A WORD TO ADVERTISERS.

The average advertiser doesn't know,
or If he does, we haven't found it out.
that the newspaper people have as
much pride in the appearance OF ad-
vertiscments as he has.
Vo like to have them well written.
truthful and interesting to our read
ers, then we know that we shall be
able to get results. for the merchants
who are paying their money for them.
We are ready to do our part. a
force Of experts is kept to set the copy
in the most attractive way and to study
out effective schemes. 1t is an art that
tho layman does not comprehend.
Now we get down to the meat OF our
article; There are merchants who give
tho printer time TO do his best work.
They send their copy the night before
or notify tho paper. and then send 1t
early IN the morning. That gives the
printer time to make his plans and
study out effects.
But there are merchants who seem
to think II a paper goes to press at two.
they can send down q column Of copy
at one and have It appear in the paper
properly displayed, Sometimes it gets
iammed in, but the result il not sats-
factory to any one.
For the sake Of tho advertiser him
self, we propose to insist on a little
more consideration for the printer. We
think we are In q position to do this,
and wo know that It Is to the advan-
taGe to tho man who Is buying space.
We want to give the advertiser the
results he Is after and we expect his
corporation. 1t viii not help matters
for him to make suggestions as to our
policy. We do not tell him what kinds
OF goods no must keep. We have our
space TO sell to reliable persons. and we
propose TO give them full value II they
will only let US.

MOB IN LYNCHBURG
SHOOTS NEGRO TO DEATH
Sheriff in Defending His
Prisoner Fired Into Mob
Wounding One

Lynchburg, Tenn, Sept. sy.-=s-------- =
George r. Davidson, in attempting to
save the life of a negro. fired into a
mob which was assailing the igil,
wounding a man whose name is un-
known. The sheriff summoned assist
ance, but he and his aides we're over
powered, the Jail entered and the much
wanted negro, Allen Small. shot TO
death In the corridor. The mob was
composed Of about % people. Sheriff
Davidson was alone at the time. He
refused to give up the keys and opened
fire from a window. He wounded one
of the mob, but his identity is not
known. The sheriff then called for
the police. Two officers and several
citizens rushed to the jail, but despite
their presence the mob battered down
the wooden door at the foot Of the
stairs leading to the corridor. The
sheriff and posse made a strong re-
sistance, but were unable to prevent
the mob from breaking in the iron
door at the head of the stairs and en-
tering the cell occupied by the negro
about whose neck they placed rope.
AS soon as the men emerged from the
cell it became apparent that the negro
could not be taken from the jail and
hung for fear of being fired on and he
was shot to death. The mob then
made an effort to escape, but the
sheriff and his guard captured three Of
them and they are in Jail
Small was under arrest on the charge
Of assaulting Mrs. Eliza Eggleston, and

A BILL FOR EXTRAS.

II Is said that there win be a bill
for extras for the Farnhurst road, and
there is an intimatlon that the plans
and specifications were drawn IN a
manner TO make this possible That is
interesting news. but not altogether
unexpected. It would be marvellous in
deed to see a piece Of public work done
without some demand for compensa-
ton for extras. Had a private indl-
vidual had the giving out Of this con-
tract and been required to pay for
t.. there would be no extras.
But no matter how many bills are
put in, not one penny should be paic
out Of the public treasury that is mo-
sanctioned by the terms OF the con-
tract, II the plans and specifications
were incomplete, the contractors pre-
sumably knew It when they put IN thelr
bids. and they should be held to a
strict accountability
We favored good roads bin because
a vast improvement to our highways
Is imperative We believe the bill that
was passed was about the poorest OF
those offered. but VIC welcomed Il as

found that Il Is impossible to carry on
the work In some economical and SEN
slble manner we shall urge the legls-
lature TO repeal the law and abandon
our roads altogether. II win be some
thing to know that we are unable to

FATE OF BEATRICE
DEFINITELY DETERMINED
Stern of the Fishing Steamer
Found Bottom Up on
Virginia Coast

Norfolk Va, Sept. 26.-The United
States weather bureau received infor-
nation from Captain Drinkwater, Of
the Currituck life saving station. that
the stern of a steamer bearing the
name Beatrice, New York" was
pounding bottom up in the breakers
two and one-half miles south Of CAT
fey's Inlet life saving station. Caffey's
Inlet is half way between Currituck
and Kittyhock. The wreckage is sup
posed to be from the fishing steamer
Beatrice, which was caught in the re-
cent hurricane while south of the Della
ware Brealkwater, Wednesday, Septem-
Der 10. She carried a crew Of 35 men,
and was loaded with 40O.0 fish. Her
captain was ]. w. Leland, of Balti-
more. H. S. Roy was the engineer
and Thomas f. Latham his assistant
Both of these men were from Norfolk
There were two other white men in
the crew. and the remaining 80 were
negroes.
The Beatrice put out from Cape
Charles September Is for Delaware
Breakwater, with a cargo Of fish. She
was overtaken by the hurricane. and
nothing has been heard Of her till the
coast wires brought the news of her
stern washing ashore. The message
says the life savers viii board the
wreck at low tide. The Beatrice was
owned by the Atlantic Fisheries Com
pany. Of Cape Charles, and was valued
at s25 900.

Push OUT TO THE DELAWARE

We are quite IN accord with our con-
temporary. The Morning News. in It's
advocacy Of an extension OF our
wharves to the deep water OF the Del
aware. We do not believe the follow
ing is an exaggeration;
Had the people of Philadelphia, one
hundred years or more ago, set them
selves down as being opposed to the
reclaiming OF the marshy edges of the
two great rivers there; had they re-
fused to build wharves along the two
streams. had they declared that COM
merce would come and go by force Of
circumstances; that Il wasnonesense to
spend money to encourage commercial
interests, why then Philadelphia today
would be a village. Had Wilmington,
one hundred years sgo-or fifty years
ago-gone 10 the Delaware river front
and erected a wharf line on both sides
OF the mouth Of the Christiana river
and filled in the low lands behind these
wharves. then the Wilmington OF today
would be ranking almost as high as
Philadelphia does as a point for the
shipping and the receiving Of freight
by water.
Corporations undertake projects that
are too great FOR individuals. trusts
forward enterprises that small cors
porations do not caro- 10 undertake.
and municipalities have tho motive and
tho power to push those enterprises
which are for the benefit Of all the
people. Il may be possible that IN the
course OF tifnes this problem will solve
itself, but we may hasten Il along by
hundred years or so. Almost every
western city has been built up by the
individual enterprise Of it's citizens.
supplemented by tho enterprise OF its
citizens acting together. A stranger
has but 20 take down tho map OF VII
mington and sec our location to ask
"why don't you got out to the deep
water that is so near your doors2"
When Wilmington was built the site
was ideal. Tho Chfistiana was oapa-
BILE OF floating amy craft that came

Are we to be content. allowing other
cities and towns on tho banks OF the
Delaware to absorb the trade that IS
normally ours? II not We must heatir
ourselves.
There must be "a long pull a strong
pull, and a pull altogether" Il re-
quires the help Of every newspaper. Of
every onterprisins citizen. Of boards Of
trade and Of our representatives IN
Congress. Wilmington has a splendid
outlook. A deep-water channel OF only
seventy-fve miles TO the sea is sufn-
cient to build up a city even in the
midst OF a desert. Yet we are situated
in a fertile country, at the head Of
great peninsula, on the line Of the
