A SPLENDID EULOGY
PRONOUNCED BYMR. JOHN R. MORRIS ON
THE LATE COL. UZZELL.
Resolutions Adopted by the Commercial Travel
Iers of Baltimore About Popular
Hs~" North Carolnian,

Baltimore, Md. Sept 1S.-(Special.)-
BY the courtesy of Colonel Shannon a
argely attended meeting of the CONNER
.ial travellers of Baltimore was held ii
he parlors of the Carrollton Hotel on
Tuesday, Sept. IA, to pay last sad trib
lite of respect to the memory of ColOne
A. II. Uzzle, who died at his late home
Wilson's Mills, n. c., ION Saturday
the 18th instant.
Col. Uzzle was for many years the
popular representative of the wellknown
firm of N. III. Lauchheimer d Sons in
he States of North and South Carolina
md his death is greatly deplored by his
many friends and business associates.
The meeting was organized with VIII
son c. Lamb as chairman and G. A.
Sullivan as secretary. A committee on
resolutions was appointed consisting of
II. J. Motley, chairman, John r. Morris,
ames A. Higgs, +. Y. Ramsay, Dennis
F, Madigan, T. T. Bobbitt and A. A.
Bristow.
On behalf of this committee Mr.. nj. j.
Motley. chairman, presented the follow
ing resolutions in very eloquent adj
dress:
"Having heard with profound regret of
he death of their highly esteemed COM
panion, Col. A. T. Uzzle, the commercial
travellers Of Baltimore, who represent
her business interests in the states OF
North and South Carolina, at meetng
hold in Baltimore on the l4th day OF
Sentember. 1897, desire to express IN a
tansihle form some evidence of their APP
p raee Of their departed brother;

man? AT no point in his interview does
the Governor deny that such was his
purpose. His statement, "Mr. SmatherS'
name was put in without my knowl-
edge" seems TO bear out the suggestion
that the Governor was fixing to give
himself possession of that road. He
says that if that bill had been passed.
the road would not have been LEASED to
]. Pierpont Morgan. Unless the Gov
ernor was to be the sole proxy, how does
he know? Mr.. Smathers, who was NAM
ed as proxy, champions the lease. The
Board of Directors Smathers and Jim
Moody (the chief lobbyist for the South
ern Railway would have named would
have been such men as T. B. Keough
and II. l.. Grant. and it is well known
what they would have done.
There was no warrant for the Gov
ernor's statement that the road was in
partisan control" and therefore sucn
could not have been the purpose of the
Moody bill. If it was not lob" it was
an attempt to put Their DAD in partisan
control"
That 1895 Moody bill had the possibili-
ties of ''joL" in it as big as some of
those engineered by Swepson and Little
field.
RECORD OF THE BILL.
The bill contained the following en-
tries:

THEY READ THEIR DOOM.
(Wadesboro Messenger.)

All the Republicans, and number OF
the less self-respecting Populist papers
are engaged in a desperate attempt tc
stem the tide that is setting in in North
Carolina in favor of government OF
white men for white men. These sheets
grow hysterical at the least insinuation
hat the negroes want office, and when il
pointed out that the great number OF
rapes and outrages that have taken
place in the South in the past four or
five months are traceable to our changed
political conditions, they froth at the
mouth like unto dogs with hydrphobia.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY "a, 1897

John Bull is crying out against the
invasion OF his iron and coal and tin
markets by the American product. 1t
is only a, few years ago that the free
traders in these United States rfdicul-
ed the idea OF this country turning
out tin plate under any conditions,
saying that all such plate must come
from Wales, even what was dipped in
this country. Now Wales complains
that not only the tinpiate Of America
is underselling theirs in Wales, but
that the iron base Of the plates is al
50 imported from the United States
and used in dipping there. 1t is a de
monstrated fact that with the same
wages here as paid abroad this coun
try can undersell the world, for ma
chinery is better. 1t is to protect Iabo
that tariffs are needed.

The true inwardness Of the causes
that led TO the resignation of Consul
General Lee may not be accurately
known, whether he asked for Ameri-
can warships to back his demand for
the release of American prisoners held
for assassination or NOT, but it Is
known that his self respect as an Off
cial OF the American government
promoted his resignation where he
found that his good offices for the de-
Tense OF his fellow citizens were not
backed by his government

It is asserted that there is 4 distinct
understanding between the outgoing
and the incoming administration on
Cuban afairs.and that the Mckinley
Sherman action is going to be along the
lines OF the Cleveland Olney malad-
ministration. The Light does not so
believe, but il such is the case 1t were
better that William Mckinley had not
been elected president. 1t is high
time that the disgraceful role at
Washington, in it's refusal to protect
Americans in Cuba came to a perpet-
ual end. 1t is not change Of persons
in the administration Of the govern
ment that is needed any more than a
change, radical and thorough, Of prin

