Value of the Wireless Telegraph
Charlotte Chronicle

Charlotte Chronicle.
The value of the wireless telegraph
service has just had IL practical
demonstration in the collision OF
the two big steamships. Off Nan-
tuckett, Saturday morning. The
ships in collision were the White Star
liner Republic and the Italian liner
Florida. The collision occurred at
early dawn in a dense fog The Re-
public later sunk to the bottom, but
not until its 400 passengers were
transferred to the crippled Florida,
from which, in turn, they were trans
ferred to the Baltic. AS soon as the
accident occurred wireless messages
were flashed over the sea, giving
news of the accident and the location
of the ships involved. In short time,
the big steamships Baltic, Furnessia,
New York, Lorraine and the Lucania
| were making their way to the scene.
Meanwhile, the officers on shore OF
the colliding ships were kept informed
of the situation and were enabled to
send orders of instruction and relief
The surviving vessel CT the collision,
| the Florida, was in a very perilous
condition by reason of injuries and
overcrowding when the Baltic came
to the rescue There is no doubt
that the appearance of the Baltic
averted a far greater disaster. One
can imagine what the probable con-
sequences of an accident of this sort
would have been in the davs before
the wireless.

Child Labor.
Charlotte Chronicle.


There is to be a sort of national
child labor conference at Chicago Oh
the 21st of this month and the two
following days, uuder the direction
of what is known as the National
Child Labor Committee, and it has
been requested that on the next day,
Sunday. January oath, the subject be
widely discussed in the pulpits OF the
country. Adverting to this fact, the
New York Journal of Commerce sen
sibly remarks that while this Is q
subject of much interest and great
Importance, sit needs to be coDsld-
cred with less sentiment and more
sense than has usually characterized
it's agitation" 1t is again true, as
the Journal remarks, that ''in the
consideration of the matter by sell
constituted committees and Jealous
social reformers the evils are apt to
be magnified and the exceptions mads
to appear to be the rule, and there is
tendency to Overdo restriction" "
The practical side of the matter is
generally lost sight OF in maudlln
sentiment. We are glad that in
North Carolina there is sentiment
against unnecessary agitation OF a
situation which is regarded as being
in satisfactory shape. Child labor
cannot be abolished, but it can be
safeguarded and properly restricted
and that is what has been done IN
North Carolina.

Gov. Glenn's Future.
Reidsville Weekly.

Reidsville Weekly.
Ex-Governor Glenn, without taking
a vacation, has entered actively
upon a lecture engagement which
will employ his time very largely for
the coming two years. He also has
an engagement to lecture in the in
terest of the layman's movement in
the Southern Presbyterian Church,
to which he will devote the coming
six months. His energy and en-
durance are simply marvellous. The
wonder is that he has not burned
himself out before this, taking into
account the vast amount of nervous
energy expended in his strenuous
campaigns.
Gov. Glenn's lectures will embrace
the following subjects:
l. "The South; It's Problems and
Progress.
2 "The Race Problem, Viewed
from a Southern Mans Standpoint"
3. Sowing and Reaping," show
ing q nations dangers and the
remedies for them.
His religious subjects are:
l. els the Young Man Safe?"
2. "The South's Need of Strong
Chrisrtian Young Men"
While Gov. Glenn announces that
he will never seek Office again, he will
find it hard to keep his resolution.

Much Ado About Nothing.
Raleigh Times.

Raleigh Times.
Adverse criticism of DIR. Alderman
and Prof. C. Alphonso Smith has
about ceased and we believe the ma
jority of those who stirred up such a
chatter over the affair are now heart
ily ashamed OF the part they took in
it. The essay speaks for Itself and
clears DR.. Alderman and Prof. Smit h
of any of the charge OF any lack OF
sympathy with Southern sentiment.
But we would like 20 add to what we
have already said on the matter what
Col. Walter T. Taylor, of Norfolk,
SAYS of the essay. Col. Taylor could
not be accused by any one OF being
unfair, or unfaithful to General Lee s
memory. He was on Lees personal
staff AMI was longer and more closely
associated with him than any other
member of his staff, having been his
adiutant general from the beginning
to the end of the war. He has recent
ly written life of General Lee which
has been highly endorsed by all. NO
one would be more quick than Col.
TAYLOR to resent any reflection what
ever on the memory of the great
Southern leader or the cause which
he espoused. yet henot only does not
condemn DR.. Alderman and Prof.
Smith, but fully endorses them in the
award that they made. In speaking
about the award of the prize to Miss
BoysOn Col. Taylor said:
eve of the South are especially
sensitive about the designation OF
traitor as applied to our leaders
and soldiers; much more so, forgood
reasons, than we are about the desiG-
nation of rebel.
"We read in the essay: He (Gen-
eral Lee) was a traitor in that he
sacrificed all to aid the enemies OF
his country, but so were George
Washington and John Hampden and
William of Orange.
"Whie / differ with the essayist as
to the charge that General Lee sac
rificed all to aid the enemies OF his
country. General Lee was not a
traitor in any sense; as appears in
another part of this essay the soil
of Virginia called him and to that
cali there could be but one answer,
it is very clear that the word traitor
in the sentence quoted above was
not used in II way intended to be
offensive, and the author evidently
presumed that she took the sting
from the shaft by placing General
Lee where Charles Francis Adams
places HMM II class with Wash
ington, Hampden and William of
Orange.
at is not fair to construe this as II
bad denunciation of General Lee as
a traitor"
