The Power OF The Press.

We heartily endorse the following
editorial from the Raleigh BIbHfal
Recorder.
The longer we live, the more nee
essary it appears to us that the people
have confidence in the press. Beyond
all shadow of a doubt, the press is the
safeguard of the people. In the same
ratio does the necessity fora cool head :
ed and honest press appear. To follow
false leader, to have a false friend
to have a pretended safe guard, is
worse than to have none at all. A
newspaper is nothing, if it has not the
confidence of its readers, it is nothing
10 itself (unless it be money, nothing
to It's readers, nothing to the common
good. We advise every man who can
establish any reasonable ground sus-
pectlng the editor Of paper he takes
to be liar or to be capable of deceiv
ing the people, concealing that which
ought to be told, or disappearing
facts with a motive, or for inducement
or because OF prejudice, to quit reading
the paper then and there. No such
paper has room in home, nor on
earth.

SOUTHERN PROGRESS.

Vice President St. John, Of the Sea-
board Airline, which operates about
1000 miles Of railway from Ports
mouth, Va, TO Atlanta, recently
gave New York Morning /oH,na!
reporter very interesting talk about
the southern Industrial outlook.
Mr.. St. John pronounces the indus
trial opportunities of the south mex
haustible, and says that our natural
advantages are not equaled in any other
section. From his long experience IN
immigration matters he thinks that it
is ridiculous for settlers to prefer such
states as Kansas when they have their
choice OF farm lands in Virginia, the
Carer mas and Georgia. The capital
ISIS and business men of New York
have been the first to recognize our
splendid opportunities, and they are
confident that the future field of in
dustrial activity will be in this region.
10 be convinced ofthis fact stranger
has only to visit the south and investi-
gate the situation. Hundreds Of other
occupations are profitable here besides
the cultivation of cotton and cereals.
The fortunes of the future will be
made in the development of our min
eral and manufacturing resources. We
have cotton at our doors ready for the
spinner, iron and other ores for the
smelter, and tobacco crops rlpenIng
for the manufacturer. The efforts al
ready made show what can be done.
Last year great North Carolina
manufacturing concern spent $780,
900, in advertising, and the results
were SO satisfactory that it has in
creased its advertising fund for this
year to S25o 1000.
The Atlanta exposition with its dl-
versfied attractions will gave prac-
teal illustration of what the south is
doing, and its object lesson will open
the eyes of the outside world. The
Baltimore Manufacturers Ree0r0
says.
| The South has raised the largest crop
OF corn in its history, and likewise the
| largest fruit and vegetable crop; lts
cotton crop promises a fair yield, with q
| prospect for good prices; it's industrial
| interests are almost without exception
| busy and prosperous; its furnaces are
| pushed to meet the demand for iron al
| profitable figures: it, coal mines arr
| turning out u larger product than ever
| before: its textile Industries are develop
| ing at an amazing rate, and all Other
| interests are busy, while capital and pop
ulation are tending southwark iron
| every other section. Such combination
never existed before in the SOuth's his
| tory.
Only Il few days ago a firm in Annis
| ton secured q contract for 10000 ton!
Of east iron pipe for Yokohoma Japan
| the largest contract over made by al
| American concern for foreign shipment
| During the business depression tn
southern cotton mills have all run OF
full time without reducing their wages
and their dividends have ranged from
l. to 60 per cent, and in one instance tt
| so per cent.
We commend this chapter of thu
southern progress to the consideration
Of those who desire Of know more ofth,

Saratoga Gambling Houses to be Closed
Regardless of Public Sentiment.
SARATOGA, n. Y, July 4. = Those
Chicago and Cincinnati gamblers who
have for a number Of years reaped u
summer harvest here will find Saratoga
is not the "Monte Carlo" it was last sea-
son, when everything in the line of
gambling ran wide open. A different
administration has control now, and if
gambling exists at all it will have to be
conducted in quiet manner.
Village President Charles 81. Sturges
writed upon the board of police commits
sioners and declared the laws against
gam bling must be enforced. He caused
CONSERVATION among the commissioners
by adding that failure on their part to
suppress gam bling would compel him to
prefer charges against each and every
member of the board.
President Sturges imperatively stated
there must be no gambling in Saratoga
Springs this summer. He also took
occasion to say his action was backed by
eight of the thirteen members of the
board of village trustees Some of the
commissioners asked that discrimiua-
ton be made in favor of Canield's Sara
tcga club house and couple of other
esta blishments, but Mr.. Sturges repeated
his declaration. The sporting fraternity
receives the news in silent dismay.

