The Westerners Pleased With Their New Homes They Averaged 9300 per Acre in Strawberries Other Hotes. (Correspondence of The Messenger.) Chad bourn, N. C, June 24. After the prosperious season for our truckers and the return of our dele gates from the association In your city, we answer the questions so often put to us in brief. The strawberry crop has yielded an average of "ahout $300 per acre. Some T growers, iwal)$fdr. A. F. Coultas, have gone much above that. The Irish potato and fcean shipments also have been profitable and there has been considerable shipments of other berries. , The northern colony generally is well pleased and toopef uL One who is con servative, says: "I had rather have my 170 acres here than an improved farm In the rich prairies of my old Illinois home." Much land is 'being prepared here and elsewhere for strawberries, to he put out in August and the increase will he near 50 per cent. Mr. J. A. Westbrook, the leading ag riculturist of Mt.

Republican Senators Cancns on the Tariff Washington, June 24. The republican senators decided in , caucus tonight by a vote of 22 to 11 to sustain the action of the finance committee in placing a duty upon hides, but did not pass upon the question of the amount of the duty to be imposed. The committee was also sustained in the rate fixed upon imported wrapper to bsfceo. The only other disputed questions considered were watches and watch jew els, and upon these the finance committee was reversed, the house rate beinsr ac cepted on watchs, and watch jewels being made free. The caucus was held in the Marble room of the senate and was well attended. While the discussion was spirited at times the' meeting was without especial inci dent. The greater part of the time was given to the proposition to fix a duty on hides. Senator Lodge led -the contest against the action of the , finance com mittee in taking hides from the free list, and was seconded by Senators Hoar. Piatt, Spooner and others, while Senators Nelson, Allison and Gear spoke for the duty. The vote was on the general proposi tion to impose a duty without regard to rates. The fixing of these, it was understood should be left to the finance committee, but the expressions were so general in favor of the ad valorem rather than the specific system that the com mittee probably will feel itself instructed to substitue his system for 'the-1 cents a pound ,rate originally agreed upon. There was also a general expression against any increase upon India tanned goat and sheep skins, which the manu facturers regard as a substantial victory. -The debate on the tobacco schedule was confined to brief speeches by Senators Hawley and Fairbanks. The finance com mittee had originally hxed the rate on unstemmed wrapper tobacco at S1.50 per pound, in opposition to the house rate of $2 per pound. The representatives of the leaf growers immediately began a conten tion for the restoration of the house rate, which was resisted by the smaller manu facturers, particularly of the western states. The finance committee yielded to the growers to the extent of advancing the rate to $1.75. Senator Hawley tonight represented the growers in their effort to secure a $2.00 rate and Senator Fairbanks the manufacturers in their attempt ' to hold the original finance committee fig- ures. The caucus decided witnout divi sion to stand by the compromise rate of $1.75. The questions of reciprocity, trusts, Ha waiian sugar, beer, tea and internal reve. nue were not discussed. Impeachment Recommended Columbia, S. C. June 24. Adjutant General Watts, of the state militia May 28th, precipitated a fight between a battalion of infantry and the stu dents of the South Carolina college by ordering the troops to clear the dia mond while the Students were playing a game of ball. Charges were preferred against general Watts to Governor El- lerbe by the college authorities. He ordered a court of inquiry to investi gate the charges. The court today completed its work andr reoorted its findings and recommendations to the. governor. The court finds that Gener al Watts, showed lack of judgment and disregard for the rights of others; also that he assumed authority that was unwise and unwarranted. The adjutant general of South Car against General aWtts to? Governor El not subject to court-martal, as in other states. This being the case, the court of inquiry recommended that the gov ernor lay the whole matter before the general assembly in order that it may impeach Geperal Watts. The court further recommended that the gov ernor and commander-in-chief publish a general order reprimanding General J. Gary Watts for" hi serious lack of judgment and disregard of the rights of others." Governor Ellerbe has the matter under advlsement.- The dismissal from the service of pri vate Fishburn who broke ranks and menaced a student with his gun, is rec ommended. Johnson's Chill and Fever Tonic Cures Fever In One Day. State Troops Called For. Jackson, Miss., June 24. This after noon a telegram for Lieutenant Gov ernor Jones was received from the sher iff of Copiah county asking that a mil itary company be sent to Crystal Springs 'to prevent the mobbing of a negro murderer. In the absence of Governor McLaurin, who is in New York, the message was repeated to Mr. Jones at Woodville and up to a late hour tonight it was impossible to get communication with him.V The diffi culty was at once communicated to the Copiah county sheriff who was thrown on his own resources to protect his charge. At 10 o'clock an unsuccessful attempt was made to lynch the negro and later advices from the seat of trou ble state that the people seem still de termined to carry out their purpose.

