The news comes from Chicago that beef
IS spelling in the big refrigerators and
that cattle are being kept alive at great
expense because owing 10 high prices the
demand for meat has been greatly cur
tailed. The prosperity OF all depends on
the welfare OF all, and the placing OF a
prohibitive price on any necessary article
prevents the making of money out OF
that article A few thousand dollars made

Is years of age. The gentleman
making this statement is a man
well known in the State, and has
held responsible positions. He says,
moreover, that there was only one
track at the scene of the murder and
this track correspondent with the
track of the elder, and not of the
younger. If these statements turn
out to be true the lynching becomes
all the more horrible. 1t is high
time for the public opinion of the
State to rise up and put a stop to
this form of lawlessness.

THE ILLINOI RACE WAR.

A race war has been in progress in
Saline county, Illinois, over two
months-a war so unrelenting and
fierce that it would have attracted
wide attention and deep political
indignation at least if it had occurred
in the South. Occurring in Illinois,
it has attracted little attention.
Saline county, where the Illinois
race war has it's chief seat, is nearly
at the Southern end of the vast I'LL
nois coal fields, and it is abreast of
Kentucky and not over twenty miles
from Kentucky, where there are III
merous negroes. Ell Dorado, the
county seat, is a railroad center, and
a town of considerable local impor-
lance. Trouble of a similar nature
has also been developed at West
Baden and French Lick in Orange
county, Indiana. Orange county is
also near Kentucky, but it is just
outside of the Indiana coal fields. It
is a county well supplied with min
eral springs and summer hotels.
The trouble at Eldorade has gone
far that an industrial Institute for
negro students has been broken up,
and the property is to be sold, and
the institution transferred to a more
point. Governor Yates is
deeply in politics, and he has taken
no steps towards defending the prop
erty or personal rights of the negroes
in Saline county.
In all the southern counties of ILL
nOis, Indiana and Ohio there are
many negroes, and racial hatred ex-
lists in all of them. There is really
no congenial locality in any North
ern State for negroes, because Of the
prevalence of color prejudice. This
prejudice is deep-rooted, and when
it is infamed by incoming negroes
Southern States it becomes vio-
lent and wars of the Eldorado sort
The only lesson the case affords
seems to be that the best home of the
is where he was born-here in
the South.

of the, lamented DIR. J. B. Seavey,
one of the most skillful and success
full doctors and surgeons in his day
that have ever practiced in the State,
and whose biography, if written,
weuld constitute a real romance in

The house is a good example Of ante
bellum architecture, the indications
of decay about the pillars and era
dab floors, incident to age, throwing
over and about the premises a sacred
glamour. In addition to a fine va
riety of flowers and other shrubbery
in the yard, two specimens are wor-
thy of special mention. One is a
"Came1ia Japonica," twenty feet
high, oval and perfect in shape,
which is frequently loaded with
flowers and snow at the same time.
The other is an ivy, which, after
climbing to the top of one of the tall
est of the great oaks in the yard, and
finding its way out to the tips of the
long horizontal branches, falls in fes-
toons'to the ground twenty feet be-
low. AT the foot of the bluff, a short
distance from the house, and at the
head of n of the numerous ravines
that extend out from the creek, there
flow from assures in the rock a num-
Der of springs of most excellent pure
cold water.
Far removed from the bustling,
noisy world, fanked ON the north
and the east by a beautiful stream
along which hill and dale rapidly
succeed each other, with a long
stretch of pine forest on the south,
and ON the west a we'll kept farm
prospect, is situated this home which
in it's origin united some of the best
elements of Northern and Southern
character long before the bloody
chasm was opened between these
sections into which flowed the life
currents of SO many Of the rarest and
best from both sides. Here a genius
from New Hampshire elected to
build his home in the days when the
Old South fourished, and here re-
mains a site on which some Captain
of Industry might build a home and
exemplify the crowning glories of
the New South.

State of North Carolina,
Executive Department.

Executive Department.
Whereas, official information has
been received at this department that
Harrison and James Gillespie were
lynched at Salisbury about June 10,
1902, by parties unknown. And
Whereas, it appears that the said
parties unknown have fled the State,
or so concealed themselves that the
ordinary process of law cannot be
served upon them; Now,
Therefore, /, Charles B. Aycock,
Governor of the State of North Caro-
vested by law, do issue this my
four hundred dollars each for the ap-
prehension and delivery of the said
parties unknown, Or any of them, to
the sheriff of Rowan county, at the
court house in Salisbury, with evil
dence sufficient to convict and a con-
viction, and / do enjoln all officers of
the State and all good citizens to as
sist in bringing said criminals to
justice.
Done at our City of Raleigh, the
18th day of June, in the year of our
Lord n thousand nine hundred and
two, and in the one hundred and
tWenty-siXth year of our American
Independence.

By the Governor:
P. NJ. PEARSAL, Private Secretary.
AS it has been estimated that there
were seventy-fve persons in the
mob, the reward offered amounts to
$50. 900.
This is an entirely unprecedented
sum for the chief executive to offer,
and it looks as if he were determined
to do everything to the uttermost to
arrest those who fagrantly disre-
garded law and order. This Will
lead to important disclosures, if any
thing will.
The issuing of this proclamation
was about the first thing the Gov
ernor did upon his return from Coo
leemee yesterday morning. Col. p.
M. Pearsall, the Governors Secre-
tary, drew up the paper, and the
Governor signed 1t.
Solicitor Hammer is now in Sails
bury and is at work on this case.
several who took part in the lynch
ing, and when further evidence
against them is collected arrests will
follow. He expects to go to the very
bottom of this ~indefensible lynching.
Governor Aycock has been very
much worried about the matter. The
boys charged with the murder were
under arrest and in Jail, with the
certainty of a speedy trial, and the
lime for which they were lynched
as not the crime for which lynch
; is ordinarily the penalty in the
Z 18th, and sometimes in other parts
the country. How far lynching
IL go aud for what crimes it will
be- practiced cannot be determined.
Itfls a form of lawlessness which
gr1 s and nothing can stop it but an
Ell ghtened public sentiment. The

A gentleman from Salisbury yes
terday said there was very grave
doubt jas to the guilt of the younge.
of the two negroes recently lynchet
at Salisbury. He says that the pa
rents of the two boys affirmed all tn
time that the younger boy was a
home at the moment of the commits
