 of the Local Market.
Age-HeraId Office,

4ft ss Monday Night, May D. Sugar continues to climb. It advanced 3-16c today There is free buying in antlci- patton of further rise.
 Flour is trife less firm. Millers agents quote: Best patent, $3.S5; straight $3'6O; clear, $40; low grade. $3.05.
 Ribs are frmer; packers quotation, $65O. Corn is decidedly stronger on increased demand and limited supply. Quotations, however have not advanced yet. Revised quotations of hay show an ad- vance of 50 cents. .s.l- Today being Monday the produce market was rather slow. Dealers are felieitatlng themselves that the glut in crate vegeta- bles has disappeared, and look for better prices. Last week 1t was difficult to realize anything over express charges.
 New potatoes are improving in quality, a fact which bolsters prices to some ex- tent.
 Lemons are scarcer.
 There are no new tomatoes offering. Ship ments are expected within week from Florida and South Alabama. 5-Dr Eighteen or twenty crates of berries came in from Cullman. Most of them graded high and brought from 121s to 15 cents. One extra fine lot realized 171sc.
 Butter is flat. Receipts are heavy and sales slow.
 Eggs are rather weak at He; supply fully up to demand.
 Poultry is active; hens are scarcer. No spring chickens have arrived yet. A dealer just returned from trip through St. Clair and other counties says that young chick ems are very backward and 1t will be some time yet before shipments "F'ryers,' and ''broilers' would certainly bring fancy prices.

To the County Superintendents:
Thousands of dollars Of the public
school funds are lost every year in the
purchase of unnecessary and worthless
school apparatus, charts, etc, etc.
The schools should be protected in
this respect, and it is your duty to see
toit that no agents palm off their worth
less goods on the people by misrepre-
senting the same to the district directors.
The directors of one county in this
State have recently expended more than
Sc, ,0O0in the purchase of such worthless
apparatus.
You should recommend nothing that
is not needed in your county, and then
YOU should know that the article recon-
mended is the very thing wanted.
You can not be too careful in giving
recommendation and testimonials.
Decided and wise action on your part
will protect the school funds.
Yours truly,

In most cases, however, the victims

guilty offenders are negroes.

be some excuse for patience and
some room for mercy, but this is so
shocking and horrible from every
point of view, that all that can be
said of the wretch who perpetrates

We hold that mob law is danger

but in ancient times no legal pen
atty was provided for deeds such as
occurred in Henderson County a
few weeks ago (when two white la
dies, a mother and daughter, were
brutally assaulted aud outraged by
two negro scoundrels) and when it
happened the people in those days
were left free to punish it as they
pleased. There is a similar feeling
to-day with regard to the right of a
community to deal in its own way
with the rapist-which means to
put a rope around his neck and in
this way make an expedious end OF
so loathsome a brute.
Nor Wilt do to say that this in

always prompted by the best in.

can be no debate on such a subject
