The proposed sale of the state
lands in the Arkansas valley, to
which so much objection is made,
takes on an entirely different as
pect if the terms arc reversed.
How many would advocate, if the
state school fund had S2l 900 cash
in hand, that the whole be inves-
ted in arid lands at SO an acre, in
the hope that at some future day
the irrigation of the land would
make it valuable? 1t would be
at once pointed out that the in
vestment was dangerous, that the
money would be tied up for an
indefinite period, and that the
state would remain at the mercy
of the owners of the Arkansas
river water rights. If the offer of
S2l 900 is refused for the seven
thousand acres of school land, the
schools have not only tied up that
amount of cash, but they have
tied up the land in arid useless
ness, and the state has lost the
-a,o,tla-e- who would hnvo heen nd
ding to its revenues. The fear
that the seller is not the only party
to deal that may realize profit
is what kills prosperity, and it is
this fear that is causing the pres
ent hesitation. Denver Republi-

The call of the meeting which

Florence cannot afford to lose
this extensive industry if by any

Orders for Maine Companies that Will Bring

men will be at work at Hurricane island,
and in the other quarries OF the state,
as a consequence than ever before,

The Booth Brothers & Hurricane Is

cane island, have already the contract
for three buildings at Annapolis, in
volving granite work that viii cost at
least $500. 900. Much of this stone Will
come from Waldoboro and Long cove
quarries.
The contract for the granite work
on the Charleston dry dock was Sc
cured by Sheehan & O'Brien of New
York, who own Clark's island in the
town OF ST. George and this means at
least $500, 900 worth Of granite work for
that vicinity. The contracts for the
Kittery dock are to be let soon, and
that work must come to Maine.

The Federal Courts and Lynchers.

A case of general interest and of
especial Importance to the South has
come up for trial this week in Charles
ton. s. G. Fifteen white citizens Of
Lake City. that state. will be tried for
theiIslives in the United States circuit
court sitting in Charleston on the
charge of killing Fraser B. Baker, the
negro postmaster OF Lake City. and his
infant child. under peculiarly abhor-
rent circumstances. The unusual ana
significant feature of this case is the
fact that the federal court goes into
the South for the first time on record,
il is said. to conduct a lynching trial.
The killing of Baker was one of the
most atrocious crimes recorded in even
the sanguinary annals of South Caro-
lima When Baker was appointed post
master an unsuccessful attempt was
made to assassinate him, and then, ac-
cording TO the testimony of two of the
lvnchers who have turned states evil
dence, band was formed and plan
arranged to put the postmaster out of
the way.
The lynchers about midnight of Feb
ruary p. 1898, proceeded. according TO
a programme agreed upon, to the post
office, and, while the mob waited near
the front door, two Of the number scat
tered shavings around the building,
which they sprinkled with kerosene. A
match was applied and the flimsy
wooden structure was envcloped in
fame. Baker. suddenly awakened.
struggled 10 save his eight children,
and as he opened the front door bull
let killed him. His Wife, with a baby
in arms. next appeared. and bullet
pierced the arm which held the infant
and killed the child. The remaining
children We're riddled with buckshot as
they ran out of the building, which,
with the mails ana all the effects of
the postofiice, the property of the Fed
efstl government, NdS tpNdiiS uf9ti'S td
by fire.
The United States courts assume
jurisdiction in the present instance, in
asmuch as the crime was committed
against federal officer on govern
ment property, and will press the case
with all possible vigor The state
courts We're given every opportunity to
bring the offenders to trial, but dis
played such apparent indifference and
made such poor Roadway that the Uni
ted States authorities stepped in. The
pOstoffiCe inspectors who worked up
the case were threatened with death
and warned to leave the state. but they
persisted in doing their duty, and are
reported to have made out such a
strong case that all that is required to
secure a conviction is a jury courage
Gus and honest enough to mete out
justice to the lynchers. 1t has long
been difficult task to convict a white
man in the South for the killing of a
negro, but here is q case where ordi-
nary intelligence should lead a citizen
OF South Carolina to do his duty. 1t is
not alone the lynchers who are on trial.
but the state and the civilization of the
South.

Mr.. II. NJ. Bean. the Well-known
shipping man of Camden, is an advo-
cate of the siXmasted schooner. 1t
has been thought that the five-master
marked the limit: but Mr.. Bean thinks
a siX-master would be easy to handle,
n fast Sailer, and money Garner. He
expects TO see just such vessel built
in his yard within two years. Such a
vessel would cost about $4,000. The
six maSts would be Of an equal length,
125 feet each and when all the canvas
was spread there would be about $4,000
square yards, or enough to clothe 2000
soldiers. In length she would be 325
feet over all, AZ feet in beam with a -
foot hold. Mr. Bean argues that if a
five-master can return some 20 per
cent. profit to her owners in a year. a
master. with larger tonnage run
ming under practically the same eX-
pense. would yield Il bigger percentage
of profit. AS shown by the records of
other schooners, there is a possibility
of her making 1SS trips year. thus
carrying $4,000 tons of coal. Averaging
20 cents per ton, trimming included,
the gross earnings for a year would be
500, 300, 20 per cent. on the original in
vestment. Mr.. Bean estimates the
total expense at $21, 500, having a profit
of $47 800, or over AZ per cent. Insur-
ance on vessels averages about seven
per cent. and there would be left a net
profit of better than 40 per cent. Some
of the Bath builders do not take so
rosy a view of the subject, and think
that the five-maSter is the limit for a
wooden vessel.
