The Mountain People.
Charlotte Chronicle.


Ex-Governor Glenn is attracting
attention as a missionary speaker
and that is perhaps what he aimed to
do. He made two speeches in Balti-
more, Sunday, and the Sun says that
although his main theme at both
services was missions, he also treated
on other topics, which he said were
important, such as enjoying ones
self on Sunday, admitting ignorant
foreigners into this country to dis
poll our glorious civilization, the get
ting together of too much money in
the hands OF too few people, the lack
OF respect the people are now showing
for the various religious institutions
and the uplifting OF the negro. The
speaker incidentally paid his respects
to the liquor trade" What he comes
in for criticism for is bis deliverance
on conditions existing in the noun
tains of this State. He goes a bow
shot beyond the WaldorfAstoria
philanthropists in depicting the wild,
savage and heather life our mountain
people are living, "the majority Of
"uOHi, uc ucCidTcu, huOW uttic vi
nothing about God, thousands hay
ing never heard of the Saviour or the
Bible. They can neither read nor
write, and their domestic life is far
from ideal" Mr. Glenn's conscience
must have given him a twinge when
he said that "the few teachers and
preachers in the mountain section are
almost as ignorant as the children"
The Ex-Governor will at least admit
that these people he is holding up to
fashionable audiences as little better
than heather, were intelligent enough
to give him the nomination for Gov
ernor and to aid in electing him to
rule over them for q term of four
years. We cannot but feel that they
deserve a better consideration at his
hands. We are sorry to see this gifted
speaker adding to the humiliation OF
a people poor by force of circamstan-
ces: but OF sturdy character, of rug
ged honesty, and possessed OF sensi-
bilities like the rest of us.

One of the very best measures pro-
posed by the present General Assem-
bly,, and one which we hope will be
enacted into law, relates to the carry
ing OF pistols, the penalty for which
will be sixty days Imprisonment in
the county Jail and $4,000 fine. A
large per cent. OF the murder com
mitted in North Carolina can be
traced to the dangerous habit of car
rying concealed weapons. Ii the
"pistol toters" can be suppressed
crime will be greatly decreased.-Mt

"Now, if New Hanover has estab-
lished q record for anything it is that
she does not want local seif-govern-
ment' carried to it's logical conclu-
sion. She had more local self gov
eminent than she wanted in 1898
and the State was thrown into a fer
ment to help her out of it. "-Green-
vile Reflector.
These frequent illusions in some of
the papers of the State to the stir
ring events in Wilmington in 1893
in which it is made to appear that
our people were in such dire distress
and so absolutely unable to protect
themselves that they sent up q wall
for assistance whereupon the balance
OF the State rushed to the succor and
for their sake alone put the State
Government back into the hands of
Democrats, would be annoying if
they were not so utterly absurd and so
absolutely at variance with the truth.
All who know the facts-and are
willing to admit them-know that
the men of Wilmington took the
lead in 1898 in the desperate fight
waged in that campaign to throw
off the rule of the Fusionists and
negroes. They openly announced their
determination to rid themselves OF
degro domination, let it cost what it
might, took the lead and called on
the party in the State to follow them.
1t was the bold stand the Whining
ton men took that, more than any
thing else, redeemed the State. They
asked for no help to re-establish self
government, but took the initiative
and aroused the whole State to such
pitch OF indignation at heconduct
OF the party in power that herculean
efforts were made, and successfully
made, to cast off the yoke of misrule
and corruption which had beer
placed-not upon Wilmington alone
but upon the whole State.
| The Wilmington people began tn,
fight against desperate odds, know
ing that defeat meant their utter
ruin-death perhaps to some of them
And if they had not acted the heroi,
part they did North Carolina woult
have remained under Republican-ne

The record that Wilmington ha
established for maintaining self.goy

to assert their rights and to main

LIGHT BOOZE
Do You Drink It7

A minister's wife had quite tussle
with coffee and her experience is in
teresting. She says:
During the two years of my train
Ing as nurse, while on night duty,
became addicted to coffee drinking. Be-
tween midnight and four in the morn
ing, when the patients were asleep,
there was little to do except make the
rounds, and 1t was quite natural that
! should want good, hot cup Of cof-
fee about that time. It stimulated me
and could keep awake better.
After three or four years Of coffee
drinking I became nervous wreck
and thought that simply could not
live without my coffee. All this time
I was subject to frequent bilious at
tacks. sometimes so severe as to keep
me in bed for several days.
After being married, Husband
begged me to leave on coffee for he
feared that 1t had already hurt me
almost beyond repair. SO resolved to
make an effort to release myself from
the hurtful habit.
Il began taking Postum, and for q
few days felt the languid, tired feeling
from the lack Of the stimulant, but
liked the taste Of Postum and that
answered for the breakfast beverage
all right.
Finally began to feel clearer head

