An object lesson occurred al Green
Vile recently. A negro named Lorenzo
Brown. was il jail under sentence Of
death for rape. the h!dious crime. His
day 10 die MAS the 9Th Of June. But
possibly the hanging will not come off
as he has escaped and is at large roam
ing and ready for another rape. LO-
reno, if caught, will probably comc TO
grief before the appointed 9Th prox.
This is another lesson Of the uncertain
" attending legal hanging for rape.
The Greenville Reflector from which
we gather the news of his fleeing, says
and it shows an example Of an unsafe
jail, many Of which may be found;
About dark that evening when
Policeman Kennedy went back 10 the
Jail Brown was gone. and a large hole
| in the northwest corner OF the brick
wall, about the same place where pre-
| vious escapes had been made, told the
tale. 1t is believed that the prisoners
had planned for the condemned man TO
escape and that they helped him TO cut
> through the wall and get away. None
; of the others attempted to get away,
/ as they were all serving only short
, term sentences.
Bad jails, bad criminal laws, bad
%juries, bad One-man power are all inim-
icaI to justice and favorable to viii
lains.

Wake Forest college is preparing for
an interesting commencement in May
from 22nd TO 18th. 1t has done excel
leDtly both in attendance and work
accomplished. Mr.. NJ. H. Justice, of
Rutherford, who is a lawyer Of good
talents, is to deliver the law address.
Hon. w. w. Kitchin, now in congress,
is to deliver the alumni address. Rev.
Mr.. Rust, a Kentucky baptist, is to
preach the annual sermon. Professor
Trent, of the Episcopal University of
the south, is to deliver the literary ad-
dress. He is an author and critic of
Tepute. He is by no means equal to
some of the critics in the north, but is
really a man of literary cleverness and
of decided opinions. We do not regard
him as a very safe leader of thought FOR
some of his judgments are eccentric as
those know who have had occasion to
read some of his critical deliverances.

Sir Walter SCOTT and HIS Pets.

The author who cared most for beasts
was Sir Walter Scott. 1t was better
not to be at Abbottsford when one of
the dogs died, said Miss Scott, for the
family was all in tears. When Camp,
his bull-terrier, died, Sir Walter de-
clined to dine out, because he had
lost a dear old friend
Mazda, his deerhound. was given to
him by the Highland chief. Glengarry.
and lived to a. great age. Mazda would
lie in his study, with his head in reach
of Scott's hand; when he wanted to
go out, he knocked with his tall Mean
while old Hins Of Hinsfeldt,, the great
gray cat, sat in the second place of
honor at the top Of the library lad
der. When Mazda went out, Hins came
down from the ladder. and took his
place In his absence.
There was also pack of greyhounds,
and every kind of terrier, and old Hins
would join in hunting a hare, If one
got up near the house. AT last MINI
rod, young, inconsiderate deerhound,
killed poor old Hins. in the excite
ment Of the chase. When Sir
Walter was very ill abroad, he always
wrote home for news of the dogs, and
they gathered round him fondly when
he came back to die. His poems and
novels, of course, are full of dogs and
horses. Andrew Lang, in Youths

Governments. If it were possible to
bring about a general disarmament or
even compulsory arbitration, it might
be we'll to consider these propositions
looking toward the alienation of the

long as men and nations will fight to
right fancied wrongs or in self-protec-

THE WHEAT OUTLOOK.
Santa Cruz Sentonel: The Covert
ment's June crop report shows that the
condition of winter wheat is only g.
in the East, indicating but two-thirds
of normal yield from the acreage
harvested In other words. with the
acreage practically the same as last
year, in the Atlantic States, the yield
of this class of grain promises to be
100000 bushels smaller than in
1898. But this is only part of the loss,
for more than 100000 acres seeded
to winter wheat last fall have been
plowed up because the crop was wholly
killed. AT an average yield of twelve
and half bushels to the acre this
represents an additional loss Of 10000.
OOO bushels. Very severe weather in
the latter part of last winter was re-
sponsible for some of this tremendous
destruction. But the loss from this
cause was supplemented by the work
OF chinch bugs and Hessian flies in the
central western region. Perhaps these
insects ate up anywhere from $10,0 OO..
600 to $20,OO0,O0O worth of wheat.
Spring wheat is in fair condition, and,
with the large acreage and the large
reserves, there is every prospect of a
supply ample for all domestic needs,
and furnishing an exportable surplua
Of l5O,OOO,000 bushels or more. But tho
damage to the winter grain will fall
hard on many localities. Kansas, for
example, will have only about third
of last years crop. and Illinois will
have only a handful. Upon the whole
then, there is nothing in the report
from the wheat-growing districts or
belts of the West to indicate high
price for the grain this fall or next
spring, simply because the surplus OF
spring wheat raised will make up the
shortage in winter wheat.

WILL PAY CASH.
Dividend of Fifty Per Cent.
to be Ready Monday.

South birmingham, Jan. 13.-No APP
peal having been entered before the
full bench Of the supreme court against
allowing the report of the receivers of
the birmingham savings bank, which
was decreed a month ago in the equity
session of the court, the receivers,
Messrs. Patrick H. Cooney and Arthur
V. Harrington, today decided to begin
Monday morning paying out the divi-
dend of 50 per cent which has accu-
mulated since the bank closed its doors
Feb. 2, 1898. The receivers have now an
hand about $450,000, and a month ago
they applied to the equity session for
permission to pay out that amount.
The report of the receivers was al
lowed by that bench, but as the law
gave the right to depositors to appeal
to the full bench Of the court, any time
within 80 days from the decree of the
equity bench, the receivers deemed it
prudent to not pay any money until
the 80 days limit had expired.
This was the last day, and no one
entering an appeal, the coast is clear
for the receivers to begin the pay
ment of the first dividend There are
in all about $500 depositors, scattered
all over the United States, England,
Ireland, France, Germany and Sweden.
1t is expected that the work will take
up several weeks time.

est child, about two years old, lighted a
piece of paper at the stove and threw
it on the bed where the other children
lay.
The bedclothes caught fire and were
burning rapidly when the little girl re-

smoke and Immediately took the child
