A SERIOUS riot between whites and
blacks was narrowly averted at Winston
Sunday night.
1t was given out in several churches
during the day that an attempt was going
to be made to lynch Arthur Tuttle negro
on trial there for the murder of Policeman
Vickers last May.
After church about $50 negroes orga-
nized and marched to the Jail where they
remained for several hours. They we're
armed with pistols and guns. Mayor
Gray went to the Jail and assured the
negroes there was no danger of lynching
and begged them to disperse.
Judge Brown, who is holding court,
notified the negroes that they were vio-
lating the law. He told them that Tuttle
should have fair trial and that he would
be responsible for Tuttle's protection.
The negroes said they would leave if the
sberiff would put guard of twenty men
around the Jail This was done but
many of the mob refused to 60 away.
Sheriff Macarthur then ordered out the
rifemen besides a number of deputies who
were sworn in. Judge Brown instructed
the sheriff to arrest those who did not
leave.
The mob began firing on the officers,
several of whom were struck with small
birdshot but none seriously wounded
The rifemen fred several volleys into the
crowd, causing the negroes to disperse in
quick order. Fourteen of the rioters was
arrested by officers and put in Jail.
Mayor E. E. Gray telegraphed Mayor
Weddington Monday morning to send the
Gatling gun to Winston at once. Mayor
Weddington answered that he had no au
thority to send the gun without orders
from Adiutant General Cameron. Mayor
Gray telegraphed Adjutant General that
it was necessary to have the Gatling gun
to aid in keeping the peace of the town
A telegram came to Capt. Franklin,
of the Queen City Guards to send the
piece and crew to man it to Winston on
the first train. The gun was Immediately
packed and sent on the evenings train.
So far as is known here all is quite
there. The sheriff believes that the
trouble is under control.
LATER-Arthur Tuttle, who killed Po'
liceman Vickers, of Winston, few months
since, was Tuesday convicted Of murder
in the second degree. The rumor that
Tuttle would be lynched caused the riot
Sunday night. Everything has Quilted
down now and no further trouble is exs
| pected.

~ The remarkable advance in the
price of iron during the last two months
and the continued activity in the iron
market means very much for the South.
The furnaces now in operation are max
ing good profits, and there is now fair
prospect not only that every well-located
furnace in the South will soon be in ope
ration, but that there will be good
foundation for the building of more fur
naces. The consumption of iron is
steadily increasing, and the lO,OOO,OOO-
ton notch of few years ago must soon
be largely increased. 1t is hardly un-
reasonable to look for a consumptive
demand of 100000 tons a year some
time before the eEd of the century. This
would mean a wonderful increase in
furnace building and iron and coal de
velopments generally. The results Of
this prosperity in the iron trade will be
felt in every part of the south.-Man".

Spurt in Cotton Business.

NEW YORK, August I0.-Thsre was
more genuine excitement in cotton trading
this morning than there has been for the
past month owing to the Government Bu-
reau report, which was given out at II
o'clock. It had been expected that the
report would show q ageneral improve
ment in the crop over last year Of at least
2 per cent, and an improvement also in
the condition of cotton in Texas. In this,
however, the bears were disappointed.
The report was surprise to even the bulls
and the result was . rapid rise in prices
Immediately after the report was read
When the bears heard the report they
began to cover 40 rapidly as possible
The market started up several points ut 9
time beyond the opening figures, and
business was brisk.

~T The Nashville Advocate talks solid
sense in the following: alt may be hard
and difficult for you to live within your
means; but if you are an homes man
you must do it. To spend more money
than you make is to open the way to
untold troubles and to insare the final
ruin of your reputation and character.
For no reason-not to crafty your own
tastes, nor to help even a useful charity
should you adopt a policy so fraught
with evil consequences. After all, the
people who are compelled to practice
rigid economy get as much good out OF
life as anybody else. plain living and
high thinking often go together To be
able to do without luxuries is better than
to have them"

There is food for thought on the part
of the North Carolina farmer in the table
given above. 1t will observed that prices
fuctuate greatly, that they not only
vary much with different years but that
they vary also during the twelve months
of every year. 1t will be noted that the
prices for the thirty years covered by this
table ranged from seven cents to one dol
lar and ten cents-the average being
something more than twenty-five cents .

Emergency Courts.

= a convention will soon be held in South
Carolina to revise and amend the Consti-
luton OF that State, and among other
changes suggested is one to create an
Emergency Court-a court which can bo
summoned instantly to deal with accused
persons who would otherwise fall into the
hands of "Judge Lynch"
Laurie T. Izlar, Esq, of Blackville, is ad.
vocatlng this scheme, and he proposes to
extend the jurisdiction of the Emergency
Court to call crimes for which the death
penal y is inflicted" He would also give
the Court of General Sessions concurren mt
Jurisdiction of such crimes, his idea being,
OF course, that the Emergency Court
would only be held to try cases which
could not be promptly tried by regular
court. The Charleston News and Courier
thinks that this ought to meet the re-
qulrements of the situation exactly "The
special court would not interfere with the
regular court in any way, and would take
its place only when desirable and neces-
sary," and it argues that the mere fact
of the existence of such a court, which
would be available for service, at a few
hours notice, would tend to stay
the passions of the people, and that the
prompt trial and punishment of heinous
crimes which it would afford would soon
restore the confidence and respect of
the people generally in the courts and
induce in them literally more lawabiding
and orderly disposition. The News and
Courier thinks, however, that it would
accomplish the still further good result of
serving also to deter the commission of
crime. It says: "W hen it has once be-
come we'll understood by the criminal
classes that there is court which is al,
ways ready and equipped to try at
once, and prosecute at once, crimes
of violence, without leaving open
chance of evading its sentence after con-
viction, it is highly probable that the
would be criminal will be far less ready to
commit crime. A very few examples of
sure and swift justice will make the fact
of change from the old system public and
impressive, and, we believe, effective for
its purpose. The experiment promises
we'll, and is we'll worth trying. That
it should be tried is beyond all questson."

merits of the dispensary law and prohi1

Y, last Thursday and Friday, between
Senator TilIman and Ex-Governor St.
John. of Kansas. The Kansas prohibi-
ZIONIST held that the sale of liquor is a
crime, and that, therefore, the State cans
not legally engage in it. Senator Tills
man took the ground that men will
always drink liquor, and the best solution
of the problem lies in the system that will
ensure the least amount of drunkenness
The merits of the speeches were decided
upon by a committee of 19. The vote
was l to 8 in favor of the dispensary
