Some items of Interest About
Shamrock II-Starters for
Withers Stakes.

According to the latest news from
Southampton, England, the broken gaff
of the Shamrock II was sent ashore for
repairs Immediately after the accident,
and the effort was put forth for re-
sumption of the trials. The telescoping
topmast is already giving trouble. 1t
was sent down for re-setting and now it
is impossible to get it hoisted full up.
Some gear must be cut adrift before it
can be put right.
a heavier gaff was ordered from the
Dennys before the accident, but it has
not yet arrived
The London Field in its issue of
May IL refrains from criticism on the
performances of Shamrock II, which, 1t
says, have been merely sail-stretching
and should be regarded as tests. The
Field praises the faultless manner
In which she opens and leaves the wa
tiers, declaring that any adverse criticism
as 10 her wave-making should be dis
missed as worthless.
Although the ex-challenger appears to
be faster than when she met the Column

OF proving that she is faster, as she Is

to estimate the difference in speed be-

LIvlNesroN,s WARNING.

From the Macon News. The recent utterance of Congressman
 Livingston of Georgia with regard to the
 disfranchlsement of the negro, should be
 needed. He said i've are getting along
 nicely with the negro in Georgia" This is true. The News has hitherto caller at-
 tention to the fact that whereas other
 Southern States may have troubles with regard to the negro vote, Georgia has had
 none though there has been no disfran- chising law. We have plans of election that up to this time have maintained white supremacy and through strictly le- gal methods. The members of the Ala bama Constitutional Convention would dc
 we'll to investigate the situation in Geor- gia, during the course of their deibera- tions.
 Colonel Livingston's intimation that the states which have adopted the disqualify-
 ing provisions may see the time when
 Congress may undertake to reduce repre- sentation, and thereby revive some of the
 issues of the civil war, is worthy of spe-
 cial consideration, as Colonel Livingston speaks with high degree of responsi- bility. There is no Southern man in Congress today who is supported by a more loyal constituency than he. He is among the foremost on the Democratic side of the house and represents as he has long represented, the capital district of his States and he has always followed his party's flag. The warnings of such a statesman should be needed.

HOW LovELYl

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
 After the ceremony of receiving the delegates of the New York Chamber of Commerce at the Mansion House the Lord Mayor of London went to MT. An drew Carnegie and said he especially wanted to shake hands with him. Mir Carnegie said: "In New York, in my young and poor days. when read about Dick Wilmington, little thought should stand here shaking the Lord Mayors hand.' How lovely. These little mutual admiration societies are so en- gazing. At the time of this great recep- tion when some seventy-five millions of Americans were at home attending to their own business, and indifferent to what few tourists were eating and saying, MT. Carnegie and the people around him felt, though that they were shaping the destinies of two great coun- tries. If King Edward should condescend to hunt Andy in crowd for the purpose of shaking hands with him this half baked American would demand tn t the President issue a call for one hu lred thousand troops to serve. say three sears. or during the South African war.

MAY HIS TRIBE INCREASE,

From the Knoxville Sentinel.
 If there were few more sheriffs like Joseph Merrill of Carrollton. Ga, there would be no more lynchings. All that has been needed to stop the mob has been a determined man. Merrill is one of the few officers who has kept his oath of office. It does not make his act any the less noble because 1t saved for the time being the life of black brute. who probably deserved thousand deaths. It was unfortunate that in pre- venting a subversion of the law the blood of excellent citizens was shed. But when a man joins a mob he puts himself outside the pale of civilization. He has become for the time being a savage. He has reverted to the barbaric stage. The difference between civilization and sav- agery is in the orderly conduct of com munities in the former according to written laws established by citizens who are members of the community. This Georgia sheriff should have a monument erected in his honor. What he has done will no doubt be lesson in all the coun- ties of the south. When a mob knows that such determined man Is on guard it will be in no haste to dip it's fingers in blood

Do Not Fear the People.

