some two or three hundred yards apart,

A rope was now carried from the stern

THE CANNING INDUSTRY.
It Ought to be Developed Along
With Trucking and Fruit Cul-
ture-Of Interest to All,


1t has been obvious for years that
there is an opening in New Berne for
fruit and vegetable canning factory.
Mr.. S. NJ. Sindall, Of Baltimore, has
sent out valuable article on the can
ming industry, in which he shows that
there are now 200, 900 factories opera
ting in Al States and giving employ
ment to I,ooo,oo persons during the
canning season while those directly
and indirectly concerned number
about 100000. The concluding por
ton of Mr.. Sindall's paper will be read
with special interest in the South. He
says:
In no part of the country has this
industry brighter prospects than in the
South. OF all sections which l would
look to for great success, the South is
the one. The climate is altogether
suitable, your labor is cheap, and not
single case of canned goods should
be manufactured in the North and
brought to you for consumption. The
North has lived for years on the
business of the South in this particu-
lar. | want to see your product put in
Theoretically sealed packages by your
own people, and at your own can
neries. 1t is time that the business men
of the South are awakened to the i'm
portance of a broad spirit OF encour-
agement to all enterprises that look to
Southern advancement. AS great as
has been the work of the Southern
people; as whole in the marvellous
development that has been going on
for five or six years, too many have
stood idly by and waited, hoping that
others would come in and lead such
enterprises and let them grow rich out
of it.
Most Of the developments which
make the South prominent as an in
du;trial field have been the result OF
plucky Southern effort. Let them keep
up the motion. | am like others who
are at all conversant with Southern
affairs as a field for progress and
developement and matchmaking in
the near future.
Investments such as l speak of pay
handsome profits, besides being Of
much benefit to the city or country
where the factory is located. The
capital required for conducting this
business is small, the cost of the ma.
chinery being SO moderate that in our
own State many farmers operate their
own canning factories in connection
with their other duties.
The statements as to the percentage
of profit in some cases would be in.
credible if they were not authenti-
Gated by unquestionabe testimony and
amply substantiated by ascertained
facts. With sufficient capital and proper
management there is probably nc
other business known combining such
large profits and SO high a degree o1
safety.
The demand for consumption in.
creases disproportionately to the sup
ply. This country is large; facilities fol
distribution are increasing and the
trade for canned goods is growing. In
every household it is portion of the
daily rations 1t is cheap, ready for use
and in all respects is desirable. With
out it there are portions of our country
that would be forced to subsst on sail

THE WRONG MAN.
Atlanta Constitution.

Sometimes the wrong man is the
victim of justice, but such cases are
rare.
The story of Charles Giblin, of New
York, shows that it is possible for an
innocent man to be utterly ruined by
false testimony, and his escape from the
gallows under the circumstances is
little short of miraculous.
Giblin is a well-educated young
Irish-American, a bookkeeper by pro-
fession, but in 1888 he was out of work,
and had no employers to take an in
terest in his case. One night he went
to bakery, purchased 80 cents worth
OF bread and rendered his last S. bill
in payment. A stranger not connected
with the shop snatched it from his
hand, declared that it was a counter
felt, and refused to return it. Gibln
threatened to appeal to the police,
when the mans companions assaulted
him. The robber drew pistol and
tried to shoot him, but the bullet
mortallv wounded another person. The
police arrived and carried Giblin to
prison, the man who had assaulted him
charging him with murder.
Out OF a job, and out of money,
Giblin could do nothing. The attorney
appointed by the court to defend
him made a very weak effort, and
the gang of witnesses swore that he
fired the fatal shot without provoca-
ton.
The young man was convicted OF
murder, and was sentenced to be
hanged. His young wife, under great
difficulties investigated the case, and a
Wo,M reporter wrote up the facts. Blu,
the poor little woman could do moth
ing more. She was barely ably to keep
herself and her child from starvation
and it was daily struggle to keep hel
landlord from evicting her. So she was
about to give up in despair when an
editor out in Kansas read the W0yl1
article. He wrote to Mrs. Giblin, and
after receiving her reply, wrote tc
Governor Hill, stating the case, and
asking him to suspend the sentence
The governor promptly granted his re-
quest, saying that the man should moi
be rallroaded to the gallows wher
there were good grounds for believing
him to be innocent. The Western
editor then went to Yew York and
investigated the matter thoroughly. A
commission of reference was appointed
to retake the testimony in the case
and the proof developed the perjury o
the witnesses for che prosecution, anC
the good character of the accused anc
the bad character of his assailants. Tht
result was that the sentence was com
muted to imprisonment for life pend
ing future proceedings.
Under the circumstances people viii
wonder why Giblin has not been re
leased. The newspapers say that $500
will be necessary to employ counsel
and only about half of that amour
has been raised. The strain of the pas
four years has wrecked the health Q
Mrs. Giblin, but the Western editor
Mr.. Warren Foster, Of The Hutchin
son, Kan, Gazette, proposes to kee
up the fight until he restores Giblm t
his family, and doubtless many per
sons who see the story in the news
papers will correspond with him, ant

