IT Is UP TO MERRITT.

Senator Pritchard has invited Presi-
dent Roosevelt to come to the mountains
Of North Carolina and so bear hunting
with Big Tom Wilson. They would fall
and Teddy are both dead shots and love
to finger the trigger. Big Tom has been
accustomed to associate with such men
as Senator Vance and DIR. Mitchell, who
were accustomed to look up to him as a
guide and instructor.
Almost every State in the Union has a
famous bear hunter, and the President
has been invited to go hunting with
nearly every one of them If he accepts
all the invitations and as many bears
are killed as the papers in each State
say their particular hunter has killed,
the bear market will be exhausted for
all time.
The Mississippi papers put forth the
claim that their big bear hunter, With
whom the President has been invited TO
80 hunting, has been known to kill six
bears in one day. We turn this over to
the Asheyille Citizen, which is publish
ed in Big Ten Wilson's bailiwick. Il it
does not tell some fine exploits of Big
Tom that viii put the Mississippi bear
hunter to shaIae, then Fred Merritt has
Host his genius.

THE APPALACHIAN PARK.

In his splendid speech in favor of the
Appalachian park, Senator Depew made
the strong point that in the West 49,
100000 of acres have been reserved for
forests but in the East nothing has been
done to save the forests, which are rapid
~ being dcnuded to the great detriment
of the country. Senator Depew truly said
that continued negligence on the part
of Congress becomes almost crime
Yesterday Senator Simmons made an
exhaustive, powerful and telling speech
in favor of the pending bill. 1t made a
profound impression. Senator Pritchard,
whose home is in the section where the
park is to be located and who has all
along been deeply interested in its es-
adjustment, will speak later.
The outlook is that the bill, carrying
an appropriation OF ten million dollars.
will pass the Senate and will pass the
House if the Speaker permits it to come
to vote.

A GOOD STATE TO EMULATE.

The Norfolk Virginian- Pilot, referring
to the fact that forty medals were award
ed to North Carolina exhibits at the
Charleston Exposition, while Virginia did
not get one, urges Virginia to redeem
itself by making a great exhibit at the
st. Louis Exposition.
Virginia would do we'll to take North
Carolina as a pattern all around-in poll
tics, in business and in manufacturing as
well as in successful advertising. Both
States now have the same representation
in Congress, North Carolina having gain
cd a member by the new census The
Legislature of Virginia modelled its Cor
poration Commission after ours. after
having made a hard fight to enact it into
law. Like North Carolina, too, it seems
to have at last thrown off railroad politi-
cal domination. Both States will need
eternal vigilance if this freedom from
such dictation is preserved.
A few weeks ago Mississippi sent it's
State Auditor to study the insurance
laws and insurance department of North
Carolina desiring to use ours as pattern
for Mississippis new insurance depart
ment.
1t was once said that "North Carolina
is a good State to hail from" That has
all changed, and the saying now is:
North Carolina is a good State to take
as a pattern for other commonwealth"

MR.. EDls0N'S LATEST DISCOVERY

This paper predicted a few days ago
the way from Raleigh to Charlotte. Why
not sooner? If Mr.. Edson's new discov-
cry proves practicable, automobiles will
become as common as ox-carts and there
will be little need of rails. With a
storage battery like Mr. Edison thinks
he has perfected, the transportation prob
lem will have been solved. IN a recent
interview he said:
What l want to see is a first-class
little automobile. the equivalent of the
one horse and buggy which every man
with fair income can easily afford to
purchase now.
The rich, of course, can afford to pay
any price, but what we want is Il reliable
automobile within the reach of men of
limited means. AS about SO per cent of
the population fall within the latter
category, they are the people l want to
see get their own automobiles. At pres
ent the street car is the poor mans
coach, but it will not be SO much longer.
Il have been credited with saying that
we have put the horse out of business.
but that is not strictly accurate. What
intended to say was that with the per-
lection of the electric storage battery
we may say good bye to the horse for
commercial purposes. The storage bat
terry will propel all delivery wagons; the
sphere of its usefulness is unlimited. /
am confident that electric vehicles will
soon supercede all others for city work.
Il have worked night and day, and now
my stomach has gone back on me, but
am more than rewarded by the success
up to the present time of my invention.
Having perfected a storage battery that
has stood more than fair test, l have
no doubt of its ultimate success.
What l am aiming to do is to perfect
a storage battery that will enable us to
furnish an automobile that will be within
the reach of practically everyhody-an
automobile that will be absolutely re-
liable, capable OF high speed and equip
ped with a battery that will run it for
not less than one hundred miles without
being recharge1, and which in point of
endurance will stand a test of not less
than 5000 miles.
Il do not like people to speak of this
invention as a discovery. No one has
any conception OF the genuine nara WOTK
that has been done in the matter of this
storage battery. l think the problem has
now been solved and that the future will
be clear sailing.
Il have demonstrated conclusively to
my satisfaction that this battery can be
used with great economy in commercial
life and that a vehicle fitted with it
will run approximately 100 miles on a
single charge" said Mr.. Edison. mo
vehicle used for business purposes in a
city like New York can by any POSSIBLE
ity travel 100 miles a day, so that in this
respect alone the storage battery must
necessarily usurp the place now held by
the horse.
'tThe endurance-test automobiles for my
battery are now being prepared l have
ordered five of them, and we hope to
move one of them out about Monday or
Tuesday. Then we will keep them at
it until they have run not less than 900
miles in all sorts of weather, in all con-
ditions and over all imaginable styles of
road, both hilly and level. l have no
fear of the result"

In will presented to Clerk of the
Court l.. R. Mayo several days ago for
probate, the testator directs her execu-
tor to pay over to each one of her rela-
tives five cents as a keep sake. for fear
they may think she had forgotten them
at the time the paper was written. An
other popularity of the will is, although
she had two children they were included
in, the five cent donation, and she
willed all of her real and personal prop
erty to a lady with whom she had been
living since the death of her husband.
