' VOL, xxxvi, THB ATTITTJUX OF TEZ SOUTH. In another editorial we discuss the question of how the South will fare at the hands of the triumphant Roosevelt and his party. We make room here for this Interesting edi torial from the Baltimore Bun of Friday: "The election of Tuesday shows the North nnited, not only in favor of a. candidate for the Presidency, but in favor of the policies of the dominant party. It shows most of the Southern States solid for the Democratic candidate, but on ground! which have Tery little vital connection with- the Issues that oc cupied the minds ef Northern Dem ocrats. What unites the South is not enthusiastic ontjosltion to th Panama canal, which promises the vitalizatlon of Gulf ports to im perialism, which offers a5 market for cotton goods in Manohuria; to protection, wnicn is desired by many Southern manufacturers, nor to trusts, of which the South so far has but few but an instinct of self defense against Interference with the local control of the social-and race question. If the fear of lnterfer ence with domestio questions which do not properly concern the North were eliminated, It would be difficult perhaps to say with positiveneas how the people of the South would stand in reality with regard to most of the Issues discussed during the reoent campaign. If the South Is "solid' it is not in an aggressive sense. It has no desire to impose anv nolicv of its own upon the North. It is solid only because it deprecates a policy of Interference with its affairs which is threatened by politicians in quest of negro rotes. Let the present Ad ministration but cease to excite an- prehension by Crum appointments and proposals to reduce Southern representation in Congress, and there would be no longer the present hud dllng together of States which feel that they are about to be assailed. "To-day the South is the most American and most vatriotia nart of the Union. It its circumstances as respects the race Question are peculiar, this Is not its fault, but the result of historical oauses over which it has no control. It desires only to be let alone to solve in peace me economic problems with which it is concerned. ! It desires to co- operate with the other States of the Union In publio affair, sharing the common life of the nation and par ticipating with the rest in its bene fits. At present the South enjoys a large measure of material pros perity. Its agriculture, mines, manufactures, lumbering Interests and railways are being rapidly de veloped. Capital is being accumn lated locally and outside capital is pouring in. .Movement, enersrv, progress and hopefulnessthese are the characteristics of the situa tion that strike all who travet ia- Dixie at the present time. The Southern people are, In fact, absorb" ed in the industrial problems that confront them and do not wish to be diverted into the barren field of na tional politics. Time was when the Southern 8tates were leaders in this field; but they no longer aspire to such leading, being content to occu py, themselves with their local ma terial interests. The statesman who applauded the red ruin of the recon struction policy on the ground that he wished to reduce the Southern people to such a state of domestic wretchedness that they would no longer be interested in national pol itics suoceeded in his purpose only too well. The losses of the recon struction era are not yet made good. Material well-being is still tne en grossing task. Enjoying harmonious relations with their colored labor, white people hope to achieve this task. To their minds the meddling of Northern people with the South ern negro is an Industrial evil which delays the recuperation of the coun try, in politics tne Azrican is a failure: he adds nothing to the com mon stock of statesmanship, civlo intelligence or administrative effi ciency. On the contrary, he deter iorates everything of this character within the sphere of his Influence. Meanwhile "politics" has impaired his efficiency in tne only field oz ex tort for which he has any pro nounced capacity. For these rea sons, among others, they deprecate interference from outside by those who do not nnderstand their prob lem. If they subordinate all other issues to the race issue it is only be cause they know too well how that issue affects their vital interests. Congressman Jim Hay, of Vir glnia, has declared that "the time has come for the South to refuse to any longer follow the dictates of the Northern Democracy." We appear to be too lonesome now to be getting too "Ciglty" with our friends. President Roosevelt is getting up arbitration treaties right along with foreign powers. This solid end of the Republic will receive any arbl tration proposition that comes to it with proper difference to our pro vinciality. It was a sham'fto count Missouri the other way just to have Preai dent Roosevelt to take in the St. Louis Exposition nnder the impres sion that he will be at home over there.

Returning to Baltimore after a tour of the South, which took him through 11 8tates, General Gill makes the same report that has been made recently by many visitors to that section that the South is pros perous beyond all record in the pe riod since 1861. The good prices received for cotton explain the sit uation in part, but there are many other factors. The lumbering and mining Interests now play a great part; In the line of manufacturing General Gill mentions the making of steel rails at Birmingham and adds that they are as good as the best. His obsarvations were chiefly along the lines of the Southern Bail way, but thebriskneBSof agriculture and mannnfacturing along the lines of that system extends to other lines as well. Baltimore sun.

