THE SOUTH ATLANTIC QUART
ERLY.

The current number of The South
Atlantic Quarterly, published at Trinity
college, Durham, is a very interesting
one. One Of it's chief features is a
group of articles on lynching. These
are by Professor Garner, of the Uni
iversity Of Illinois which treats of the
defects in administration of the GRIM
inal law as a cause of lawlessness;
by Professor Glasson, of Trinity
college, and is a compilation of
statistics with regard to localities
of lynchings and the causes which
lead to them; by Bishop Robert
Strange on Thoughts on Lynching";
by Bishop G.. B. Galloway and by Mr..
Bailey, editor of The Biblical Record
er. Mr.. Albert Shaw, editor of Review
of Reviews, has an article on Our
Legacy from a Century Of Pioneers"
Walter H. Page pays a sympathetic tri-
butte to the memory of Professor Chas.
D. McIver. The above are not all the
interesting features of this number,
which make it we'll worth the price OF
fifty cents. The October number closes
the fifth volume of this we'll edited col.

THE Child LEFT ON TRAIN
Parents Named Briggs-Their Identity
KNOWN.

1t is learned here that the child left
On the train a. High Point Monday
night was born in this city. The name
of the father is Briggs, and the mother
claims TO be Mrs. Briggs. When they
reached High Point the members of
the party, composed of the father and
mother of the child and another wo-
man. took separate trains and left the
city that night. It is believed that the
mother OF the child went 10 Aberdeen,
which she was often heard TO have
mentioned as her home. Where the
father and the other woman went is
not known.
The child was first left al Thomas
vile with Mr.. Hundley, but be gave
the baby, a girl three weeks old, TO
Mr.. Knox, a passenger on the train,
who gave it to a woman from Alaba-
ma, who had three children, but was
willing TO take another. She carried
it with her TO her southern home.
The father and mother came here
some time ago and secured board in a
private family in the city. TIL did
not make any friends. The man said
that he was in the lumber business,
and he was on the road a great deal of
the time. When the mother was ready
to leave Greensboro she packed the
clothing of the baby in a different
bundle from that in which she packed
hers. The child when left on the train
was wrapped in a shawl.

IMMIGRATION TO THE SOUTH.

The first immigrant steamer for a
southern port will leave Bremen on
the 18th instant. 1t is the Wittekind,
of the North German Lloyd Company,
and she is expected to land several
hundred immigrants at Charleston. 1t
is to be hoped that this experiment will
prove successful and will be followed
by others. This is the only way We
can secure foreign immigration TO the
south. Those who land at the northern
ports cannot be prevailed on I come
south. Such of them as 40 O remain
in the seaports where landed are gath
cred in by agents of the railroads and
other big corporations and shipped west
and northwest-none to the south. Our
immigration agents stand no show with
the others
This new movement is the result Of
work on the part of South aronlina's
immigration commissioner, who went
to Europe for the purpose Of trying to
turn the tide Of immigration south
ward. 1t was his idea to have the At
lantic steamships come 10 Charleston
on some of their trips. So far he has
succeeded in having the experiment
made.

JUDGE SHAW.

Judge Shaw does not put up with any
such foolishness on the part of grand
jurors Is getting drunk while on duty.
While holding court in New Bern last
week he sen two grand jurors to Jail
for five days and fined them fifty dol
lars each for this offense. He also fined
a defendant one thousand dollars on
conviction Of illegally selling liquor.
Mr.. Shaw is one of the judges whom
viOlatOrS of the law dread. They
know they will be severely punished
if convicted before him. 1t is a pity
that his term of Office expires in Jan
uary. He has done much since he has
been on the bench to suppress crime
in this state. He is severe-sOme peO-
pie thing too severe-buth he is just and
fearless and unprejudiced. Such are
the kind Of judges we need to convince
the people that those who violate the
law will be punished-to disabuse the
public mind of the idea that most of
our criminal laws are a dead letter on
the statute books. When law-breakers
come to realize that punishment will
surely follow violation of the law
there will be less of crime in the land.

WILMINGTON AND RALEIGH RAIL
ROAD. -
The News and Observer of yesterday
under the above heading, contained tn,
following editorial:

The News and Observer of yesterday,
under the above heading, contained the
following editorial:
The through train from Raleigh to
Wilmington via Fayetteville, which is
promised us in the next ten days, will
give Raleigh a seaport, as the compile
ton of the railroad to Fayetteville
gave us water competition. But it is
a new idea. In 1884, now 70 years
lago, the Wilmington and Raleigh Rail-
road Company was incorporated to go
over the same route. Later the ter
minus was changed from Raleigh to
Halifax and then to Weldon, the name
being changed to Wilmington and
weldon Railroad Company, now the
Atlantic Coast line. The men of 1884
were right. There was need for a rail-
road from Raleigh to Wilmington and
after the lapse of near three quarters
of a century their judgment is vindi-
|cated and their hopes are realized.
We would be glad to know that the
railroad officials had decided to put
lon a through train between Raleigh
and this city by way of Fayetteville;
but We can learn of no such prospective
arrangements from persons here who
Jar in position to know if such were the
lease. 1t would be a great convenience
to have such train and we believe it
would become so popular as to be a
paying one. 1t would bring the two
cities into closer association and would
be the means of creating greater
and more intimate relations
between the residents of the states
and of her largest city and chief
seaport; but we are sorry to say the
prospects fer such a train in the near
future do not seem very bright.

