their meter reading in saloons. de-

mark them down. So far we have
not heard of that here, but 1t is EVIL

at Charleston. If the meter readers
are blink-eyed, when they read the
meters. which are usually stationed

Saturday evening and night re-
minded one Of the holiday season 50
far as throngs Of people are con-
cerned. Every street car brought in
all the people 1t could carry. Every
one had money, too. Every one
came In to spend some of 1t. The
enterprlsing merchant who carries
an advertisement just as much up
to-date as during the holiday season
got most OF the trade. The lesson is
to advertise constantly and do bust
ness every week as well as during
the holiday weeks. The people are
here. the work is here, the money Is
here, and they are always buying.
Meet them half way by letting them
know you are still in business and
want their trade now just as much
as in the past.

Other slde or suIt.

The newspapers generally have
been giving the Independent coal
operators side of the story in refer
ence to the suit recently instituted
against the Baltimore 6 Ohio Rail-
road Company and a number Of coal
companies over the matter of alleg-
ed discrimination. Now. it is but
fair to state the other side of the
suit. since that side itself hassgiven
out information on the subject, ex-
planatory of its claims.
Here is what Mr.. John C. Will
son. assistant general attorney for
the railroad, says on the subject:
our records viii show that when
the Fairmont Coal Company. which,
it is alleged. is being favored. was
formed, IT bought up about 80 per
cent. of the mines in the West vir-
ginia field. Therefore 1t controlled
80 per cent. of the output of that
region. and was entitled to 80 per
cent. Of the ears. Now its output is
60 per cent. and it gets only. about
60 per cent. OF the cars"
On he private ear question ne
says the Baltimore & Ohio is under
an Injunction to handle private cars
OF the Fairmont company. During
the receiyershfp. when the road was
not in position to secure sufficient
equipment. the court decided that
the coal company could build Its own
cars. and that the railroad should
handle them. When the road tried
to do away with all private cars
about three years ago. the Fairmont
company brought suit in West vlr-
ginia to secure an injunction and
won the case. Two months ago, in
Columbus. o.. Mr.. Wilson points out,
Judge Thomson, of the United States
Circuit Court for that district, rem
dered a decision which also obliges
the road to handle private cars. Suit
was brought by the Riverdale Coal
Company to prevent the road from
handling the private cars OF the
Fairmont company. and 1t was de-
cided that 1t should continue to
handle them.

monster battleship, "Dreadnought,
the largest man-of-war in the world,
Great Britain's latest acquisition,
will participate in the grand naval
display n Hampton Roads, during
the period of the jamestown Ter
Centennial Exposition. The famous
sea-fighter is now on her way to the
West Indies. where she will be seen
by Admiral Evans feet, which is
carrying on winter manoeuvres in
those waters. 1t is the opinion of
the British Consul here that the
Dreadnought will remain in the
southern waters of the West Indies,
until the winter is over. arriving in
Hampton Roads in time for the open
ing of the exposition ON April 26th,
remaining there until the British
feet, detailed for participation at
the exposition, is READY to return
home.
The Dreadnought was only a short
time ago put into commission after
having been a remarkably short per-
Tod in building. She is of $4,000
tons displacement and has an arma-
ment of ten 12-inch guns, or nearly
three times the gun strength OF any
other battleship afoat. This vessel
has a speed of more than twenty
knots an hour and could therefore
oyertake any combination she can
fight, or run away from any she
cannot.
Besides this visit of the Dread
nought. England, through the Ad-
miralty's late decision, will send her
first cruiser division to Hampton
Roads for the opening Of the ceie-
bration of the jamestown exposition.
The vessels comprising this division
are the Good Hope. Antrim, Argyle,
Devonshire. Hampshire and Rox-
burgh. These ships win probably
give England stronger representa-
ton in the naval manoeuvres in
Hampton Roads, than any Of the
other foreign powers that are to par
ticipate.
