Governor Mcdaniel is holding the matter
open for final hearing late in the week,

to reject either because of his Independ-
entism, as nc other stripe would probably
suit the people of that county just now.

The Raleigh Life-Saving Ladder

Capt. Randolph A. shotwell. editor
of the Raleigh Farmer and Hechanac,
drafted a plan for reaching persons in
upper stories during a fire, aud sent it to
the New York World. the Sunday after
the Milwaukee fire. 1t did not appear.
We lelrn from the Raleigh VISITOR that
CAPT Shotwell told Sc, eral persons to
whom he described his methods last
month that very likely some Yankee
would catch it up to patent it and make
money out of it. Yesterday the New
York papers brought intelligence that
the plan had been adopted and found
highly successful" This is not the first
time that Southern ideas and inventions
have been appropriated by Northern
fellows without credit. We have read
a description of Capt. Shotwell's plan,
and the accounts of recent trials in New
York as reported both in the Herald and
World, showing ~conclusively that his
suggestions and plan were used. The
correspondence is too complete to allow
of any other Observation-Disclosures
Star.
Thanks; and the same to the other
Brethren who have mentioned the mat
ter. We have received an answer from
the Chief of the New York Fire Depart
ment admitting the receipt of our letter
in January, and not denying that the
New Life-saving Corps is based upon
our plans. but alleging that a somewhat
similar ladder known as the ''Pompier
Ladder was Invented in st. Louis ''some
time ago."
Strange that it was never heard of be-
fore, and that amid the multitude Of
suggestions for rescuing imperilled per-
sons, nobody happened to know that st.
Louis had such a Ladder. The New
York press with one voice spoke of our
invention as a New one, etc.
Certain it is that the plans We sketch
ed in our portfolio nearly one year ago,
and plainly described in our lettef to the
World, dated Jan. Is, 'S3, were adopted
by the New Corps Of Life Savers" 10
every particular including size of lad
der, shape, construction, method of
using, number of experts, etc. 1t looks
a little shabby to try to deny us the sim
pie return of Ghanks for a suggestion
which is deemed of sufficient value to be
seized and put into service, as soon as
mentioned.
