RALEIGH, \. G., October 15.-The larg-
est crowd ever seen at fair in this State
attended the State fair to-day. The chief
attraction to-day was the marriage of
W. NJ. Bateman to Miss Josephine Movies,
of Washington county. The ceremony
took took place at the grand stand at
the fair ground, at noon. The bride and
groom were both attired in costumes of
Southern cotton bagging, and were at

the same. The matrimonial ceremony
was performed by Chaplain !. J., Scott.
Numerous presents were presented to the
newly married couple by the merchants
of the city.

CONCORD, Mass, October 14.-Yester-
day afternoon while attending a burial
at Sleepy Hollow cemetery, two gentle
men Of Concord discovered that the
grave of Ralph Waldo Emerson had been
disturbed. The authorities were notified
and found that the grave had been
opened during Saturday night exposing
the casket. Whether the remains have
been taken or not is not known at
present, as the authorities are waiting
the return Of DR.. Edward Emerson, the
philosophers son, who has been tele-
graphed for A watch was at once
placed at the grave, but the general
opinion here is that the miscreants
accomplished their object and secured at
least the skull, which was probably
what they were after. There is great in
dignation here.
Willard Furrar, an undertaken here, is
authority for the statement that,
although the Emerson casket was un-
covered, it was not opened by the van
dals, who were apparently frightened
away before they could accomplish their
purposes.

as to License Tax.
BosToN, October 15.-A special from
Atlanta to-day, says: The Alliance men
have taken possession of the town of
Dothen, Alabama, to resist the license
tax, A riot, in which two leading men
have been killed, is in progress. Two
town officers were mortaly wounded
and dozen seriously hurt.
Last night the Constitution started out
special engine from Bambadge in charge
of Col B. F. Russell to investigate the
rumored riot at Dothen, Ala. The en-
gine reached that place at 1 o'clock this
morning. The facts were found to be as
follows: The Farmers Alliance of Henry
county had established a warehouse at
Dothen. The town authorities sought
to collect a license from drays, which
they employed as from draws employed
by other business houses. Geo. H. Strin-
ger, manager of the Farmers warehouse.
undertook to drive one of the drays him
self, when he was arrested and his trial
set for yesterday. The Alliance men at
tended the trial in force, and b. Strn-

deputy marshal Polk Powell and towns
man W. b. Craddock were mortally
wounded. The terror which reigncd the
rest of the day was indcscribable. The
people were in fear all night of an at
tack. The farmers claim that the town
people treated them wronglully, and
claim that the riot was inevitable under
provocation given.
MONTGOMERY, Ala, October ia
special to the Advertiser SAYS: In
difficulty at Dothen yesterday seven men
were shot two are dead, and another is
dying. The trouble arose between the
loan council and a drayman of the Farm
ers' warehouse, the latter refusing to
pay license required by the town au-
thorities. They were several times arreS-
ted for violating the ordinance and fined,
and this caused trouble between the
farmers and the town. Both marShals
were shot and one will die. The two
draymen detying the law were killed.
Trouble was expected last night and the
town was well guarded. Many enraged
farmers are in town to-day but all is
quiet,

ROBERT BERRIER LYNCHED.
The Murderer of HIS MOtheT-ln-
Law Hanged by a Mob.

