Editor Morning News: Reading In
the Morning News an account of a re-
cent tragedy so near Savannah, It
seems a part of II, / realize that our
civilization is subjected to many him
ORANGES, and that these menace and en-
danger all that we hold essential to
progress.
The brutal crime of the negro at
Ways Station, his capture, his identi-
ficatien as the culprit. offer the usual
features; but the subsequent proceed
ings suggest need for protest by
those who hold civilization to be a
need.
No community can long endure the
strain of such outbreaks. The stoical
indifference of the negro under the ter
rible torture of burning alive, the de-
liberate act of the man who applied the
torch, the presence of an assembly of
citizens who by their presence virtually
approve the action, all of this indicates
how little we have changed since the
days when, in New England, men and
women Were burned as witches, or at
an ea~'ler period, when religious IA
matte ism found its expression in like
conduct; human nature has little
chanLed
1t seems the refinement of cruelty
when the man who has suffered so
grievous wrong is selected to perform
an act the memory of which must
haunt him through life, and through
all eternity; he should have been re-
strained and prevented. A few mad
men perform these acts and a commune
ity suffer under the stigma; and this
must continue until a more healthy
public sentiment is built up and pre-
walls.
There is need for the services of "A
Law and Order League" which shall
at all times and in all places enforce
the reign of law, no matter what be
the provocation to transgress. I do
not underrate the evil of the wander
ing. lustful negro; he is the menace
to all that is good; he must be reck-
oned with before, rather than after.
the crime; and thus must be largely
the work of his race. The crime must
cease or the negro cannot dwell among
us. When he observes the law. he
must be protected; when he trans
crosses he must be dealt with within
the limits of the law. Restrain and
punish all law breakers, even though
they chance to be "our best citizens"
In this way alone can we preserve our
best traditions.

AT GALVESTON.
So Far No Unusual Tides-Many Ves-
sells Feared for.


Galveston, Tex, Aug. 15.-The Gulf
storm, which has been reported by the
weather bureau since Wednesday, has
been watched closely here. The hurri-
cane signal is flying as a warning to
shipping, but the weather bureau since
morning has been emphatic that the
storm would strike inland to the east
of Galveston. The tide here tonight is
normal. The Mallory line steamer
Neuces, which was due from New York
on Wednesday, had not arrived this
evening.
The steamer Ceres left here on ASg.
S for Rotterdam with a cargo of wheat.
The steamer Alnmere, which left for
Havre with $4,000 bushels of wheat on
Aug. 9, may have encountered the
storm.
On Aug. 10 the steamer Penare left
for Havre with $4,000 bushels of wheat
and miscellaneous cargo; Enidwen
with 1875, 1867 bushels of wheat for Ant
werp and the Blodwen with 153,OO0
bushels of wheat for Rotterdam.
Two sailed on Aug. II. The Selma
with a full cargo of wheat for Ham
burg sailed in the morning and the
Harrison line steamer Orion with a full
general cargo for Liverpool sailed at
noon.
The steamers which sailed on the 10th
and 18th are almost certain to have en-
countered some portion Of the storm.

Considerable Damage to Water
Front, hut No Lives Lost.
Pensacola, Fla. Aug. 15.-The Gulf
storm, which has been raging at this
vicinity for the past two days seems
to have reached its highest point last
night, and the bay shore to-day pre-
scented a scene of much disorder.
The highest wind velocity is officially
given at thirty-eight miles, but it has
been from the south and caused un-
precedented high tides, injuring water
front property to a great extent.
The tracks of the steam dummy line
leading to the navy yard are submerg-
ed and render traffic impossible. The
bridge spanning a bayou 300 yards
wide is reported as having slightly
careened during the night and por-
ton of the track on the shore washed
away.
Several small vessels weathered the
storm and beyond having everything
movable carried away, no damage is
reported.
The schooner Tortugas. bound from
Mobile to Apalachicola, was towed to
the city last night, having on board
two men badly hurt, one of whom will
probably die. The men were caught by
a wild cable and thrown into the
water, being reached by the daring life
saving crew. No vessels can enter or
pass over the bar. Several are watt
ing for better weather outside, includ-
ing the first vessel of the new Pensa-
cola New York line.
The weather bureau has been in
structed to continue storm signals. No
lives are reported lost.

