1t is with very deep regret that we hav'

know of no better wish we can maze for

management of Albert Horace Gurdy.
There have been great developments in
the mining industry at the South during
the past twenty years. Twenty years age
tie South mined 6,OOO,OOO tons of coal.
Last year it mined 81 600 600 tons, gam
of $1,000, 100 tons. The gain in the pro
duction of iron has been equally encourag
ing. In 1880 the South produced 70OC
tons of iron. Last year the production
amounted to 100000 tons. 1t is estimated
thatin 1903 the output will be 5,SOO,cO(
tons.
President Roosevelt in his able letter tC
Governor Durbin, which letter will bt
found on this page, makes the assertion
that "ih the recent cases of lynching three
fourths were not for rape at all, but TO
murder, attempted murder, and even les
henous offenses." This is stliking-proo
of the dangerous growth Of spirit Of law
lessness which makes what is called tn
usual crime" pretext for mob violence
We hope all our readers will give til
Presidents S letter careful consideration.

Successful

Whitewater, Va, August S.-A partly
successful experiment with the 10 foot
Langley airship was made this morning
from the house boat in the Potomac rives
off this point. The aeradrome started
we'll in the straight line south with a vol
ocity of seuento feet per second, and flew
for distance variously esteemed at from
four to elk hundred yards. Some detiic-

There was sufficient steam for the rapid
flight of half or three quarters of a mile.
Under full pressuse OF this force the
machine struck the water and moment

Richmond, Va, August l0.-Ihe tria
of t Fulton strike cases Was brought tc
an abrupt close today, the jury upon the
advice of Commonwealth + Attorney
Richardson bringing in a verdict Of Not
guilty." without leaving their seats in the
box.
Ills Honor was ready With Instructions
when he raped court to order at ii
o clock in the preseuce OF vast crowd,
and as he proceeded to read amid absolute
silence, it WAS evident what the end
would he.
INSTRUCTIONS VERY DEFINITE.
So clean cut and pointed were the in.
stIuctlons, and 50 unmistakably did they
define The .aw governing the cAsts that
any laymau in the room must haye known
that tie verdict could have been none 9TH
er than that Of Not guilty.
When the jury had been instructed,
Judge Richardson, on behalf the Com.
uonwealti.. asked them TO find the pris
oners not guilty, and they did 81 without
leaving their box.
This acquittal applied, however, only
to charge OF not, upon which instructions
said there could be no conviction under
ihe indictment. Then the Common.
wealths Attorney asked that the charge
of felony, to-vit, the obstruction Of car
Of the railway company, be nole prose
quied, aud an order to this effect was
promptly entered on record.

DANGER OF MOB LAW.

The danger Of lawlessness grows with
what it feeds on, and when mobs with lm-
punity lynch criminals for one crime they
are certain to begin to lynch real or alleg
ed criminals for other causer. In the re-
cent cases of lynching over three-fourihs
were not for rape at all, but for murder,
attempted murder, and even less heinouS
ofenses.
Moreover, the history of these recent
cases shows the awful fact that when the
minds of men are habtuated to the use Of
torture by lawless bodies to avenge crimes
crimes of a peculiarly revolving description
other lawless bodies will use torture in or
der to punish crimes of an ordinary type.
Surely no patriot can fail to see the fear
full brutaIzation and debasement which
the indulgence of such a spirit and such
practices inevitably portend. Surely all
public men, all writers for the daily press,
all clergymen, all teachers, all who in any
way have right TO address the public,
should with every energy unite to denounce
such crimes and to support those engaged
in putting them down.
LYNCHING HURTS THE NATION.
As a people we claim the right to speak
with particular emphasis for freedom and
for fair treatment of all men without re.
gard to differences of race, fortune, creed
or color. We forfeit the right go to speak
when we commit or condone such crimes
as these of which l speak.
The nation, like the individual, cannot
commit a crime without impunity. If We
are guilty of lawlessness and brutal VIC
lence, whether our guilt consists in active
participation therein or in mere comm
vance and encouragement, we shall assur
edlv suffer later on because of what We
have done.
The corner stone of this Republic, as O.
all free Governments, lis respect for anC
obedience to the law. Where we permit
the law to be defied or evaded, whether
by rich man or poor man, by black mar
or white, we are by just so much weak
ening the bonds of our civilization and in
creasing the chances of it's overthrow, and
of the substitution therefor Of a system in
which there shall be violent alterations
of anarchy and tyranny.
Sincerely yours.

Mr.. MANLEY's STATEMENT.

Chief Assistant Manley, of the Langley
expedition, made the following statement:
"The experiment was entirely successful.
All the data which this machine was de-
signed to furnish was contained. The
equilibrium was perfect, the power adeq-
uate aad the supporting surface ample.
No accident occurred. Some of the wood
work of the wings and rudder was slightly
damaged by the graphing hooks used in
taking the acrodrome from the water, but
no essential parts were injured. Were an
other test desired this afternoon the same
machine could be used. l have nothing
further to say at present. l shall make a
full report of the test to Secretary Lang
ley"
