To the Editor: One of the most po-
tent factors in smoothing the asperities
of Red Wars horrid 'front.' and tie
inconceiyable miseries that follow III
the wake of tempest, plague, pestil-
ence and famine" is that wonderful or
ganization known now throughout the
civilized world as the RED Cross Associa-
tion," which we owe to that distinguish
ed humanitarian and philanthropist, Mr..
Henry Dunnant. of Geneva. Switzerland.
The Red Cross Association is an in
ternational organization for relief III
public disasters, and for nursing anu
hospital service IN wars and epidemics.
1t is self-supporting, i. e., it Is not sup
ported by the citizens or State wherein
it is called to work.
1t is a thoroughly organized and OF
ficered body, governed by distinct code
of laws, and making formal reports OF
its work once year to the central CON-
= iftee IN Geneva. the headquarters If
the Society.
The origin of its offlcial existence u
briefly as follows:
l.
citizen of Geneva, Switzerland, nrst
suggested the international idea of hos
pital association to be known as .Ihe
Red Cross Association" to the German
Society of Public Utility, at meeting
held in that city February 9th, 1865.
Al. Dunnant's suggestion was adopted,
and committee appointed consisting OF
General Dupour, commander-ln-cnlef OF
the Swiss army: DR.. Mounier, DR.. APP
pia and M. Dunnant.
AS n result of their efforts an Inter
national Conference met at Geneva III
September. 1863 There were present
eighteen official delegates, representing
fourteen different governments: SIX dele
gates from association, seven unaccfeo-
tied: md the Geneva commute; thirty
six in all.
General Dupour presided, and Prince
Henry XIII, of Reuss. delegate from
The Order Of the knights of 81. John OF
Jerusalem, served as vice-president.
At their first conference the frame
work of an international convention was
made, and at the conference OF 1864,
held in Geneva. October 2, this was
forr,nlly adonted and became binding
on the sixteen Governments that had
sent accredited representatives.
The plan was simple and comprehen-
sive. 1t was decided to form national
committees with subordinate sections to
aid them Each national body was to
be put in communication with all the
other federal governments. The inter
national work emained in the hands OF
the Geneva committee. The Red Cross
National bodies III time of war are re-
ouired TO be on hand end furnish aid to
tho sick. wounded and helpless.
The volunteer bands are formed into
corrs end hound TO serve a definite pc
riod and not 10 meddle or interfere in
arv way with military matters.

AMEND THE LIBEL LAW.
Charlotte observer.)

1t is hoped that the Legislature viii
give considerable attention to the meas
ure before it to amend the libel law Of
the State This paper need not tell its
readers that none of them despises a
reckless and licentious press more than
it does. The newspapers need to be held
by the law to a proper accountability
for their utterances. and yet they ought
to have an even chance under law
with prosecutor, and this they 60 not
now enjoy. A case in point: a Hen
Jacksonville paper recently reported the
arrest of e. E. Britton, charged with
forgery. The Durham Sun copied the
news item. identifying the arrested party
as Prof f. +. Britton-a native of
Charlotte. by the way-an educator who
has taught ut various points in the
State. when it was another Il. E. Brit
ton altogether. 1t was such an error as
any newspaper might have m de, and
there is no reason to believe tha+ there
cas- malice in it. As soon as the
Srn was advised Of its mistake it made
full and ample correction, but Prof. Brit
4on has brought q suit for libel against
it. and without meaning to discourage
Editor Robinson. we fear that undor the
law MS it stands he is in for it, How a
prosecutor can enjoy money recovered
under such circumstances we cannot
conceive, but this is the state of the
case.
Newspaper men are entitled to no
more consideration from the lew than
butchers or bakers, or candlestick max
ers. but they are entitled TO as much,
and we hope the present General As
semhlv will give it to them by passing
the bill now before it to amend the libel
law.

am fully persuaded that the Harris
Lithia Water possesses efficacy in the
treatment of adflictions of the Kidney
and the Bladder unequaled by any other

This opinion is based upon observa

/ have prescribed it freely and almost
uniformly with benefit in the medical
maladies above mentioned.
