Mrs. Anne.Black Passes. ^ '
Mrs. Anne Black, widow of
the late John Black, died Mon
^ day mominK at 9 o’clock, after
a lonK period of great suffering.
She had heart trouble, and was
. forced to occupy her chair for
the past many months instead of
her bed.
Truly, she was a great sufferer,
physicians, her devoted daugb
ter, Mrs. McLean Campbell, and
her daughters, gave her every*
attention, and did everything
possible for her relief, but the
dread monster’s only brought
relief. For the great change she
was doubtless prepared, for she
, professed faith in Christ as her
Savior many years ago, and
joinbd the Presbyterian church,
and remained in thatcommnnion
until the day of her death.
, The funeral was conducUd
from the residence Tuesday
liiorningat ll o’clock by her
pastor, Bev. W. M. Fairley. D
D., and interment was made in
Raeford cemetsry. Mrs. Black
was a go,od, kindly disposed
woman, who was held in the
highest respect by a large circle
of friends and relatives. She was
j!«34ra-of-age.

Fighting the Smoke View.
Great Britain aroused to the
evils of smoke-smothered cities,
is rapidly turning away from the
burning of raw coal in cook
stoves and grates.
Of 28,500 bouses built in Lou
don during the past five years,
years, practically ^11 areeqipped
with gas stoves. In Glasgow,
95 per cent of the new houses
,i«^are so equipped. Other cities
show similar figures.
It is estimated that smoke and
soot cost the city of London
95 million dollars annually in
damaging to property alone, not
counting its direct relation to
^ealth.
Engineers in the United States,
joining with public health au
thorities, are fighting the smoke
evil oh grounds of econmy. It
^ i^^timated that use of gas and
coke wQuld^save hundreds of
^millions of dollars a year in the
’ge cities.

leans in Europe, hut if you ask
them whether they themselves
did anything rude or offensive
while abroad they indignantly,
deny the insinuation. As so
many thousands of these supe
rior tourists who so freely criti
cise their fellow,.citizens testify
that their own conduct has been
irreproachable, one can only con
elude that much of the talk
about American bad manners
abroad is baseless.
Anyone who travels much in
Europe, and who. frequents the
hotels where Americans put up,
is impressed by the fact that our
tourists in general are well be
haved. and that class by class,
and in proportion to numbers,
they compare favorably with the
tourist nationals of other couu’
We must not forget that

press, while a thousand well-be

course. Probably there are no
more offensive travelers than the

certain class, and even the po-
ite French have their own mo
ments on the streets, on trains
and in hotels. And the foreigner
in Am3rica is not always a mod
el of good manners and 4'ood
taste.
Many of the most boorish and
braggart of. those who provoke
criticism are lower class
and peasant Europeans who
caine over sjieeragq and are fe-

sense of the word,
At that, the European probab
ly finds them less offensive than
those Americans who are con
tinually proclaiming that they
are ashamed of their country and
apologizing for the shortcomings
of their countrymen. English
men, Germans and Frenchmen
rarely apologize for or explain
their own countrymen. When
they are offensive and unman
nerly, they assume that they ex
plain themselves.
Many Americans have the
habit of comparing the best of
Europe with tbe worst, of Amer

on his first tour, with the Ux
