"JUSTiCE Is SATISFIED,
VENGEANCE Is CRUEL"

WASHINGTON, Nov. IA special
to the Post from Wilmington, N. c.,
says: This city is remarkably quiet to-
night, the turmoil and terrible race
conflict considered. The military is do
ing police duty at the request of the
city authorities, although no martial
law has been proclaimed. There are
five companies on duty.
Mayor Waddell issued the following
proclamation tonight:
The comparatively few persons in this
city who seem disposed to abuse the op-
portunity of carrying arms, which recent
events afforded, and who are doing some
very foolish talking, are hereby notified
that no further turbulence or dsorderly
conduct will be tolerated They are no.
tilted that a regular police force will pre-
serve order, and every peaceable citizen
person and property. No armed patrol
except those authorized by the Chief of
Police Will appear on the streets. Justice
is satisfied, vengeance is cruel and ac-
cursed. a. w. WADDELL, Mayor.
Later the Mayor called a meeting of
the new Board of Aldermen. The pur-
pose of the meeting was to devise ways
and means to suppress lawlessness and
stop red shirts, FOUNDERS" and Sc
cret committees, who seem bent upon
forcing objectionable citizens" to leave
the city, and the proclamation given
above is the outcome of the meeting.
The negroes are thoroughly terror
lied Hundreds of them have left the
city, fleeing through the country in all
directions tonight. w. E. Henderson,
the most prominent negro lawyer here,
asked for military escort to the At
lantic coast line station for himself and
family 1t is believed the race war is
about over. Nobody has been shot to-
day and none of the wounded has
died.
WILMINGTON, N. c., Nov. 1.-THE
number of negroes known to have been
killed in the fight Thursday is six. Nine
negroes and three white men were
wounded. Only one of the white men,
William Mayo, is seriously hurt. Four
of the negroes are nortally wounded
They are in the City Hospital.
The negroes who We're killed are at
an undertaking establishment and the
bodies ere viewed to-day by large

LAWLESS ACTS OF
NEGROES AT PANA

PANA, ILL.,, Nov. 1.-THE imported
non union negro miners here are be-
coming reckless and the union white
miners are growing restless. Troop B
of Bloomington remains on duty here,
but almost nightly, in the Flathall
district, the negro residents practice
shooting at any white man that passes
through The negroes have been heav-
lily armed by the mine operators. Last
night the residences Of several white
miners were shot into by Winchesters
in the hands of the colored men. A
white widows cottage was pierced re-
peatedly by bullets, several charges
barely missing her three children.
The militia say they cannot appre-
hend the culprits. Captain T. P. But
Ter, in command, is apparently acting
entirely under orders of Sheriff Coburn
and is not following the instructions of
Governor Tanner given before election.
Captain Butler, when asked to disarm
the negroes, said it was useless, as the
Sheriff would arm them again. 1t is re-
ported that large contingent of out
side union white miners will soon ar
rive in Pana.
A consignment of 100 rifles was re-
ceived here to-day for citizens who in
tend protecting their property and fam
lilies. They claim that no protection is
given them by the Sheriff or troops

at the boom sale of 1SsS-aggregating the
sum of $3.50 900.
By this deal Foster, Palache and their
associates gain complete control of every
share of the capital stock in the broad
gauge line, which insures an end of the
costly litigation that has brought the af-
fairs of the road SO prominently before
the public and for a long time has pre-
vented the company extending its lines
into new territory.
The trouble began when Sidney V.
Smith broke with Foster and refused to
adhere to- an agreement entered into in
1898, after 1900 shares. of stock, were
bought by Smith Foster and Andrew
Markham. Then A. Borel and other mar
row-gauge stockholders bought Is W!
shares of stock from the Seligmans of
New York, which would have given them
complete control of the line at the cleo
ton to be held in January next The in
tention, after consolidating the lines, was
to discontinue the Tiburon branch Tor
passenger service and have single ferry
system at Sausalito. The leasing PROPOSE
ton settled this plan. and the late sale
settles everything.
1t is asserted by Mr. Foster that as soon
as possible the contemplated extension
from Ukiah north TO Eureka will be made
a reality. It is rumored that Mr.. Foster
will soon succeed Mr.. Palache as presi-
dent of the new company.

