BITTER FEELING DISAPPEARS.
And Wilmington, Delaware, Grows Calm After
Week Of FeYerish Excitement.
fBy the Associated Press. }

Wilmington, Del, June 27.-What was
considered the most exciting week In the
history of Delaware's principal city, a
week stained with the record of horrible
lynching and mob violence, closed calmly
and quietly tonight. Despite the fact that
peace hovers over the town it cannot be
safely predicted that the present condition
of tranquil affairs viii continue. The en-
tire police force is on duty and 100 ma
tional gtiardsmen are stationed in the ar
mory ready for any duty The police APP
parently have a tight grip on the situation
and they propose to hold it. Captain
Kane, who is in command OF the police
tonight. said he did not look for further
trouble.
The bitter feeling exhibited by the
whites and blacks against each other to be
rapidly disappearing. There has been no
encounters of the races since Thursday
night. While this is the condition of af-
fairs tonight. the police propose to keep
in force for few days longer all the
precautionary measures they adopt this
week.
Undoubtedly the gravest factor in keep
ing down disorder is the closing of the sa-
loon. An order similar to the one sent
out last night was again issued this after
noon and every one OF Wilmington's $50
saloons closed at 6 o'clock to remain closed
until midnight Sunday or Monday morn
ing.
Mayor Fisher sent out suggestion to
the storekeepers generally today to close
their places of business at an early hour
tonight. The suggestion, however, was not
needed because there was no necessity for
it. The streets of the city were crowded
tonight with the usual Saturday night
shoppers. but there was no disorder.
A Wilmington evening newspaper today
quotes the Rev. NJ B. Salter of Charles
ton, c., a Bishop of the A. M. E.
Church, who is visiting in this city, as
follows with regard to the lynching of
White:
I'VE are willing to take off our coats,
mount our horses and ride into hell if
necessary to see that the law is carried
out if one of our race outrages a white
woman. We expect the white men to do
the same when such a similar crime is
committed upon our race by white men. >

to discontinue State telephones and
only use Raleigh and Bell telephones an

ing what his company would do about
the matter when the Interstate came
to Raleigh the telephone business was a
monopoly which only the rich could af-
ford We practically cut prices in two
and put telephone service in the reach

During last year we have at an enor-
nous expense rebuilt our entire system and
installed splendid switchboard, 800 equip

subscription of any telephone system in
the State and we guarantee to our pat

high water mark and give them the
best of service at the prices which now

THE value Of company like the Inter

moment We keep the rates down. Just
look at Asheville where the companies
merged and where the prices went up.

ing in your editorial which read:

Oyster Bay, l.. L., June 27.-President
Roosevelt's home coming for the summer
was made the occasion of celebration.
His reception was notable for its enthus-
iastic cordiality and likewise for its vigor.
The latter quality was due to a slight fac
tional difference among the towns people,
the result being that the President was
accorded a double reception. The oyster
Bay Board of Trade, headed by President
]. Morgan Griffin had planned an elabo-
rate demonstration, and -Assemblyman
Maurice Townsend had arranged another.
Both were carried out according to pro-
grams, but as both were directed to the
same end, the friendly rivalry between the
factions resulted only in adding to the
enthusiasm of the reception.
