cumulating stocks and December CLOS
ed with a loss of 1a@5sc. Corn de-
clined M@Ac, and oats 1sc. ProFl5-
ions were strong and unchanged to 10
@121ac higher.
Small Argentine shipments and high
er cables Notwithstanding the decline
here yesterday started wheat at frac-
tional advance over last nights close.
Shorts were apprehensiVe for the mo-
ment, because of some excitement IN
England over the Transya situation
and some covering resulted. Liquida-
ton on the bulge became SO excessive,
however that the demand was with
drawn and the market turned suddenly
weak. From that point until the end
the course was downward. Put figures
were reached without meeting any OPP
position, and this fact alone added i'm
petus to the selling movement. The
main factor of weakness was the rapid
increase in the domestic visible, the
indications being that an addition OF
over a million bushels would be made
during the week. Light clearances,
slow cash demand and the reported i'm
proved condition of winter wheat also
had a depressing effect December
opened 7s@Ac higher at 69@691sc, ad-
vanced to 69B@69Ac, declined to
6SAc, and closed at 68A @6Sasc Chi
cago received 1873 cars, % of which
were of graded contract. Minneapolis
and Duluth got 71S cars, compared with
SAB cars the same day last week, and
fol
primary receipts were 745,000 bushels,
against 1,444,000 bushels last year. At
lantic port clearances in wheat and
-four equalled 100000 bushels Argen-
tine shipments of wheat during the
week were $4,000 bushels, against l.
072,000 bushels week ago, and none
the corresponding week last year. The
crop outlook in that country was still
pronounced excellent with the indica-
tons that fully S0,000,000 bushels would
be available from this seasons yield
for export
Diminishing country offerings, owing
to continued weather strengthened
corn early. An advance of 12d at Liv-
erpool also encouraged buying, but the
market finally yielded under heavy
liquidation induced by poor cash de-
mand, and reports of a serious block
ade at Buffalo. The market, was active
throughout but closed weak at the bot
tom. December opened Ac higher at
31B931Ac, advanced to 31A@313sc
and declined to 3ossc at the close.
Oats followed other grains There
was no special feature to the trade,
however, prices ruling easy within
narrow limits. Receipts were light,
1872 cars, but this was Offset by slack
shipping demand. December opened
1sc higher at 225s@22%c, declined to
22ssc, and closed at 22ss @223sc.
Provisions were slow but firm. Lib
eral shipments and steady decrease in
stocks encouraged buying of ribs and
pork and substantial gains were scored.
Packers sold freely of lard, however,
January pork closed 1001212c higher
at $9.70@9.721s; January lard unchang-
ed at 1925 and January ribs 212@5c
higher at $4.95.
Estimated receipts for Saturday:
Wheat, las cars; corn, $40 cars; oats,
200 cars; hogs, $4,000 head.

Although visibly affected by his sur
rcundings and the suddenness of the
OCCASION DR.. Kunst did not fail TO i'm
press upon those present his full ap-
probation Of the many compliments
and kind expressions conveyed by Mr..
McGary. He said:
Mr.. McGary, Mr.. Cleary, Mr.. Malloy,
Ladies and Gentlemen:
1t is perhaps needless for me to say
that l am deeply sensible of this ex-
preston of your kindly consideration
for me, and / regret that cannot COM
mand language adequate to convey the
warmth of my gratitude. assure you,
however, that this beautiful and costly
present shall not alone be treasured for
its intrinsic value, but above all as a
token of friendship and the kindly re-
membranes of the associations which
have existed between us as officers and
employees of the w. Va. & p. r. r. Co.
My official connection with the road
has covered a period of more than IS
years, and [ see some here who have
served with me during the whole time;
others for several years, and still otn-
ers for less time.
For one and all of the officers and
employees of the w. Va & P. l shall
always entertain deep and lasting per-
sonal interest.
Whilst l have doubtless made mis-
takes in judgment, can ushesisatingly
say that l have never knowingly done
you an injustice, nor willingly allowed
any official to do you an injury.
We were one large happy family,
each having his particular part of the
household work--if such a smile is
permissible-to perform. | think you
performed your respective parts well.
In fact there were but few, if any, fam
lilies who lived together more peaceably
and tremendously. Never was there
congregated together in railroad SER
vice a more loyal and devoted set of
men. l always felt that I was sup
ported by men who took a personal In
terest in the success and welfare of the
company
Now that the road has become a
branch of a great trunk line, it has
been specially gratifying to me TO know
that the men of the w. Va. & p. bear
favorable comparison with their new
associates. | believe that they will
bear favorable comparison with the
very best men in like employment in
any railroad in this or any other coun-
try.

