the new air motor company goes into
such large plant as that of the ola
Rhode Island Locomotive Company, the
inducements to consolidate would be
greatly augmented.
General Manager Hill, when APP
preached on the subject yesterday
was averse to discussing it for publica-
ton. He said to the reporter: There
is absolutely nothing certain about that
matter, and 1 know no more about it
than you do. If Mr. Letters project
goes through and the plant is located
in Providence, the engine business here
may develop to such an extent that new
buildings may be erected On the
other hand, it may not. What the re-
suit will be, l cannot say, but at all
events, / shall exert any influence l
may have to have the engine company
remain in this city" Mr. Hill said
that so far as he was aware, no new
developments had arisen in connection
with Letters scheme, and that if they
had. the transactions would be carried
on in New York and not in this city.
He denied that Mr.. Massie's visit had
any connection with the Letter deal,
and declared he was simply here on
business connected with the WheeloCk
Engine Company.
l-dNSe CT Ming also QeCllQeQ 10 discuss
the matter for publicatioqat any length
In his position as counsel for the Vince
lock Engine Company and counsel for
the American Air Power Company, he
is thoroughly acquainted with the in
side workings of the big deal. He adj
mitted that a figure on the Rhode Isl
and locomotive works had been sub
mitted but would not state what it is
He also stated that Mr. Massie's visit
was of an informal nature, and that he
was shown through the works of the
Wheelock Engine Company, particular
attention being paid to a description
of the process of manufacturing the air
motors.
1t is to be hoped that the possibility
of Worcester's losing the Wheelock En-
CINE Company may not develop into a
reality, for that concern has long been
regarded as one of the stable industries
of the city. and it's loss would be keen
ly felt. The probability that the air
motor combine will locate in Provi-
dence will prove bad news to the people
of this city. many of whom had looked
forward with longing to the establish
ment of another industry here, and es-
pecially one of such Importance as that
sure to develop from Letters big air
motor deal.

Dead1 y Cancer"
Cured at Last !
Do Not Give Up in De-
spair-There is Hope;

For ages it has. been thought
that Cancer is incurable, and
those SO unfortunate as to have
this dreadful affection have con-
sidercd themselves beyond hope of
recovery. The doctors are ab-
solutely unable to afford any re-
lief, and the poor sufferer might
woll consider himself on the way
to al early grave.
1t Is now easy to gee why the
doctors have failed to cure Cancer.
Their theories have been all wrong,
and hence their treatment mis-
directed. They have made the
mistake of thinking that by cut
ting out tho sore or ulcer, known
as Cancer, the disease would be
gotten rid of, and the patient re-
stored to health. But tho cruel
knife accomplishes nothing, for
the Cancer promptly returns ,and is
always more virulent than before.
1t has been demonstrated, beyond
doubt, that Cancer is blood disease,
and can not be cured by the surgeons g
knife because the blood can not be cut
dudu.
Several years ago my wife had an
ulcer on her tongue, which, though an
moving, was not regarded seriously at
first. 1t refused to heal and began to
grow, giving her much pain. The doc
tors treated it for quite while but

ton ia PARALLEL case. That it's sot
purpose is maintenance Of law and
order is shown by the acts of tho
new city government. A crowd hav-
ing collected to lynch two negro dis
turbers who were in jail under ar!
rest, the newly chosen mayor put
himself at tho head OF an armed
guard to protect the Jail and prevent
the lynching. # i ! S ..
Tho behavior Of tho crowd that
wrecked the negro printing house
made as significant an episode.
While tho negro publishers were
fleeing for their lives to another coun-
ty and tho crowd was demollshing
the printing machinery and stock,
some hothead set the building on
fire. This WAS not the purpose of
tho mob, and the fire department.
was promptly sent for. Tho whites
were determined to do no more vio-
lence to property and order than was
unavoidable to onrry out the meas
ures they deemed necessary for the
ultimate vindioation or order. Their
refusal to burn the building of man
whom they would have hanged had
they caught him shows their self
control and conservatism. 1t is like
the Porteous mob, who, while drag
ging their victim through Edinburg
to his death, broke open store for
rope to hang him with, and left
the price Of the rope on the counter,
where the shopkeeper found it in the
morning.
1t is likely that Wilmington has
passed it's crisis. The government
is now in the hands of conservative
citizens, having the confidence of the
community. State troops have been
ordered to the scene, and if there is
any more shooting it will undoubted-
ly be done by authorized ministers
Of law.

Thanksgiving Proclamation.

Gov. Ellerbe has issned the fol-
lowing Thanksg wing proclamation:
TO the People Of South Carolina:
Greeting: BY virtue of the power
vested in me as Governor Of the Stat @
Of South Carolina. l hereby set
apart and appoint Thursday, the
Oath day of November, 1893, as a
day of Thanksgiving.
Upon that day it seems eminently
appropriate that the people should
refrain from their usual vocatlons
and assemble in their places of wor-
ship, to express their gratitude to
God for the blessings He has be stow,
cd and to invoke a continuance OF
His mercy and care.
And Htile thus giving evidence oI
their grateful feelings, lot them moi
be unmindful of those who have beer
less blessed-the needy and the dis
tressed.
In testimony thereof, I have hore
unto sat my hand and caused the
great seal of tho State 10 be affixed
at Columbia this f4th day of Novem
ber, 1898, and in the One Hundred
and Twenty second year of the In
dependence Of the United States ot

A Revolt OF Order.
Commercial Adyertisor.)

The best justification Of Whining
toms militant Caucasians is their
scrupulous observance of forms of
law. They temporarily suspended
law and order in order to maintain
law and order. But as soon as con.
troll of the city by it's good citizens
had been established with arms, it
was confirmed by tho machinery Of
law. The might Of public sentiment
compelled the distrusted CITY govern.
ment to resign, and in the method
provided by law successors were
elected from among the leaders of
the uprising. Yesterday there was
q legal city government, powerless
because discreoited, and mob, dis
ciplined, quiet and deliberate, but
still mob, to which alone life and
property could look for safety. Now
there is IN equally legal city govern
mont, elected and installed by strict,
ly constitutional forms, aud possess
ing both technical and actual power.
1t has replaced the mob with large
force of duly appointed and sworn
special officers, and while order will
be maintained in precisely the same
manner as before, the armed men
who now patrol the streets will have
legal right to fire on the disorderly.
The incident is notably Anglo
Saxon. 1t is like tho occasional up
risings of tho law abiding in mining
camps. When disorder and crime
become too prevalent tho whole com
munity rises and forms itsolf into
government for restoration Of order.
The tiresome old theory of the social
compact finds its only possible illus
tration in thoso uprisings I'll, Ia
