Engfishmen are very proud Of their
country and its history. and they are
right, says GOodwin's Weekly, for
never before was so fierce and strong
people able To cali up the necessary
forbearance and strength TO subdue
themselves: TO advance up into en-
lightenment and to create literature
and code of laws so strong and
grand. and all the time TO meet and
turn back every enemy.
II had been struggling for a thou
sand years up into the light; il had
emancipated its people and placed it's
king under constitutional restraints
but still It's court was fearful scan
dal: as debased in moral sense as
that OF France under Louis ". To
realize this one has but TO read the
brief sketch OF Macaulay of the life
and the closing hours OF King Charles
ii. That was only little more than
two hundred years ago, but as one
reads and then thinks of the change
since he is filed with admiration for
a people that even in two hundred
years could bring around such
change as the English court presents
today. The final change must have
been wrought by Vic toria, and we
rather suspect that she will finally
assume her place as the foremost of
all England's queens. She would per-
NIT no scandals. she would not rec
ognize men and women on whose
names there was a faint and it was
no prudery nher part but an abid-
ing principle Then when il came To
affairs of state she was so clear
Drained and level-headed that Bis
when once asked whom he
held to be the foremost statesman of
Europe, replied: 1.-THE little woman
who is England's queen" England is
n great country, but she has wrought |
her own greatness out Of her own |
most stubborn and originally savage
people.

FIGHT ON MEAT QUESTION
ATTORNEY CARTER MAKES SEN
SA11ONAI. STATEMENT AND
RETTRES FROM IN
VESTTGATTON.

Asheville, Feb. 1a.-The fight Of
the Central Labor union TO repeal
the three-quarter-m limit against
the sale Of meats, claimed 20 be
a discrimination in favor of dealers
in city market, has reached a most
critical point.
Declaring that he could obtain jus
tice in courts sooner than from the
a1dermanic investigation committee,
looking into the market house situ-
alton. Frank Carter, Thursday night
declined to cross-examine certain
market men witnesses before the COM
mittee and withdrew from the meet
ing with a large following of labor
men.
Today test case was begun. S.
X. Carter, a dealer outside the three
quarter-l limit delivering meat inside
and was arrested. The case will be
pushed rapidly through the courts to
test the validity of the law which
has for more than ten years been
jr the city code.
The aldermanic committee cOntin-
ued the investigation and will make
a report later. They declare they
will not be influenced by sensational
steps taken by labor men with view
of "browbeating' them into favorable

able than any one Of his brothers
who stayed at home. In his chosen
work he found great obstacles in the
South where fate had placed him, and
instead of taking arms against the
"sea of troubles as his brothers did,
he decided that tis nobler in the
mind" to turn his back on them, go
to a land of FREEDOM andopportu-
nifty" ard there theorize and advise
with the ones who were at home
bearing the burdens in re-creating a
commonwealth from the ruins of the
broadminded robbers Of reconstruc-
ton. This. as I see it. is the whole
story Of the Southerner, though this
is merely the opinion Of a South
erner unashamed Of one who is
ashamed From the authors per
spective,' Of which he is SO proud,
everything in the South is logically
wrong. A monument to Grant is
righteousness, while one to Lee is
narrowminded sectionalism. The
Grand Army, which protests against
Lees statue at Washington is broad,
and the Daughters Of the Confeder-
acy from whom have never come one
word OF hatred are objects of con-
tempt.
Please excuse me if I go no fur
Their Every page in the book. as I
see it, is an adroit expression of con-
tempt Tor the South and Tor the
men and women who have made it
what it is. and of glorification Of the
one who failed her in the hour OF
need and went forth to pastures more
pleasant. The brothers Of the au-
thor stayed at home. They are men
who agree with him largely in his
political views, but they stayed, they
built railroads, they developed a great
section of the State, they today oc-
cupy high places at home no less
honorable than that Of the South
erner abroad who looks upon them
with contempt.
In conclusion permit me to say
that the Southerner, in my honorable
opinion, IS the worst book that has
been published in all the TRADE
against the South, ard that the real
autobiography Of the real Southerner
is yet to be written and can be writ
ten only beneath Southern skies.