cal character of the terrane.
"The development of two types is
considered advisable. One compare
lively small, OF $4,000 or 100000 cubic
feet capacity, to be used principally
for scouting purposes, and to limited
extent for carrying explosives for
demolitions or for incendiary pur-
poses, such as the destruction of
bridges and supply depots close to the
mobile army or coast-defense fort
resses.
"The second type desired in the
dirigible is for burden-carrying pur-
poses. The larger the airship the
greater the speed attainable, and the
greater its radius Of action. There is
no reason to doubt that airships of
SOC. 900 to 100000 cubic feet capacity
may be developed ultimately to reach
speed of 80 or rs miles an hour"
In speaking of the aeroplane, Maj.
George o. Squire of the signal corps,
who has given great deal Of time to
scientific study Of aeronautics, said /:
"Tf the United States had possessed
In 1898 single dirigible balloon,
even of the size of the one now at
Fort Myer, which cost less than $10..

III, corps OF the army is
about to begin its summer campaign
for the study of aerial navigation. The
fact that $4,000, 900 or more are now
being expended annually by this gov
eminent for the construction Of bat
tleships may be making the United
States one of the foremost naval pow
ers of the world. but the further fact
that not single penny has been set
aside by congress for the building OF
airships or for their operation or de-
velopment Is causing this country to
be left far behind the nations Of Eu-
rope In the matter of military aero
nautics.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
signal corps, with the approval of the
secretary of war, has asked congress
for a modest allotment Of funds, with
which to equip itself with the means
OF studying and experimenting with
the subject, the lawmakers have al
Ways turned deaf ear to the appeals.
Now, at a time when Germany,
France, Great Britain, Russia and
even the weaker nations, such as
Italy and Spain and Belgium, are de-
voting large sums OF money and the
time and experience of experts to the
solution of the problem, the accom-
plishment of which has been mans
dream for ages, the United States
finds itself handicapped, and its prog.
ress estopped because 1t has been i'm
possible to obtain meager appropria
ton to carry on its work. The only
encouragement which the signal corps
has thus far found in its attempt to
keep pace with the development OF
aeronautics in other countries Is the
unofficial announcement of President
Taft that he will advocate suitable

Signal Corps At Work.
In spite of the encouragement oc-
casioned by the lack of money the
signal corps Is going ahead with the
means at hand, and expects to make
some substantial advancement In bal
looming during the coming summer.
Five officers, Lieuts. Lahm, Fulois,
Winters, Bamberger and Dickinson,
and IL men of the corps have been
assigned by Gen. Allen to the aero
nautical detail, and will conduct what
ever experimental work Is done None
Of the men has ever made an ascen-
sion, and the same Is true of two Of
the officers. Lieut.. Lahm is the only
recognized pilot, by which is meant
according to the rule of the various
aero clubs, one who has made not less
than ten ascensions. at least one Of
which must have been alone, and one
at night. Under this rule. Lieut.
Lahm, who recently made success
full ascension from Fort Myer, Va, in
the governments spherical balloon,

Aside from two spherical free bal
looms. one of $40 cubic meters and
the other of 1000 cubic meters ca
pacfty, the government possesses one
dirigible balloon. Just now the men
Of the squad are being trained at Fort
Myer in the work of handling the
spherical balloons, in learning how to
I'LL them, and fare for them. Within
q few days they will be advanced to
the work on the dirigible, known as
Dirigible No. 1. This balloon was
built for the department by Capt.
Thomas 8. Baldwin, under specifica-
lions, and delivered to the signal
corps last August.
The money with which 1t was paid
for came from the fund allotted in the
regular annual appropriation to the
board of ordnance and fortifcations.

The Parseval is owned and con-

of Motor Balloons. This organization,
composed of capitalists, was formed
practically at the command of EN-
peror William, who Is very much in
terested In aerial navigation. The so
ciety has a capital of 1000, 900 marks,
owns and controls the Parseval pat

type of balloons for the government
or for commercial purposes.

nounced it's intention of building so
garages for the housing Of airships.
France is not far behind Germany
in the matter of supplying her army
with dirigible balloons. There are
two French types, the Patrie and the
Republique. The Patrie, the third Of
its type, was first operated in 1906. 1t
was developed by an engineer named
Julliot, employed by Lebaudy Broth
ers at their sugar refinery in Paris.
The second French type is the Re-
publique, which is 200 feet long and
35h feet in diameter. 1t has lifting
capacity of 5000 pounds, of which
2,700 are available for passengers,
fuel and ballast. The best It has been
able to do was to cover 125 miles In
6h hours in an unfavorable wind.
The English budget this year car
ries an appropriation Of 100000 for
military aeronautics, and keen in
terest is being taken in the subject, SO
much so that there has been a vigor-
GUS protest made by those officers who
have the subject in hand against the
smallness of the allotment for the
work.
