ADAMS CooLLY AWAITS TRIAL.

Americas Times Recorder: Monroe
Adams, the double murderer, continues
to take life easy in the cool confines
of the bastile here, and the thought
of trial for his atrocious and brutal
crime does not appear to disturb him
in the least He is fat, hearty, cheer
full and contented, with no thought or
care of the future or the fate that
awaits him. Adams, it will be re-
membered, shot to death his wife and
grown daughter here two months ago,
the crime being one of the most helm
Gus and shocking ever committed in
Americas. 1t was without the slightest
pretext of justification, and even after
his capture the brute expressed pleas
ure at the completeness of the job.
His only regret, as then expressed, was
that he did not kill four other negroes
for whom he was searching at the
time he killed his wife and daughter
Adams will answer for his brutal crime
at the November term of court, and
in the meanwhile will continue to en-
joy life in the Jail with plenty to eat
and no work to do.

EXPENSES OF PRIMARY

The Tallahasseean: The Tallahas-
seean is not in favor of the state pay
ing the expenses of primary elections
In fact, we cannot see how the thing
is to be done, with all due Difference
to the opinions of one so high in the
public estimation and usually so con-
sentative and correct as United States
Senator Mallory. 1t must be admit
ted that if the state makes provision
for the payment of the expenses of
the Democratic primary elections, it
must also make provisions for the
same thing as to Republican primaries
if called upon-and there is no doubt
but that it would be. Then we would
find ourselves in the unpleasant and
expensive predicament of paying the
expenses of three elections to secure
one set of officials. And if the Peo-
pies party, the Prohibition party and
various others should form an organi-
cation in Florida, or perfect one al
ready formed. we would have to grant
them the same request or place our
selves in the unenviable position of
showing partially in the use of pub
lie funds. The thing is simply i'm
practicable, and has not been serious
ly considered by those who are favor
ably quoting Senator Mallory's speech
in Pensacola, in which he so express

MURDER MYSTERY REVIVED.

Carrollton Free Press: There is a
new and startling development in the
famous tragedy that occurred at Vic
tory in January, 1901. Otis Word, the
little boy who was foully murdered.
and for whose death Ike Williams was
arrested and tried. Suspicion has all
along been centered on one of the prin-
cipal witnesses against Ike Williams,
one William Mote. Mote left here soon
after the Negroes trial and has been
in Alabama. Little was known about
him at the trial of the negro. Notes
sister married a man named Ivey in
this county. She told Ivey that her
brother had confessed to her that he
took part in the bloody murder of the
boy. young man named Jacks,
who was convinced of Notes connec-
ton with the murder, has been work
ing up the case against him and, hav-
ing located him in Alabama, a requi-
sition has been secured for his return
to Georgia.

PROHIBITION WON'T WORK.

cambridge Argus: The truth is, many
people who never drink liquor vote
against prohibition because they do not
believe that moral questions are best
regulated that way. And, again, as
unpalatable as the fact may be to
some, dry" towns are generally dead
towns; and until the world becomes
sanctified in religious sense this
state of things is bound to continue.
Many people resent prohibition laws
as an unwarranted interference with
their rights and privileges; and we
notice that this resentment is in no
wise confined to the debauched or ig
norant While the abuse of the liquor
traffic is very bad, the virulent feel
ing engendered between members and
factions of a community consequent
upon a prohibition election is inf1n-
itely worse.

WHO BEAT REBECCA GRISOM.

Pensacola Press: The mystery con-
nected with the negro woman, Mary
Rebecca Grisom, who was beaten near
ly to death Tuesday night or Wednes-
day morning at a camp on Bayou
Grande, increases hourly. The officers
all seem to be in the dark and none
of them appear to know anything
about the facts in the case. The most
puzzling feature of the whole business
is that the white persons who should,
and who are believed to, know all
about the matter. positively refuse to
talk for publication-not one of them
being willing to have his name con-
nected, in any manner, with the af-
fair; hence, a dozen different versions
of the beating have gained circulation.
1t is also whispered on the streets to-
day that the woman, who was at first
sent to st. Anthonys' Hospital for
treatment, was secretly removed from
that hospital and was carried to some
private house.

SENDING GINSENG TO CHINA.
Sought Plant Have Chance to
Develop a StiII larger Trade.

American Growers of This Much
Develop >tiH Larger Trade.
Ginseng is in such demand in China
as a spring tonic and for other medi-
cinal uses that American cultivators
of this plant have successfully invad-
ed that market.
In reply to inquiries by a New York
correspondent. Consul James w. Rags
dale of Tientsin. writes that there are
four principal kinds of ginseng known
TO the trade-the native which comes
from Kirin and its neighborhood; the
Korean, the American and the Japa-
nese. Miraculous healing properties
are ascribed to the Kirin ginseng, and
1t commands a very high price, the
best specimens being sold at 200 to 600
times their weight in silver.
Only the wealthy, of course, can in
dulge in this costly drug. but Such is
the faith of all classes of China in
the life-giving virtues of the plant
that even the poorer classes make ire
men6ous sacrifices to obtain il in cases
OF emergency Owing to the immense
demand and the limited supply in the
wild state the farmers near Kirin are
doing a thriving business in cultivat-
ing ginseng, although IL commands

MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWS OF
SHIPS AND SHIPPING.

The Schooner John l.. Treat, Now in
Port Loading Lumber, Fitted Out
With Electrical Machinery for
Handling the Vessels Apparatus.
Also Has Electric Lights Aboard.
Matters of Interest to Shippers
and Mariners.
For a modern built schooner the John
L. Treat, which is now in port load
ing lumber, is a fine specimen. Among
the distinct innovations on the Treat
is a storage battery, which furnishes
the power with which to handle the
vessels hosting apparatus, and all
other machinery about her. With the
electrical power the vessel is handled
to great advantage at sea in the rails
ing and weighing of anchor and ham
ding the sails. The lights for the
Treat are also furnished by electric
ity.
The builders of modern schooners
take good care to provide for the COM
fort of officers and crew, and the ar
rangements on the Treat are no ex-
ception. The vessel is conveniently
fitted throughout, being one of the best
to visit the port recently.
If few days passes without any
new project in connection with the
marine industry being made public the
inventive genius of the space writer
starts a rumor that is sure to attract
attention and call for affirmation or
denial, all of which occupies space
in the originator's paper says the Ma
rine Journal. He gets his check for
the same. and subsidies till time war
rants another fake.
No less than two stories of new
steamship lines were started last week.
The first was to be in opposition to
the Old Dominion Line between Vir-
ginia and New York, and the second
a connection with the Seaboard Air
Line Railroad at Norfolk to New York
by water.
1t would take a long time for the
wealthiest of corporations to get to-
gether plant to successfully supplant
the Old Dominion service between New
York and Virginia ports.
Steam tonnage meets with but little
demand in any of the trades, and as
tonnage is abundant for both prompt
and forward loading the outlook for
an improvement in rates in the near
future is not encouraging. In the sail
tonnage market business was duh. or
ders being scarce in all off shore
trades. There was, however, a good
demand for lumber, and the vessels

feeling as regards rates was some
