THE OTHER SIDE OF THE
PICTURE.

Special TO The STATE.

Special TO The STATE.
Edgcticld, March IS. The race
riot at this place which occurred
ON last Saturday night seems now
to shave subsidized. Both whites
and blacks implicated in the af>
fair are quietly following their
customary vUcatio:S.
The dispatch which appeared in
lhe State of Yesterday was writ,
ten hurriedly aud ouiy presented
one side of the case. It now seems
from statements made by reliable
citizens of this place that the ats
tack was premeditated on the part
OF the negroes and that the whites
who were engaged in the riot act
ed solely in self defense.
The testimony at the inouest
shows that three pistol shots were
fired into the whites before they
replied at all. Then perfect
fuIiSade followed. One of the
wounded darkieS, Wilkes BaIlen>
tine, ran about 200 yards before
he fell, and he hid his pistol lust
inside a plank fence beside which
he lay. Two freshly fired cham-
bers were found in same.
Another pistol with three fresh
Iy fired chambers, together with
IN empty whlskey bottle were
found on the spot where the ner
roes opened the trouble by dep~
uty marshal. 1t seems also that
the whole party of darkics were
armed, with one or two exceptions.
and that there was about IS in
the crowd, opposed by five or six
whites.
Arthur Townsend, the negro
who caused all the trouble, seems
to have organized the party of
negroes. He is a worthless loafer
about the town and regarded as
extremely insolent He cursed
several factory employees rs being
low down "white trash,n which
of course inccnsed the latter.
They told him they would see him
later and Townsend replied that
"By Cd will attend to YOU
LATER" This remark was made
TO two very young operatives,
who are now in knee pants, and
admitted by Townsend himself.
" NhcC it was learned that this
negro had organized a mob to .as~
Sist him, older men accompanied
the boys to see that they were not
harmed when they came up town
to make purchases for their par
cnts. The negroes followed the
whites toward the factory and
when they met the riot occurred.
Several prominent whites heard
threats by the negroes as they
started for Cotton Mill row, as it
is called. Three negroes in the
crowd have made anidavIts that
they went there expecting trouble.
Mcssrs. Croft d Tilman will ON
next Monday apply for bail for
the defendants.

parable III Importance to the original
invention of electric telegraphy itself.
Wireless telegraphy is an infant as
yet, but one whose growth promises
20 be as vigorous as that of its elder
sister. 1T was six years after Morse
opened his modest fcrty-mile line be-
tween Washington and Baltimore be-
fore messages were sent bv cable
across the English Channel. Marconi
stands now where Morse stood fifty
years ago, and fifty years hence our
present network of wires may be as
obsolete as the semaphore.
Marconi asserts that the distance to
to which he can send his signals through
the air increases as the square of the
height of his conductors. From n
tower eighty feet high he can telegraph
ciRhtt miles. If his rule holds good
for all heights and all distances it
sholld be easy to telegraph from the
Syndicate Building in Park Row to
the Bunker Hill Monument i'm Boston
or the Washington Monument Mt Wash
iugtou, and if we had the mate TO the
Eiffel Tower, it should be possible to
send messages across the Atlantic.
% There Is danger for telegraph monop-
olies in such prospects At any rate
the new system will certainly be of
immense service in many directions.
It will enable ships approaching each
other in n fog TO get in communication
while they are twenty miles apart: it
will give the commander of fleet Of
scouts the power TO scatter his vessels

NOVEL REASON FOR STRIKES.
Glassworkers May BE Incited to Labor
AGitations by Planetary Influences.

Periodical strikes made by juvenile
employees of the glass factories of In
diana and Pennsylvania have caused
an investigation by the manufacturers
to ascertain causes, with the intention
of devisiug some means of putting
check to them.
Each spring nearly every Glass fac
tory in America is shut down tenn
Porarily as result of boys quitting
work for some niiti-r grievance. Never
have the employees of two factories III
the same locality joined in their de
mands. Recently three factories of
Muncie were closed as result of boys
quitting work aud all were making
different claims rs TO the cause. Ono
company operates two factories il
Muncie. Ind. The boys Mt one con
Germ went out because twelve colored
boys were given employment. These
colored boys had been working in the
factory aud with the strikers for two
years. and this was the first complaint
from this score. An effort WAS made
TO get boys of the other factory to joiu
the strikers in their demands that the
objectionable employees be discharged.
This the others refused to do, but the
following week they quit work for an
increase in salary. All the boys re-
turned to work in n few days without
having gained the object of their
strikes.
These actions cause a loss of thou
sands of dollars to all concerned
They more often occur at season
when factories are rushed with orders,
and although companies are rarely
compelled to concede TO the demands,
they are thrown out of several DAYS
work.
In his report to the Governor. DR.
b. Frank Schmidt, of the Indiana
State Labor Commission, dwells mt
length upon the causes of these
strikes. He thinks they are due to
the same causes as are financial de-
pressions and epidemics of disease.
He argues that the weather is in
huenced by planetary changes and he
asks why these changes have not an
influence In setting at unrest the
laborer?
"The opening of warm weather."
he says, probably has a great deal to
do with making men unrestful and
dissatisfied. The impetus is rarely
started by any one man, brt all seem
to have arrived at the same state.
When they have had time to recon
slider their actions, n great many re-
turn to work without urging their de
mands further. The planetary in
tiuences have spent their force and
there is no longer any danger of their
quitting until they are again so af-
fected. "

The wood For CarrIngc nulldIng.

The large carriage builders are so
particular in their selection of forest
ash, whitewood, and second growth
hickory that they take nobody's word
for it except their agents, who go out
into the forest and select their own
trees, and have them cut under their
supervision. Then the wood has to
be seasoned and cured according to
certain methods that have long OBJ
tanned in the trade. There are Ger
tain timbermen who have earned the
reputation of carefully selecting their
wood while growing, and these are
trusted by certain established houses
who make fine carriages and wagons.
The Importance OF this selection ia
manifest in other ways In order TO
secure the best timber for carriages.
and incidentally for wooden bicycle
rims, the trees must be cut just at the
time of their maturity, when the wood
solidiiies. This point is kept we'll in
mind by the woodsman who selects
the trees. The first test the expert
applies is that of examining the bark.
By the appearance of the bark he can
tell whether the tree is still growing,
whether it is just ripening, or if it is
at n standstiil or decaying. The lat
ter has to be avoided particularly.
After a tree reaches maturity it soon
goes into it's dotage, and decay fol-
lows. It's timber is then of little use
to the carriage builders. The bark
test is something that cannot be com
municated to another. 1t consists in
examining the color, the rings, and
the general roughness of the outside.
and the sapPy condition of the inside.
One must learn from long experience
to determine the condition of tree by
the bark. -Scientific American.
