Hodges waa principal of Mounie
High School. I sometime recall
pleasant reminiscences of that de
lightful time. For one thing, I re
menilier that the students of the
school once held a sort of mock
debate npou the much mooted sub
ject of "Woman's SuH'rage," the
girls contending for it and the boys
ridiculing their contention. There
were mauy sharp retorts, hard
thrusts and sarcastic replies that
were intended to provoke mirth.
Alter the discussiou had proceeded

perior children and the common
herd of humanity and their low

To my niiud at one time iu life
we were all on the same footing as
to morals. Where we stand uow
depeuds npou the nature and force
of the influences that have home
on us and have swerved us. Aud
if a mau escapes the great evils of
life it furnishes no just ground for
boasting,
tine of the grandest characters
in this whole western country is

a
county, of whom fquire Mcll
wai lie tells us, who sentenced to
the roads two boys for breaking
into the dinner buckets of some
road bauds, for he kUmmI for the
hoys' good conduct him-elf. And
he coiitinually stands sensor for
! the boys aud girls brought before
him, becoming resHnsible to so
ciety for their good conduct iu the
! future, lint you ask how can he
'guarantee that tley will behave.
! .o one else could make such a
guarantee. This is where his great
ness comes in. He lielieves that
every Imy has a soft Smt iu his
heatt and goes about (hiding that
spot iu his own unioue way. If
the boy's pareuts are living he se
cures their co-opcrat ion. Then he
euliststhe help and sympathy of
the I oy s teacher aud has the boy
to bring the teacher's rcort to
him at one of the sittings of his
court. If the teacher's rcMrt is
good the boy is kept on probation
and his conduct is approved, aud
thus Judge Liudsey's court has tie
come a court of commendation in
stead of a court of damnation. The
secret of it all is that he has a genj
uine iuterest and sympathy, horn
of his own bitter experience in
early life, for these friendless ones.
There is a wonderful restorative
principle in nature. It is found
everywhere; wounds heal, the
broken limb knits together again,
but we are not to discard helps,
the baudage, antiseptics, etc; so
the broken life will adjust itself
agaiu if the liest inlliiences and
supports ant brought to licar npou

In his commentaries on the Gallic
wars, Caesar tells us that all Gaul
was divided into three parts, one
of w hich the "Itelgae ' inhabited.
The territory occupied by that peo
ple nearly 2,000 years ago was ap
proximately the same aa modern
Itclgiuni. Since then the country
has been kicked mud cuffed about
a great deal and has had many mas
ters. At one time or another it
has lielonged to Burgundy, France,
Germany, Spain, Austria, and at
one time united with Holland un
der William of Orange.
If Julius Caesar could re-visit by
the light of the moon the Belgian
part of his proviuce he would not
recognize it at all. It is now full
of teeming millions of busy people
w hose victories of eace are no less
renowned than those of his wars.
Although one of the smallest coun
tries on the globe, it is one of the
most densely opuIated. It has an
average of over (UK) persons to
every sipiare mile. So crowded are
the people that the battle for bread
is a fierce one with many. The
strong push aside the weak and we
see the survival of the fittest.
The soil produces abundantly
everything that will grow in this
climate. A large portion of the
country on the north aud west is
perfectly level like Holland. Much
of it is rolling and hilly, but all ol
it is rich and productive. About
one half of it is iu cultivation and
something like a fourth is pasture
lauds, the other part timbered or
marshes. Twenty per cent, of the
people are eugaged in farming.
The government fosters and eucour
ages agriculture, and in every prov
ince there is au agricultural com
mission appoiuted by the King.
The farms are very small, about
what we would consider a good
garden, but they keep them rich
and a little soil produces a surpris
ingly large tiaiitity of truck.
Perhaps no one thing would sur
prise old man Caesar more than the
hihwsys and bridges hi the north
west portion of his province. No
other country has better or prettier
public roarfs, and it is a pleasure
to drive over them. Many of them
are puved with stone blocks and
have a row of pretty trees on each
side. The superior advantages of
good highways are especially ob
vious ut this time of year when
there is so much rain. The weath
er here is very variable. More
than once I have seen the sun shin
ing brightly and in less than fifteen
minutes it would lie snowing, raiu
ing or hailing.
Belgium is essentially a manu
facturing country, aud it makes a
little of everything from a steam
engine to the tine lace which the
ladies rave over so much. It is full
of factories and the smoke from
them ciiu lie seen iu every direc
tion. The whole country is a scene
of busy life and activity. It is no
place for a la.y mau.
Belgium is one of those countries
that have uo language of their own.
The language of the court is French
and Flemish, and every lawyer
must be able to plead iu both, but
the people geuerally speak every
thing. The kingdom is surrounded
by France, Germany, Holland, and
just across the channel is England.
A business man, to lie successful,
should be able to talk at least those
four languages. But whether he
can or not, he w ill try. The busi
ness men here have an eye to busi
ness aud they do business. They
are right up with the procession.
lhe w omen, too, are workers "from
away back." They enter the arena
with men and ask no quarters.
They peddle fruits, flowers and
vegetables, sell newspapers, black
shoes, keep shops, etc. They ask
neither the weather nor the men
any odds. I have never More seen
women make such a brave fight for
an honest living. They deserve a
lietter lot
The country is thoroughly Ilo-
man Catholic. Out of over 7,000,-
000 people, less than 20,000 are
1'rotestauts. The public schools are
in the hands or tno clergy, ami
Catu ic the country will remain.
To a -nan boru and reared in the
Unit.! States, w here there are so
many Methodists, Baptists, Presbv-
teriaus aud F.piscopaliaua, it issur
prising to hud virtually none of
them in these parts. What is still
more surprising, many of the ieo
pie seeiu never to have heard of
those denominations. Auy Auieri
can r ho belongs to either and who
has the "big head 'over hisehurch,
ought to visit this country, and it
will give his sectarian pride a jolt.
A large per ceut. of the jieople
never heard of Johu esley aud
Johu Kuox, and some evidently
never heard of John the Baptist.
I had a pleasant conversation with
a gentleman over in Rotterdam a
mau holding a good positiou aud
well posted in the allairs of his owu
country and I uever could make
niui uuuersiaim wnat i meant tv a

