The Bristol Mob.

| a number of our exchanges are moral
izing upon the evils Of mobs, taking their
cue from the hanging of the negro wretch
who outraged the person of an honest wo-
man in Bristol. This woman was the wife
of railroad employee, whose duties re-
quircd his absence from his family during
the night and when his protection was
most needed. Taking advantage of this
absence the brute, drunk with whiskey,
whose blood vas poisoned by a loathsome
disease, entered q window Of the house,
invaded the room where the mother was
sleeping with her children, threatened
the victim with death, and cruelty out

a horrible outrage was committed ON
the person of Mrs. John Warren, res
pectable white lady, last Sunday morning
about three o'clock, in Bristol. Officers
and detectives worked diligently tryingto
apprehend the guilty wretch. Tuesday,
Bob Clark, colored boy twenty years old,
was arrested on suspicion. The. day
following his trial came off before Mayor
RAIDER, of Bristol, Va.
The evidence was very damaging. He
was bound over to court and sent back to
Jail The great crowd that attended the
trial had no idea of dispensing, and soon
the news spread all over the city that
Clark would be lynchcd before noon. In
an hour hundreds Of people of all ages
and races gathered around the jail.
Prominent men of the city made speeches
loud and long, begging the excited people
to dlsperse and let the law take its course
but they were Kissed down. AT last one
man obtained an Ak and told the crowd to
follow. The Jail door was broken down
and stream of angry men filled the jail
The negro was brought out amid shouts
and cheers. By this time over thous-
and men had assembled, and as soon as
the leaders started to the woods it seemed
as if the whole population of Bristol was
in pursuit The excited crowd carried
him to Lindsey's Grove, mile from town,
and swung him to a limb of the nearest
tree. His body fell once or twice, but
was finally secured. 1t hung for tour
hours, when it was cut down by the Corr
oner's jury. While the lypching was
going on a negro said if their color had
stuck together the man would not have
died. Immediately three or four pistols
were thrown il his face and it was with
difficulty the crowd was prevented from
lynching him. The negro Clark was

down to tie economic basis Of the Older
establishments. they are with few cxcep-
tions, The only industries of the kind in
the world that have run at profit for the
aast twelve months.
Here at Pulaski is ali illustration. Ac
cording to the recent annual rcportof the
Pulaski Iron Company the following facts
appear:
The company owns the Pulaski Furnace, ut
Pulaski, Va, the plant, with the real estate,
ore mines and machinery, houses, etc., being
valued at 75,064.Sl. During the fiscal year
the furnace was in actual opperation 262 days
and made 0,40I gross tons of pig iron, equiv
alent to 1904 tons per day, at an average cost
of $l2.0l. The total ore consumption OF the
furnace was II ,168 tons, the average yield OF
which was 42.7l per cent. During the first
six months of the fiscal year the average net
price received at the furnace for pig iron sold
| was l3.OS, while during the last six months
the net price was $l272, the average for the
entire year being $12.sS. There was paid a
! 10 per cent dividend on 100000 thousand cap
| itai on May Is, 1890, and in August and No
ycmber Of 1890, and February, 1891, divl-
dcnd Of ~ per cent for each quarter on $780,
00Q capital, the bonds Of the company
amounting to $4,000, having been Cancelled
and exchanged for stock at par.
Now this is good showing under the
circumstances; but some of the Alabama
furnaces surpass it. With such facts
demonstrated day after day can any one
question what is to be the final outcome
of all this sharp..rivalry in the iron indus
try between different countries and Dill
ferent sections of the same country! ~
not the laws of manufacture and .trad'
settle the matter in favor of the South
at present so far as the crude product o
pia iron is concerned, and ultimately 81
far as every form of the finished produc
is concerned?
We have cheap raw material and lyinl

elsewhere; we have ali the other adjunct
Of value TO such industries, such as tim
Der, water and climate. We have cheapc
railroad transportation; and in truth tier
is no natural difficulty to bar our supre
macy. And it is rapidly coming.

The American Manufacturer has this
to say about the Valley iron situation as
it stands:
"The Valley iron producers were generally
of the opinion that they would be given mater
lat concessions in the price of fuel. The coke
operators. however, claimed at the close OF Il
long strike they found themselves unable to
reduce rates, as the scale under which the men
resumed work was based on $l.9O per ton as
the selling price of coke. TheSrailroad COM
panies argued that reduction in freight on
coke and iron FOR the benefit of the Mahoning
and Sbenango Valleys would be followed by
reductions in freight rates over the entire
country. 1t is not surprising that the Valley
furnace owners should feel somewhat sore
over the refusal OF what they considered quite
reasonable requests. They made good fight
for what they believed to be justice, and their
shutdown was far from being total loss.
cat the beginning of the year there were
over 100000 tons of pig iron piled up in the
Mahoning and Shenango Valleys. During the
period in which the furnaces were cold at least
1866 Of the stocks was consumed, and it is now
stated that many Of the furnaces resume with
order books well filled. In consuming the
large stocks on hand al the first of the year,
the market has been kept about level. The
price of gray forge iron on January LIST was
$i4@I4.50; this week the same grade is quoted
at I3Nyi4sZo, Win ScaIteflCy SIlcS pciON pl7
reported. The Valley furnaces received
nothing like fancy prices for their iron, but
they again start in relieved of large stacks,
and with q fair prospect of a successful sea-
SOB"
The fact OF the whole matter is that
Northern furnaces can not compete with.
Southern furaaces; Northern coke can
not compete: with Southern coke, and
Northern railroads can not or will not re-
duce freight to anything like the figures
at which the Southern roads are getting
rich.
