LYNCHERS TO GO FREE.
Participant in Statesboro Horror
Says No Jury VIII Con0ict.

Statesboro Ga. Aug. 1S.-The question most
discussed to-day is the alleged mismanagemeht
of the troops at the trial of Reed ana CATO the
negroes who burned Tuesday. one wen
known business man, who admits ne had d part
in the lynching said that the plans TO Kill the
two negroes at the end OF the trial, regardless
of what the verdict might be. were formulated
the day before the trial. Excepting that 1t was
not previously determined that burning should
be the method. these plans. he declared were
carried out exactly as made. The same cltlzeh
said that the military authorities have MS name
we'll others who had an active part In the
killing of the prisoners. He said that no graQd
jury would indict and no petit juror in this
county would find guilty any who had part
in the work. Judge DAILY. presiding at the trial
of the negroes. said he could not say what ac-
ton. If any, will be taken TO apprchend those
who had part in the work.
n non-commssioned officer of the local mill
tary company said that two officers of his
company have prepared to send their resigna-
tions to the Governor, and that majority of
the company has asked for dismissal from the
service. Leading citizens are endeavoring TO dis
suade them from this intention. This officer also
declared that the members of the company were
required to give up their loaded cartridges that
had been ISSUED, and that other and smaller
cartridges were issued to less than half dozen
members of the company. He said orders Were
given that there should be firing.
Local men lay the blame the officer in
mand. lie the captain of the Savannah
company on duty here. 1t is not denied that the
mob with the two negroes on the way to the
stake passed within few yards Of the SOL
ders stationed about the Jail. II also is not
denied that these soldiers even then could have
rescued the negroes and held them against the
mob
With the exception of the whipping OF
Clexton. about twenty-five miles from here
ton In this part OF Georgia. The exodus of
negroes continues. and already II has threatened
a shortage in the labor supply in the cotton
fields. where the picking Is soon to begin. Elk
aggerated reports have been sent from here
since the burning of the negroes Reed and Cato
Tuesday. These reports have created the
impression abroad that life and property are
unsafe. The contrary is true. for the lesson
OF Tuesday has made profound impression on
the negroes. II IS TO preserve this condition
that the efforts Of all classes Of whites are d.
reCted.
No organized violence has been offered the
better class OF negroes. Irresponsible maraud-
ers have committed some acts Of violence, such
as the shooting of Roberts. aged negro. and
his son. in their cabin Tuesday night. This
has been deprecated by all. Roberts had lived
seventy years in this community. and COM
manded the respect OF every good citizen. Of
fers OF assistance If II be needed. to subdue the
negroes have come from Brunswick Valdosta
and other Georgia towns.

The Coming Existence.

A recent storm Frustrated telegraph
wires. and for three days New York
City was without communication with
the great commercial cities OF the
South and West. The wireless tele'
graph in another year will be in work
ing order ali over the United States,
and weather conditions will be power
less to interrupt communication. The
rapid development Of suburban rail.
way traffic has got beyond the ability
of the steam locomotive, and the cleo
trio machine is ready to take up the
work. New York's great population
could no longer be hauled i'll steam
cars, and the electric lighted and cleo.
trio motor trains CT the Subway give
relief. The surface # the earth is no
longer able to carry people back and
forth, and the flying machine will re-
lieye the earth's surface Of its burden.

COMMERCIAL REVIEW.

P. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review OF
trade says:
Wall Streets severe action was not
due to any setback i'll the commercial
world, all measures of legitimate trade
showing wholesome progress, and con-
fidence in the future is mistaken. Rail-
way earnings in November averaged Ga
per cent. greater than in the same month
of 1903, and the distribution OF merchan.
disc is sufficiently heavy to produce
freight blockades at several points
Manufacturing plants report increased
out put in almost every instance, except
where inadequate water supply provides
temporary interruption. This difficulty
is most severely felt at coke ovens and
paper mills in Pennsylvania. SeaSonable
weather has stimulated retail trade in
wearing apparel, and holiday goods are
in great demand
Each week there is an increase in the
number of steel mills and iron furnaces
in operation, output steadily increasing
despite the fact that this is normally the
dull season.
Strength continues in the hide markets.
Moderate offerings of foreign dry hides
are steadily absorbed at further frac-
tional advances.
Notwithstanding the sharp decline III
raw cotton the cotton goods market has
remained fairly steady, as sellers refuse
to make concessions OIL goods manu-
featured from material purchased before
the decline. Only urgent orders were
placed at the high level, but the statlsti-
cal position is very strong. One OF the
best features is the export trade, many
mills being we'll sold ahead on this class
of business.
Failures this week numbered 23o in
the United States. against 33I last year,
and 26 in Canada, compared with 20
year ago. :.
