3?he Blormug tetc WILLIAM H. BERNARD. WILMINGTON, N. C. Wednesday Morstkg, July 1. ICR. CLZYZLAjm IS WILLI rip. Washington Post: Wo think our Southern friends may safely assume that Mr. Cleveland if now a recep tee candidate in good standing. Of coarse, we do not change oar al ready expressed opinion that his nomination would be fatal to such slim prospects as the Democratic party now seems to hare. We refer solely to the gentleman's attitnde as disclosed by the Bailey interview of a week or so ago and the controversy that grew out of it. As will be readily . recalled, Mr. Bailey's report of the incident put Mr. Cleveland in the position of savin? that it would be absurd to suppose that he had the faintest idea of re-entering public life; that: his dearest hope was to spend the An. tumn of his years in a serene re tirement from the madding crowd, and so on. This did not really bind Mr Cleveland to any thing. He was not made to say ex plicitly that under no circumstances could he be induced to accept a nom inatlon. On the contrary, the way was left comfortably open for him in the event of his concluding to enter the field again. The utter ance really amounted to nothing more than a pleasing but vague gen erality which admitted of almost any construction and would easily adjust itself to any future " action. Indeed, Mr. Cleveland could well have let it pass without remon strance, for it committed him in no imaginable way. His repudiation of Mr. Bailey's report, therefore, can mean only that he wishes to forestall even the most impulsive and hasty assumption, and to ad monish the Democracy that he has no ,ldea. of fleeing from their solicitude. He was care ful to omit the specification of any of the gross inaccuracies of which he complained, and, since the literature of the publication was quite up to Mr. Cleveland's highest standard and the only important matter of fact to which it even re motely related was his high willing ness or unwillingness to receive a fourth nomination -at the hands of his party, we are left no alternative save that of concluding that he wants to have no misapprehension as to his willingness. If there be one who, by any exer cise of ingenuity, can discover in Mr. Cleveland's repudiation of the Bailey interview a significance other than that which we here indicate, an anxious country will thank him for the hint. For our part, we see none at all. SOUTHZXJT KILLS MAKING MOSSY. Savannah News : Notwithstand ing the fact that the price of cotton is out of all proportion to the prices which cotton cloth is commanding the Southern cotton mSls seem to be prosperous. In our Valdosta dis patches yesterday it was stated that the Strickland mills had just de clared a dividend of 3 per cent, for the last six months and had par chased 300 bales of cotton at 13 cents a pound. That is certainly a good record, much better than amy thatrthe mills at the North can show. In the North mills are closing down rather than pay the price cot ton commands. In the Fall Biver district three corporations have al ready shutdown and it is announced that seven more will do so this week. In all parts of New England mills are closing. They cannot make money at the present price of cotton. No doubt by closing until the harvesting of the new crop be gins the market will become quite bare of cotton products, and prices will advance. With better prices for their products the mills can of coarse afford to pay more for cotton. Just at present the outlook for the cotton crop isn't at all encour aging. The weather hasn't been favorable and the indications are that the crop will be short. In that event the price of cotton will not go much, if any, below the price that prevails at present. The mills must have an advance in the prices of their products. There will be an advance, of course, if the price of cotton continues high. The fact that Southern mills are running and Northern mills are closed indicates that the Southern mills have aft advantage oyer those of the North. Undoubtedly the time is close at hand when the bulk of the coarser grades of cotton goods will be made in the South. H lent Wu Her Terror. ."I would cough nearly all night long," writes Mrm.

WILD BEASTS OP CIVILIZATION- Baltimore tfun: Within the last few days one phase of the negro problem the most hideous and dreadful phase has been brought to the attention of our Northern friends in a vivid manner. On J une 15th the daughter of a Pennsylvania min ister, who had recently moved with his family to the vicinity oi w liminR ton, Del., was waylaid by a black brute, assaulted and murdered. This foul deed was committed almost in sight of the church spires of Wil mington, almost in calling distance of the police of the principal Dela ware city. Neither the elevating influences of religion nor the fear of the law were sufficient to deter this monster from committing the hein ous crime of which the worst types of his race are so frequently guilty. Last Monday night, one week after the arrest of the man charged with this infamous deed, a mob, estimated at 4,000 men, battered down the doors of the prison to which he had been taken, seized the alleged crimi nal, carried him to the spot where the crime had been committed, tied him to a stake, poured oil over him and burned him to death. It is deplorable that such a crime as was fastened upon this man, who in his last moments confessed his guilt, should be possible in a civil ized country. It is also deplorable that punishment should be meted out to him by a mob instead of by the orderly processes of the law. That the people of Wilmington were moved to almost uncontrollable anger by the horrible fate of an in nocent and helpless girl; that they should have demanded, prompt pun ishment for the monster who took her life, after subjecting her to the worst horror Imaginable, can readily be understood. It is regrettable however, infamous as his crime was, that they took the law in their hands and did not wait for the properly constituted tri bunal to make the gully man pay the penalty for his heinous mis deed. The action of the infuriated Delawareans emphasizes the neces sity for speedy trials by the courts and quick execution of sentence in such cases. This method of deal ing with a crime which is of start lingly frequent occurrence in some parts of the South has been adopted in Virginia with good results." There is souna reason ior the Denei that a similar method must eventually be adopted in Northern States in which the negro population is increasing, as much for the prevention of out breaks of popular wrath and the usurpation of "Judge Lynch" of the power and functions of the courts as to deter the criminal ele- ment among the blacks from aa- saults on helpless women. Delaware, according to those In fa- miliar with conditions in that State, the criminal and most ob jectionable tppe of the negro popu lation is steadilylgrowing in numbers and in offensiveness. Such an ele ment, unless held under stern con trol, is a menace to any State, espe cially when it exercises political power and is flattered and cajoled by unscrupulous politicians, who attach more importance to the votes of this class than to the safety of the community which is endan gered by its presence. The people of Delaware, for their own protec tion, should demand a rigid and speedy enforcement . of the law against all criminals, especially those monsters whose crimes against defenseless women, unless quickly punished, lead to mob law and con tempt of courts of justice. And when the Delawareans resort to lynch law they should accept the entire responsibility for their irre gular methods, and not seek to fas ten the odium on mythical men from the South and the West.