The Messenger and Intelligencer of
Wadesboro, in making reference t o the
tearing down of one of the oldest
houses in that town to make place for
a new structure. says the old residence
was found to be of peculiar construc-
ton; there was a single brick wall be-
tween the Notwithstanding and the
plastering, the latter being laid on the
brick without any laths being used.
This is just the reverse of the present
order Of some buildings. where the
wooden frame is erected and one course
of brick put on the outside, which
gives it the appearance of being a reg
ular brick building. The outside ap-
pearance of the old house in Wades-
boro was that of a frame house.

We like that suggestion that the
and dissatisfied republicans
|of New Jersey unite in electing Mr..
cleveland as senator from that state.
That would be the next best thing to
having him for president. We have
never changed our opinion that had
he beer nominated two years ago he
would have received a larger electoral
vote than any man the democrats
could have chosen as their candidate
for president and that he was the only
man the democrats had any chance of
electing at that time. The New Jer-
sey legislature to be chosen this fall
will elect a senator to succeed Senator
Dryden, whose term expires next

It Appears to Have Been Smaller Than
Supposed.
London, Aug. 20.-The Chilean lega-
ton today received a cable message
from Santiago, dated yesterday, read
ing as follows;
"On the evening of Aug. 16 a severe
earthquake was felt between Valpar-
also and Talca"
"The loss of life was not very great.
THE damage to property was con-
siderable at Valparaiso but was less
at Santiago.
Public order has been entirely
maintained.
"The@ authorities and private per-
sons are succoring the distressed peo-
pie and the foreign legations are lend
ing aid
THE north has been wholly unaf-
fected by the earthquake"
Private cable messages received by
members of the Chilean legation tend
to show that Valparaiso did not suf-
fer as much as was at first supposed.
The heaviest damage was confined
to the eastern section of the town and
included the poorer residential districts.
Port and shipping at Valparaiso APP
parently escaped damage.

Minot N. d. Aug. 20.-The railroad
companies have all experienced con-
siderable difficulties with men who are
trying TO get into the harvest fields by
stealing a ride. A story was told of
man who got into a car of lumber
bound for the west at this point 1t
seems that the brakemen locked the
door after the poor fellow was in. He
remained i'm the car for two days with
out anything to eat His extremity in
creased his ingenuity, for by cutting
away the door in the neighborhood of
the lock, he managed to make his es-
cape over in western North Dakota.
This is a time when harvest hands are
likely TO be the victim of a similar
calamity If they are not careful.

WRITES
PRESIDENT TOUCHES SEVERAL
IMPORTANT POINTS.
He Favors a Modified Form of Tariff
Revision That Will Not Iniure the
General Business Of the Country in
Any Way.

81 cIa rork, Aug. 20.--A letter writ
teSIh = resident Roosevelt to Con-
gressTC1 James e. Watson of Rush
vile, Ind. reviewing and approving of
the work of the present congress and
declaring ITO change The leadership
and the organization Of the house at
this time would surely bring confus-
ion upon those who have successfully,
engaged in the steady working out of
a great and comprehensive scheme for
betterment of our social and civic con-
ditions," was made public today.
The president also declared that such
change would result in hurtful os-
cillation between the extreme radical
and the extreme reactionary elements.
The president said also that he hopes
the present congress will enact law
prohibiting political contributions by
corporations, lowering duties on inn
ports from the Philippines and limit
ing the number of hours for railway
employees.
OF the tariff, President Roosevelt
says: I'VE stand unequivocaliy for a
protective tariff and we feel that pre-
nomenal industrial prosperity, which
we are now enjoying, is not likely to
be jeopardized, for it would be too rad
ical to secure here and there small
benefit at the cost of general business
depression, but whenever a given rate
or schedule. becomes evidently disad-
vantageous to the nation because of
changes which go on from year to
year in our conditions, and where it is
feasible to change this rate or sched-
ule without too much dislocation of
system it Will be done while
a general revision of the rates and
schedules viii be undertaken whenever
it SHALL appear to the sober business
sense of our people that on the whole
the benefits 10 be derived to the MAX
ing of such changes viii outweigh the
disadvantages, that is when revision
will do more good than harm. Let me
add one word OF caution, however, The
question of revising tariff stands
wholly apart from the question of
dealing with So called trusts that is,
with the control of monopolies and
with the supervision of great wealth
in business, especially in corporate
form The only way in which it is
possible to deal with those trusts and
monopolies and this great corporate
wealth is by action along the line Of
laws enacted by the press at efs2gress
and its immediate predecessors. The
cry that the problem can be met by
any changes in the tariff represents,
whether consciously or unconsciously.

tion from the only method of taking
