Panorama of Finance and the
Markets

As one who would expect of great
metropolitan newspaper having the ia.
cilities of The Chicago Record-Ilerald,
that paper always covers the markets
financial and commercial intelligence
generally ON scale of exceptional full
ceptional iillness, covering two entire
pages of each issue. The quotations on
stock. grain and in fact every CONNER
cial and fin ,ncial market in which the
people of The Northwest are interested,
are thoroughly complete and satisfac-
tory.
Special cables tell the story of finances
abroad. The Speculative Gossip"
wall Street Talks" and "LaSalle Street
Notes" and features of the Record-Her-
aid market page that interest spectators
from the Atlantic coast. They tell of
the undercurrents in the grain and Sc
curity markets. They relate personal
gossip of the pits, in it's way as impor-
tant as the humdrum and routine part
of the days sorry of speculation. The
Wall street letter of John Chambers
summarizes the daily HISTORY otGotham's
money mart in most entertaining and
fashion. Examine the mar
ket page OF any issue and see Yourself.

Young Men RevengeAn Insult To
A Young Lady.
Greenville News.

Greenville News.
Thursday afternoon last ne
gro was served 200 iashes by a
crowd of young white men ini n
body of woods about two mics
to the left of Fountain Inn.
The report is that twenty five
of the 200 lashes were applied by
a young white lady of the com
munity whom the negro was al
legged to have lnsulted by making
some rough remarks in her pres
ence.
A number of young men of the
community learned of what the
negro had said to the young lady,
and party was at once organized
to give the negro a severe whip.
ping. He was soon found and
taken to body of woods, strap
ped to tree and the lashcs appli-
ed.
After the performance was con.
cluded, the negro, bleeding and
almost exhausted from the effects
of the wounds inflicted, was re-
leased and told to "hlt the grit. :"
Despite his weak condition and
apparently serious wounds, the
negro lost no time in making himI
self scarce in that community. Ho
has not been seen since.
The affair was done very quiet,
ly, without creating any excite
ment beyond the members of the
whipping crowd.