Bealls Had Barrow Escspe Yesterdsy Morslsf Resi dence DSfflstjef 4 boot $S08. Mr. Henry E. Bonltx.the well known architect, was "rudely awakened" yesterday morning to find his resi dence, No. 711 Princess street, burn ing above him. About 6 o'clock the cook at the residence of Mr. Walsh, next door, saw names issuing irom a rear bed room on the second floor of Mr. Bonus's house. The family of Mr. Bonlls was away at the time, but the cook knew that Mr. B oits himself waa asleep In. the house somewhere. and she ran as fast as she could around to the front door and rang the bell violently until Mr. Banltz, who was fortunately in one of the rooms down stairs, awoke to find the house filled with smoke from above. He had the presence of mind to jump at ones to the telephone and send an alarm to the fire department, which made an unusually quick response. Going to the room on the second floor and opening the door, Mr. Bonlts found the fire burning fiercely and the overhead plastering falling In. The entire fire department responded to the alarm, but the Chemical Engine alone quickly extinguished the blaze, which hsd gained considerable headway. The damage to building and contents is between $700 and $800, but the loss is fully covered by Insurance with the agencies of OoL Walker Taylor and OapL J. VanB. Metts. The fire either had its origin from rats and matches or some one had entered the residence and by striking matches had acciden tally set the house on fire. Mr. Bonltz is generous in his praise of the firemen for their excellent work. Ssolre Belles Removed.

Hannah & Co, the successful manufacturers now operating a box' and shook factory in the northeast suburbs of the city, on yesterday acquired a part of the valua ble lands owned by the Sweeney estate and situated within the triangle form ed by the W. & W. and W. &N. railroad tracks, near the oil mill Of Mr. W. E.- Worth, also In the north eastern section of the city. It is learned from an authentic source that the purchase of the site Is for a party of Baltimore and Philadelphia capital ists, some of whom are Interested in the firm of Hannah Sc Ca, and who will shortly erect on the site another factory, the character of which is not given out just at present. However, It is known that the new enterprise will be entirely Independent of the box factory and will give employment to a large number of both skilled and un skilled laborers. The party of capitalists Interested la the new concern will give out nothing further for' publication than a mere annoueement of then purpose no til after their corporation Is char tered under the laws of North Caro lina, which matter will be attended to in a very short time so that work on the new pUnt may begin before the holidays. The location of the new factory, near the apex of the triangle formed by the two lines of railway, will afford abundant and convenient ship ping facilities for the large business that will be carried on. The movers in the new enterprise were attracted to Wilmington by the success of Han nah ft Co. with the box factory. It is now running full time, full capacity, and is even then hardly able to keen up with orders. The later addition to Wilmington's industrial plants will be welcome and . the publio is assured It will be one of consequence.

Simon at War Yesterday. Africa versus Syria and a victory for the black man, temporarily at least. Such is the story In brief of a lively fight which occurred at Front and Market streets yesterday morning. Jnd Carroll, a negro of good charao ter and courteous bearing, Is employed at Bellamy's drug store as a porter. Yesterday morning he was sent "out front" to get an empty box he had put on the sidewalk ! short time before. He found that the box had been re moved from in front of the place, but Jud was not long in locating what he thought waaUhesame'onein the store of few doors below. He went in the Syrian's shop and laid claim to the box but the 8yrlan aald "nay, nay, and applied something to Jud that he didn't like to take. A scrimmage en sued and Jud was roughly handled by the two mongolians In the store, final ly having been pitched out.on the side walk. Jud returned to the drug store, waa trying to forget the incident and was busily engaged In washing some bottles when "all of a sudden" he saw the Syrian riding up the street on a bicycle toward magistrates' row for the purpose of taking out a warrant for him. The negro could contain himself no longer and rushed out of the store smashing a bottle over Simon's head and cutting his scalp right seriously. Dr. F. H. Russell waa summoned and took a number of stitches la the wound. Jud ran like a deer as soon as he smashed the Syrian, but later he surrendered to Justice Fowler, waived examination and.'gave bond with Mr. Bellamy as surety for his appearance at next term of Bupe rlor Court.

To be sure, the friend carried out the Georgian's Instructions Just as fares possible. When the train roiled under the shed, fifteen minutes late, and the adopted "cracker" was about to step off the platform of the car, he met bis friend to whom he had telegraphed and about twenty others, all upon mischief bent. With grave demeanor and sym pathetic expression, the Wilmington- lan briefly informed tbe railroader that since he knew him he had "reformed" and been mads an officer of the law and that it waa his unpleasant duty to serve upon him a warrant for bis arrest, which was read, the counts be ing "peddling without license," "med filing unnecessarily" and "skipping a board bill," to all of which the Way erosslan pleaded guilty and tried to dismiss the subject. He thought the joke was over and started out from under tbe shed, but imagine his cha grin when he was halted at the drive way, loosed up and saw the door of the police' patrol wagon gaping for hisa. He was disposed to resist at first, but ia a moment he was over powered by the "special deputies" and cast, bag and baggage Into the cage at the rear of the driver's seat. Then Driver Frank Harper gave the word to "Old Jack," the horse.and the wagon whirled np the street to the prisoner's door of the police station. Tbe joke ended there and the Georgian in the presence of those assembled registered a solemn vow that never in tbe future wou'd be bulletin his movements under any consideration.