The people trusted the convention, now let the convention trust the peo- pie. There is too much distrust of the people in the convention, altogether too much. The people are always to be trusted, for they always do what is best and just and right. No matter how they may reason matter out to conclusion, or how they ascertain the truth, yet all experience in this country shows that the people alone can be trusted to do justice, to act wisely, and to choose the least of two evils. Trust them.
 The convention should go ahead fear lessly and make good constitution. Let them do what to themselves seem eth best, and leave the rest to the peo- pie. A panicky feeling over the action of the people is uncalled for. There was an inclination to let the old worn- out constitution stand while longer, but now that a convention has been called at considerable expense there are no longer any grounds for fearing that the peoplel will not act wisely. They certainly will. Let the conven- tion do it's full duty, and the people will do likewise.
 The fiy-up-the-creeks in the conven- tion who jump up to say that their counties will do so and so should not be listened to. Either they do not understand the temper of the people, or they are substituting their own small selves for the people. It would be good rule to cough down any man who holds up his county as an aveng- ing angel. It is safe to assume that he has something up his sleeve, and that the county he misrepresents will ao, as all other counties will do, on election day. No man in the conven- tion carries a county in his pocket, and the work of the convention will be judged as a whole at the polls. No particular feature will be controlling. The people will ask themselves be- fore voting, Is this constitution as whole better than the old constitution? Will it give Alabama more room to grow in? Is 1t progressive, reasonable and trustworthy? The fads of the lit tie fellows will be overlooked in de- sire to get a better organic law, and this Is what the convention should make--a better organic law. Give the State constitution they can live and prosper under, and have no fear then as to it's ratification. The people can and always should be trusted.

Isolation of Granddaddy States,

In discussing the fifteenth amend ment the Philadelphia Times, an inde- pendent Democratic paper, controlled by a Southern man, says:
 It is an important constitutional ques- tion, which, in the interest of both North and South, and of the white man as well as the negro, should be made the subject of an opioin from the Supreme bench Certainly, if the negroes are to be ex- cluded, the constitutional penalty of pro- portionately decreased representation in Congress and the electoral vote will nec- essarily be brought to test.
 If the negroes are excluded by a transparent granddaddy or understand ing clause. it should be understood that the South will have no friends in the northern States who will stand up and say that representation based on an excluded race is just and right. And especially will this be the case if a Supreme Court decision is at hand to fall back upon, and probably will be-, if it is needed in the business of the Republican party. If Alabama em- braces either of the clauses in ques- tion, or any scheme of registration that permits discrimination at the dis cretion of registrars, she must expect to part with nearly half of her repre- Isentation in Congress and in the cleo <afesal college. And this would be an attack upon an Open Warrior and upon many other subjects very essential to t.-e welfare of the State.
 It is not necessary to say just when the Republican party will present the h.teenth amendment as an issue, and call for it's enforcement It is enough to know that no one in the North will be willing to stand up against such an issue when it does come. Representa- tion based on an excluded race could not be maintained before any Northern constituency. This fact should be thoroughly assimilated. It is beyond question that -as handful of Southern States would stand isolated when such an issue is raised. Alabama should not become one of that handful.

TIMELY WARNING.

From the Louisville Courler-Journal
 Ex-Gov. Thomas G. Jones of Alabama has published through the Montgomery Advertiser timely and forcible warning to those extremists of his State who, in attempting to solve the suffrage problem, would embark upon a programme of null lfication by boldly defying the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments to the Consti- tuition. Such course would be the height of follyand 1t would be inevitably abor- tive. It would necessarily fail in accom- plshing the end in view and 1t would as certainly react most disastrously upon the material and political interests of the State. It Is almost inconceivable that cause for such a warning as Governor Jones so we'll sounds should have been given in any quarter at this advanced pe- riod of our history.

SMALL BOY HURT.
He Was Leaning In Elevator Shaft
 When Struck by Weight.

Demopolis, June 12.-(SpeciaD.- Simon, the 9-year-old son of M. M. May
 CT, senior member of the firm of Mayer Bros, met with a very painful accident yesterday morning about 10:S0 o'clock. Mayer Bros. occupy a three-story build ing and in this building Is an elevator, run by water power. Simon was on the sec ond floor leaning on the railing watching the elevator ascend perfectly unconscious of the fact that from above a ponderous weight was slowly descending upon him. His head was caught between the weight and the railing, and the edge of the rail- ing being rather sharp, tore the flesh from the tawbone on one side and mak- ing ugly cut on the other. pr. A, B. Stone was summoned and dressed the wound, taking several stitches. He says the in- jury is not of dangerous nature and in few days the boy will be all right. Sew eral of the employees were near by att tending to their various duties, but pay ing no particular attention to the move ments of the little fellow, when sudden ly they were attracted by noise and, looking around, found the little fellow caught as above described. MT Dick Crenshaw and MT. Jonas being near. grab- bed the rope and stopped the elevator in- stantly.

Southern Industrial Convention.

