A negro colony has returned to
the United States from Liberia after
an unsuccessful effort to cultivate
cotton pro6tably in that country.
N ere is no place in the world like
the South for the cultivation of cot
ton and the negro is better suited
to the cotton fields than any other
labor than can be secured SO long
as he is satisfied to make an honest
living and be comfortable and at
peace, but the moment he UNDER
takes to consider social equality
and the question of politics he be-
comes unfit for the duties out of
which he can extract the most COM
fort, peace and happiness.

One of the largest merchants in
the city remarked the other dav
that the trouble with Newberry has
always been that the merchants
were too much absorbed in their
own business to take time to do
anything for the general welfare of
the community and help on the
progress of the city, just what we
have been telling them for many
years. There is too much business

says that the time is not far distant
when the South will have increased
banking facilities and by building
warehouses the farmer will be able
to store his cotton and secure money
on it and get fair price for it.
When the price goes up then he can
sell and he will not be forced to
sacrifice it in two or three months
of the year but he can sell at any
time Of the year when the price
suits him. The journal concludes
its article with a quotation from the
New York Commercial:
The cry has been raised that the
movement to establish warehouses
in the south merely contemplates
the foEgastion ofna i..eoMea trusts tss, :,
This chafgeis forcefully Hfutsds, II
seems to us, in an article printed by
The New York Commercial:
"A farmer can send his wheat to
the warehouse and borrow money
on his warehouse receipts. Then
if the market goes up he can sell his
wheat for the advanced price. The
warehouse man does not control the
wheat or the wheat market. Any
one can borrow money on cotton in
the warehouse at New York, bnt
the warehouse men do not control
the New York cotton market. If
southern interior points had the
same werehouse facilities as New
York and Ill of these warehouses
were owned by one man, it is diff
cult to see how he controlled the
market as long as he did not own
the cotton in the warehouses.
1T would not only benefit the
southern cotton raisers if there were
proper warehouses in the south, con-
Quoted on the up.to-date business
methods of the warehouses of to-
day" said one well-posted cotton
man, but it would benefit the mill
men as we'll. 1t would be better
for the mill nen of New England to
have the cotton stored in the south
until they get ready to use it than
to have it in Liverpool where they
cannot get it. 1t would be splen-
did thing for the southern manu-
facturer, and you must recognize
the establishment of great vested
interests in the manufacture of cot
ton goods along the foothills of the
Allegheny Mountains during the
past few years. Ten years ago the
southern cotton manufacturer was
very small factor in the price equa.
ton while today the southern cotton
manufacturers consume about 20
per cent of the American growth"
Opposition to the scheme comes
mainly from commission men who
have been charging the farmer from
81 to s. bale, and from northern
and foreign factors. Ofcourse these
men do not like to see their profits
cut down. But we cannot see how
the south is to be injured by this,
ii the difference in profit is to go to
the farmer. with whom it belongs.

accomplished results. For the past

that 100 subscribers owe the paper

means to me. A great many have
responded to the statements which
we sent out, but great many more
have not.
You have been kind to us in

Many of these have not paid US for

for you as we'll as for others. Surely
there is no one so poor that he can

the controversy. and in this connection
notice is taken of an assertion made by
the British Commissioners that the towns
OF Dyea and Skagway owed their exist
ence to the migration to the Klondike.
They assert, on the contrary, that Dyea
was founded in 1885 and Skagway in 1888.
They contradict fatty a contention made
by the British Commissioners to the ef-
feet that Canada's claims TO the terri
tory at the head of the Lynn canal was
at the time well known to the United
States Government"
This they say. "is a gratuitous as
sertion. There is no proof to sustain it,
Canada never put forward any such claim
to the United States. The claim was as
made in 1898 by Great Britain before the
Great Joint High Commission. 1t is said
that if the Canadian Government had
instructed British vessels to disregard
these regulations there would have been
grave danger of a serious collision There
undoubtedly would have been a collision
just as certainly as if they had been in
structed to. disregard the regulations of
the port of New York"
Strong exception also is taken to the
contention that there was a reservation
on the part of the British Government
when the United States volunteered to
create a port of entry at Dyea. The argu-
ment asserts that whatever reservation
there was was made by commissioner of
customs, and that he had no authority
in the premises.

.AIRSH|P BALkS
At SAILING TIME
Langley's Graft Disap-
points Aeronaut and
Spectators.
Special Dispatch to The Can.