THE NEWS IN WILKES.
Big Manufacturing Plant to BE
Started Soon.


Started Soon.
Washington. Ca. Aug. 15.--Busy
scenes are witnessed at the plant of the
Southern Cotton Oil Company at this
place, where everything is being put
in readiness for the opening of the sea-
son. This is one of the largest and
costliest plants in the state. 1t was
recently purchased from Mr.. J. A. Ben
son for $4,000, and is considered one
of the most valuable pieces of property
in this section. ]. A. Benson, Jr., is
manager of the plant.
Arrangements have been completed
for connecting the local telephone sys-
tenn with the Bell long-distance sys-
tenn, which embraces the more import
ant towns and cities of the state. This
will bring to Washington much need
ed convenience. The two systems will
be connected within short time.
II now looks as if Wilkes county will
erect a new court house. The old build
ing which is now used as temple
of justice is inadequate for the de-
mands of the times, and 1t is now be-
lieved that a new court house will
soon take the place of the old one. The
present structure is one of the oldest
and most historic buildings in the
state, and for this reason there will
be found many who will do all they
can for it's preservation.

at the time. The intruder next went
to the room where some of the students
were sleeping. One of them CHANGED to

toothache, and saw the negro as he
turned the blinds. He describes him
as being a very light negro, or possibly
a white man. He reached to get re-

Rochester, Aug. 12.-Mrs. James Will
son returned from the Pan-American
to-day without a cent in her possession.
This is not nearly so unusual as the
fact that in place of the purse contain
ing $14, of which her pocket had been
picked. she found a diamond ring
worth $3.50.
Up to date Mrs. Wilson has not been
agitated with any wonderment as to
what she will do with the gem, as was
the heroine of DR.. Weir MitchelPs true
story of exactly the same happening,
"A Question of Conscience"
Mrs. Wilson discovered her contem-
poraneous loss and gain just after she
shad stepped from the Buffalo train and
has eaten a lunch in the station res

which is in evidence, for her purse, to
find it gone. He fingers were tickled
by some foreign object Brought to

stone that glittered bewilderingly.

she fought of the trick that had been
played upon her. The pickpocket. whom

was out of reach, must have been of
a jocular turn of mind, who believed

She might have thrown the ring away
If it had not appeared necessary as an
exhibit with the story she must tell the
restaurant man.
Mrs. Wilson said that in leaving the
Exposition grounds she took a belt
line car and was forced to share her
seat with a stylishly dressed young
man. When the train entered the Buff
falo yards it lurched over the numer-
Gus switches and at one time the
young man alongside her was thrown
across her. 1t appeared to be an acci-
dent. but Mrs. Wilson is certain that
then the young man picked her pocket
and that the accidental part of the
proceedings was the leaving of his ring
behind.
Mrs. Wilson. having no money, was
unable to continue her journey to
Bristol, near Rochester, and went to
the home of Some friends in this city.
Later the ring was submitted to a Jew
eller, who said it was easily worth
$3.50. Mrs. Wilson does not think so
bitterly of the pickpocket as when sh.
first discovered the loss of her purse.