COMPLIMENTARY BANQUET
GIVEN GENERAL MILES
In the Course of Speech He Says
the Marrow Limits Are Be-
ing Outgrown.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE compliment
tary banquet given to Major General
Miles, commanding the United States
Army, at the Waldorf-Astoria tonight, in
point of numbers, extensive preparations
and brilliancy rivaled the great banquet
given last year in honor of President Nc
Kinley by the merchants and manufac-
turers of the country. The leading per-
sons, military. naval and business men
were represented, 700 being present All
of the second floor of the Astoria portion
of the hotel was utilized for the dinner.
The grand banquet hall was too small,
and small tables were set in the adjoining
rooms The banquet hall itself was a
marvel of beauty.
In concluding speech General Miles
said:
We are ascending to a clearer atmosphere
up to a higher mesa, where we should take a
stronger position than ever before occupied
by our Government and people. We cannot
longer confine ourselves to the narrow limits
that governed US in the, past, Much has been
said of what has been the ruling policy of the
people. This much 1 think, is apparent to
all: That the grave responsibilities of the
nation are too great to be contaminated by
personal, partisan sectional interests. Our
interests national in the highest degree.
They embrace two hemispheres They involve
the welfare of a hundred millions of the hui
man race. We getting TO that time when
we will require not only the ablest men, but
many of them in every department, to pro-
tect and administer the affairs of the nation.

T0LBERT LAYS THE
BLAME: ON DEMOCRATS

WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.-R. r. Toll
bert, whose father and brother We're
shot in the recent race war at Phoenix
S. c., was at the Department of Justice
to-day to secure an investigation by the
Federal authorities. He was accom-
panied by some of the Republican poll
ticians Of the State. The elder Tolbert
is now in the State penitentiary for
safety from popular violence.
Mr.. Tolbert says that the true facts
OF the rioting have not been given. The
facts are, he said. as follows:
I was nominated for Congress by
the Republicans of my district. For the
purpose of making a contest before the
House my brother, T. P. Tolbert agreed
to be present at the polling place at
Phoenix for the purpose of Witnessing
the affidavits of cOlored men who were
rejected as voters because of their in
ability to comply with the requirements
Of the constitution.
My brother took no part in the man
agement of the polling place, which
was in the hands of the Democrats.
He simply sat on the piazza of Mr.
Lakes house and witnessed the atf1-
daVits given him, depositing the affi-
davits in box prepared for the pur-
pose.
Mr.. Etheridge, the white man who
was killed, was an election manager at
a precinct two miles away. He left his
own precinct and, with a party of men,
went to Phoenix. He walked up with
his party to where my brother was
sitting at table and deliberately
kicked over the table and box in which
were put the certificates. Then he as
saulted my brother. In a short while
the Democratic voters who were in the
same house rushed out and commenced
shooting into the crowd. The negroes
fed. My brother, who is probably dead
by now, told me that Etheridge was
killed by shots from his own friends.
Ny brother did not have weapon on
his person"
Mr. TOlbert said that he was at Abb
beyville, twenty-five miles away from
the shooting. His father, J. R. Tolbert.
was at Verdry, another precinct When
the elder Tolbert learned of the riot he
started to the scene in his buggy, ac-
companied by a little ten-year-old
nephew. Before he reached the scene
he was met by a mob, which riddled
the buggy with bullets and wounded
him and the little boy a number of
times. 1t is said that the boy was
killed by the shots.
T. P. TOlbert, who was first shot by
the mob, was aided to his home some
distance from the scene, and was pur-
sued by the mob. While lying in bed
in dying condition the mob attempted
to make him give the name Of the per-
son who had killed Etheridge. He said
he could not because Etheridge had
been killed by the Democrats them
selves.
On finding his father so badly wound

FIRM OFFICIALS
PREVENT LYNCHlNGS

WILMINGTON, N. c.. Nov. 11.-This
disturbed and long -perturbed commu-
nifty seems at last to be entering upon
an era of peace and order The com
pIete change in the municipal govern
ment effected last night with some
suddenness, but with great unanimity,
has placed men in control of local af-
fairs representing the best elements Of
the city The firm hand of the law is
being laid upon the town and is hold
ing in restraint all classes which might
threaten disorder. The first act of the
new government was to swear in 250
special policemen. Cool-headed men
were selected for these posts and were
instructed to prevent any attempts to
terrorize the negroes, as well as to frus-
trate acts Of lawlessness by the latter
Good government was put TO a test
yesterday and the new officials were
called upon almost before they had
taken their seats to make good their
promises to preserve order. A big
lynching party was planned for the
night and it took all that the Mayor
and his assistants could do to pre-
vent it.
The negroes were in Jail who had

PLACED IN PENlTENTIARY
FOR THEIR OWN SAFETY

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. IA Journal
special from Greenwood, S. c., says:
Everything was believed to have set
tied into it's formal state at Phoenix
City, but to-day telegram says word
was sent to Columbia to hold John R.
Tolbert and his son Sidney, who are in
the penitentiary there. The dispatch
said affidavits duplicating the Tolberts
in the recent race troubles were on the
way to Columbia, and it is now believed
it is the intention to bring them back
to Phoenix. II this is done it is feared
further trouble will result, although
leading citizens are deprecating any
further violence.
The Tolberts escaped to Columbia two
days ago, and after having their
wounds dressed were placed in the pen
itentiary as precautionary measure.