LEXINGTON, n. C., October 14.-Robert
Berrier the slayer Of Mrs. Herbert Wal
ser, was taken out of Jail tonight at
seven thirty O'Clock by crowd of white
men, numbering one hundred or more
and hanged to a tree on the outskirts of
the town.
The lynching was done i'll a quiet and
orderly manner. The sheriff and officials
of the law did their duty as Tar as
know, but the crowd was so great that
they could not protect the prisoners life
THE PRELIMINARY HEARING.
Robert Berrier who killed his mother
in-law, Mrs. H. Walser, was brought
back from Greensboro on the noon train
to-day, and was arraigned before Esquire
Mover. His counsel, Nj. H. PinniX and
W. B. Glenn, waived an examination, and
the prisoner Robert Berrie was commit
ted to the county jail to await the action
OF the grand jury.
The excitement is still great, and the
town is full of country people, and
threats of lynching are heard on every
side
If tonight passes without his being
lynched, | think his life will be spared
and the law allowed to take its course.
Berrier was arrested near here Sunday
and brought into town in the afternoon
A great crowd OF people from the country
swarmed into town and it looked as il
Berrier would be lynched then.
Berrier was promptly carried before
Esquire Moyer and committed to Jail foI
a hearing at Two o'clock to-day.
The crowd became so threatening that
it WAS deemed best to get Berricr away;
and he was taken to Greensboro on the
7:45 train last night, with the under
standing that he should be brought here
to-day on the L o'clock train for
hearing.
Public opinion was divided as to
lynching Berrier, and | thought the
sober, second thought would prevail,
and that the law would be allowed to
take its course. The people i'll town as a
amt, opposed his being lynchcd, and
thought "if is done at all, it will be done
by the people in the neighborhood where
the cowardly crime was committed"
The four months old child that he
carried away, when he committed the
terrible murder has been recovered. II
was found in hollow tree, all sound
and well, and has been restored to its
another.
The crime for which Berrier was
hanged was given in The Chronicle at
the time of the deed Bcrrier married
granddaughter Of Henry Walser He
and his wife lived unhappiy and finally
separated, their only child, a young
baby, being taken by its mother to her
mothers home. One day last week,
while Berrier's father-in-law was at
Morganton, where he had left his
daughter in the asylum, Berrier went to
his mothcr-l-law house near Lcxing-
ton to secure the child. He finally

DistiIIery Seized.

CINCINNATI, October 15.-United States
government officers have seized the dis
tillery of Frieburg & Warkum, of Lynch
burg, Ohio, upon charge Of derauding
the United States by equalizing shortages
from spirits in packages before the
gauger measured its contents. This, it
is claimed, saved to them the payment of
much government tax, and being a vio-
latiOn of the revenue law, subjects the
entire property to seizure. The whiskey
seized amounts to more than a million
gallons.

Philadelphia Record; Ex-PoStmaster
General James contributes an article to
The Forum on needed postal reforms,
the most important of which he consd-
ers to be the consolidation of small rural
offices, cheaper ocean postage, a COM
pIete elimination Of partisan consdera-
tions as affecting appointments and re-
movals i'll the railway mail service and
no limit as to the amount for which a
domestic money order may be issued.
He insists, however that no great or last
ing reform is to be expected until the pos
tai service shall have been absolutely di-
vorced from politics, and the work Of
the office be run on business principles.
He draws a picture of the highest post
office officials in the United States, spend
ing the greater part of their working
days in passing upon the petitions Of
congressman, local Statesmen" ard DO
litical "heelcrs," and contrasts this eX-
perience with the freedom which mana
gers of private corporations enjoy from
any such ordeal. But the officials in
question seem to like it; and the public
well, their interests must give way to
the inclinations and resentmcnts of
cliques and factions.

years ago he contrived machine for
separating the hull from the kernel of the
cotton seed. As a result of his invention
a waste substance has been converted
into source of profitable use known all
over the world, and millions of dollars
are annually added to the value of the
cotton crop in the United States. Mr..
Klapp has a monument erected to his
memory wherever a cotton seed mill has
been built in the South.

sun Cotton Review.

NEW YORK, October 14.-The Suns
cotton review says: Futures opened
depressed by weak foreign advices and
some indications that the corner on
October contracts had collapsed. Then
came the daily report from the signal
service bureau predicting frost in
Louisiana, and the bears fairly tumbled
over each other on their demand to
cover contracts, carrying january op-
tions from 1901 to 1910. The
scare subsidized, and under sales to
realize part of the advance, was last.