ua l.. ChamberIain's Letter.
From the New Orleans Times-Demo-
crat.
1t is impossible for any American OF
the Southern states to read THESE
words of Gen. Chamberlain's and not
feel a peculiar sense of affection and
admiration for the great and good
men who directed the war from the
Federal side; who fought like tigers
and were ready to die without a MUIR
muir so long as the conflict lasted, and
who, when the struggle ended, were
as magnanimous and as gentle and as
considerable as they had been deter
mined and valiant. The more one re-
fleets upon the disposition and temper
and character of the really great ac-
tors on both sides, the more surely one
feels that our present union and our
fraternal relations were cemented not
by the postprandial speeches AMI
fiamboyant declarations of latter-day
politicians but by the men in Blue and
the men in Gray who met face to face
in the shock of battle. From Grant and
Lee all the way down to the private
in the ranks, there came at the close
of the war thoughts and words and
acts that insured beyond a shadow of
doubt the perpetuity of the 'indissolu-
bic union of indestructible states" On
that roll of honor luminous with Fed
eral and Confederate commanders, the
name of Gen. Joshua l.. Chamberlain
of Maine shines in undiminished
beauty

Brother of Com missioner Duggan
Not Worried by Teachers Attack.
Dublin, Ga, Aug. 15.-Dr. ]. H. Dug
gan of Stephensville, brother of Coun-
ty School Commissioner Paul Duggan,
against whom some of the teachers of
Wilkinson county have issued a very
salty circular, was in the city yester-
day. He states that the circular does
not represent the sentiment of the
teachers of Wilkinson county, and
that it originated with a few, the en-
tire number signing it being perhaps
not more than five. He has not seen
the circular, but thought IL was the
same that was introduced in the Teach
ers' Institute some time since.
DIR. Duggan said that he knew OF
no particular grievance against his
brother except that, since he had been
commissioner, he has been rather
strict in the examinations, refusing to
grant licenses to a number of teach
ers recently. He hardly thought the
Board of Education of Wilkinson
county would take any cognizance of
the action of the teachers.

much interested in the outcome of the
election to-day, at Townsville, fer

On Sept. an election will be held
to determine whether or not bonds will
be issued for the purpose of erecting
a new school building. 1t is not believ-
ed that single vote will be recorded
against the bond issue and the au-
thorities feel safe in making such pre-
liminary arrangements as will facili-
tate the work, and make 1t possible to
let the contract for the erection of the
building as soon as the formality OF
the election is over.

THE CANTALoUPE MUNcHAusEN.
Stories of His Exploits, ms They APP
peal to Others.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
A new type of romancer, the canta-
loupe Munchausen, has appeared in
Georgia. While some other fruits, many
vegetables, and nearly all cereals have
suffered from the partial drought, the
cantaloupe growers of Georgia declare
that they have increased their bank
accounts thousands of dollars from the
crop this year. One farmer living in
Albany marketed from 2OO-acre field
a crop of Rocky Ford cantaloupes that
brought him $4,000. The expense of
cultivating and marketing this crop
he puts at $4,000. leaving him $12, 900
ahead. Other persons with smaller
paintings have done quite as well pro-
portionately. One young man planted
a thirty-acre patch near Albany and
up to date he has marketed about L.
500 crates at prices ranging from $3.50
TO $3.50 crate. Growers could dispose
of their crop at good prices in their
fields without having to take chances
with the railroads and commission
men, such was the demand But those
who shipped TO reliable commission
houses on consignment Struck IL
rich" receiving for their crop not less
than 81 crate. A refrigerating car
holds 400 crates, 81, 900 a car, and there
is money In cantaloupes at 81 crate.
A car that brings $1,000 nets the grow
er more than $1,000. The spectators
have made huge profits, too. Buying
from the growers at prices ranging
from $3.50 to $3.50 per crate, they have
shipped to the Northern and Eastern
markets and sold for 81 and $3.50, thus
making large profits at small risk. One
New York man. with plenty OF ready
capital and good connections. is said
to have cleared about $25. 900 In two
weeks. There are many persons in
Georgia who have caught the "canta-
loupe fever" and 1t is predicted that
the acreage in one county next spring
will be ten times what II is now.
Undoubtedly 1901 has been a good
summer for cantaloupes as well as for
peaches, but IL the Georgia enthusiasts
do not curb their ardor OF exaggera-
ton they may expect to have their
statements discredited as naturally as
are the annual apprehensions of the
Delaware fruit growers. whose crop
fails" every year-and increases ev-
cry year, toe.