Soniethiuff entirely novel and, as It seems, quite suggestive is the experi ence of a correspondent of the Garden er's Magazine in obtaining supplies of young potatoes of good quality all through the autumn and winter with out glass or artificial heat. He says: "We grow as a field crop enough po tatoes for the supply of a large estab lishment. When lifted, the tubers ae taken up and kept in some chalk cav erns, of which we have several, and few places are better adapted for stor- age. These caverns are perfectly dark and do not vary much in temperature. The potatoes are placed in heaps and of NEW POTATOES ON OLD TUBEBS. Winter grown in caves. course left uncovered and can easily be examined by artificial light, as may be necessary through the season. The crop of 1901 was a very good one, and about ten tons were stored. We generally give any old potatoes away that-may be left when the following season's crop is lifted. In doing this in 1902 I saw that some of the old tubers of the 1901 crop on the chalk floor were form ing small potatoes on their surfaces. On Aug. 5 the more advanced and promising were arranged one thick in another part of the cave. Over these some finely sifted potting shedsoirwas sprinkled, but not to quite corthem.so that they might be carefullyratched. On Sept. 5 the first dish of potatoes of good size and excellent quality was picked. As everything looked so en couraging we made frequent succes sions to follow on, with the result that we have been gathering, not digging, young potatoes throughout the autumn and winter. "Our practice has been to grow the earliest supply in pots, followed by frame culture. In these cases the plants have to be turned out or dug up, and the very small on's are practically wasted. In our eaves we pick off those that are ready and leave the little ones to cni:vTHso that the old ttibers give a succession. Strange to say, some tubers that had borne a crop after a short Interval showed signs of bearing a second time. We have tried fhem with fairly good results. It is curious that very little root action or leaf growth is made, I may almost say none at all." The next thing will be for some en terprising grower to endeavor to ap proximate the conditions of these chalk caves and start the industry of new potatoes In winter. Sheep and Hoara Hire Paid Well. Last fall when sheep and lambs were going Into the feed Jots by the thou sands everybody figured that fat sheep would sell low in the winter. That was a natural conclusion, and those who predicted large numbers of sheep on the market were correct. February's receipts at Chicago were the largest on record for that month. But the de mand is always an unknown quantity in such enses, and this year it has been unexitectedly good. For the first time on record dressed mutton is being ship ped to England in large quantities, and there has been a good export demand for sheep right along. Thjs, with a large domestic consumption of mutton, has resulted in strong markets and good profits for feeders, who laid In their stock at low prices. Sheep and hogs have paid well for their grain.

Such were the cries heard by those who happened to pass Board of Trade court about 2:30 one afternoon a few weeks ago. In the midst of a crowd of about forty people composed of mem bers, clerks, messenger boys and visit ors were two ragged urchins fighting for all they were worth. - The larger of the two was about thir teen years "old and about 4 feet 4 inches tall, while the other, though probably as old, was considerably smaller. For the first five or six minutes they fought quite- evenly, until the smaller, apparently finding, the opening he was looking for, landeda hard right swing on his opponent" sJiw. This was fol lowed by a few more, and while the larger boy made his way out of the crowd the smaller was greeted with a shower of pennies, nickels and dimes, which he quickly gathered up and was seen no more. In an alley two blocks east two boys met, one rubbing his chin. "How much?" he eagerly Inquired of a smaller boy. "Two dollars an' twelve cents; lemme see dat's one dollar an' six cents each." "Dat's all i right; city hall next; lots of sports dere-only don't come in so strong at the finish." Chicago Record Herald. Protective Color.

Instead of haunting the green, leafy thicket, be of that Bpecies found crawling over the walls of buildings In the city, he puts on a totally different appearance from that of his ow"n kindred in the forest or even in the Interior of houses, being of the exact hue of the ruined stone and mud walls on which he is found, while the house lizard is speckled and of an ashy gray tint, like the ceiling on which he rests and for clinging to which his feet are specially adapted.

For a time it looked as though the market was at last going to pieces. August told down to 12.42, after opening at 12.50, and 'September starting at 1L50, reached 11.38 before the rush of selling orders received any thing like a check.. Accompanying the rumors- of .the clique disagree ments, notices were issued to the amount of about ten tbousTfid bales, and weather accounts were distinctly favorable. Very shortly, however, there were unmistakable evidences of renewed pool support and the market was rallied almost . as rapidly as it had declined. The notices were promptly taken care of, presumably by the bull party and advices received from New Orleans, indicated that the various members of the bull pool were in barmony. A factor in , checking the decline was the crop report of a trade authority showing a decrease in the condition during the month of June and this, in connection with the weekly report of the weather bureau, issued a t mid-day,-aroused apprehensions that the monthly re port of the govarnment due text Friday would show the lowest re- Bort for July condition on record. urlng the entire afternoon the new crop ruled active under these influ ences and tbe list, as a whole, was firm. July sold up to 12.70 and closed 12.80 bid. August sold up to 12.82 or to within two points of yesterday's figures; September 11.75 or five points over yesterday's close. Just at the close there was a slight decline from the best prices but the market finally was very steady.two to 14 points high er on the new crop positions while July was eighteen and August five points net lower.