4 special to the st. Louis Republic from

they have received substantial encourage
ment from the Mexican Government.
They have received a concession of So
900, 900 in money and 100000 acres OF
land in the very fertile State of Vera
Cruz. The concession will have to be
confirmed by the Mexican congress, and
that is all that is lacking in the compile
ton of the arrangement. II now remains
to be seen how President Diaz and the
Mexican congress will view this move
ment. 1t is voluntary one on the part
of the negroes and engineered by men OF

cigar store at Chicago has become
The poSseSsor OF quite curiosity i'll the
way of a cigar-lighter. 1t is contrivance
invented by an old German professor
named Docberein, at Jena u small German
town, i'll 1910. 1t is hardly possible the
professor intended his invention for
cigar-lighter, but it seems to be better
adapted for that purpose than for any
thing else. In appearance this machine
is two-quart glass jar having a top
cap OF brass, in the centre of which is a
valve opened by pressing down on a
lever, and opposite and about an inch
from the opening is small tube con-
tanning platinum plate about the size
of nickel. In the jar is mixture of
vitriol and water, and pendant from the
top by brass wire is small piece of
zinc. This zinc is so acted on by the
vitriol that it extracts the hydrogen from
the water and forms a gas. Pressing the
lever permits this gas to escape, and it's
force carries it to the platinum plate, ex-
citing it at once to intense heat, and the
heat thus generated ignites the gas, and
thus a fame, veritable gas jet, is
created.
Nashville American: 1t is not often
that Senator Wade Hampton ventures to
discuss questions of political economy,
but when he does he goes right to the
marrow. In recent interview he said :
THE South is destined to become great
as manufacturing section, but it does
not need protection for its infant indus
tries. In coarse fabrics South Carolina
is already undcrselling the cotton mills of
Lowell, The reason why the South must
become the great manufacturing section
of the United States is quite evident. Its
climate enables us to work twelve
months in the year. Labor is cheaper
and the cotton is grown right on the
ground. These inducements are bound
to bring capital tous. Then, in regard to
iron il we can produce that at $11 per
ton, as is done, we have no need tor pro-
lection. The South has superior natural
advantages, and whatever protection
the government levies simply helps to
keep up the competition Of the North"

Her Own Artist.

Artists sometimes have amusing ex-
periences with some of their patrons
who have no knowledge of art and no
love for it, and who buy pictures simply
because other people have them.
One of the best-known of Eastern ar
fists says that he was once visited in
his studio by showily dressed and
loud-voiced woman, who said, @You give
lessons in painting, don't you?"
The artist said that he did, when his
visitor, seating herself for further con-
ference, explained herself thus:
well, I'll tell you what I want: My
husband is building big, new house,
and we haven't half enough pictures
for it, and you artists ask such outland-
ish prices for your paintings that l
thought, as I've got plenty OF time and
nothing else to do, that I'd learn how
and paint my own pictures. 1 used to
draw we'll when I was girl.
Another artist says that while In Vi
emma he was once waited upon by q
woman who said she wanted three
paintings for her parlor.
I'm not particular about the sub
jects, but want them to be about 2 by
8 feet in size, and they'd better have q
good deal of red in them, because, you
see, that's going to be the leading color
in the carpet and furniture, and the
picture ought to match the rest OF the
furniture.

We have watched with sympathetic
interest the progress made in the es-
Enlistment of the manufacture of
sugar from sorghum cane in Kansas.
Nothing could be more important to
the interests of our Western farmers
than the establishment of an industry
which would give them another and
profitable crop. Kansas sees this, and
has been paying a premium Of two
cents a pound for sugar made from
sorghum by the new methods. Last
year IL, 1886 pounds of sugar were thus
made, and 354, 900 gallons of molasses,
and the State paid 81, 34S. ~ in boun-
ties. Two dollars ton was paid for
cane, and thirty-three cents ton was
realized in profits-results which did
not come up to expectations and do not
show that the industry yet has been
established on really profitable basis.
But it is believed that by the reduc-
ton of expenses incidental to begin
ming and by the improvement of ma
chinery and of methods, the business
may be made highly profitable to both
farmers and sugar-makers.