Underwater, Va, Sept. S.-Professor
Langley's $4,000 airship was prepared to
be launched to-day. 1t was placed in
position on the houseboat at IL o'clock
this morning.
c. M. Manley, inventor of the motor en-
gine, at half-past o'clock, donned a
heavy life-preserver and mounted the seat
in the airship. For the first time the air
ship was completely rugged. Every wing,
propeller and adjustment was in place
and the machine ready to fly. Before
putting on the life-preserver Manley
shook hands with his assistants and then
climbed into the airship car, dressed in a
pair of light trousers, the life-preserver,
a coat and his stockinged feet. As he
took his position a rocket was fired, the
signal that all was ready, and those on
the tugs became alert.
"AlI ready in ten minutes" called Pro-
fessor Manley to one of his assistants.
He then applied the power.
The prOpellers gave a spasmodic clutch
and stopped with a jerk. Repeatedly the
civil engineer endeavdfed to get his mo-
cor under control. without success.
After many failures the electric spark
ignited the gasoline and the screws began
to go until they made GOO revolutions a
minute. Then the propellers stopped. A
broken valve, up to that time unobserved,
had caused the trouble. No permanent
repairs could be made, and just before 6
o'clock Professor Langley returned to the
houseboat and called the event off
Manley crawled down from his perch
and shook hands again, and everybody
admitted that he had had a narrow es-
cape.

WANToN TAKING OF LIFE.
Turks Butcher Villagers After Guar
anteeing Immunity.

LONDON, Sept 4-The Daily Mails
correspondent, in dispatch from Monas-
tir dated August 81, tells of an in
effectual attempt he made to penetrate
the Albanian cQrdon and reach Armensko.
He was threatened with death and com
PEELED to return under a guard. He gives
numerous instances of Turkish brutality
and treachery.
The villagers of Armensko were mas
sacred before a single insurgent visited
the place. The inhabitants of the village
of Nevolkas, near F'lorina, were butch
cred, while on their way to Florina, un-
der guard, after having surrendered on a
guarantee of immunity.
At Florina, continues the correspon-
dent, the Christians are in a state of abb
ject fear and are handicapped by big
oted Greek Metropolitan, who orders
them to stay irt4 the village and not to
flee, with the result that the savage SOL
diers murder them by the scores. The
European residents of Monastir, includ-
ing the Consuls, are in a state of great
anxiety Many, including the Italian
Consul, have recently been insulted by
soldiers.
Operations commenced last Thursday
on an organized scale against the insur-
gents, and bodies of troops are operating
in all directions, but no details have yet
arrived.

Processes a Sincere Desire to Restore
Peace.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept 3.-On the
anniversary of his accession, Tuesday, the
Sultan received in audience at the pal
ace the heads of the religious communi-
ties, and the ecumenicaI patriarchs made
speeches of congratulation. In reply
thereto, after thanking the patriarchs
and the others present for their good
wishes, the Sultan, contrary to precedent,
spoke at some length, as follows:
All my desire is for the welfare of the
population, without distinction of race or
religion. AS to the detestable and regret
table deeds to which the patriarch allud-
ed, l am convinced that the movement
does not proceed spontaneously from the
population. but is instigated from abroad.
L nope the measures taken will insure
tranquility. | call God to witness the
sincerity of my declaration and that all
my aspirations and work are for the well
fare and prosperity of all my subjects" "
Turning then to the Bulgarian patri-
arch, the Sultan bade him communicate
his works to his flock.
Next, addressing the Greek patriarch,
the Sultan said he regretted that the
Greek population also had suffered from
the recent troubles and declared he would
be pleased to contribute to the subscrip-
tions being raised in the patriarchate on
behalf of the sufferers The Sultan fur
ther remarked that he was very sorry
that some of the soldiers had been guilty
of acts contrary to his orders and de-
sires,
The Sultan personally assured Mon
signor Ormanian, the Armenian patriarch.
that his words applied to the Armenians
as well as to the people of other nation
alities.

bassies and legations, informing them
that, according to police information, the

another anti-Austrian demonstration, due
to the presence of students from those
Italian provinces still under Austrian
rule Bands played patriotic airs and the
hymn of Trieste, while the flags of the
four Italian provinces not yet united to
Italy were carried at half-mast as a sign
of mourning and waved among intense
enthusiasm and patriotic cries.
The Mayor of Udine delivered a speech
in which he said that the demonstration
was a pledge of brOtherly solidarity
among the free and unfreed Italian re-
gions At a certain point in the proceed
ings two or three supposed Austrian spies
were discovered and a tumult ensued. The
alleged spies were seized and threats were
made to burn them alive. The police res
