Electricity may in time be used in
every home for purifying drinking
water. An electric discharge, taking
place between two glass tubes, one
inside the other, whose surfaces fac
Ing each other, are coated with met
al, develops ozone In the space be-
tween the tubes. Ozone kills germs
and when some simpler means OF de-
veloping II has been devised, and
kitchen apparatus which can be
connected with the current from
electric light wires, has been invent
ed for this purpose, the problem Of
pure drinking water will have been
solved. A Frencbman Is said by the
FIaDkfortcr Umshau, to have invent
ed such AN apparatus which works
successfully.
This apparatus consists OF small
close box with metal cover which Is
conductory with the bottom. The
box contains an ozone developer, an
interrupter and tin tube. The
ozone passes through cotton stop
per which frees 1t OF dust and germs
contained In the air and then through
the tin tube into the water with
which 1t is mixed. The action OF
the mixer can be interrupted at any
moment. The apparatus will purify
90 gallons Of water per hour. -Popu-

He Had Undisputed Lead :
ership for Twenty Eight
Years.
No Other North CaroIiaian Has Been
So Powerful or Held So important
a Position in the National Halls
OF Legislation.

At the meeting of the State Liter
airy and Historical Society of North
Carolina on Tuesday night October
nth, there will be a discussion with
reference to memorializiag the Legis-
lature\ to appropriate the money to
place a statue OF the late Governor
Vance in Statuary Hail. Washington
There will be addresses in favor of
the proposition by ex-Judge Armistead
Burweil and Hon. Locke Craig, OF
Aaheville. This state ought to put
statue OF Vance in statuary Hall in
Washington and it ought also to put
one OF Nathaniel Macon there. They
are way and beyond all comparison
the two best loved and influential and
typical public men North Carolina
has produced. Below we are glad to
give place TO an article from DR.. Dodd
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1905-10-15

mental in bringing about the change
than Vance ever was in bringing our
people TO accept any great State or
National program. 1t has been assert
ed by men of respectable ability and
fine general information that Macon
maintained his unequalled hold upon
the people by resorting to the methods
of q denagogue. But this contention
has never been proven. And to Off
set it / will call attention to the oppo
sition of Macon to Andrew Jackson
for a period of eight years. He even
lectured his own county people about
their love for a man of such despotic
tendency as General Jackson. The
county supported Jackson nevertheless
by Il large majority, yet adhered to
Macon to man. A few years later
Macon declared that he had been mis-
taken in his estimate of Jackson and
gave in his support. When has d
great North Carolinian openly admit
ted his error and still held his place
in the affections of the whole people :?
In fact Macon's influence was SO great
that the doctrines of Henry Clay-ex-
travagant public expenditure and. lati-
tudinous construction of the National
Observation-Disclosures won a foothold in
North Carolina so long as he (Macon)
lived The State is now as positively
opposed to the Clay ideals as in 1886.
SO much for this phase of Macon's
epresentativeness. IN every day life
n simple, unaffected, domestic living
he was as truly a North Carolinian as
Bismarck was German or Gladstone
English. In this / cite the testimony
OF Henry Adams-a student naturally
OF an opposing tendency in political
rheory-and the first American his
torian for MaconS epoch; he says
Macon was the truest possible type of
his honest, upright, sturdy constitu
ents. North Carolina is now and ever
has been the purest democracy in
America Macon was Of all our Ma
tionalist leaders before the civil war
and after the truest most consistent
Democrat. Indeed, Jefferson himself
was less representative of the demo-
cratic faith in human government
than was the old man from Buck
Spring, Warren county. Shall the

