TIE EVANSVILLE TROUBLE.
Corrupt Republican Politics at the
Fso1.om of the Race Riots.
at the

A private letter to the editor OF The
Sentinel from one Of the leading men
OF Evansville, gentlemen OF long
residence and Of the highest character,
says, among other things:
The situation in Evansville is truly
that which was described in an edi-
torial in The Sentinel recently, headed
An Indiana Problem and, in my
Judgment, too much stress cannot be
laid upon the fact that all Of this law
lessness is the direct result of the i'm
portation of the vicious and lawless
negro Of the south by the Republican
politicians for political purposes.
The spirit which has prompted the
action Of the municipal and county au-
thorities in this county has been, and
now is. to hold the negro vote. Their
fearfulnesS is that they win lose one
thousand negro voters in the county;
and every effort and energy has been
used and expended for the purpose Of
satisfying the negroes that they will
not be molested, in order to get them
to remain here for the sole purpose Of
usirg their elective franchise.
Il do not write you this letter for
publication, but to apprise you, in so
far as can, of the situation here.
The truth is thatethere is neither
reason nor excuse for ordering out the
militia for Evansville. There never
was, nor has been, any mob spirit
here There were acts Of violence
committed by drunken rioters, both
white and black, which was the after
clap Of Fourth Of July celebration.
The dives and saloons in the city were
open all Day the Fourth of July, all
night Saturday night and all day Sun
day, the 5th, and the real trouble oc-
Cured on the night of Sunday, the
9TH, and had no militia been ordered
out here there would have been no
loss of life.
Politics, as practiced by the Re-
publican managers in this locality. is
the cause Of the trouble here"
These statements come from a
source which entities them to the full
est weight and consideration.
AS the Evansville situation clears
up it is becoming more and more ap-
parent that the root. Of the trouble
lies in the fostering of vicious ele-
ments for political purposes. and the
immediate cause Of the recent dis
graceful occurrences was the inef6ci-
ency and cowardice of the local au-
thOritieS.
What Evansville needs is thorough
municipal housecleaning.

Forty Days of Fair Weather.

Last Wednesday was St. Swithin's
day and according to an old legend If
the day is clear, forty days Of cloud
less weather will ensue. The old
legend runs as follows. Swithin was
the bishop OF Winchester and most
devout man. His death took place in
1882, and, in accordance with his
wishes, he was buried in the church
yard where the sweet rain Of heaven"
could fall on his grave. When the
bishop was canoniZed an attempt was
made by the clergy to remove the
body from the church yard to the
choir Of the cathedral as a mark of
much greater honor, July Is was set
for the removal but when the day
came it rained in such torrents that
the plan could not be carried into ef-
feet. 1t continued to rain for 10 days
afterward by which time the clergy
were fully convinced that the good
bishop. now the sainted Swithin, was
satisfied To have his bones remain
where 1hey were, and they let them
rest there.

CORN FOR PoULTKY-Corn is one Of
the staples as poultry food, and y,t we
can trace a large per cent. of the fail
ures to It's obuSe. If given to fowls
daily it will produce fat and this in
time completely ruins the fowl so far
as laying is concerned, but if fed in
moderation, as change from oats,
wheat and peas, it makes an almost
indispensable supply. 1t is excellent
also for growing chickens, but these, as
with the old fowl, it must be fed
Sparingly. During very cold weather
without corn it is well nigh impossi-
BILE to keep the hens laying, but even
then best results are obtained by par
italy roasting it. For fattening poul-
try for market meal takes first place,
and the work can be acc0mplised sew
eral days quicker than when other is
used When preparing poultry for
market feed all they will eat but
when feeding hens for eggs let corn be
only an occasional feed, or only par
tial ration if given daily. Oats should
be the principal grain food for laying
hens, the corn being used simply as a
change When thus fed it produced
most excellent results.

A Tough Story.

A Columbia, Mo-, dispatch to the
New York Sun says: The Missouri
river flood has given P. c. Nuckles of
Rocheport a new house. completely

Nuckles away from his farm, and when
he returned to it he found on his land
comparatively new house, which was
in good condition, despite its water
journey. There is nothing about it
to Indicate who the OWner is. :"

COMING HOME TO RoOsT.
The North Beginning TO Get Back
Their Lost Chickens.

We do not want the people Of the
North and West to Judge the negroes
OF the South bv the Eagabonds who
are committing all manner Of crimes
among them. There are plenty of
good negroes 10 the South, and the
oues who commit the crimes OF rape
and assassination are the vicious ones
among us. and we feel sure the same
is true everywhere. a writer IN the
Augusta Chronicle says:
The recent brutal outrages per-
petrated by the negro in Indiana.
Illinois, Delaware and other northern
localities furnish happy illustrations
of his marvellous progress in moral
culture during forty years freedom and
would seem to suggest this as an ap-
propriate time for our brethren across
the line to pass around the hat for
another monument to John Brown.
While the collection is being taken
the chair might stimulate their
righteous zeal by singing,
''As we go lyncbing on
to shot gun accompaniment by the
orchestra.
The mills Of the gods grind slowly,
but they grind exceeding fne," and in
the tide of time the chickens turned
loose by bayonet suffrage, political
recognition and wife house hospital
ity are coming back to rooSt in north
ern homes.
They're coming Father Abram
a hundred thousand strong:
They're coming home to roost
Where they rightfully belong.
The writer is neither prophet nor
pesSimist, and yet as the black hor-
ror'' casts the shadow Of its brutal
menace farther and farmer into north
ern hearthStoneS, it may be that even
under the pale of Faneuil Hall there
will come some day dim regret that
Stonewall Jackson fell ere GettSbure
was fought.