justice.
1t is sad case, and shows that tn
way of the innocent is sometime
harder than that of the transgresso
in this wicked world.

A few days ago well-dressed woman called
at the jewelry store of SCOOTER 4 Co. in New
Orleans. to look at some diamonds, represent
ing herself as the niece of Mrs. C. A. Whitney,
one Of the wealthiest residents of New
Orleans. Tho caller did not have the
money to pay for the diamonds, and
a clerk accompanied her home to get it. She
went into Mrs. Whitney's to show the diamonds
to her aunt, she said, the clerk remaining out
side. He waited for half an hour and became
alarmed. He began a search. but the woman
had mysteriously disappeared. and no one in
the house could account for her. The police
and the detective agencies have been on the
alert ever since.
She afterward attempted to pawn some of the
diamonds. The police were summoned, but
again she mysteriously disappeared, leaving
Mr.. SCOOTER. The police have since arrested
Mrs. Henry Won Phul as the thief just as she
was about to leave for Baton Rouge.
Several diamonds and other jewelry were
pointed out by her in her house as those she
had taken from stores. Mrs. Won Phul comes
of one of the Oldest and most highly respected
creole families of the state. Her husband was
formerly a rich sugar planter of Baton Rouge,
and a son of a well-known st. Louis million
aire. The family assert that Mrs. Won Phul is
insane and say that she was once in an insane

Young and Pretty Kentucky Girl VIII
breaches the Gospel


breaches the Gospel.
From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
A pretty, rosy-cheeked girl, of barely fifteen
years, preached from the pulpit Of the Central
Gospel Mission last evening. Her name is Fam
ME Edwards, and she lives with her parents at
No. 1910 18th street. Last evening was the
second time she had appeared before the pub
lie in this city, and large audience greeted
her. Like all other preachers little Miss Fam
ME selects her text, reads chapter from the
Scriptures, and with the most pleasing SELF
possession she conducts the entire service, SER
mon and all.
The girl was converted at the Central Mission
when it was on jefferson street between 9th
and It'll. Six months ago she began to feel that
she had been called to preach the Gospel and
save sinners. Without any preparation she
started out evangelizing In the mountains of
western Virginia and east Tennessee. Great
crowds were attracted by the youthful girl
preacher, many people riding twenty or thirty
miles on horseback to hear her. Recently she
returned from the trip, on which she was ac-
companied by her mother. One week ago she
preached at the mission. and Evangelist Num-
nell was SO well pleased that he invited her to
preach again last night.
The child stepped into the pulpit few min
utes before 8 O. clock and exhorted for half an
hour, selecting as her text Luke, xiyl6. In
appearance she is very striking having a full,
round face, about which her pretty golden hair
hangs loosely. She will leave in few DAYS for
Sweet Home, Henry county, KY, where she
will continue her work.

SPEAKER CRISP RECOVERING.
He VIII Probably Consider the New Rule
in q Few Days.

in rev Days.
Speaker Crisp is now recovering quite rap
idly. Though 1t is not thought that it would
be safe for him to go ont for some time yet
lest he should take cold, being in a weak physi-
cal condition, he viii probably be able to begin
the consideration of the new rules within few
days.
The other democrats of the committee On
rules will confer with him at his hotel as soon
as it is thought to be desirable for him to begin
work. In this way the majority report will
probably be got ready SO that there will be no
delay in the presentation to the House after
the Speaker resumes his duties at the Capitol
There is really not a great amount OF work
to be done on the rules. The code of the
Fiftieth Congress will form the bases and but
few changes will be necessary to make the
rules conform to the ideas Of the Speaker and
the leaders Of the majority OF this
House The code will not contain
any Of the arbitrary features of the
Reed rules, but some of the laxity OF the old
Carlisle rules will be corrected. 1t is probable
that the right to legislate on appropriations to
reduce expo nditures will be restored in the in
terest of economy.
