Atlanta Constitution: r.:. -.
"Some time ago the announcement was
made in these columns that ex-Mayor
Courtenay, of Charleston, s. e., was en-.
of Horny Timrod. In undertaking this
labor Of love, OK Mayor Courtenay de-
serves tho warm approval of Southern
people, not only on account of the in
trinsio merit of tho poems which have
como from the pom of Henry Tilrrod, but
also on account of the fact that tho pro-
ceeds arising from the sale of tho publ
cation will bo applied 10 the erection of
somo appropriate memorial over the
grave OF tho poot. Thirty .yoars havo
elapsed since tho gentlo spirit of Horny
Timrod forsook its frail tabernacle of
flesh, and certainly the fullnoss of time
has arrived for Southern people to fit
tingly honor tho genius of tho poet who
interpreted Southern sentiment with
such fidelity during tho ovontful days of
tho war" ~.

REALISTICALLY REPRODUCED.
The carbohydrates Fight Given in
Moving Pictures at Convention HILL

Moving Pictures at Convention HILL.
The reproduction of the recent Jeffries-
Sharkey prize fight by moving pictures at
Convention Hall this week is an exceeding
ly creditable exhibition. The photographers
were enabled to obtain excellent pictures
of the contest, and these are transferred
to the big screen with startling fidelity.
The differences between the views and the
fake ones recently presented in this city
asNthe Jeffries-Sharkey fight pictures were
easy to detect. An enthusiastic gathering
saw the pictures yesterday afternoon and
the report that circulated regarding the
exhibition was so favorable that another
large assemblage was present in the even

pictured SO wildly that 1t requires but lit
tie imagination to transport oneself to the

spectators can be readily recognized Not
the least interesting of the scenes are those
taking place between the rounds Good
judgment was exercised in not combining
the pictures to portraying only the actual
exchange of blows. The agitation of the
original assembly. the characteristics of
well-known sporting men, the excitement
of the spectators, the strained interest with
which they followed the varying fortunes
of the fghters-all were faithfully reuro
duced, eand with distinctness and free

very soon.
Consul Bergh of Gothenburg. Sweden,
thus writes to the State Department in re-
gard to automobiles and electric power
plants:
Many business men here think that the
import of motor carriages into Sw eden, IL
once properly started. will be considerable
provided they can be made durable neat in
appearance, safe and easy to handle, and
not too expensive. Cab owners, especially
in Stockholm, considering the advisa-
bility of purchasing motor carriages, and
a short time ago they sent experts to Ber-
lin, to study and examine motor cabs
manufactured in Germany. The report
they made on their return was not alto
gether favorable. They said that auto
mobiles which in catalogues seemed to be
ideals of perfection in reality did not come
up to expectations.
The chief objection to the motor cabs
with accumulators or storage batteries,
was that they could not make sharp enough
turns. The cabs were built with the bat
teries placed close to the back wheels
The steering power of the front wheels was
so small that the carriages could turn only
in very large curves, making them unfit
for use on narrow streets. Another incon-
venienee was that as soon as the cabs got
on road covered with layer of sand an
inch thick, they stopped helplessiy.
Besides these Inconvenience, common to
French and German motor cabs alike it
was said that few of the carriages exhibited
were of the type desired-that is, with room
for from two to four passengers. Hunting
wagons, motor cycles. delivery wagons, etc.,
for sportsmen and business houses We're
plentiful; but cabs were fewer and as a
rule, clumsy i'll appearance. German
manufacturer promised, however. to RENE
dy the faults mentioned; but it is not yet
generally known whether the prospective
purchasers and the manufacturer can agree
on terms. Manufacturers of motor car
riages usually. demand one-fourth of the
price for thirty days trial, while the cab
owners in question desire free trial before
purchase, because they are unwilling TO buy
such expensive machines without being sure
that they are practically useful
AT present there is only a petroleum mo-
tor carriage and light motor cycle in
,Gothenburg. both of French MANUFACTURES

rage in Stockholm: but American manu-
facturers ought TO pay attention, also, TO
