In TWELVE MON1HS.

The writer's with long memories are
finding encouragement in the first an
niversary Of the panic Of October, 1897.
Especially do they appreciate the SIT
uatien when they contrast it with the
first anniversary of 1898. The panic
of that year occurred in July, 1898. In
July, 1894 says enc writer, the indus
trial tide was fairly at low ebb. Even
on the stock Iexchange prices were
close to the lowest of the year; out
side, depression was profound. Labor
was in open revolt, the Railway un1en
had seized the Chicago terminals and
ebstructed traffic; gold was flowing
out; the treasury reserve was imper-
lied ,and on top of all, the corn crop
failed.''
These conditions OF 1894 are almost
exactly the opposite of the conditions
of today, and just as soon as the cleo
tion is passed all are hopeful of seeing
still better conditions rapidly inaugu-
rated.
It is said that conditions IL menths
after the panic of September 1878
more closely resemble those of today
In Septem ber, 1874, there was San evi.
dent improvement in tone and activity
in mercantile circles, a revival of spec.
ulation on the etock exchange, and
steady appreciation in values"

Up to October Is there had been gin

the crop is 100000 larger than last

Friedrichshafen, Oct. 27-Prince
Henry, of Prussia, spent several hours
in the air today as the guest of Count
Zeppelin, whe made an ascension in
his remodelled airship. Not enly did
the Prince thoroughly enjoy his ex-

and compelling it to execute all kinds

GREAT fire LOSSES.
-Four and eRe Kalf Billions in Thirty
Three Years in URited States.

The millions that go up in flames
beyond computation, but the Nations al
Fire Protection Association gives q
very good idea of the enormity of the
losses. 1t says:2
"The national debt at it's highest
point was little over two and three
quarter billions; the property loss in
the United States by fire during the
last thirty-thres years was four and
one-ha1f billions, or an average an
nual loss of one hundred and thirty
six millions. This annual loss hiss
been constantly increasing; for the
first eleven years of the above period
the average was eighty-two millions,
for the second eleven years, enc hun
dred and thirty millions, and for the
last eleven years one hundred and
ninety-five millions, with an average
loss for the last five years of two hun
dred and fifty-two millions, or ever
thirty thousand dollars for each hour
of the year."
millions of dollars in the products e1
human toll swept out of existence in
the brief space of five years is such
stupendous waste as almost to atrophy
the Imagination. This sum squalls al
most our customs revenues; it would
more than pay the dividends of all the
railroads, it exceeds the revenue of the
national postoffice; it is greater than
the production of geld or silver.
sit is speaking very eonservatively
when we say that more than fifty PEI
cent of the fire loss is due to what we
technically call faults of management,
or what might better be known as care
lessness; that is. easily preventable
causes
The annual number of fires in Ameri-
can cities averages forty for each ter
thousand of population, as compared
to eight for each ten thousand of popu.

FORTY MURDERERS.
Their Combined Lives Are Not
Worth the One They Took
Sos ViIlainiously.

Press dispatches from Reel Foot
Lake announce laconically: Forty |
men who have been connected with |
the night riding in this territory are
under arrest and enough evidence has
been secured to hang st least four OF
them.''
This is the grim, yet welcome, sum-
mary of Governor Patterson's work to
avenge recent crimes of this character
in Tennessee and to prevent others. 1t
is result that will be far-reaching.
Of the forty suspects now behind bars,
Garrett Johnson is supposed to be the
ring-leader, while another, Ted Bur-
ton by name has made confessions that
will ultimately enmesh the entire band.
When the courts have made this labor
complete, night riding will be more Or
less OF lost art in that community.
All this could never have been ac-
complished except Tor the governors
prompt, vigorous and carefully plan
ned action. In less than twenty -four
| hours after the murder and attempted
assassination near Union City, he was
on the road leading State militia and
organized deputy sheriffs in search of
the criminals. He flung formal procla-
nations and ordinary rewards to the
wind. Nor did his purpose stop short
of anything less than finding the inner
| most lair of the night riders. The cir
| eumstances of the crime told him that
| roI, iC
thirst for blood was no temporary pas
sion, but a calculating, determined
purpose with authority at it's head and
disciplined ranks behind it. Hence he
struck direct path to find that con-
trolling head. Had he been less decis-
i've or diligent, the ring leader would
still no doubt be in ambush. Night
riding would have received a momen-
tary dectering perhaps, but nothing
like the drastic cure that now seems
awaiting it. Governor Patterson S
method would be we'll worth trying in
Kentucky and other States that may
suffer from this disease of lawless.

It is interesting at this time to note
that Henry Bennett, of Louis willie, , Ky,
has filed suit in United States Cir.

OF one hundred thousand dollars no

SIGNS ARE EN-
COURAGING.
Evidences of Business Re.
viVaI all Through the South
as seen by one Capable
Of Reading their Meaning.

Washington, Oct. 3O-Presidsnt Fin
pany, who has just returned to W ash
ington from an inspection trip Of two
weeks over the lines of the system,
found evidences of improvement i'm
business conditions and of q general
disposition on the part of business men
throughout the South to take hopeful
view of the future. Speaking of the
inform alton he had gathered on his
trip Mr.. Finley said:
''Prices for pig iron are firmer,
their product up. to the end ofthe year,
and the increasing number Of inquiries
for iron warrant the expectation that
orders will soon be placed for bus
mess during the coming year.
Lumber is more active than for
some months past. Especially is this
true of the grades shipped in box cars.
The present demand will DO augment
ed by increased requirements from
| railways, principally for car repairs,
ing with car companies for some of
their heavier repair work.
lone of the most encouraging signs
of reviving industrial activity is the
| increasing movement of steam coal to
to industrial centers. The unusually
warm weather of the present fail is
retarding the movement Of domestic
coal.
"The cotton crop is early, and the
| fibre is moving to market in larger
volume than at this time last year, al:
Though, as q result of the stagnatior
which prevailed in the cotton goods
market, prices are lower than veal
ago. The demand for cottonseed pro
ducts is good and they are moving
freely.
1.-The domestic market for cottoI
goods shows indications of gradua
improvement. Owing to the accumu
Iations Of larger stocks and to othel
causes affecting that market, there Ii
at present little demand tor eotto1
goods in northern China. Aside from
this, the export demand is fairly good
and those mills interested in the nortl
of China trade are looking forware
hopefully to a renewal OF sales for tina
market.
Grain tramc into the Sou th-es
pseially corn-is light. This is due
in part, to the relatively high price o
corn and the low price of cotton, ano
in part to ths fact that at this season
Of the year the south is consuming it
own grain.
"Merchandlse stocks which had bee1
permitted to run low during the bus
mess depression are being replenishec
conservatively, Retail trade in tn
cities is good, but as result of the Low
price of cotton and of a disposit ion b
the part of retailers to buy cautiousl.
for the present, jobbing trade is still
somewhat restricted.
"While some lines of business hav
not yet shown as much improYemen en-
as might be wished, / believe tn 1t con
ditions generally are decidedly bette
than at any time since the beginnin
of the business depression year age
and that we have reason to look for