odists and he droptied his head,
studied for a moment, and repeated
to himself, "Messcugerst Messen

knew of none. I changed the sub
ject
It.
The Belgians do some things like
they do over in Holland, but not a
great many. They tax doors, win
dows and dogs, and also a special
tax for every servant you keep and
for every horse you keep. Not an
AD vai.iikkm tax on the horse, but
for having a horse; and likewise a
tax for having a servant. The dogs
also are put to work and are worked
hard.
The State owns aud operates its
railroads and the service is very
satisfactory and popular with the
eople, so I am informed. But
how it would work in our country
is another question. It might work
all right and it might uot I leave
that to the politicians.
While in Brussels I have looked
up some of the historical places
aud visited them. I was anxious
to see the house in which occurred
that fumnus hn'd given by Die
Dutchess of Richmond on the eve
of the battle of Waterloo, aud which
was immortalized by Byron in the
poem beginning,
"Tlierf wan s anund ut rHrjr by ulKht,"rtr.
Like the birth of Andrew Jacksou,
it happened at more than one place.
There is no trouble in finding the
place there are four of them. No
one really knows where it took
place, but these clever jieople are
always ready to gratify the travel
ler's love for the historical or the
heroic. One guide wits showing
some visitors the sights. He point
ed out a painting of a very noted
warrior aud said to the visitors
that the general he was telling
them about lost a leg in every bat
tle he fought A moment later one
of the party asked him how many
battles was that noted general in.
"Forty," was his prompt reply.
But there is no doubt where Wat
erloo is, and I seiit a day there.
The field of battle is three miles
from the village of Waterloo, but
Wellington had his headquarters
in that village and from there wrote
his dispatches. Ou the field is an
enormous earthen mound 200 feet
high and 1,700 feet iu circumfer
ence, it was limit entirely by
female labor. Several hundred wo
men were four years iu raising it.
They carried the dirt in baskets
aud received eight cents per day
for their work. At the top is a
latgc bronze lion. You ascend the
mound by 225 steps, and from the
top the positions of the armies can
easily be seen. An elderly English
man (whose grandfather was in the
tight ) was on hand to point out and
explain the whole thing. He ap
pears to take much pleasure in
doing so but takes more pleasure
in annexing your cash for his
speech.
Nearby is a museum full of dole
ful reminders of that fatal day
caps, coats, guns, pistols, sutlers,
bullets, cannon balls, hones, skulls,
etc., including Napoleon s silver
spurs and brass coffee kettle. And
what was it all for! V ictor Hugo,