| been arrested during the excitement of
the day, and some persons of the town
thought they should be summarily dis
patched. One was prominent leader,
Thomas Miller, who was charged with
declaring that he would wash his hands
in a white mans blood before night.
Another was A. r. Bryant, charged
with being a dangerous character The
others were less prominent, but had all
been under the ban of the whites Tor
conduct calculated to incite trouble.
Mayor Naddell and his associates put
a VETO upon the proposed lynching
They said that good government was to
prevail in Wilmington from this time
and would commence Immediately. The
would-be lynchers were so insistent
that the Mayor called out a guard and
kept the jail surrounded all night. This
morning the six negroes were taken out
and escorted to the north bound train
by a detachment of militia, to be ban
ished from the city. The citizens
cheered as they saw them going, for
they considered their departure condu-
Give to peace In the future.
The men were started for Richmond.
This is but the beginning of a general
movement to rid the town of the turbu
lent negro leaders. 1t is not proposed
to use violence, but to send them away
with instructions not to return. Squads
of men are out to-day searching for the
most notorious characters and they will
be deported as soon as they are found.
Last night the white Republican Dep
uty Sheriff, G.. z. French, left the city.
He was followed to the train and mar
rowly escaped violence. a party of men
went into the car, determined to take
him out The arrival of Fred Stead
man, who is one Of the most conserYa-
tive and cool-headed men in town,
while being at the same time leader
in the movement for white supremacy
frustrated the attempt. He was Joined
by two other citizens, and the three
persuaded the crowd to let French go.
French was prominent in Republican
politics and has been charged with or
ganizing the negroes
Several white men of the community,
who have become obnoxious from their
leadership of and association with ne
gro politicians, are also to be deported.

SAN RAFAEL, Nov. 1l.-When Presi-
dent A. w. Foster and his associates

ed r. R. Tolbert procured a doctor, who
attended to the wounds of the senior
Tolbert. After placing his family in, a
safe place Mr.. Tolbert came ON to this
city.
Mr.. Tolbert states that his brother
said that so far as he could see no shots
were fired by the negroes at Phoenix.
They fed as soon as the shooting com
menced, leaving T. P. Tolbert as the
target for the mob to shoot at.
At late hour this afternoon Mr.. Toll
bert, accompanied by Solicitor General
Richards of the Department of Justice.
called at the White House and had an
extended interview with President Nc
Kinley. He related to the President
the story of his experiences in South
Carolina, substantially as given in the
foregoing, entering into minute details
of the trouble on election day. The
President listened attentiyely to the
recital, but gave no indication of what
action, if any, might be taken. How
ever, he requested Mr.. Tolbert to see
the Attorney General and make him
full statement of the situation as he
viewed 1t.
Returning to the Department of JUS
tice Mr.. Tolbert had an interview with
Attornev General Griggs, who had just
returned to the city from New Jersey.
At the conclusion of the interview the
Attorney General said he would have a
conference with the President upon the
matter as soon as possible and it would
then be determined what, if anything,
would be done.
Tonight Attorney General Griggs
spent some time with the President,
but so far as could be ascertained no
decision of the question presented by
Mr.. Tolbert was reached.
In addition to the effort of the De-
partment of Justice to secure definite
and official information concerning
Tuesdays rioting steps have been taken
to afford ample protection to the elder
Tolbert, who is Collector of Customs
at the port of Charleston. 1t is said
that, as a Government officer in the
exercise of his individual rights and
in the performance of his official du-
ties, the Federal Government will not
permit him to be interfered with.

Horticulture.

Insects and diseases are compell-
ing market gardeners to adopt bet
ter rotation; they have relied main
~ upon manures TO maintain the
fertility of the soil. Common sense
should suggest that crops nearly al
lied should not follow each other,
even though the gardener must
somewhere grow what the market
demands.
Where an orchard tree has died
it is hard to make new one grow.
1t has been found advan tageous to
treat the ground with salt and ash
es. Remove the old stump, to be
rid of disease germs, and then work
into the ground a gallon of salt and
liberal allowance of ashes. The
latter will aid the salt in driving off
insects, and will also furnish plant
food.
The Bubach strawberry is one of
the most popular berries that has
been placed on the market. Intro
duced many years ago, it has been a
general favorite. The flowers are
imperfect, hence a staminate varie-
ty should be planted with it. The
fruit is large, round, cOnical, some
times wedgedshaped, dark scarlet
and sweet. As shipper it is mod
erately firm, slightly hollow. 1t is
handsome berry, but requires