LEE IS AN AMERICAN,

Consul General Lee has not dfsap-
pointed the Just expectations Of she
people OF the United States as to his
ingram Americanism. Failing in Sc
curing from the government at WASH
ington, as administered by Mr.. CleVe-
land and Secretary 0lney, such orders
for the protection OF American citi-
zens in Cuba, as were necessary to
preserve the dignity of the American
government and the lives of American
citizens, Consul General Lee has ten
dered his resignation. This step was
rendered necessary by the fatal lack
of Americanism in the conduct of the
foreign department of the United
States government. 1t is sad COM
ment upon the conduct Of the foreign
department that two efficient consul
generals have been lost to Cuba
throuh the inattentiOn or worse Of the
state department One was with
drawn because Spain thought him too
ready 10 defend Americans In Cubs,
who had been thrown into
prison by Spanish authOri-
ties; the other is obliged to
resign, because his government will
not sustain him in his efforts to pro-
tect American citizens in Cuba. Com
ment is useless. 1t will be a relief to
the whole country OF every political
name and class when a new president
is inaugurated who has some decent
regard for the dignity of American
citizenship and who Will use the right
full powers of the Nation to defend
those citizens who are In peril at the
hands Of foreign barbaTTty.

PROVIDE FOR THE A. r. A.

The approaching session OF the In
ternationaI Association OF Ticket
Agents in this city affords the people
of San Antonio an opportunity to put
their best foot foremost in way that
will have practical results in the fu-
ture. This International ASSOCIATION
represents the United States and Cana
da. The session to be held here will
be the seventh annual meeting Of the
association. These men can influence
more travel this way than any other
set of men on earth, unless possibly
the National Editorial association.
They come here in order that they may
| better become acquainted with this
| city, understand its advantages and
the section of the state contiguous, and
thereby be better able to give intelli-
gent direction to the tourist travel
seking winter residence in the most
desirable locations. This association
has been offered the hOspitalities Of
San Antonio, by the Business Mems
club. That offer should be backed by
the business men and the official
heads of the city. The least that
should be done is to furnish them at
our expense comfortable place in
which to hold their sessions, and Il
complete view Of the city and its in
situations. such as can be afforded by
a complete tour Of our electric lines.
This would cost our people only tri-
flC, and if in connection there with
there should be such public reception
and welcome to our midst as would
convince them that we were in earn
est in inviting them here and glad to
see them in our midst, it would be
all that would be expected. II more
were done so much the better. These
people are those who in coming here
come to do business for themselves
and the lines they represent. As they
see us and understand us 80 will they
represent us, and that seeing and I'M
Outstanding depend upon Us mainly.
These business men are billed to open
their sessions here on the 10Th OF
March, and there is no time to be
lost, in making preparation, for their
reception. The cattlemen meet here
1t will be remembered on the same
date, and it is in the power OF San
Antonio this time to make such prep
arations for both as will give these
ticket agents a touch Of our far away
western hospitality and business en-
ergy and public spirit that Will count
for thousands Of winter visitors here
another season. While this is the bus
mess view OF it, the hospitabne reputa-
ton of the city is at stake, and San
Antonio can not afford to be written
down as Galveston was for her lack
Of courtesy during the battfeship re-
ception. The Business Mems club will
do all in their power to make this &C.
casion a profitable one to San Antonio
and in so doing should be seconded by
the municipal authorities and the bus
mess houses of the city. Between
the ticket sellers and the cattlemen
San Antonio should be alive.

A Giant I mbrclla.


The Paris exposition had it's Eiffel tower,
Chicago had its Ferris wheel Nashville
had its giant seesaw. The department of
concessions Of the Omaha Mississippi
exposition of 1898 has also received an ap-
plication for space for the erection of a
novel mechanical device. 1t resembles the
framework of a gigantic umbrella more
than anything else which might be MEL
toned The part corresponding to the stick
of the umbrella is an immense cylinder,
thirty feet in diameter, constructed of
steel plates, firmly rivited, making a
'.standpipe" which rears its head 80 feet
above the level of the ground. At the eX-
treme top of this cylinder are fastened
tw elve long arms resembling the ribs OF an
umbrella. These are steel trusses reaching
almost to the ground. At the lower end Of
each of these ribs is suspended a car for
carrying passengers, each car having a
capacity for twenty persons.
These monster ribs are raised by n.y.
draulic power acting by means of steel
cables operating through the cylinder, aid
ed by a mechanism greatly resembling that
portion of an umbrella which comes into
action when the umbrella is opened. By
means of this mechanism the gigantic
arms are raised until they are horizontal,
the cars in the meantime being carried on
ward and upward until they reach point
80 feet above the ground, the diameter OF
the huge circle formed by the suspended
cars being also $50 feet. When the highest
point has been reached another mechanism
comes into play and the suspended cars
are swung slowly around in a circle, after
which they are lowered to the ground The
sides of the cars are of glass, so that the
passengers may secure an extensive view
of the surrounding country.