In a recent article on the origin Of
the Yosemite valley. Professor w. p.
Blake-a most adequate authority on
the subject-remarks that the gorge, SO
grand and impressive. is. in fact. only
a minor feature of the glacial workings
above 1t through hundreds of square
miles of the Sierra. Professor Blake
thinks that the ice must have filed the
gorge, and much above 1t. to a thick
ness of 5000 feet. and with pressure
upon the floor Of the valley Of 10000
pounds to the square foot; the tre-
mendous force Of such a weight. on the
under surface Of which was a broken
mass Of rock. like diamonds In drill.
grinding, planning and cutting. can
scarcely be imagined: for untold ages,
too, this mighty force was at work,
polishing the face Of the country
through which 1t passed.
The character of the Yosemite rock
being granite. close grained and verti.
cal In structure, with points Of easy
fracture. it would appear that. as the
great mass Of ice bore down upon this
vertical rock. 1t was broken and knock
ed over by the moving Ice. taking of
at the places of easy cleavage. Thus,
according to Professor Blake. the prec-
ipice was formed. and thus is explain
ed the dome shaped submits of the
mountains there.

sition to it under any other circum-
stances. He said to the jury that he
was opposed to the appointment of
Negroes to postofices in the south
but that he was opposed also to mob
law, arson and murder. Although he
was not a member of the convention
that framed the new constitution of the
state, he had hand in the prepara-
ton of the sections which effectually
disfranchised the Negro without say
ing so, and which declare against
lynching and make officers permitting
prisoners to be taken from custody re-
sponsible.
He referred, in addressing the jury,
to the bold assertion made when the
constitution of 1895 was adopted, that
it was the purpose of the white people
to take the ballot from the ignorant
blacks and establish white supremacy.
"And," he said, "white supremacy
means white responsibility" The
same convention enacted stringent laws
against lynching and mob violence,
holding the counties responsible in
damages to the representatives of per-
sons lynched. This, Mr.. Barber says,
is the sentiment of the enlightened
and intelligent people of South Caro-
lima; but its permeation of the entire
community is slow. The new consti-
tuition having been put into effect, the
white people of South Carolina were
committed in their fundamental law,
he said to the jury, to oppose lynch
ing.
II am sorry for our state," he said,
'that this blot is upon her. Mob law
is sapping the wealth of the state and
running most of our investments and
robbing US of the social and moral po-
sition to which the south is entitled.
1t must be stopped; if we cannot stop
it, then close the doors of the schools,
make bonfres of the textbooks, tear
down the spires of the churches and
admit that Anglo-Saxon civilization in
the south is failure"
But only five of the jurors were
ready to take the responsibility of pro-
nouncing against white men who had
lynched black men. The jurors were
drawn from different sections of the
state.

In the prosecution by the United
States authorities of 8 men out Of l3
who were indicted for the lynching of
Frazer B. Baker, the Negro postmaster
of Lake City, S. c., the department OF
justice employed with others, William
A. Barber, now of this city, and for
merly attorney general of South Caro-
lima. The trial was conducted at
Charleston, S. c., last week, ending on
Saturday with disagreement OF the
Jury and a consequent record of mis-
trial. Mr.. Barber returned to the city
yesterday and expressed himself as
satisfied that even disagreement OF
the Jury instanced the progress of en-
lightened sentiment in the state, since
little but a verdict of acquittal could
have been looked for in such case.
The Jurors were, of course, all white
men, and five of them, and these five
the most enlightened and best educated
of all, stood out for conviction for 22
hours.
The facts of the shooting of Baker
and some members of his family as
they fled from their house, which had
been set afre, in February, 1898, are
fresh in everyone's memory.
Of the 13 men who were indicted
for the crime, the two who confessed
received promises of immunity, and as
one of them, who was the only witness
against three of the others, was declar-
ed incompetent, having been convicted
of crime, the case as against those
three men was nullified and prosecu-
ton of the eight went on.
Mr.. Barber avows frankly his belief
in lynching for crimes of violence
against women ; but declares his oppo-

A BAD NEGRO IN SALUDA.
He CIrculates a False Report About His

He Circulates a False Report About His
Own People.
To the Editor Of the News and Courier:
see a report in The Sunday News
that there is ."murderous plot" at
Richardsonville among the colored peo-
pie to kill white men and burn their
homes, and that they are led by the
Rev. Peterson, the pastor. 1 suppose
some Negro is the author of the false
report. Some one who is opposed to
the Rev. w. M. Peterson as pastor has
adopted that plan to get rid of the
Rev. Peterson. / know the Rev. Pc
terson we'll. He lives at Chora, Edge
field county, and is pastor of four Bap-
tist churches. He is one of the best
men in the state. He is a Christian
gentleman. know the colored peo-
Die of that section. They are well-to-
do farmers and are law-abiding. They
bought 40 acres of land for the pur-
pose of starting a school, and they SIM
ply organized an educational Socie-
ty," and that is all the society they
have, except a "secret society,"" called
"The Wise Men of the East" which
one Rev. Bowen is organizing in South
Carolina and that section, which is
similar TO the Odd Fellows society.
The Rev. Bowen has church near
Saluda, and 1 suppose he is putting in
some work there. But even he is not
plotting against the whites. am op-
posed to bis society, for see no real
good in it; but he has nothing in his
bylaws for the intimidation of the
white people.
To show that there is no truth in the
report I note the following false state.
ment: ut is said that the Negro
preacher, who preceded Peterson, was
told that he would be retained as pas
tor if he would sign certain pledge {:
he refused to take the pledge and was
dismissed" The former pastor was
the Rev. S. A. Nearly, who died last
October. The Rev. Peterson was call
ed after the death of the Rev. Nearly.
AS 1 write I am not very far from the
"Richardsonville section," and l had
a talk with one of the most prominent
and leading colored men, who is a
member of the church at Richardson
vile. The Negro that circulated this
false report should keep an eye on that
man. The colored people are busy in
the fields, and are only plotting to
make a living and educate their chill