complice in the barn. Both were

Thomas, but the prompt action of the

The Macon Telegraph says the edi-
tor of the New York Evening Post
writes as though he were "a profes-
sional negro" and, as every one has
observed, the professional negro re-
fuses to see any wrong on his own side
of the fence. he accuses the whole
white race as responsible for mob viol-
ence, and is disposed to make martyrs,
if not heroes, out OF particularly vile
criminals. This not only does no good
but defeats its own end.

A LADY Re CUED
From Most Perilous Position in
the Yasemite Valley.

Mrs. A. E. Johns, of New York
City, who has been staying in the
Yasemite valley fer a few days, was
found Tuesday morning in steep
crevasse back Of Sentinel Dome. Mon
day Mrs. Johns started from Glacier
Point hotel to walk to Fissures, To-
Gated some two miles from the hotel,
and did not return Monday night.
Early Tuesday morning Mr. Potter, a
hotel clerk, vino was member Of one.
of the searching bodies who started
out to look for her, discovered her al
most lifeless form on a ledge that jut-.
ted out from the~steep side of the Sen
tinel fssure.
Her rescue from the perilous posi-
tion was attended with great difficult.
ty. A rope was securely tied around;
Mrs. Johns waist and an effort made
to help her to tie rim above. This.
attempt proved futile because Of Mrs.
Johns weight. Fly leaning over the.
abrupt precipice Mr.. Potter could dis
cern another and larger ledge hun
dred feet below from which was a;
sheer drop ut hundreds Of feet. He:
determined 70 try this plan OF rescue:
Giving the order to those above to
lower the rope Mr. Potter swung the
inanimate form If Mrs. johns out from:
the tiny strip Of rock upon which She
had braced herself for fifteen hours;
and by swinging the rope to and fro
Mr.. Potter was able to lodge the body:
Of Mrs. Johns on the larger ledge.
He then descended himself. Calling:
to one OF the mountain guides above:
Mr.. Potter had him drop the rope to-
the ledge upon which all three were:
now resting. Then the two picked
up Mrs. Johns and together they made:
their difficult way around dangerous
ledges and over precipices beneath un-
til, almost worn out, they finally
reached the rim above once more.
Mrs. Johns is suffering much from
nervous shock, but as no bones were.
fractured she will recover. She is a.
woman Of prominence in New York
and expected soon to start for Japan.

HOW CROPS FARED.
Heat Not Excessive at Any Time
During the Past Week.

Section Direction T. w. Bauer had
issued the following report Of the crops
and weather for the past week:
The week ending S a. M, Monday
July 18th, had mean temperature Of
so degrees, which is practically nor,
NAL. The heat was not excessive al
any time, nor was there wide daily
range between the day and the night
temperatures. These conditions were
favorable on crops, but there was
deficiency in sunshine over the east
ern and central parts that was harm
full to Z. slight extent.
HEAVY RAINS IN SOME COUNTIES.
Locally, there was excessive precipi-
tation in Edgetield, Marion, Marlboro
and Saluda counties and almost daily
excessive rains from the Savannah val
ley in Barnwell and Hampton north-
ward to southern Clarendon and WI
liamsburg counties, and in western
Sumter. In this part Of the State the
rainfall amounted to from 3 to over 6
inches. This area includes the region
Of heaviest rainfall during June when
it amounted to from 10 to Is inches.
The rains in other parts were beneh.
cial, and some places in the northern
parts are in need Of more rain. The
weeks average for the State was 200
inches.
The weeks weather was favorable:
for crop growth and development, With
the above exception, aud for farm
work, cultivation having made cOnsid.
erable progress. especially in the west
ern counties.
With the exception OF a number Of
localities that report the contrary. clG
corn is a fair crop and is about laid by
in clean condition. Much corn vas
destroyed on low lands where the rains
were excessive. Young corn has good
color and looks promising.
COTTON GENERALLY IMPROVED.
There; was general improvement in
cotton, though some sections failed TO
share in it. but reports from most Sec
tions indicate that the plants are max
ing rapid growth, too rapid for proper
fruitage in the Pee Dee counties,
though they are still small and late in
blooming. Blooms are mere con- mon
than last week. Lice remains On very
young cotton, in spots, but they no
longer threaten injury. IL the western
counties most fields are clean. but
grassy fields is Uhe prevailing condi-
tion in the eastern ones. Cotton is
poorest. and yellow. on sandy lands.
but most Of it has healthy color. es-
pecially sea island cotton.
Tobacco curing continues and the
crop as a whole has improved Melon
shipment are not heavy. as the crop is
light as yet. Planting fall truck
crops is underway Mino crops con-
tinue to thrive. Peaches still rotting.
Other fruits fairly plentiful. Pastures
are excellent. Farm laborers are scarce
in many parts Of the State.
