AMERICAN GIANT.

1t took IA men, with special tackle
to lower into the grave at Preston the
body Of Jesse Amos Baker, who in his
time claimed to be the heavieA man
in the world. Baker, who was pro-
fessiona1ly known as big Billy Ben
no, was a native of the United
States, and had been exhibited all
over Europe and America. He died
in the infirmary at Blackburn from
erysipelas and fatty degeneration Of
the heart
The following are some Of his pro-
portions: Weight AZ stone; height,
feet; waist, 70 inches; neck n inches;
chest 50 inches.
The grave was the largest over
made in Preston 1t measured over
Z feet in length, feet 5 inches in
width and IL feet in depth. The
pitch pine coffin is feet long and 8
feet 2 inches in width. Baker. who
was 80 years off age was a man of
pleasing manners. He had intended
shortly to return to America, where
he had property

and business to our iron and coal and
timber industries.
"A high priced crop means general
prosperity. with it's attendant in
creased passenger travel, boom in
new industries. better homes. better
clothing, better food and better bust
ness in all branches with increased
bank deposits.
Thus the South, for the irst time
since the war, will enjoy the bene-
fits of a record breaking cotton crop and
high priced cotton at one and the same
time, and the result cannot fail to be
a marvellous stride toward financial
and industrial supremacy. For seve-
raj years the South has steadily shown
gains along all business lines, while
other sections Of the country have
done well in staving off recessions
And the resources of the South are
just beginning to be developed. Our
progress has been remarkable, but the
next few years will witness an even
more remarkable progress then has the
past few years. Walter Parker.

SUBSCRIPTION. $3.50 PER ANHUM
SCHOOL BOND ISSUE.

At the next general election the
people of this State will be called up
on to vote for amendments, one OF
which provides for q one million dol
! lars bond issue the proceeds of which
shall be devoted to the construction Of
school houses in the different parishes
of the State. 1t will be remembered
that the keynote of the recent Guber-
material campaign was. extended
education and the scheme was orig
mated bysGovernor Blanchard for the
lifting of the veil of ignorance which
has so long hung over our people, to
our great discredit az we are at the
bottom of the list Of States rs to ignor-
ance and literacy. With this fact
staring him in the face the plan for
issuing bonds to the extent Of One
Million Dollars to be used as above
stated, presented itself to the Cover
nor which has been formulated in an
amendment to be voted upon at the
next election. To the thoughtful
patriotic citizen our educational con.
dition is food for serious contempla.
ton. the restricted accommodations,
especially in the urban districts. do
not provide adequate means for the
education of the children, under the
proposed plan there will be funds
available, if given pro-rata, which
will provide for the erection in each
parish of at least 20 additional school
buildings costing $1,000 eacii With
this additional facility no child need
be deprived of chance to obtain the
rudiments of an education, 20 addi-
tional school buildings in each parish
will be like beacon lights upon a hill
which cannot be hid and which will
appeal to all people to sustain and pa
tronize, will be an advertisement to
strangers, intending citizens, that we
are struggling manfully with the pro-
blem OF education. But strange to
say there is an element that is oppos-
ing this great movement, upon what
basis, or what sane argument, it is
hard to understand certainly the op-
position as yet have produced nothing
worthy Of notice, further than to ad-
vertise their own ignorance and want
of patriotism and a denial to the
children of the State chance to fit
themselves for the race of life. We
trust the friends of education through
ont the State will rally at the polls
and triumphantty pass the educational
and thus deserve the en-.
coniums of the whole country.

DOLLAR WHEAT.

Since about the beginning Of
August wheat has sold for cash at
Chicago for one dollar and upwards
q bushel. This is an unusual event
for the last time dollar wheat was
reached 10 Chicago was in August,
1890.
When wheat sells at q dollar q
bushel, ii means either that that
the crop in this country is short or
that the European crops are de.
fcient aud that the demand from
abroad for bread will be greater than
usual. But little new wheat has
been marketed so far this season,
and If the price keeps up it will put
a great deal Of money in the hands
OF the Western farmers, but it
makes the price Of bread to the
millions Of people higher.
Ii the farmers are being better
paid for their wheat, there should
be no complaint, just as it should
be If the planters of these Southern
States are getting more money for
their cotton. IL however, all the
money is being made or to be made
by spectators, whether III wheat
or cotton, it is a great wrong per.
petrated upon the vast masses Of
the people of all countries. Pea

TURKEYS BACkDOWN.

