Successful Motor Train.

The advent Of the Rerard road train
opens up vast possibilities in various
directions. 1t will add a new terror
to country roads, and by way of com.
pensation it may enormously promote
the agricultural we'll being of the
country. The Renarl train is dis.
tinguished by the following charac.
teristics: Each coach or wagon fol.
lows absolutely in the track Of the pre-.
ceding motor or coach, so that the
whole train can thread its way safely
among traffic and can turn sharp
corners in either direction. The load
is so evenly distributed over the
wheels that undue weight which has
to be guarded against on some of our
country bridges, and the destruction
of roads are avoided. The motive
power is not confined to the motor it.

thus giving powerful controlling force

Coaches and cars OF great variety

"Chaos" eff GAS"

In connection with the terrible pro-
phecies Of disaster made when gas
came in for street lighting a hundred
years ago, it is curious to recall that
the word gas" itself stands for
"chaos." 1t was invented by the Bel
gian chemist Van Helmont (1577-
164D, Gas" sounding a good deal
more like chaos" it seems in Dutch
and Flemish than it does in English.
1t was not the gas of modern commerce
than Van Helmoat was thinking of. IL
need scarcely be said. By gas" he
meant a rarefled spirit of water. which
he believed to be a constituent of all
bodies. But the word found favor. and
the great history it has achieved in
science and practical life makes il
quite the most triumphant invented
word on record.-London Chronicle.

THOSE RAILWAY BOOKS

Those lawyers representing the
state in the railroad rate case against
the Southern have surely got their
hands full in the examination of the
books of that company. We wonder
how long it would take Messrs. JUS
tice and Woodland to go through the
books that were laid before them at
the railroad headquarters on the 18th?
After they had gone through them what
information would they have gain
ed? The truth is the lawyers for the
state had nc idea that they were go
ing to be granted the privilege of
examining those books. They played
a bluff game and were called. to their
great surprise n discontinue. Now
that they have got what they asked
for they do not know what to do
with it. The truth is they have made
themselves the laughing stock Of the
whole country. They ought to have
had sense enough to see what a trap
they were stepping into. The South
ern cannot be blamed. 1t has done
what it was ordered to do on the re-
quest Of the attorneys for the state.
The latter wanted the books and rec

they could examine them in a day Or

JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS

The indications are that Hon. John
Sharp Williams will be the leader OF
the house in the present congress.
There will be much opposition 10 him,
however. Mr.. DeArmond of Missouri,
will be his chief opponent for
the place and that gentleman is al
ready marshaling his supporters. Mr..
Lloyd, the democratic whip of the
house, says the Missourian will de-
velop a good deal of strength; but we
are glad to know that there is not
much prospect for his success.
The house leadership Will have 10
change after. this congress if Mr.. Viii
liams is chosen as leader next Deem
Der, for with the beginning of the
sixty-frst congress that gentleman will
become a member of the senate. For
that reason-among many others-we
do not see any reason for making q
change at this time.
The complaint Mr.. Diamonds
friends are making against Mr.. Will
liams is that he is too lenient; that he
is not aggressive enough. This, Of
course, is just an excuse to get rid OF
Mr.. Williams for the advancement of
Mr.. DeArmond.
We are glad to know that eight out
of the ten members from this state
will support the brilliant Mississip-
plan for the position. The Messrs.
Kitchin form the exceptions. For
reason, we know not what. thew,
it is said, are opposed to him. 1t may
be because Mr.. Williams has not ex.
pressed sufficient enthusiasm over the
candidacy Of the elder of the brothers
for the nomination for governor of
this state. How hat may be we do
not know. We cannot say positively
hat is the reason of their opposition.
such would be in keeping with
w. w. kitchin's attitude toward
all persons in this state who do not
give him the support he thinks him
self entitled to because he has been

but that cannot be done for over a

an expression of belief as to What is

opinion that the Raleigh editor is cor

THE RALEIGH NEWSPAPER ROW.