The fourth convention of the South ern Industrial Association is now com pleting a four days session in Philadel- phia. Heretofore it's conventions have been held In the South, but the present convention meets in one of the chief manufacturing cities of the North.
 The keynote of the convention is a better knowledge by one section of the other. "If," said L. o. 0. Lamar. "the people North and South knew and understood each other better, they would love each other more." This is the work of the convention, and as this is an industrial and commercial gathering the mutual knowledge to be gained and imparted is to be of prao- tical nature. Yesterday one speaker from each Southern State presented the resources and opportunities of his State, and then the cities of the South in five-minute speeches presented their claims to public favor.
 The truth Is, Philadelphia and other Northern cities want trade as much as the South wants additional capital, and the convention is a clearing house of an argumentative sort. While one side asks for trade, the other will seek for capital, and both, let us hope, will be benefited.
 Among the subjects that will be dis cussed today, Iron and Steel Manu- facture Tn the South" will be promi- nent, and Birmingham will be heard from. Let us hope, too, the Warrior River will be represented, for an Open Warrior is as essential to the iron and steel and coal of the South as an Open Monongahela is to like industries of the North The Monongahela was opened long ago even to the mountains of West Virginia, and it is hoped that the opening of the Warrior will not be unduly delayed, even if we have no Quays or Camerons to press 1t in Re- publican Congresses.
 The convention will adjourn tomor- row, and all indications point to a meeting of more than usual interest. If the next convention should be held in the South let us hope every North ern State and city will be represented in if

Cotton Acreage and Condition.

The Financial Chronicle of June 8 reviews with its customary care the cotton situation, it's information com ing from many trustworthy sources. In the first place, it does not believe the acreage has been increased to as great extent as the government re- . ports show As cotton went down from 10 cents to about cents before crops were pitched the inducement was lack irx for the anticipated acreage. A declining market Is not favorable to an unprecedented acreage. The Chron- icle is inclined to think the increase in acreage will not exceed per cent, or just about the customary increase. It puts the entire acreage at 25,S6S, ,691 against 24,625,944 last year. The in- crease in Alabama is put at per cent, bringing the land devoted to cotton in this State up to 3,449,751 acres. Only Texas and Georgia outrank Alabama in
 
 this respect, with Mississippi close competitor
 Despite the backwardness of the crop, there is still room for an enorm- ous crop under favorable weather con ditions. In 1897 and 1898 from 23,000,- 900 acres over eleven million bales were gathered in each year. There are now 26,OOO,O0O acres in cotton. These additional acres would under like favorable conditions of weather carry the crop to 12.000,000 bales at least. Such possibilities exist. But many things are lacking this year. The valley lands were not fertilized by great floods. The spring was cold and late, and the stands are irregular. In some sections, too, there was an April drought that extended into May. The shipments of fertilizers have not been excessive. The shipments from Charles ton were this year 4O6,547 tons, against ,13S tons in 1898. While there is a possibility of great crop, yet there is no probability of production that will stagger consumption.
 Droughts, wet weather and low tenn perature have each affected germina- ton. and the crop is today extremely Backward. The spring was unfavor-

GRONNERUD ASSIGNS.
Was Large stockiioIder In Several
 Banks and Corporations.

St. Paul, June 12.-A special from Olivia, Minn., says:
 Hans Gronnerud, who was supposed to be worth $260.000. has failed with reported liabilities of $125,000, and seemingly no assets For many years he had been the owner of the Bank of Beaver Falls, and heavy stock holder in the Morton bank and State bank of Olivia and the Renville County Abstract Company, and has been engaged in loaning trust funds for Wisconsin and Eastern parties, as well as many other people. The Bank of Beaver Falls has closed it's doors and de- positors are clamoring for their money. Widows, hired girls, farm hands and farmers are numerous among the deposi- tors.
 All the realities in the name of Gron- nerud are said to have been transferred some time ago to D. D. Cheny, an asso- ciate. Gronnerud left here some time ago. saving he was going to the springs for his health. His friends cannot understand what brought about his final reverses

IN TENN ESSEE.

From the Knoxville Sentinel
 The term of Tennessees senior Sena- tor expires March A. 1903. It is sometime off, but four figures loom up on the hori- zon to be considered as successor. We name them alphabetically: William B. Bate, Benton McMillin, James D. Rich ardson and Robert l.. Taylor, The candi- dacy of the first will be largely condi- tional on the question of his health. The candidacy of the second will be largely conditional on what happens in Tennes- see politics between now and the time of the election.
 The candidacy of the third will de- pend on national politics. to-wit wheth- CT or not the House of Representatives is Democratic or Republican. If it is Dem- ocratic, MT. Richardson will be speaker, which position and not the Senatorship Is his ambition. The candidacy of the fourth will depend on the temper of the masses of Tennessee voters.
