Edison's Storage Battery

Thomas a. Edison announces that
after three years special work. he has
perfected his storage battery for wagons,
autos and other road vehicles. The bat :
terry is light in weight, indestructible,
costs little to charge, and does three
times the work Of the ordsnary storage
battery. 1t is freely predicted his in
vention will soon reyolutionize the an
tomoblle business and make great chan
ges in the propulsion of many other
road vehicles. Mr.. Edison himself ex-
pscts to see his battery take the place of
horses on delivery wagons of all kinds
in cities. and he believes thatin time the
principle will be extended to the propul
sion Of street cars, railroad trains and
steamships.

leading paper in Neshoba county
that Meridian need not hereafter
bother itself by soliciting trade from
the people Of that county, as they
had somewhat sonred on that city,
besides when the railroad went
through, which will not be long, they
will be as independent as wood
sawyer and will not speak to Nerd
ian over a wireless telephone.
1t is hoped that this will not be
considered slur on Meridian, but
taken, as it is given. in the best o

Merchants PREDICAMENT.

Meridian is beginning to wink the
other eye. 1t has been Boosting all
along about its great railroad facili-
ties and the fact that its wholesale
merchants were so we'll established
and had such a cinch on all the
adjacent country that no other city
could get TIVE bits worth of trade in
their territory. The Progress all
along has beer telling Meridian that
she had better go to work and estab-
lish manufacturing Industries and be
ready in case of crash, for the
Progress saw that if the city was
surrounded by railroads and not one
touching it the trade would natural
ly drift away and would only leave a
little dust in its path.
The Illinois Central branch run
ming across the state in the northern
portion cut off all trade of Alfalfa and
some other counties that Meridian
ence enjoyed, and now the Mobile.
jackson and Kansas City road which
proposes to run through Newton and
Neshoba counties will take the
balance of the trade in the western
and northern portion, when Merid-
ian will have to cultivate a very
close friendship with the western
part of Alabama if it holds the trade
of that section, which will be about
all it will get.
AS the Progress has more than
once stated Meridian will have to
establish manufacturing industries
or build railroads of its own to tap
these roads that are running all
around IL. 1t was only the other day
that the statement came from the

Roosevelt's Lack of Consideration
for the South.

for the South,
The Herald recently took occasion to
draw contrast between Mckinley and
Rooscv welt. as to the south-expressi sing
the belief that the latter was of all our
presidents the least in appreciation of
the distinc.ives Of southern trait and
type" And that he had never uttered
a word of sympathy for the southern
people in their days of trial and travail,
or Of tribute to the constancy and forti-
tude displayed in wrestling with the race
problem" That Judgment was cOrreb'
Grated by certain upcslled for and
untimely sectional reminders and re6oc-
tions, in the course or the Presidents
Arlington Memorial day address thus
referred to by the New York Herald:
ia the Essay on Discourse, p9nned
800 years ago, Sir Francis Bacon lays
stress upon the fact that discretion of
speech is more than eloquence.
President Roosevelt, il his address
at Arlington Friday, lost sight of this
important truth. He was eloquent in
his tribute to the man who fought for
the Union and In his defense of the
troops in the Philippines, bnt indiscreet
in making needless reference to things
scarcely in keeping with the sentiment
Of the occasion and calculated 10 stir up
unpleasant feelings"
The things referred to were southern
lynchinge, and the charges of cruelties
against the Union troops by resolution
of the confederate congress in 1892,
which was thus held up to incite resent
ment forty yeays after.
Verify, these men, who thus foully
slsndered you, have their heirs today in
those who traduce our army in the Phil
ippines: who fix their eyes on individual
deeds of wrong so keenly that at last
they become blind to the great work of
peace and freedom that has already been
accomplished.
Here we have the proof that the
mangnancy that found its vent in the
slanderous jnvective against JEFF Davis
twenty years ago, still fingers; to out
crop on day of all others that should
be non-political non. sectional, and free
from malice and uncharity. The New
York Times, which save on rars occa
sions is Roosevelt admirer and sup
porter, "imagines southern statesmen
who resent the presidents remarks will
seem to most Americans to be supersen-
sitive.' Well, We have always stood
for effacement of sectionalism and Sec
tional seals. Bat we are constrained to
imagine" that any southern states
man." CT southern man, who does not in
his heart feel resentlul over this gratu-
itously mean and ms ndacious fling at
those they are heirs of, who are now
in their graves, is not sensitive" at all.
And we believe this to be not only the
view most Americans will take, but that
it is the one entertained by the Times !;
which "agrees that the president would
have done better to omit his reference to
the southern confederacy. Vicksburg
