THE AUTO AND THE HORSE.

Mr.. Edison thinks he has solved
the problem of the electric storage
battery with machine that will 60
100 miles without recharging. As
consequence he predicts automo-
biles cheap enough for the humb-
lest and the retirement Of the horse
both for carriage and pleasure.
We have heard something like
this before. The electric street car
promised to put the horse ont of
business, and the bicycle was quite
sure it would finish the job. But
the four-legged friend Of man is
still in demand and quite likely it
will so continue to be, even after
automobiles are as common as baby
buggies.
PROFESSIONALLY machine such
as Mr.. Edison describes is cheaper
to keep than a horse; but, as he
intimates, the universal use Of the
automobile requires universal good
roads, and that is a consummation
long way off. Besides there are
certain uses to which the machine
can never be put. 1t cannot cut
across lots or fields, and jump
bitches and fences. 1t cannot be
employed in war. 1t will never be
available for the farm or the
ranch.
Moreover, man will never sur
render the delight of the feel of
the rein. There is a sensation in
striding noble animal or holding
him down on shell road that no
mere thing of tires can supply.
The rider and the driver and his
horse are one. There is compan-
ionship between them, an under
standing. cooperation that is
half the pleasure of going We
can admire an ingenious contriv-
ance like an automobile or a bicy-
Gle, but we can't love it. We may
use it for purely material and bust
ness purposes or fad of the hour,
but we can't pet it.
No, no; inventive genius will
never divorce the pony, the family
or the faithful old carriage
horse, nor the man with real blood
in his veins from the hunter aud
the roadster.
And heaven forbid that anything
should ever come between the mig
ger and the mule.

A REFORM NEEDED.

There is crying need of reform
in our public school system. Just
ice to the children of the State,
the men and women of the future,
demands it, and the interests of
the public welfare require it. The
plea of poverty cannot justify the
present conditions. The State
which neglects its duties in the
matter of education will always be
poor in comparison with States
which show by their works their
appreciation Of the value and I'M
portance of education. UneduCated
communities, like uneducated iu-
dividuals, must inevitably march
IN the rear of modern progress.
Commercial and industrial cOmpe-
tition is constantly growing sharp
err, and the demand for educated
minds and hands for intelligent
leaders, instructors and workers in
the various fields of human en-
deavor, achievement and duty was
never so great as now. Statistics
as to Southern education may be
said to be distressingly unsatisfac-
tory, but they should not be dis
couraging On the contrary, they
should inspire to the greatest ac-
tivity individuals and communities
in the effort to better existing con-
ditions. The matter of State edu-
cation, the improvement of the
public school system should re-
ceive the serious and earnest at
tention of the legislature. Let
those members of it who wish to
do the State some service devote
their best thought and energies to
this vitality important subject

The Monroe News remarks ne

The Monroe News remarks per-
tinently: Louisiana has at all
times more than 2000 penitentiary
convicts Those men could be
more profitable engaged in the con-
struction of public roads and levees
than In raising cotton and sugar
cane. The state has no business
engaging in farming, but it is the
province of the state government
to improve in roads and levees. /"
A great many people think that the
police jury of this parish made a
great mistake when it abolished
road work for the prisoners, who
now have nothing to do but lie
around idle in Jail aud board at the
parish expense. The system of
road work they employed may not
have been Il paying one, but it
could not have been necessary for
them to throw up their hands en-
tirely aud burden the taxpayers
with the support of prisoners many
of whom probably desire nothing
better than to board and lodge
without work while the public pays
the bills.

WHAT DO TRUSTS CARE?

In substituting girls for boys as
messengers in Chicago the tele-
graph companies say that "girls do
not shoot craps or pitch pennies. "
1t does not seem to occur to the
company that street life may lead
into greater sins. Viewed from
any standpoint, it is shameful to
put little girls on the streets as
messengers. Hundreds of the
messengers in great city go to
places no girl can safely enter

But Bro. Foster, do you not re-
member the old saying that "cor
porations have no soulsf" That
being the case, what do corpora

In as much as the call of the Parish Com

dldaJes Tor once, the SAID call should ne |
issued and the meeting held at such time
as TO give ample opportunity for the con-
sideration of a resort to primaries for the |
purpose Of selecting said delegates or can
didates for office, if ii should be the desire
of the committee to do so.
The motion was seconded by DR.. Geo
P. Minyielle and was unanimously carried |
1t was explained by the mover that the |
delay in calling the present meeting was |
not due to any fault on the part Of the
Chairman Of the Parish Committee, but !
to the late date at which the Congress |
sIonal Executive Committee held its own
meeting prescribing the rules and regula-
tons for the congressional convention.
The meeting then adjourned.

THE RICE MARKET.

The demand of the week was
steady, with trifiing increase in
value, although buyers do not take
kindly to the hardening tone re-
flected from strong conditions in
primary markets. Receipts are not
large, in fact, scarcely up to re-
quirements on certain grades
Advices from the South are not
as cheerful as heretofore. On the
Atlantic Cost, harvest is uuder
full Roadway but little threshing
has been done and receipts are
small. The presence of eight"
and "blasted' grains indicates a
reduced yield, as well as falling
away in quality. at New Orleans,
receipts are moderate. Prices Of
cleaned show fractional advance
and market is very strong In
Southwest Louisiana and Texas,
harvest is progressing Quite
deal Of disappointment is expressed
at the yield, and considerable dis
cussion is INDUCED, regarding
probable outcome; the general
opinion being that the expectations
of seeding-time will be largely dis
counted by the actual turnout.
Cables and correspondence from
abroad note better feeling on car
goes, with steady market for spot
cleaned and firm conditions on
forward shipments.

A BAD PRACTICE-ANYWHERE

Our attention has more than once
been called to an unfortunate con-
dition existing in our clty-the
disposition of young men to line
up along the most traversed streets
and smiling and making side re-
marks about ladies who happen to
be passing along One lady, IA
miliar with many Virginia cities,
has made the assertion that this is
the worst city in the State for such
conduct.
In making a criticism Of such
misconduct due allowance is made
for the thoughtlessness Of many
young men, for their full freedom
of the street, and for the further
fact that a few young girls and
ladies invite talk by their actions.
On the other hand, the generality
of ladies cannot and should not be
measured by the few hippant ones
And yet, above all, there's nothing
in any social code justifying an
uncomplimeutary remark about a !
lady Roanoke is Southern
town, and we should all feel NOR
titled to think that our high stand
ard Of Womanly women and manly |
men cannot be fully applied to our
city. The fault IS indeed q griev-
Gus one if it exists to the extent |
charged-grievous in that 4 lady |
name, perhaps her character, is in
volved. The purity of her name
and character is something that
cannot be tempered with Many a
fair and pure girl has been I'M
consciously besmirched by the |
mere mention Of her name with O
significant shrug of the shoulders, /
the lifting of an eyebrow, a mean
ing smile.
Her good name is the immediate
jewel of her soul Nothing is
fairer, more beautiful than that !
jewel; but, like the pure, white
lily or magnolia blossom, mere
touch leaves a blackened spot.
There is no greater hero than he
who, in the crowd upon the street
corner, will resent an uncalled- for !,
remark about passing lady. The
youth or man who would make
such a remark should remember :,
that perhaps along some other
corner bis wife or sister or daught-
err may be passing. Let him ask
what he would say to the !,
one remarking about them. Stoop- !.
ing to this disarms him from de-
those near and dear to
him. =
