TEA CULTURE IN AMERICA.

In the current number of the Review
of Reviews, Dr. Rodney II. True sum-
marizes the history and present status
of tea-culture In America as developed
by private enterprise in cooperation with
the Department of Agriculture As in the
case Of silk raising and SO many other
foreign industries. the introduction of tea
was attempted first at a very early
period in the Colonial days. 1.-The most
serious and sustained endeavor," as DIR.
True puts it, however, has been the work
done at 'Summervile, S. c.. by Dr. Charl-
es I. Shepard, a private planter who at
the same time is on the staff of the de-
partment as expert In tea-culture in
vestigations." The government is plant
ing tea In Texas. as are individuals In
the Carolinas with government cooper
alton in all cases 1t appears to have been
demonstrated that from the soil of the
southern States can be produced an ex-
cellent grade of tea with "a charac ter
istc quality in the flavor. High altitude
in the warmer parts OF the Orient is
said to add delcacy to the flavor" says
DR.. True. 1T seems he adds from the
results of tea raising in America that the
effect seen in the tropics due to alti-
tude may 10 a degree be paralleled by a
temperate climate in higher degrees of
latitude. At all events. the Summerville
product is marked by its delicacy of
flavor. Some preliminary tests on the
Texas product seem to indicate that in
the more southern situation tea of
stronger taste is likely to result"
1t has been demonstrated that the
South Carolina trained negro boy or girl
can more than equal the performance of
tho average picker in the Orient,
His wages may be higher than
those of Oriental laborer.who receives
perhaps only ten cents a day, but his
ability TO accomplish results, when pro-
perly supervised, Is correspondlngly
high" There is also new labor-savng
machinery. the patents for which belong
to the department of agriculture. This
machinery eliminates much OF the hand
ling incidental to the making of tea by
the traditional methods.
American tea has the merit CT except
ional cleanliness and flavor of its own.
And we are likely to hear more about II

CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE.

This condition came rs the result OF
numerous and repeated assaults or at
temDted assaults upon white women by
negroes The list Of an even dozen OF
such assaults within the limits of FLl-
ton county within the last nine weeks
came Yesterday when four attempts at
assault We're reported. Flaring head
lines in the special editions Of afternoon
papers wrought the populace TO high
pitch of excitement. The usual Saturday
night crowds were largely increased by
men and boys who thronsed the down
town streets There was no leader and
no overt act until late in the evening.
About ten o'clock a negro man showed
a white woman from the sidewalk on
Whitehall street In the center of the town,
Almost simultaneously a negro woman
made an insulting remark to a white man
on an adjoining street and he admins
tered what he considered due punishment.
From this start the mob began its work Of
dest ruction. Five thousand men and boys
thronged the down town streets looking
for negroes. News that riot had started
brought thousands moro from their homes
In the suburbs and residence districts,
Until fully ten thousand men thronged
the down town sections. The trolleys were
pulled from the wires and in the semi
darkness of the unlighted car negroes
were beaten, cut and stamped upon in
unrea sonjng, mad frenzy. II a negro VEN
tured resistance or demonstrated, 1t meant
practically sure death. One car, half
filled with negroes approached from an
outside run. The mob dashed for the car.
Resistance was made by the negroes who
had not been appraised of trouble Three
negroes lay dead on the floor of the car
when 1t was permitted to move on, and
two more were seriously beaten and UNI
conscious.

NEGRO WOMEN FURIOUS.

In the fighting last night the negrS
women were the most warlike, urging
resistance to the mob and themselvei
lighting like amazons. In the residence
district great anxiety was felt last night
The police force was conferred down town
practically leaving the residence district
without protection. Mary families tenn.
porarily without male protection feared
the possibility Of danger of which the,
knew but little. The fear OF trouble wa.
accentuated by the newsboys' cries II
was a night Of terror to hundreds.
The lawless character Of the mob last
night was fully demonstrated during the
latter part of the evening. When negroe.
had vanished from the streets the mob
from pure wantOness broke windows and
damaged property. The crowd after pull

loss of several hundred dollars. Numer.
Gus windows in stores on Peachtree street
to-day show that the mob passed that
way. A close watch was maintained to
guard against ircendiarism, but fortu-
nateiy this precaution was unnecessary.

ing eight local infantry companies at
once Previously a police riot call had
been sounded surnmoning all police re
serves to headquarters. With the decision
to ca out the troops the big fire bells
sounded the call for every member Of
the militia to report forthwith at his ar
mory. 1t was almost two o'clock this
morning before the first squad appeared
on the streets and at five o'clock six
companies were under arms.
The attacks on negroes had the effect
OF clearing the streets of blacks. Street
hacks were abandoned at curbings driv-
ers on baggage wagons vanished and their
places were taken by white men. This
fear of trouble has affected several pub
lie conveniences to-day. The postoffice
had much difficulty In delivering special
letters; ice deliveries have been scarce
to private homes; la some restaurants
service has been restricted by the alb.
sence of regular walters. Throughout the
day hundreds of negroes have been fee
, ing the city, by train and wagon and
on foot they have hurried from the city
! fearing the possibilities OF trouble in the
immediate future

For more than 1000 years the Bre-
hon code settled the social relations
and governed the conduct Of the Irish
people. In criminal cases the Brehons
were allowed an eleventh part of all
fines, and sometimes these amounted
to considerable sums. The Rrehons
held office largely by heredity. To be-
come a Brehon person had to under
go long and carefully arranged
course Of training under masters who
Ewere themselves skilled Brehons. They
had collections of laws in volumes, in
the Irish language. by which they reg
ulated their judgments. The kings Of
Ireland in those days were lnuniflcent
partons of literature. They founded
colleges for the education of the bards,
whose term ;of study was at least
seven years. Out in the green woods,
beneath the shade of the sacred oak,
these poetic institutions flourished
When the term of study was complet-
ed the degree of Ollamh, or doctor, was
conferred upon the students. Then the
bards went forth and sang the war
songs Of the clans, and the doglnas Of
religion; versit1ed the proclamations
of law. the axioms of philosophy and
the annals Of history. Such were the
offices of this venerated and privileged
class. T..
The different orders of the State
were distinguished by the number Of
