To Be Remodeled.

AS will be seen by the an
nouncement of Mr.. W. G. Beard

Mr.. Beard contemplates ex.

changes in the interior of his es-

lGN h&J8 H8s D6on the most
severe that has been experienced
in this section since the msmor-
able cold spell in February, 1899
The cold wave arrived last Tues
day night, the thermometer hav-
ing dropped forty degrees in 2
little more than twelve hours.
At three O'Clock last Tuesday
afternoon the mercury registered
fifty degrees Farenheit,i while at
seven o'clock on the following
morning it stood at nine. We'd
uesday was a day the like of
which has seldom been witnessed
in Columbus. The sun shone
bright and clear, and the day
was as perfect as far as appear
ance was co lcerned as if It were
June, but the atmospheresswas
cold and biting, and it was a
hardship instead of delight to
be out in the GLORIOUS winter
sunshine.
The weather continued cold
throughout Thursday and as the
light approached dark clouds be-
gan to gather. Friday dawned
bleak and dismal and both sky
and atmosphere seemed to indi-
cate the approach of . snow
storm. The day wore on, how
ever, and no snowflakes appeared.
The cold weather, as was to
have been expected. brought
many hardships. Not only did
the poor and unfortunate suffer
from thelbiting blasts of the win
ter's wind but the wealthy aristo-
crat also came in for large share
of discomfort and annoyance.
Water pipes bursted in many
places, and on last night the bar
Der shops of the city were well
patronized by people who found
it impossible to take a bath at
home.
A cold spell like the one we
have experienced during the past
few days always serves to bring
to mind and emphasize the mis-
take which the people of the
South have made for many years
past in the erection OF their stores,
dwelling houses and public build
ings. These structures are
nearly all erected with no provis-
ion for heat except that given by
stoves or open fire places and in
extremely cold weather it is i'm
possible to thoroughly heat a
building in this manner. There
are several buildings in Column
bus in which any where from five
to twenty five open fires are kept
constantly burning and where
the halls are continually cold.
Any one of these buildings could
be heated with steam or hotwater
at about one half the cost of the
open fires, and not only would
the rooms be warm but the halls
would also be warm and COM
Portable. The man who erects a
building withou making provis-
sion for steam or hot water heat
max es a costly error, and 1t is
hoped that this fact will soon be
res lied by the people of the
South.

TRADING STAMPS.

The use of trading stamps and
the many catchpenny methods
of alluring trade which have been
extensively used by the mer-
chants and business men of Co.
lumbus are beginning to be seri-
ously considered by them and it
would not be surprising if their
use was discontinued altogether.
The trading stamp, for illustra-
ton, is the best feature to be
taken as an exam pile for crit
cism. As long as the trading
stamp was restricted to one
house or to any one line of mer-
camille undertaking, it served as
an advantage, but where it is
generally used. as in this city,
all engaged in it are placed on
the same basis and the merchant
only has an additional source of
worry and expense to contend
with, for his competitor is offer
ing the same inducement to the
public for trade.
The people have little to lose
in the abolition of the trading
stamps and similar methods of
mercantile enterprise. Every
man should know that in his
purchase the cost of the STAN ps
allowed him is figured in and if
not in the cost it has to be rec
Oned with in the volume of trade
done, for no house would under
take to offer such inducements
unless d corresponding return
was promised. The business has
grown to such an extent liz Co.
lum bus that it has ceased to be
an advantage and it is now
positive drawback, profting little
to the purchaser or the merchant
selling the goods. Legitimate
enterprise in every direction is
to be welcomed at all times but
where systems have ceased to be
of value it suggests to all the
advisability of disseminating
them.
The DISPATCH is moved to
these observations by the ex
pressions from the merchants of
this city which it has heard. If
the sentiment of dissatisfaction
in this city is as widespread and
as general as these expressions
would seem to indicate there
should be no difficulty in abolish
ing it. The only obstacle which
such a move would encounter
would be to distinguish legitimate
methods of trade getting from
the valueless methods which
are useless to merchant and Gus
toner alike. Where com petition
is as keen as it is in Colum bus
the enterprise and progressive
spirit of the merchants is con
Stantly manifesting itself ia new
systems and devices to attract
the buyer and to distinguish the
worthy and legitimate from the
would be the trouble.
In no other way could this be
regulated and controlled except
by organization for mutual pro-
lection. If they were organized
and with board or com mittee TO
pass upon such matters their
would be overcome.
We suggest to them if they
wish TO establish their business
here on a good basis and desire
to confine their enterprise to
legitimate lines and undertakings
TO organize such an association
which would have the control and
regulation of such matters. Not
only could these matters be reg
ulated but the matter of rates and
other such subjects as are prop
erly within their realm could be
discussed and considered with a
view of securing relief.
