a. HILTON bicycles.
From Harper's Weekly

The historian who Will write the true
history of the closing years OF the nine
teenth century will be compelled TO say a
great deal about the growth influence,
and effects OF the bicycle habit during that
period.
The points which he VIII feel obliged 20
cover are as numerous as they are fIftef-
esting. The bicycle, as the legitimate sue
cessor of the velocipede of a quarter of d
century ago, was taken up as an appli-
ance for exercise and pleasure. These II
has furnished TO an extent not ANTICIPATED
by Its most enthusiastic devotees In adj
diton, it has passed beyond any limits Of
mere pleasure or exercise. 1t has forced
itself on the attention of the great war
powers of the earth. II remains to be
seen what warlike purposes 1t may serve
but it is safe to say that in the next Eu-
ropean war the first man of the invading
force in the enemys country will be
mounted on Q wheel. It hsls conquered
society. Aristocracy in England and
France. as well as In this country, has
recognized its worth. In adopting 1t the
idle and luxurious classes have. rendered
service by enormously increasing its
popularity. The hundreds of thousands
who might have hesitated between desire
and dread in the uncertainties TO Vheth-
or ii was the proper thing have had their
doubts cleared away. A custom which has
the sanction OF the Faubourg St.-Gerrnain,
of the British peerage, of the ifichaux Club
of Newport, and of the local -Four Hundred
in each one of our great cities is as frmly
established as the constitution with its
subsequent amendments.
In this country it Is creating. as we
have said, social and economical condi-
lions worthy of the attention Of tho his
torian. II may not be true, as Mrs. An
thony says, that woman is riding to
suffrage on the bicycle" but 1t Is undoubt-
eddy true that she is riding. to greater
freedom, to a nearer equality with man.
to the habit of taking care Of herself, and
TO new views on the subject or clothes
philosophy. The woman on the wheel is
altogether novelty and is essentially a
product of the last decade of the century.
In this country alone the sales Of bicyc-
les for this year are estimated at half
million. These figures are mere guesges.
but there is nothing incredible or i'm
probable about them. 1t is certain that
we are only at the beginning OF what is
called the bicycle craze, and the indications
are that the craze Is not getting ready to
disappear, evep If it is not getting ready,
as is more likely, to supereede all other
methods of locomotion.

His remarks were highly interesting
and instructive and showed how by CO.
operation the first factory was built In
Carolina. The same could be done here
for Florida had the richest rock on earth
and manufacturing could be done here
cheaper than elsewhere, of better grade
and hence more valuable TO consumer
Mayor Reardon presided and the meet
ing instructed him to appoint
standing committee of nearly
hundred members with an executive
body Of FIVE, TO appoint subcommittee,
and enlarge the standing committee.
Capt. Wells said 800, 900 was needed and
he would raise $4,000 Of IT,

the raw material. A home market would
be a great relief, il would partially re-

MIR. CHISHOLM WILL NOT RuN.
Alderman Harry WfIIInk Talked OF
by the Citizens Club Faction.

Mr.. W W. Chisholm has practically de-
cided that he will not be a candidate for
representative 10 succeed the late ]. ].

be considered out Of the race. II he was
ever in H.
Mr.. Chisholm's decision is understood to
have been Influenced by the directors Of
the Chatham Sank. Of which he is presi-
dent, most OF whom were not anxious that
he should run
There is a good deal OF gossip as to
who the candidate OF the Citizens Club
will be- There was considerable talk last
night OF Alderman Harry Willink being
the man.
The primary question is likely TO figure
largely in the fight.
1ir. Charlton said. when approached
on the subject, that his objection
to a primary for the purpose of select
ing candidate for representative is sim
ply that primary is entirely useless and
unnecessary. there being no opposition
from any other party. and the election
being left entirely to democrats.
"A primary IS simply an unnecessary
lot Of trouble, Inconvenience and cost"
ne said. i have always opposed prima-
rles, and when chairman of the demo-
cratic executive committee, when the
RADfNSAtAOn 10 CntHSo from the mass
meetings TO the primary system was
adopted I placed myself on record as op-
posed 10 the change. / said then, and l
repeat 1t now, that the mass meetings in
spite of some objectionable features,
were the most satisfactory methods of
getting at the popular verdict. Every
body who took an interest in the Ques-
tons before the party and attended the
work of the mass meeting was always
justified by the result at the polls. In
only one instance vas the decision of the
mass meeting reversed, and in that in
stance the democratic executive commit
tee let down the gates and allowed eve
ryb0dy TO vote as he pleased"
Mr.. Charlton was asked If he thought
mass meeting would give more salts
faction than a primary in the present
instance, and, he replied. that under pres
ent conditions he hardly thought 1t would
The last primary he admitted was fair in
every respect.
When each side is required to put up
men for managers whose honesty is I'M
questioned" he said, there will be no
trouble in securing fair primaries but the
temptation to the ringsters to get control
is too great. A primary with a one-sided
management is the greatest farce in the
world"
Under the present law the justice of the
pedce and ex-oficio notaries of the four
city districts are made ex-of{icio managers
of all state and county elections and the
county commissioners have the right to
appoint only one freeholder and the clerk.
This would put the management almost
entirely in the hands OF Citizens Club
sympathizers.
