This IS the first case in which Mr.. Gary
had presided as a judge, and it was with
a sigh OF relief that he heard the verdict
rendered in a case of such great import
ance, and one in which so much was re
quired of the one sitting on the bench.
With the elimination of the Tillman trial

The trial ended just eighteen DAYS from
the day the jury was drawn, and court
was IN session thirteen days out Of that
time, with the addition of the short time
consumed this morning in receiving the
report of the jury and in going through
the brief legal formalities closing up the
case.
Mr.. Tillman after his ~acquittal made the
following statement to the Associated
Press:

AFTERMATH.
One OF the jurymen yesterday afternoon
SAID that they had practically made W
their minds on the verdict as soon as TIE
evidence was in, and before a single speech
Of counsel. He said that most Of the nj
teen minutes the jury was out was spent
IN packing up their clothing, that II only
took two or three minute TO determine
the verdict. The clothes worn by Mr.
Skinner showing the bullet holes, he said
had perhaps more to do with the verdict
than anything else.

Dollar Wheat-Its Meaning
Continued from First Page.)

IcR
sales which at present depress the mar
ketS.
All OF these plans We're practically out
lined our years ago when the farmers q,
the South organized the Southern Cotton
Growers Protective Association. plans
are now being perfected to build largo
warehouses throughout the interior Of oul
cotton growing section. and when com
pleted, farmers can then store their cot
ton, draw money on 1t at low rates Of IN
terest and begin in a general way mar
keting the entire crop slowly, which Is
we'll nigh impossible under. existing condi-
tions. Farmers all over the union are
waking up to the necessity OF revolution
izing the present bad methods employed IN
selling their staple crops, whereby these
products are rushed uDon the markets
when harvested and sold far below their
actual values, thus playing directly into
the hands of spectators and manufac-
turers.
WHAT DOLLAR WHEAT MEANS.
Good Hour cannot be purchased now ~
our local stores at less thar $500 10 $500
per barrel. If through the artiyc co
operation of the wheat producers ucNt
year the price for wheat is advanced TO
one dollar per bushel on the farm. il VII
mean that Southern consumers Who pur-
chase flour viii have to pay from $500
to $1,000 per barrel. The result OF my
recent interviews with many prominent
northwestern wheat growers confirms me
in the belief hat the price of flour VIII
be much higher twelve months hence
than it Is at the present time. | am.
therefore, justified in sounding a note Of
warning to Southern farmers at this time.
and to impress upon them the irIpera-
tive Importance of planting at least a
sufficient acreage in wheat on their farms
this fall to meet their individual family
wants. 1t Is true cotton Is higher this
season than usual. but the high price Of
supplies has made it cost more per pound
to raise the staple than in past years.
! Every item Of expense on our farm IS more
costly now than in the past. But we
cannot raise even ten cents cotton with
which to buy $1,000 -four and Y cent
meat. 1t costs less to raise a pound Of
meat than it does a pound Of cotton, and
less to raise a bushel Of wheat than ten
pounds Of cotton.
We must not lessen our determination
to raise our supplies at home one iota
because the present price Of cotton looks
so inviting. The price Of supplies VIII
continue to soar skyward under existing
conditions, and the farmer who expects
to be successful must plant grain, raise
meat and endeavor to place his cotton on
| the market as near a surplus Of his
years business as possible. Our next ar
ticlc will be on the subject Of Wheat
Culture and this article ! written az
a preface intended to put our readers to
thinking and preparing to plant a goodly
acreage in wheat during the next sixty
days HARN1E JORDAN.

Paying Paving Bills.

Last month the City Engineer filed
the report of cost of setting curb and
paving with yitrifed brick King street
from Royal to Fayette. The railway
company paid the contractors direct
for the space between their tracks
and two feet on each side. The
charge against the city was about $22, 800,
of which about $l2, 900 has been assessed
against property abutting or fronting
on King street. Sixteen assessments in
the aggregate amounting TO 81, 0S3. "a
have been paid. To say the least this is
commendable, butitis, nevertheless, true,
that Of the sixteen not one was in any
way connected with what was known or
termed the progressive movement of
1901. The City Tax Collector will be
busy for the next month with tax mat
tiers of 1903 After August /, it is the
intention of the finance committee to
have an immediate settlement of these
bills, either by payment in full, or one
fifth cash, balance in notes bearing 6 per
cent. interest.

: rauette,s Masonic Apron :?

4 dispatch from Chicago says La
favette's Masonic aprons seem 10 be
scarcely less numerous than were the
negro body servants of George Wash
ington a few years ago. Recently a
small lodge at Leroy, H., made public
It's claim to this famous apron, supposed
to have been given to Washington by
LAFAYETTE. In view of the fact that At
torney f. c. Ferguson, of Chicago, had
been shown such an apron on recent
visit to Alexandria, he mailed the clip
ping from newspaper to Washington
lodge at Alexandria, receiving in reply a
letter that makes the whole subject Of
the apron unsettled.
The letter was written by ]. Fred
Birrell, of Alexandria, an officer in the
lodge. Before writing he had placed
the newspaper clipping and Mr.. Fergu
sons letter before his lodge and there
were numerous EXPLANATIONS thereat.
According to Mr.. Birrell there was
wide spread surprise that any other
lodge than the Grand Lodge of Penn
sylvania and his own lodge at Alexan-
dria should have ac'aim upon the apron.
According to the Walcott letter."
writes Mr.. Birrell, speaking of the Hi
nois lodges claim, "the apron there was
presented TO Washington five years be-
fore the latter became Mason. As he
WAS initiated, too, at the age of eight
cen, be must necessarily have been
thirteen years old-many years before
he heard of the Marquis de Lafayette.
This apron being 155 years old, and it
being well known fact that November
4, 1892, was the 150th anniversary Of
Washington's initiation into Masonry,
you will doubtless perceive that the rec
ords of Masonry and the discrepancies
in time and place and names in the re-
cord of Leroy Lodge point to the improb-
ability-yes, the impossibility-of the
claim made by it,"
THE apron made by Madame La
fayette for Washington with the box
in which it was sent here is and for years
has been in the possession of Alexan-
dria- Washington Lodge of Masons.

No Ferry in Sight Yet.

The low tides of the past few days
have added to the normal dismal con-
ditions prevailing around certain places
on the river front, notably that in which
the discarded ferry steamer Belle Haven
is berthed. This relic of former days
was yesterday evening poised partly in
the water and partly without, the stern
having settled well down at the end OF
the dock. while the forward portion to a
point amidship was high and dry. The
old steamer, the last now living of the
numbers of steam craft which have for
nearly three-quarters of a century run on
the ferry line between this city and
Washington, is a dismal reminder of
by-gone days and the busy life which
once characterized Alexandria's river
front. There are many anxious in
uuiries as to when ferry facilities will be
resumed between the two cities, but
those who are supposed TO be in a posi-
ton to answer the queries return the
same stereotyped answer, There 5 moth