The appearance Of the American
European squadron at Smyrna few
days ago promptly brought the Turk
ish Government to its senses. and the
| American Minister Mt Constantinople
has been able to satisfactorily arrange
all matters in dispute between this
country and Turkey. The trouble
| between this Government and Turkey
| is Of long standing. and our Govern
ment had become tired Of constant
evasions and excuses The American
Minister at Constantinople vas unable
to secure audiences with the Emperor,
on the plea that he was not sufficient
~ exalted in rank to entitle him to a
personal interview with the Sultan.
After this subterfuge had been over
turned by notification that this
Government would insist that the
American Minister at ConstautinOpIe
should receive the same facilities and
privileges accorded the Turkish Min
lister at Washington, an interview was
granted, but the evasion Of obligations
still continued
The appearance of ali American
squadron at Smyrna, prepared to de
mand satisfaction by force. was a new
departure on the part of the United
States. There existed some misgiy-
iDgs as to just how the matter would
be viewed by the European Powers.
who could not but note with suspicion
the use of forcible measures by this
country in European waters. As
matter of fact. no obstacle was placed
in our way and no objection was
raised. Secretary Of State Hay evi-
IDENTITY made up his mind that a. Euro
pean Powers reserved the right to for. |
chilly collect money due them from
South American republics, there was
no good reason why this country |
should not employ similar means in |
Europe.
Fortunately. Turkey is easily i'm |
pressed by show of naval force, az /
she has next to no navy herself. A |
settlement was therefore promptly ar
rived at, and the American squadron
had nothing to do but exchange saIutes
with the Turkish batteries and sail
away. Picayune.

An excellent illustration Of how
electricity is superseding steam in
many quarters il found in a contract
recently awarded by a shipbuilding
company Of Buffalo. The company
has decided to install electric power
to pump ont its floating dry docks in
the Erie basin. The motors to be
constructed will work the pumps much
faster than the steams engines former
ly in use, it being estimated that the
docks can be cleared in two and one
half hours less time. To accomplish
this s5-horse power motor will be
located ON each side Of the two docks,
and the electricity will be supplied
by cable laid along the bottom OF

THE GEORGIA MOB OUTRAOPS,

The Wfeaking Of popular vengeance
Oh some negro murderers at States
boro, Ga, within the past day or two
had several most unfortunate and ser.
ious features One of these was the
overpowering by the mob of militia
company stationed at the COURTEOUS Sc
to guard the prisoners. The other was
the burning at the stake of two of
the negroes
Lynching is sometimes necessary,
but burning is an inhumaD outrage
that never should be countenanced.
Any community where human beings
are publicly and Intentionally burned
to death is frightfully disgraced. The
laws are made to protect society, and
when the law fails, the people who
are the source OF law may take mat
tiers in their own hands, but all should
be done decently and in order Burn
ing or any other savagery should not
be permitted ON any account.
AS to the soldiers, their failure
must be laid on the authorities. They
were given no cartridges, and were
made strictly to understand that they
were present only for show, but were
not to fight on any account. Under the
they were entirely help
less Soldiers should never be called
out to assist the civil AUTHORITIES un-
less, if occasion requires, they are to
perform the duties of soldiers. To
require otherwise of them is an out
rage upon the military, and is calcu.
lated to subject them to bitter humilia-
ton.
II soldiers are called out to suppress
or prevent mob violence they must be
to shoot, and shoot to kill.
When a mob understands that it will
be shown no mercy it will usually
desist. If it shall persist in it's work
Df Outlawry, then it must be fired in
to. There is on other way. -Picayune.
