BLOODY RACE RIOT.
Gang of Negro Miners Near Birnn-

Sheriff's Posse.

Birmingham, Ala, July 81. The sher-.
ifs posse has returned from Brookside,
the scene of last nights race riot, bring
ing with them ten negro rioters who
had been arrested, two men having been
rescued from the enraged white miners,
after ropes had been placed about their
necks preparatory to hanging them. Half
a dozen officers were left at BrOOksIde
to arrest other rioters and prevent fur
Their trouble. Mine Boss Culverhouse of
the Sloss Iron and Steel company dis
charged Jim Smith, a negro mine driver,
Smith refused to leave the company
premises when ordered off by the super
intendent. A warrant charging him with
,treSpaSSlng was sworn out Smith ana
his friends entrenched themselves IN
h ditch and poured a murderOuS hre from
their cover on those who were to serve
the warrant, shooting down two officers
at the first volley. Reinforcements came
to the whites, but the negroes never
ceased firing until their ammunition was
exhausted. Then they fed to the woods,
the whites in pursuit Three dead me-
groes are reported found and one wound
ed. One woman is among the rioters
arrested. Half dozen women took part
in the riot. All is quiet now. aa.,l,vs.. S
This morning Jim Bridges, one of the
alleged leaders of the negroes in the
Brookside riot, was seen in the woods
near Brookside, and Deputies Cole and
Jones pursued him and covered him with
winchesters. He offered a little resist
ance, but was finally taken. Lynching
was talked of, but was not attempted.
9 There is but little work in Brookside
today and the 700 or 800 whites and
blacks are discussing last nights affairs
in groups. A single pistol shot would
precipitate more serious trouble. All
possible ammunition has been centered
At noon everything is quiet.

WALES MAY STAY HOME.
Fears a Socialistic Demonstration
at the Opening of Southhamp-
ton Docks.

London, July 31.-Reports were cur
rent today that the Prince of Wales had
cancelled his engagement to open the
new docks at Southampton on Saturday,
owing to the disloyal attitude of the
Socialists of the borough, who have been
threatening to make counter demon
stration. At recent meeting of the
county council Aid. Exten, a Socialist,
formally protested against the prince
being accorded special recognition, and
at a subsequent meeting of his party he
denounced the prince as a scamp whose
presence would be no credit to the city.
So far, the report that the prince would
STAY awav has not been confirmed.

there is no probab ility that it will rise SO

CAUSES OF FAILURE.
Factories have been started in Maine
for the manufacture OF hardwood and
have failed, but what has been the
cause? In nine cases out of ten it has
been this: They have departed from
the manufacture of Maine woods and
have tried to manufacture woods brought
from the South and West, and they were
obliged to compete in the market with
the manufacturers of Virginia and the
West, and this has crippled them. But
know OF no instance Of any factory
started in Maine, which manufactured
only Maine lumber, which has not sue
ceeded. But | do know OF several firms
who have departed from the manufacture
OF Maine woods, who have been unsuc-
cessful and obliged either to return to
the manufacture OF Maine woods only or
make an assignment.
A gentleman who is well versed in the
hardwood OF Maine and its manufacture,
says that he honestly believes that the
hardwood growth on Union river and its
tributaries will prove of more real bsne
fit to this place than the soft wood has
been. He says that he has been sending
to Boston, hardwood in plank, two, three,
and four inch, green, and receiving SIS to
s26 per thousand, landed there, and it
costs him 3 per thousand to ship it by
schooner. He also says he now has an
offer from firm III Boston (who makes
chairs) OF from Sls to ;33 per thousand
for good chair stock.
On inquiry also fad that there is a
demand for the hardwood bark which
you are obliged TO peel OF before you can
drive your logs.

themselves, and if We wish to remain in

r.lace. ourselves in some way in better con-
nectiun with our outlying districts, ana
especially with the fruitful region Whlch
lies to the north of US.
In my humble opinion, by the estab-
fishing of such line up along our river,
the hardwood problem would be solved
and our city would receive an impetus in
business and prosperity such as it has
never had before.
With the increased interest and profit
that must come to the agricultural por-
ton of our community during the next
few years, by more intelligent ana sss
tematic farming, much OF the land now
wort HESS, that lies along this river for
many miles back, will become OF value,
and where is now nothing but bushes
and stumps will become fertile fields and
happy homes.

of whom we have quite number, be in

CAN IT BE BROUGHT HERE FOR
MANUFACTURE
BY DR.. W. NJ. HAINES.


Mr. President and Gentlemen:
feel complimented BY your request for
an article on the above subject, but If in
stead, you had asked me to write an artl-
Gle on Nv hat | do not know about farm
ing" think l might have been able to
have presented you with quite a voluml-
nous document. cannot help feeling also
as the Irishman did when helping to
carry the heavy stick of timber, that l
would Just as soon have had one of the
ends as the middle of this subject, for,
with the presence of the hardwood easily
demonstrated, ana It's manufacture in
many other places an established fact, the
little matter OF how to get it here becomes
of considerable Importance.
While at the outset expressing almost
entire lack of personal knowledge of the
topic under discussion, have endeavored
10 obtain the opinions of men who would
be the best posted on such matters. Tax
been said, and from the personal obser-
walton that many OF US have had who
have viewed the extensive forests OF hard
wood from the top of the elevations over
which our first settlers 50 kindly located
our highways, that the material Is there,
the question naturally arises, how shall
We get it here to work it up into the
thousand and one Things both useful and
ornamental for which it is adapted?
AT first thought it would seem to be a
self-evldent fact that wood being lighter
than water, it would float down itself,
AS the old lady said about the indigo, lit
will either sink or swiman don't know
which, but II is easily demonstrated that
green hard wood is OF such specific
gravity that it floats with much difficulty
and with bat little Of lis body above the
surface. Some kinds Of our hard- wood
Will sink like 50 much lead when put in
to the water, and the larger part Of it Will
hoat when ca. aud put in green bat a
very short time, a matter OF & very few
weeks at the longest, and even now the
bed OF this river for many miles back
contains thousands of cords of fine hard
wood cut years ago that have failed to
reach their destination.
HARDWOOD CAN BE FLoATED.
After consultation with practical and
experienced men | find, however, that
hardwood when properly prepared can
be easily fioated the distance required
and with the loss of but a very small per-
cent. The process of boring and plug
ging the log has not been successful, and
it stands to reason that the very small
amount of air which could be confined in
the log by such a process, would add but
little to its buoyancy.
Cutting the trees in June and topping
them off in September is said by many te
be effective in making the wood more
buoyant, but practical lumbermen do not
advocate The practice.
Many other methods are advised but all
lack reasonable degree of certainty OF
securing the desired result except one
and that is, Of cutting the trees in June OF
July, when the sap is in the proper state
and peeling the bark off same as would be
done for q hemlock, cut the logs into the
proper length and then cover carefully
again with the bark and brush, leaving
an air space between the bark and the log
