Mrs. Edward J.. Berwind, leader
of the swell Newport set, had a shock
ing experience the other day. On the
previous evening she had attended a
reception wearing a gown fashioned
especially for her by famous Partisan

to find that an exact duplicate was
on view in the show window of a New

From London Truth.
The manufacture of bogus antiqui-
ties has attained proportions so enor-
nous as almost to justify one in NAM
ing it among the staple trades or pro-
LESSONS or arts. The choice of a name
will depend upon the cleverness with
which the forgery is committed. Not
only are antique wooden clocks, cabi-
nets and furniture of all kinds made
to order, but original antique mar
bules-busts. statutes, fountains-are
turned out in surprising quantities by
astute foreigners. chiefly to suit the
tastes-and, incidentally, the pocket
books of wealthy South Africans and
American multi-millionaires.
In the neighborhood OF Paris there
are said to be many manufactures of
antiquities, where the business OF
swindling the rich art amateur goes on
merrily.

Lawrence is only a few miles from

mant Col. Monroe and Judga Saw
yer were in the postoffice when Jen-
kins rushed up with the news that the
citizens of Lawrence were about to
hang or burn negro criminal
Col. Monroe mounted his fsvorite
saddle horse and urged him on. Judge
Saver and the postmaster followed in
a light wagon at a rapid but slower
gait. When they reached Lawrence
they saw the Colone surrounded by
q crowd of cheering men. They were
Just in time to hear the closing SEN
fences of a ringing appeal for respect
for the majesty of the law. The pop
ularity of Col. Monroe, together with
the eloquenoe and earnestnes of his
words, had vastly more effect on the
mob than did the weapons in the hands
of the sheriff and his deputies. A few
still demaSs led immediate vengeance
on the tren- bling and doubtless guilty
wretct. but the majority of those who
had been hammering at the doors of
the Jail recovered their senses when
they lieteneS to the appeal made by
Lincolr vile's leading citizen.
The exciting, incidents of this evening
were naturally the topic of CONVERSE

capped the stain Of a lynching," said
Judge Sawyer. You did we'll to hold

1T was because the boys all knew

There were a dozen men in that mob
who served in my regiment during the
war, and when I told them that they
were in pretty small business attack

wlted. A mob is like a horse run
ming away with eyes shut. If you can
get the horse to open his eyes he will
stop running. If you can make men

let's talk of something else.'
What is the reason for these wide
spread manifestations of violence
against the negro?" asked Judge Saw

HEAT INJURED CROPS
The Lack of Rain Hurt Central
Carolina Crops.
Corn Fairly Good---Large Crop Of Fodder--Co.-
ton Injured by Heat and Drought.--Apples
Inferior and Rostng.

The North Carolina section Of the
Climate and Crop Service of the Weathe:
Bureau, issues the following weekly crop
bulletin for the week ending Monday,
August 81. 1908:
THE characteristic features of the
weather during the past week were the
intense heat and drought that prevailed
until the evening of the 18th. The mean
temperature was about 50 degrees. indi
eating a daily excess of from 6 degrees
to degrees, and near the central por-
ton of the State (Raleigh) the daily ex-
cess was 10 degrees. Maximum tempera
ture exceeded 80 degrees every day of
the week, except Sunday, and rachel 100
degrees at several points The period
from the 23rd to the 29th was the warm
est experienced this summer. few local
showers occurred on the 26th and 9th
but the rainfall was quite insufficient
until Saturday night when showers were
more general and the warm spell was
terminated by somewhat lower tempera-
lures. The cloudless sky and intense sun
shine coming so soon after a period OF
cool, moist weather undoubtedly caused
much injury to crops by scalding, espe-
cialy in the central portion Of the State
where there is the greatest seasonal de-
ficiency in rainfall No blowing could be
done this week.
Corn is fairly good, and seems well
cared; early corn is short; late corn by
the close of the week was badly in need
of rain, especially in some central-western
counties where it was just in silk. The
weather was excellent for saving fodder,
OF which a large crop was gathered.
Even cotton has been injured by the sud
den heat and drought in some sections;
rust is prevalent in the southern portion
and shedding is reported in many sec
tions, but only by about 10 per cent OF
the crop correspondents. Cotton Is be
ginning to open quite rapidly, some, 1t
is feared. prematurely, and picking has
begun: the first bales of North Carolina
cotton have been marketed. Cutting and
curing tobacco continues in the northern
counties from Person west to Surry and
south to Guilford, with generally good re.
suits this week: late tobacco needs rain,
some fired a little. Turnips suffered much
from heat and drought and many were
killed. Sweet potatoes, rice, peanuts and
sorghum are doing well; cabbages are
heading nicely; a good stand of late Irish
potatoes was not secured The crop 81
late apples is inferior. much of the fruit
is rotting and dropping.

week She was first at the home of the
murdered girl, Mary Jenkins. and a
friend OF the family. The story told from
the standpoint of a Southern woman adds,
if possible, to the awful offence. Her
story is rs follows:
My Dear Editor: 1 enclose you a de-
scription of the horrible murder commit
ted here, so the world can see why the
men of our country often take the law
in their own hands. Words cannot ex-
press it. Just one week ago today and
one of the most horrible murders on re-
cord was perpetrated almost at our door.
That morning a dear little girl came to
spend the day with my little daughter,
both almost one age. They played as nice
as grown up folks, making doll clothes
and laughing and chatting. Little did l

her mothers order and they never saw

close by to get eggs as she was often in

dragged her body as far as her strength
would permit and then, frantic with grief
the mothers screams brought the people
far and near to the scene OF the crime
We carried her to her home few feet
from the stable and put her on the bed
She screamed and called her darling until
strong men and women wept to think
they could in no way alleviate her suffer

that carried the keys and he was arrested
and confessed the crime. Soon the tramp
ing of many feet was heard and the sound
of voices in subdued tones was waited to
us as we bent over the still cold form of
that dear child with the evidences of her
suffering before us. Soon volley OF shot
from guns, some distance, was heard, and
we knew that it told the tale OF a liteless
wretch whose life was blotted out to
avenge the death of one of the purest and
fairest that earth ever held. oh, God,
is there no hope for us? Must we al