to call it, it one of the most weakening

Our Consul General at Brussclls
is George Washington Roosevelt of
Pennsylvania, a til's! cousin of the
President, aud a splendid fellow he
is. He has all the dash, gallantry
and intelligence of "Teddy," and
even greater manaminity. He has
a lofty opinion ol the Southern eo
pie, aud his praise of them is gen
erous and unstinted. He is a vet
eran of the civil war, lost a leg at
Gettysburg and still curries iu his
IsKly eleven bullets from Southern
guns. He showed me a gold medal
given him by Congress for bravery
on the battlefield. His tribute to
Southern soldiers was outspoken
and undoubtedly sincere. After the
war he went South aud married a
Georgia lady. Speaking of his mar
riage he used these words, ''I de
cided that the incest women iu the
world lived south of Mason and
Dixon's line." He has no children
and the President will heir his
medal, sword, etc. Col. Roosevelt
has lieen iu the consular service
twenty-nine years continuously,
lie writes well in prose and verse,
and let me see a w itty poem on Mr.
Cleveland and the Miiirwumiis,
which so amused Mr. Cleveland
that he sent for Col. Roosevelt aud
told him that he could keep his
consular position.
Some ol his conversation tickled
my Slate pride. Said he, "I am
glad to meet a North Carolinian.
I have met them when it was uot a
pleasure to do so, lint happily those
days are gone. The North Caioliua
soldiers were the liest fighters in
the war, and the Northern army so
considered them. They always
staid longer." Col. Roosevelt fa
cetiously remarked that the North
Carolina soldiers looked taller to
the Northern soldiers than any
other people, and, said he, 4,at the
battle of illiamsburg the Tar
Heels looked like they were ten
feet high and our Isiys turned sml
ran." I u order to see whether or
not they were correct in their opin
ion, he said they measured the first
North Carolina prisoner that they
captured and he was seven feet aud
two inches tall. He said many
nice things about the Southern peo
ple and their hospitality which 1
will not take space to repeat.
A lawyer has a hard road to
travel in Belgium. He is required
to attend law schools for six vears
before he can get license to prac
tice. For three years after coming
to the bar he is assigned to appear
for poor jieople without a fee.
(After three years the court cannot
assign hint to do such work1). As
a rule it takes ten years lieforc he
can support himself by his prac
tice, making sixteen years Is-fore
he cau get a living out of his pro
fession. And yet, in this city there
are 821 lawyers and all of them
rich. But they were rich when
they took up the law. A poor man
can hardly become a lawyer here.
The Belgian lawyers have an un
usually high code of professional
ethics. They are not allowed to
advertise, not permitted to talk to
clients out of their otlices (except
at client's home when sick). No
one is allowed to bring a client to
a lawyer's office. Law partnerships
are not allowed and the S21 law
yers here are all alone in the prac
tice. They regard the relation of
attorney and client so strictly con
fidential that only one lawyer
should enjoy that relation towards
a client. There is no such thing
here as the "damage suit" lawyer
with his healers and drummers
working up cases on a commission.
For the least violation of the rules
a lawyer is promptly disbarred. I
was privileged to meet the counsel
for the English and American lega
tions in Belgium, Mr. (S. de Iievel
of Brussels. He is a Belgian but
speaks English well. List year he
visited America and lectured at
Yale, Cleveland aud other places
on international law. Next April
he will again visit our country aud
lecture before law schools in the
South, and said he would lie glad
to lecture in our State. He makes
no charge whatever. He is a law
yer of large means aud travels and
lectures for his own pleasure.

I paid a visit to the "Palace of
Justice" in this city, in which
twenty-seven different courts are
held. The building is a gigantic
structure which cost 112,000,000
and is made of marble of nearly
every country in the world. Many
of the doors are made of American
oak. Borne of the courts were in
session and I dropped in to witness
a Belgian trial. In one room the
divorce mill was running rapidly
and grinding out separations for
the unhappy. Each applicant sat
by his or her attorney, and when
the case was called the party wonld
move over near the judges: no jury
in such case. Some of the womea
judges tried the issue of her guilt
or lunoceuce. Her lawyer was
making a game fight for her, but
the Itelgiau lawyer has a small ring
in w hich to fight. The judges cau
consider auy kind of evidence they
wish to hear, or they can reject any
testimony they do not care to hear.
Ouly the judges can quest io:i the
witness, aud if they start a switt
and biased witness to talking the
lawyer has no way of stopping the
wituess. llieir lules of evidence
are not like ours, or rather the
judges are not hampered by any
rules of evidence. They have uo
such thing as cross examination of
witnesses. The uearest thing to it
is, a lawyer may ask the judge to
please ask the witness so and so,
but the lawyer cau't speak to the
witness. An attorney can address
the opposing counsel only through
the court. There is uo such thing
as side remarks or personal thrusts
at the opposing lawyer. Some of
our lawyers would get iu jail iu
five minutes if they were to try a
ease here. In the case referred to
above, the woman's lawyer would
speak to the court, the court would
make some remarks to the prose
cuting attorney, and then the latter
would address the court. Part of
the time Isith lawyers were ad
dressing the court at the same time,
and once the court and Isith law
yers were all talking at the same
time. For small ofl'euces one judge
tries the case.
The great writ of habeas corpus
has uo place in the Belgian law.
Their laws are taken from the Code
Napoleon, but modified to suit the
spirit of modem times and the cus
toms of the country. They have
no such institution as the grand
jury, but have a "public prosecu
tor. ' Mis functions correspond
mewhat to those of our grand
jury. He is a lawyer ( but does not
practice ) aud lays criminal charges
before a criminal judge and the lat
ter issues a warrant. Whenever a
jury is allowed, twenty-four men
are summoned aud each side cau
stand aside six. Trials are public.
lliey have no municipal courts.
There are justices of the peace who
may try ttetty offenders. The next
court tries any crime, and in civil
matters may try anything up to
f.ioo without the right of appeal.
hen the amount involved is over
!.VHi, the losing party may appeal.
The next iu order is the "Court of
Appeals" aud then the "Court of
Cassation," or Supreme Court.
They have separate courts for mer
chants and mercantile matters.
Their laws and the method of
their administration are very dif-
lerent troiu ours and possess not
the excellence of onr system. Their
trials are tame allairs. I wish they
could sec our lawyers try a case.
An old fashion "rough and tum
ble" American trial would shock
Belgian judges aud lawyers but
they would see a better method of
getting at the truth than they have.
