: The Disgrace Of sLynching.

The leader Of the Salisbury mob was
d man who had served a torn IN tho
penitentiary, and was notorious law
breaker, according to reports.
Not long ago q moo undertook to take
d negro from the Danvtlle jail and lynch
him for criminal assault, nnd one Of tho
Isrlnglcnders was q man who was suisse
quentlyS arrested and convicted on Q
charge OF having brutally beaten his aged
mother. Il,
+. We do not say that oil mon who engage
In lynching belong to the criminal and
Iglawless class; but when there Is q = ynch-
ling the criminal and lawless element
are sure to be In evidence. A lynching
bee Is sure to rally thcn1 and put them
into uction. Lawlessness is sure to pro-
mote lnwlessness. No sooner had tho
Salisbury mob done its work than the
Slawless element at Greensboro began to
talk OF lynching q prisoner at that place,
Lawlessness is q disease, and Is as IN
fictitious as smallpox. $s
And think OF tho Decentralization OF the
Salisbury 1ynching. Fingers and toes Of
the mon who were lynched were cut off
by some Of those present and carried Oft
as souvenirs And two daughters OF the
man who was murdered were driven to

.Overcrowding in Richrn ond.

Richmond has broken her shell at last
by moving out into new territory, and
no phase OF tho recent and very great
development OF this city has been more
encouraging.
Just one year ago the final vote was
taken In the Council on the question Of
expansion, and Judged by the results
which are already apparent that step
was ono OF the wlscst and most beno-
flcial evcr taken by tho Council.
Tor moro than year The Ttmes-lofs-
patch, ably assisted BY publlc'-spilr1lt'c,'dt
citizens, fought and finally won the fight
for more room, and future generations will
wonder. If they stop to think tall why why
Richmond ever remained unnecessarily
crowded and congested In tho presence
OF an abundance OF cheap and suitable
territory for building sites.
Is A most interesting statement from tho
Bulletin OF the American Geographical
Society. says: 4 ,s
.The population OF tho capital on De-
cenber 81, 1905, was 4 ,025 ,Cb3, al increase
or 747G2 in less than fourteen months,
showing LnuL liz 70 500 NNh'Ns'S
growing. In territorial extent the city SUR
passes Berlin and Paris, but Is exceeded
by London and Vienna, the latter being
now the largest city In nrenS0nI the Euro
pean mainland. b though y Its density OF
population Is less than In many Of the
larger cities. There are In Bucnos Ayres
81 Inhabitants to the }hcotnro (247 acres).
while Pnris has $40, London 145, New York
2O2, Berlin 2s5, Vienna 49, Brussels 2O4 and
st. Petersburg t15 inhabitants to the hes
tare Over Sone-third Of the residents Of
Buenos Ayres, or 320GS9 persons. were
born in tho city, Many OF the inhabitants
since 1895 have moved out Of tho more
crowded districts into tho perlphernl ter
ritory to which electric tram cars af-
ford cheap transportation. while cheap
lands, low rents and purer alr are at
tractiye Inducements, Persons OF foreign
birth form q large majority Of the em-
ployeea, foreigners numbering 40,05l and

Brick or Concrete.

The increasing expense OF construction
has been a very serious item In the cost
OF living. for the cost OF house has to
be paid for by the owner or renter.
Apropos OF this, tho New York Sun points
out tho very interesting fact that since
last May the price OF brick to be used for
buildings has declined about 10 per cent.
f5this decline is permanent, as tho Sun
says, It Will naturally very largely af-

this material. IN ~,
