THE WIDE TIRE COMING.

La the excitement about other
things the important fact should not
be overlooked that the Legislature has
passed the bill giving the broad tire
TO Charlotte township. nor should it
30 overlooked that the credit for this
Legislation is due to the untirinp and
persistent efforts Of D. P. Hutchison.
Esq the progressive and enlightened
chairman OF the road trustees Of the
township. He inaugurated this move
ment before the Legislature of 1899
and. though it was defeated then he
has not permitted it to sleep since.
Thus in another matter important to
the material interests Of the people.
Mecklenburg leads again as it led in
the matters OF the stock law and good
roads. This wide tire movement en-
countered opposition as did those. and
there are doubtless those who will
protest against it still, but this op-
position. like that to the no-fenss law
and good roads legislation. will sub
side, and after fair trial everybody
will see its advantages and be in
favor OF it. There is nothing harsh
or oppressive about the act; it doe,
not apply to all vehicles. and to those
TO which it does apply it is not ap-
Plicable at once, but gradually. We
are clearly OF opinion that thi. i.
good legislation, since by common
consent the wide tire makes draft,
lighter on solid roads and will pre-
serve the good roads which the
county already enjoys~-which are so
great comfort to it's own citizens
and so great a credit to it abroad

CAPT. ASHE TO WRITE A HISTORY

We hope for veritication of the re-
port, given currency in the Raleigh
correspondence of the Observer, that
Capt. 5. A. Ashe will write history
of North Carolina. A history of the
State is one OF its crying needs. The
nearest approach we have to such a
thing is Wheeler's History. and that
was published about 1852. Moore's
History. published in 1880, is scarcely
to be regarded. Wheeler. HISTORY
was much ridiculed at the time of it's
appearance, and certainly it might
nave been much improved, but it is
the repository of great deal Of valu-
able information and is so arranged
that its Information is accessible. and
1t remains the best we have, though
being near half century old it is far
out CT date. We do not think of any
one who is quite so we'll qualified as
capt. Ashe to write history of the
State. lie knows much about North
Carolina; he has the temperament of
historian; he has patience and fond
ness for research, and he has facility
ana lellclty as writer. Capt. Ashe
could do his State no greater service
nor build for himself worthier or
more enduring memorial than by
undertaking this work with which his
name has been associated in the nnb-
lie press as it has long been connect

ism and desire to avenge the Maine.
For months during the time when ex-
element ran high Fitzhugh Lee was
in Havana. He was the most talked
Of man in America. Every paper was
full Of his praise and every patriot
was speaking his name with pride.
His picture was everywhere. his name

Of the hour. The American people
will rejoice that the President has
thus promoted and honored him, the
South especially.-Concord Tribune.
