To Get Up Collars and cuffs

Prepare some good cold water starch
by mixing smoothly about two table
~spoonfuls of starch with rather more
than half a pint of cold water. Add TO
this a t~easpoonful of powder borax dis
solved in q little hot water. Stir a piece
OF yellow soap in the starch water until
it becomes "a when the piece Of
soap must be removed. This will help
to prevent the starched linen from
sticking to the hot iron.
The articles TO be starched must be
perfectly clear and drv before they are
put into the starch. Dip them and rub
them vigorously in the starch, SO that
1t penctrates them thoroughly. Take
them out. squeeze them to remove ex-
cess of moisture and roll them up sep
arately and tightly in a clean cloth or
towel. Leave them for about two hours.
When ready to iron them. rub both
sides of the articles with a clean. dry
cloth to remove any grains of borax or
starch remaining on their outer por-
tions. Iron first on the wrong side and
finish of on the right, using firm. steady
pressure. Dry before q bright fire until
all are perfectly stiff.

THE SWAMP LANDS SUIT
A Compromise lad and Case Settled.
Improvement of A. & n. c. Railroad
Especial to the Messenger.)


Raleigh, N. c., September 24.-The
case involving the option on states
swamp lands did not go before Judge
Robinson under mandamus proceed
ings, but compromised in the govern
or's Office by the state board of edu-
cation and the attorney for X. S. Finch.
The latter surrender his option on
all the lands. upon condition that the
board sign deeds for two lots of land
he has sold in Tyrell of 1900 and 2,700
acres respectively, and permits him to
sell $500 acres more in Tyrell lands,
provided he does so and tenders the
money before February next, when his
option expires. This settles the case
and a non suit is taken.
The report made on the condition of
the Atlantic and North Carolina rail-
way today by the state board of inter
nal improvements says the physical
condition is good, with many improve
ments; shops are greatly enlarged,
several new warehouses have been
built: the track is better; the financial
status is now good; the debt incurred
for much needed improvements is be-
ing paid Off There is large increase in
receipts; the total two years ago was
$1S7, 600; this ear it is $240, 900.
The board of internal improvements
elected the following directors of this
railway: Chas. NJ. Busbee, Raleigh: w.

confines its operations to two deadly,
most internal crimes-rape and murder
A short trial in the woods" a quick
end follow when brutes who rape and
murder are overhauled. In 1892 there
were 236 lynchings reported-the high
est. There were 200 in 1893, 1S9 in 1894,
and to 107 in 1899. In 1900 there were
lis. and in the first nine months Of 1901
there have already been 101- OF these
victims of the present year, 76 were
colored. % white. 1 Chinese, and one
an Indian. Only "a were murdered be-
cause of a charge Of rape, and y be-
cause they had taken human life lille
gally.
If the north-the good, pious, refined,
merciful north that v sins and al
ways deals lovingly with offenders
had 5000, 900 of blacks and as many
rapings of white women n children
as occurs yearly in the south, it would
easily distance the south and hanginSs
and burnings would be of daily record.
The north is very gentle and Ion SUI
fering. 1t takes it out sentimental
vaporing and caustic censure of the
south it loves to hate. The lynchings
are very bad but murder and rapes are
vastly worse. 1t is a great pity that
the rapes and murders do not stop,
then lynchings would disappear.
The Brooklyn On. " Eagle had this
recently and it gives a correct view OF
the precise conditions in exposed local.
ties, in the country generally n on
the outskirts Of villages and towns:
I'm parts Of the south where convic'
tons have been secured in orderly pro

as in those quarters where the lynch.
ings have made their power felt tbs
white residents believe themselves safe
The condition is d~eplorable. The people
visit upon law-breakers a worse break
ing Of the law. If the courts cannot
be made efficient it may come to The
pass that all negroes will require to re-
move from American soil, to which thoy
were brought against their wills, and
If they do not so remove that they will
be expelled by force and shipped AVA

are quite equal to those sustained when
the war began in the fall of 1893. The
London correspondent Of the Philadel-
phia Times gives a long account of
British opinion and actual conditions
at the seat Of war. and the following is
entertaining:
"Itlvould be a serious mistake to as
sumo hat. because about 20, 900 Beers
are prisoners. 1t would be impossible for
battles of the magnitude of the first
struggles at the Tugela and Modder
rivers to be repeated. The Beers in the
past year have probably recruited 5000
colonial Dutch. while the republican
forces are now at their fullest available
strength. instead of. as originally, leav-
ing one man of each family to reside
on the farm. On the other hand, Lord

1t is difficult, it seems. to ascertain
the actual fighting strength of the Beers
1t is put from HOO to 10000. We sus-
pect from the great number of Boer
prisoners in the camp Of the British,
that the real strength does not much
surpass, if any, 10000 men. But they
are brave, enterprisinE and dashing.