MRS. O'LEARY DEAD.

The Woman Whose Cow Caused the Great
Chicago Fire Is No More.
CHICAGO, July 4. = Mrs Cathariue
O'Leary, owner of the fractions COW
which, in the rear of No 1877 De Koven
street on a memorable night in October,
1871, kicked over lamp and started a
blaze which cost Chicago $190,000000,
died last evening of acute pneumonia.
A large concourse of relatives and
friends were at the residence last night
paying their respects of sympathy to the
family.
A three-story stone front brick struc-
ture occupies the site where, in 1871,
stood the O'Leary cottage. The struc-
ture is used as 8 fiat building. The
place owes its interest to nothing but the
fact that the great Chicago fire origina-
ted there.
That the story of Mrs. O'Leary's cow
and the lamp-laughed at by some-is
true is vouched for by the Chicago His
torical society. Upon large stone in the
front of the house at No 1877 De Koven
street appears these words:
"The great fire of 1871 originated here
and extended to Lincoln park. Chicago

ONLY A SEA TURTLE.
II 1t Aroused the Grocer to Action
and He Shot Quickly.

Tt 1t Aroused the Grocer to Action
and He Shot Quickly.
A big gren sea turtle was responsible
for all the excitement in the neighbor-
hood of Preston and Camp streets, Lou
isville, KY, the other morning. Tho
turtle was the property of c. L. Hofr-
man, a grocer on the corner of Pres
ton and Camp streets. Some days ago
during the rain Hoffman saw a shower
of turtles fall from the heavens. The
turtle that aroused the neighbors was
not one of these. 1t was turtle shipped
from the seaboar l. 1t was an immense
1eathery creature about three feet
across the back. Hoffman had a big
tank made for the turtle, and put in
about two feet Of water. Saturday
night some one in the store turned on
the water, and filled the tank to within
a few inches of the top. Hoffman lives
upstairs over the store. He had been
asleep probably two hours when he was
aroused by noise. He jumped up out
of bed and seized his pistol. AS ne was
pulling on his clothes he heard start
ling succession of noises that were
enough to rouse the dead. They sounded
as If two or three men were scufi1ine
over the floor and tipr 'ng over barrels
and boxes in their struggles. In the
darkness he could not see nothing, but
he got a line the direction from
which the noise came, anG fired. He
fired again and again. until he had
emptied his revolver. BY this time all
the neighborhood had been aroused
with a startling suddenness. They con-
| cluded that some dire tragedy was be-
| Ing committed. They poked their
| heads out Of the windows. and as they
, saw Officer Manly hurrying down the
| street with his club and pistol in hand
! they were certain that the deed was
! bloody one. Ofncer Manly raped at

opened. Mr.. Hoffman stood before him.

TORE OFF HER THUMB.
A Bomb Thrown Into a Crowd Mutilates
Young Girl.


Fort WAYNE, Ind, July "A panic
was caused last night by the acticn of an
unknown man who threw q gas pipe
bomb into crowd of people rushing to
q fire.
The Internal machine was seen soaring
over the heads of the people and some
one sounded cry of alarm.
Everybody sought. a place Of safety,
but Miss Minnie Hazemeyer, a
girl sixteen years of age, was
unable to get out of range Of
the missile as she had been thrown down
by the excited and affrighted crowd.
She had just risen to her knees when
the bomb exploded with terrific force,
hurting the ragged pieces of iron
in all directions One of the
fragments struck the girl In the throat,
cutting a terrible cash. Another frag
ment tore off one of her thumbs and she
was dashed violently back upon the
ground by the force of the explosion.
The author of the outrage was seen
to throw the bomb, but the police have
a poor description and it ls doubtful if
he will be captured. The affair created
the most intense indignation and had he
been captured a lynching would have
followed in short order.

Resorts to the RumiIiating Method of De-

The means being resorted to by Gov

A prominent delegate in the convention

that he had seen statement over Cover

that interview.
The facts are the interview in ques-
ton was originally published in the
Kansas City Star and the next day after
its publication Governor Morrill, told the
Star correspondent that the interview was
all right and that he had been correctly re-
