The hopes of the vile ~conspirators
against Capt. Dreyfus are now based
upon the fact that some of the gang
have gone to their reward beyond this
sad world of oppression and wicked
ness. If the conspirators living could
be prosecuted, convicted and hanged
it would be most richly deserved retri-
butive justice.
1t begins to ook very threatening in
Manila for the future of the alleged
republic. France is only fitted for a
strong monarchy, with an able soldier
at the head, and a big army at his
back. The present republic is a bold
faced fraud.
1t looks as if the British Government
would force a fight in the Transvaal.
It is a great empire that is always con
Quering, and, therefore, always at war
or just escaping for war. 1t is no past

Kitchner,s Tribute Ia America

Cairo, August 27.-In the course of
his speech yesterday at the opening Of
the Atbara bridge, which was ON
structed by a Philadelphia firm, after
competition with British firms for the
contract, the sirdar, Lord Kitchener, Of
Khartoum, said:
THE construction Of this magnii-
cent bridge, l think, may fairly be con-
sidered a record achievement. So far
as the failure of the efforts to place the
construction order in England is con-
cerned, l think it demonstrates that
the relations between labor and capt.
tai there are not sufficient to give con-
idence to the capitalist and to induce
him to take the risk of establishing
up-to-date workshops that would enable
Great Britain to maintain her position
as the first constructing nation in the
world.
But, as Englishmen failed, / am de-
lighted that our cousins across the At
lantic stepped in. This bridge is due
to their energy, ability, and. power to
turn out works of magnitude in less
time than anybody else. 1 congratu-
late the Americans On their success in
the erection of a bridge in the heart
of Africa. They have shown real grit
far from home, in the hottest month
of the year, and depending upon the la
Dor OF foreigners"

Some weeks g We saw a statement
in a paper that the Presbyterian church
had lost ground in New York city in
numbers. From the official figures Just
published and prepared by the stated
clerk of the general assembly, Rev. DR..
W. H. Roberts It seems that the less is
all about the north The figures show.
as We learn from the New York. Times,
the growth in commandments for sever
al years: 1894, 4O,9OS; 1895, 2 1907;
1896. 20.s02; 1897. 1875, 1898, 1896;
1899, 5000.
The number of baptisms also show q
rapid decrease. In 1894 there were
56,263, while in the last year they were
80, $50.
Last year and this there appear the
totals of dismissed and dropped, but
these do not appear for previous years.
The number of these exceeds $4,000 a
year. While the net increase for 1898,
was 5000, it was only about one fifth
the increase OF 1894. There are 1872
ministers, and log count 10 each Of
these. In the south they do much be-
ter we suppose.

Georgia is certainly very %unfdrtun-
ate. A great, progressive state it is
sOrely afflicted with a turbulent, saw
age negro element i'm some sections.
The great mass Of the negroes in
Georgia are doubtless as we'll behaved
as in any state. But there is a large
aggressive and lawless element among
them to deal with. The scene now In
Mcintosh and Liberty counties is a
sad one, because it is a menace to the
whites and a disturber of a whole
state. 1t certainly adds to the force Of
the contention now urged by 70 many
white men CT intelligence, that the x
odus Of the negro race is a necessity.
Spasmodic outbreaks every week or
two precipitate a wider and more dan
gerous collision that will amount to &C
tual war, and then it becomes more and
more a war of not only victory, COM
plete and permanent, but one of exter-
mination. This is to be dreaded deep
ly, and, if possible, to be avoided.
The rapidity with which white troops
were sent to the scene of the negro re-
bellion, and the h%eartiness and swift
ness that marked the voluntary action
of white armed men ought to teach
even the most violent negroes that If
they get UP a disturbance they will be
quickly suppressed, and if they invite
a conflict in defiance of authority, and
bring on a war of wider proportions
than a mere local emeute that they will
be overwhelmed if not destroyed.
In the section of the threatened on
ffict the negroes preponduate vastly,
are five to one in numbers. But how
quickly they found they were butting
against a stone wall. Probably the
storm will blow over leaving no wreck
age behind and no dead and wounded
victims. So be it. Georgia a deal
with mobs easier than it can with wan
dering, lustful beasts who seek to muir
der and despoil and rape.
1t is noticeable that one negro COM
pany offered it's services to the govern
or to quell the disturbance, but it was
declined as there was no need for it.
The better class of negroes are just as
much involved as the whites in the sup
preston of mobs and the ending Of
rapes. The absolute peace Of society
is involved in the good behavior of all
blacks. negro boys included, some Of
whom are quite as devilish and law
lessly inclined, as the bad older ones
are.

Yesterday James Edwin Lanier, the
smallest man in this state and one OF
the smallest in the United States, SUI
fered a serious injury here. He was
playing in a fire engine house and
leaped TO catch a brass pole and slide
down 1t. missed IL and struck the floor.
He was found lying in q pool Of blood
and unconscious. He had evidently
struck against a projecting angle OF a
window. This. while infiicting a dan
gerous wound. saved him from death.
Lanier is Is years old, his height is
thirty-eight inches and his weight for
ty-seven pounds. He was born at Bur-
lington. Alamance county. His parents
are OF the average size. His sister,
four years younger than he. is as small
in statue and weight. All the dime
museum people in the country knew OF
these dwarfs and have for years en-
deavored to induce them TO go on the
roads, but to no purpose.

The business outlook here is regarded
as very satisfactory indeed. There are
fewer people unemployed than ever
before. The local tobacco market is
not given proper attention. Less to-
bacco is now sold here than was sold
fifteen years ago, when the first sales
were made. Lack of capital and energy
is the cause.