Things are getting sorter lively ir
Raleigh in newspaper circles. The
business manager of The Times de.
nounces as false a statement Of The
News and Observer, declaring that he
made certain admissions in reference
to the six thousand dollars the South
ern railway books show were paid to
Mr.. Drewry, president of The Times
Company, and The News and Observer
of the city stating that The Times
man did make such statement in their
hearing. The Times on Wednesday
published a most violent attack on the
editor of The News and Observer, de-
%nouncing him in most scathing terms.
So far as we have learned no challenge
to mortal combat has been sent by
either party, nor do we suppose there
will be. We do not see, though, how
men who have any self-respect can let
newspaper dIlICISS, 81 u<bIldS1IS "
their character, pass without ~resentlng
them in some way. 1t is none of our
to do with it, further than to say that
it is very unfortunate that such a con-
test should have arisen. Some explain
ing, il any can be done, is due the
public. The people should be given
the truth in the matter, for it is one
that concerns them. AS matters now
stand, there are grave charges against
a member of the state senate. If he
can make a satisfactory explanation
of his connection with the Southern
railroad as regards the three vouchers
he should do so. Mr.. Crater also
should explain the Inconsistencies be-
tween his statements in his signed
card in Wednesdays Times and the
ALLEGATIONS of Messrs. johnson n
Briggs, made in yesterdays News and
Observer. The latter fatty contradict
the statement Of Mr.. Crater. we
hone the latter can make satisfactory
explanation. His position at present
is unfortunate. The public, however,
should not judge him until 1t mas
given him q full hearing. He may be
able to vindicate himself. We hope
he can do so. The public should walt
further developments before condemn
ing either editor. Let's hear both
sides of the case before passing hnal
judgment.

SCHOOL VERSUS FACTORY

Overlooking schools, reported from
all sections show that the principle
against child labor is fOstered by the
manufacturers and believed in by the
parents. A census of children who
work in the summer and go to school
IN the fall and winter would show a
surprisingly large per cent. of the en-
tire Juvenile population.
we have had occasion recently to
see the inside of several factories and
Talk with several more manufacturers
and the fact stated seems to be not
only significant but industria1ly Uni
versal. The day when any factory that
wanted them could OBTAIN a plentiful
supply OF children for the years work
is passed. And, by children in this
connection We mean those who can
legitimately BIZ employed. When the
school bell rings, all the children ring
school makes men as the unbroken
toll of children in the factory makes
for perpetual childhood.
OF course. it is more pleasant to
contemplate q child's summer Of play
and fun but the fall and winter
schooling in many instances at
the price of a sacrifice that would be
rendered harder without the work
during vacation. Then. too, a chill
dren are kept away from the hurtful
forms G. iGleness and are led to ap-
preciate school for it's relaxation and
advantages as opposed to a place of
confinement and labor.
The above is from an editorial in
yesterdays News and Observer. 1t
brings grateful news to us, as we
know it does to the readers of this
and Of The News and Observer.
The editor of that paper is in a posi-
ton to know whereof he speaks, and
when he says he has had occasion
recently to see the inside Of several
factories and talk with several more
manufacturers he qualities himself to
speak i~ntelligently on the subject of
child labor in our mills. We are glad
to know that his personal observation !
on this subject leads him to such op-
timistic views on the subject. No one |
can but believe from what he says
that child labor conditions in facto-
ries has greatly improved in this state
also that the mill men are oppos-
I'd to child labor.
Some persons would have US believe
hat conditions in all mill towns are
,errible; that the mill owners, through
creed, are stif1ing the life out of the |
Using generation; that they prefer
:hild labor to that of grown people.
it is cheaper; that they are
opposed to giving the child any chance
Of education or natural recreation.
The News and Observers editorial
atty contradicts that and shows what
re the true conditions in the mill dis
riots of u state. We wish that ed
1orial could be published in every
ewspaper in the New England man
featuring towns. n