customs Of long ago have been molli-

customs Of long ago have been n10lli-
fed
The South has not yet progressed
as far industrialIy and commercially
as the north and has not drifted so
far from the original theories. The
Old tone is more apparent. Cities
have not arisen yet on a scale large
enough to bury the individual SO in
church on Sunday and make it their
business to know a little of every
mans business, and to see that he
walks c1rcumspectly, and that the
children are taught the catechism and
to Venerate the Sabbath day.
Yet there is q. perceptible change
IN the South in this respect, and 1
can see that it is where the rural
North was thirty or forty years ago,
and with probably the same future
ahead. for the same influences are
working here now that led to a freer
atmosphere up that way
AS towns grow into cities men al
low each other more latitude, and in
the big city yhO knows what his next
door neighbor's religious and moral
code is? In the city every man is a
law unto himself except when he gets
SO liberal as to encounter police
man.
So that brings us to the real facts
of the case. It is not the South where
men toy with human life or drink
WnlSkey Or 90 things that should not
be done. It is in the cities. In the
rural region human morals are meas
ured by a higher standard. Where
every man is the arbiter Of every
mans case all are held in line by a
common public sentiment. In the
city, where nobody is amenable to
any one until he bumps against the
police or the criminal courts, it is
different. The people Of the city are
not bad. But in the city the bad
can hide. So vice centers in the cities
and hides itself there. Don't be
afraid of the man with gun in the
South. The place to fear that sort
Of an individual is New York Chica-
go or some other center of vast popu-
lation and there is the place to fear
vice in every form.

INTERNATIONAL RADIATORS.
New Heating System is Given Salts
factory Demonstration.

International warm air radiators
we're demonstrated TO large number
of people, who visited the new house
of Charles Forwood. No. 2105 van
Buren street, yesterday between 10
a. m. and p. m.
The sytem is simple when compared
with other plans of house radiation.
An ordinary hot air furnace is used.
One set of air pipes carries the heated
air TO the rooms. II enters at the
bottom Of the radiator and is forced
through, by the hot air always rising,
into another set of pipes at the top,
which conveys the cooled air to the
furnace again. Here It enters at the
bottom, is reheated, and rises once
to the radiators. IL is said that il is
40 per cent. cheaper than any other
system Of heating.
From o'clock in the morning until
5 in the evening an unvarying tenn
perature of rs degrees was maintained
with the fire drafts turned off. The
doors of the house were thrown wide
open and the thermometer showed
one part to be heated exactly to the
same temperature as others. Even
when held In the places usually chilled
TO some exent, the thermometer fail
ed to show any change.
The new system is manufactured by
the International Radiator Company
Of this city and their product is being
received enthusiastically throughout
the country. Already several contracts
Of considerable size are being filed
and private residence-owners to a
goodly number are having the now

HAS NEW VEHICLE
STORAGE BATTERY

At the first convention Of the Elec-
trio Vehicle Association of America
held in Madison Square Garden, New
York, on October 1Sth. The Electric
Storage Battery Company, of Phila-
delQhia, pioneers in the storage bat
terry industry in this country and
manufacturers of the "Exide" battery.
announced that they had perfected a
new vehicle battery, which, with great
ly increased capacity, would have two
to three times the life Of the present
type.
For many years. experiments have
been carried on in this country and
abroad to determine what could be
done toward preventing the disin-
tegration and washing away of the
lead active material in batteries for
Electric Vehicle service. To a
Frenchman belongs the credit OF hav-
ing invented the only practical method
80 far found to actually accomplish
this result.
The mechanical details of construc-
ton employed for this purpose were
complicated and expensive, and this
battery up to the present time has
never been exploited to any consider
able commercial extent Recognizing,
however. the value of the principle in
volved, The Electric, Storage Battery
Company, makers of the "Exide" bat
terry, several years ago secured the
American patent rights to this type Of
cell, and since then have been car
rying on course of experiments with
most encouraging results, so that
when they put this battery on the
market, which will be within a very
short time, it will be with every con-
fidence in it's future.