(Whose claims by the way, are certain
ly of d high order), there would nave
been any widespread and general sur
prise But had Macon been defeated
any time in his life after 1900 there
would have been universal Southern
regret and surprise. But for our
unique idea about representatives liv-
ing in their district he could have
been elected to the Senate from almost
any other Southern State.
Does any one for a moment con-
tend that any other North Carollnlan
ever occupied such a conspicuous
place in the public mind? Even after
Macon's permanent retirement Presl-
dent of the United States-AndreW
Jackson-(Whom Macon opposed for
a long time be it remembered), Wrote
him siX-page explanation and apolo-
gy for a notable part of his policy
Did Andrew Jackson ever appear 70
another known opponent in this way
for his support? This episode was
brought to public view some time
since and Jackson's long letter IN his
own handwriting is in the possession
Of a well-known lady now living IN
the city of Richmond. Is there doubt
of Macon'S place as a representative
Southern man?
Suppose we apply the test to w a.
Graham Willie p. Mangun, or Hepu-
Ion e. Vance? What is the result!
Clearly they are found wanting Not
in statesman-like views, nor in cour-
age, nor in suave and popular man
ners but in the popular affectlon.
And say what we will, mar, place
in history depends on his place IN the
love of his fellows, and in the con-
stancy through the ages of that love.
For This reason I feel that the State
will prove untrue to herself and to
the South if she place any man aheilo
of Macon. On this point a great deal
lould be argued against any OF Md
ms so-called competitors CngS
are not truly typical, that they fail
in consistency, that they even at
mes repudiated the doctrines with

claim as any-none being good.
But | must desst and present one
other phase of the case as l see it.
Macon was in touch with the best
that North Carolinians have long stood
up for: l refer to clean, upright Nv
ing-Puritanism in a certain sense.
he was constantly in the forefront
of American political life during
period of 81 years which can not be
said of any other North Carolinlan,
and at a time when it was popular TO
be somewhat dissipated; yet he never
yielded to temptation; not even the
breath of scandal ever touched ms
garment. Not a prominent leader of
American public life during that time,
except Calhoun, was free from some
form of vice. 1t was joke about
Washington that Webster could GER
tainly never help Clay home at night
both being drunk 50 often, or said
10 haze been. No such rumor ever
attached to Macor's name, and Macon
had been reared to drink freely. Ger
tain popular North Carolinians were
always in trouble about their gambling
debts: Macon never was though he
had played cards from youth. He
simply abstained from all forms OF
excess throughout his life. And as to
the suspicion OF his ever yielding his
convictions to eXpediency or to cor
l.upt influences. not a man in Con-
.sress or out ever put such a notion
down in black or white-so far as the
present state of historical information
goes. For his integrity alone, his
soberness, mis- honesty, his simple,
well-rounded character he deserves
much from the present generation CT
Carolinians.
All these points being bone in
mind, and especially not forgetting
the perspective which his figure now
commands. his hundred years Of con-
1inuous supremacy in the affections of
our people, it does seem improper, un-
historical, unjust to place any other
North Cftrolinian past or present he
fore Nathaniel Macon. Our State has

Macon Leads Incm All.
TO the Editor: In an article in The
News and Observer (not an editoriaD
of Sunday, October 8, 1905, it was
stated that plan was on foot to have
a statue of Zebulon B.Vance placed in
the Capitol at Washington and that
Graham, Macon, Ransom and others
were being advocated for second place.
No one objects to the honors which
the people of North Carolina confer
red upon Senator Vance when he was
living; and every one delights since
his death to look upon the fine statue
of him which adorns the Capitol
Square in Raleigh. But to place him
first in Washington and Macon second
argues a failure on the part of North
Carolinians to appreciate the real sig
nificance of their history. In the first
place Vance has been dead but a lit
tie more than a single decade: Macon
thrce-q quarters of Il century. Does any
one conversant with the career of the
two men suppose that Vance's name
will be as we'll known a hundred years
hence as Macon's now is? Perspective
in history can not be overlooked.
AS TO the real meaning of the lives
of the two men it must be recognized
that Macon was more truly a North
than any other who ever
sprang from the loins of the people.
Ee was also moro southern. In proof
Of these contentious l would call to
mind The fact that Macon was the
unG;gputed leader Of the State from
