsrmaD is one of the stanccbest party men in the Sen- ate.

why be Profane?

To one who will think cooily and

calmly abont human speech, it is

really a puzzle why men nse pro-

fanity. In the first place, most

men know belter, else why will

they not swear in the piesence of

ladies or preachers of the gospelt

Somehow men who swear just feel

like it is not the polite thing to

swea.- before ladies or other distin-

guished presence.

And yet those who are addicted to the habit will forget their po- liteness even emongst strangers and use profanity which often time shocks those who bear,

thongh the man who does the

swearing seems almost nncon- scirpB of what he has said. While it is not becoming in any oue to Bwear anywhere, i.tlierwise" very polite and clever geutlemrn gome- times express themselves in pri- faue language which for Ihp time may shock some one for whom the swearer would have more regaid il he knew him. Recently we heard a man wh.> seemed to be a clever aril acioinplished gentle- man slip some expression of prolanity for which he afterwards wished to apol.gizc, but did not get a convenient Opportunity. It was iu a small company, perhaps all stranger! to each o'her, one ot whom was a minister of the gospel. The company was dis- cussing some current events :>f the day, when the one of unguarded sp eCb said some things which he regretted when he letrned that one of the company was a minis- ter. Ir would have been so niucii better if he had left off the profan- ity entirely And so would be better if men in every walk and c'ncie ot life could learn how use- b ■ S is profanity and would leitve it .vir of their expressions alto* getber. t dies not emphasize, but rather weakens tin st.iteinenl; does not edify the speaker or the nearer, is never of any benefit, iput fiequently eiusee bitter regi t-.

Let ns hope that sometime? men will i t BWI ii go'much. Bcotl i \' ei i' luiniouwealtb.

The Spread of Leproay.

Leprosy is increasing in bolh North and South America. Co- lombia, where there were only 400 lepers forty years ago, is said to have 40,000 now, and many find their way into the United States. Such a medical authority as Dr. Aahmead, who was formerly chief medical adviser to the government of Japan, says the increase is alarm- ing. When leprosy is brought into a new country it takes fifty years for the seeds to take root, and it be- comes epidemic after some 200 years. It has been shown that mosquitoes arc active in transfer- ring the bacilli of leprosy.—Chicago News.

Fruition.

Sir Anthony MacDonnell express- ed the belief the other day that the coming year would see the fruition of those hopes which the liest Irish- men had for inanv years entertain- ed. A correspondent of the Lon- don Times observes that "the mis- use of this word 1 fruition) is one of the commonest errors of educated persona. II is supposed to have Something to do with fruit, whereas it conies from Ihe Latin and means enjoyment Fructifl 'ation or fruc- tnation moans 'fruiting.' The Ox- ford Dictionary puiius out tin t the use of 'fruition, in Sir Anthony's sense, is a eon. m niodorn error."

C.late Lo.tcriea.

State lotteries add to the incomes of foreign governments. In Italy they bring tho government in a sum of nearly C?.50O,Q00 a year. In Prussia the profits of the public lot- tery amount to no less than £4,850,- 000. The Dutch government gets the nice little sum of £50,000 profit out of its lottery. Portugal makes about £70,000 in this way and Den- mark a profit of £88,000, In Brazil, where the government does not it- self run the lottery, but collects a tax on tic receipts of private lot- teries, the sin.mnt realized is £17. 000.— London Queen.

Absentrr.inded. Kimball ('arrow Jias the reputa-

tion of being the champion absent- minded man of Bedford, Mass. On one occasion he called upon his old friend and family physician, Dr. B. E. Sawyer. After a chat of a couple of hours the doctor saw him to the door und bade him good night, say- ing: "Come again. Family all well, I suppose?"

"My heavens!" exclaimed Mr. ('arrow. "Thai reminds me of my errand. My wife is in a fit I"

A HARD WORKED CLERK.

In Paris, M. Olemenceau, minister of the interior, is famous for his caustic wit. The other day he was pa.-sing through one of the rooms at the home otiice when he caught sight of a clerk fast asleep, with hi.' head on his blotting pad. -M. C'!

Perforated S.-iila.

Although the assertion recently in..ile I., an Italian sea captain that the power of sails was increased by their being perforated was ridiculed, it has just been proved that he was right. His theory was that the force of the wind cannot fairly take eCc ■ on an i"(lilted sail because of the cuslron "f immovable air that fills ;:_: Ihe hollow. To prevent the creation and presen if thai cush- ion he pierced his sails with many holes, through which the wind blew, the balance of the air pressure strik- ing against thecanvas and exercising its fall effect. Several experiments have been made on these lines, and the results are declared to have been eminently satisfactory.—Ix;eds Mercury.

It Killed the Dog.

James Lawrence Toole, England's veteran comedian, who died not long ago. once played a practical joke on his dog with futal results, In order to get her hut band home at a rea- sonably early hour after his work in the theater was over Mrs. Toole used lo promise him just as good 11 meal as could Lo found in ir.iy re taurant or club in London. This meal hi wife would provide and leave on the table for the comedian. Toole d'dn't like to disappoint his wife and sn used to give the food I his dog. \'< \ inorninu the pint would lu'ilcri mil Mrs'. Toole hr py. By ill's '"\ice tho cue:, il

managed to 1 ' : :s . bib . er» .: til the dog died of nvei 'ceding.

An Age In Hlcio.*y.

"You are young and I am Mi 1 One f the most formidable Mao:, rebellions was headed by a chief named lloni Ileki. but the British soldiers culled him"'.lohnny llickev." and out of this grew the legend 1 ■ tradition that he was really an Irish- man paying off old scores in the guise of a Maori chief.—Argonant.

Hard Traveling.

Hard traveling had no great ter- rors for a man who recently rode th • 835 miles from Paris to Marseilles strapped to an axle beneath a I'reuch railway car. When d,.-, over- ed at tho Paris station, he wi • < travel sta Bed that be \va 11 ■■ 1 taken for a negro. However, when he was handed over to the police charged with intent to defraud the railway company, he said he was a Roumanian. Beyond a little stiff- ness he was none the worse.

Lightning Prenka.

A bolt of lightning did some queer things during a thunderstorm near (larstang, Preston, England. It came down the chimney line of a farmhouse, wrenched the carpets up and tore the paper from the walls. Damage was done in every room ia the house, but nobody was injured.