The Mississippi river commission convened in the army building today and immediately went into executive session to deliberate and possibly make some changes in the annual report of the commission. The report, as soon as rt has been put hi the desired form, will "be forwarded to Sec retary of the Navy 'Long, some time between the 1st and 10th of July. Until t'he Teport reaches Secretary Long, the commission will not disclose its tenor. The congressional appropriation for damages to property from the overflow of the Mississippi river amounts to $2,933,333 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1898.

Taylor, "of Fort Wayne, Ind., was absent. When the commission went into open session, Senator Berry, from -Arkansas, addressed the members. He said that the future of the Mississippi river de pended upon the report which this com mission Would make. If the report -pas favorable a sufficient sum of money would he appropriated to protect the hanks. He reviewed the action of con gress in its appropriation and said that it was only the most strenuous efforts that $2,933,333 had been granted. He was not there to tell the commission how to make 'the apportionment, "but to emphasize the necessity that the money should -be so distributed as to cause no charge of partiality. V Governor McLaurin, of Mississippi, said it was as much the duty of the government to protect one side of the river as the other. The peonle of the levee district 'themselves had expend ed a large amount of money. Two dis tricts alone had' spent about $11,000,000 Up to date and he declared the people were taxed to the limit to protect the levee. Congrssmen Catchings. of Mississin- pi; Baird, of Louisana; McRea, McCul loch and Brunrige, of Arkansas; Dicer. of Missouri, Levy and Williams, of Mississippi also addressed the com mission. - Nearly all the delegates who address ed the board this afternoon dilated on the millions . that had heen exoended since the levees were constructed. They told of the enormous amount of taxes raised to defray the expense of keeping the levees and nearly all of them com plained of empty treasuries, devastated lands and an inmaired credit. They all stated they had gone to the limit of taxation. , . Each delegation had engineers with it. many of whom had made levees a life study. One delegation -said that they had skill and j energy, in'' fact, everything but money. The meeting adjourned until tomorrow morning. The Training Brig Safe. Portsmouth, England, June 24.

The Growth of Mob Law The North is silenced in its regula tion complaints against the South be cause of . the maa't.erv rf lvnAh im The tragedies of Urbana, Ohio, where a negro who assaulted a,, respectable white woman was forcibly taken from the custody of the sheriff and executed by m'otb violence after two citizens had been killed and eleven wounded by the military in ill directed efforts tn main tain the authority of law, and the later u-agwy at i-rincess Anne., iMd., where a negro was executed by k mob last week after he Tiad been convicted and sentenced to death for feloniously assaulting a white woman, furnish im pressive lessons alike to thp north nnrt the iSouth as to the growth of mob law in Dotn secuons of the country. '.While felonious assaults upon women Sn nearly or ouitf all h fimi)io.i-T, States are punished by death, in the rMortnern states it is not a capital onence, out rcnere is even grealter ex cuse for mob violence in the Soutlh than in the North. These assaults come almost Invariably from brutal negroes, and in the South, with its sparge settlements, the unprotected condition of families, and the immense proportion of colored population, it re quires the swiftest and most terrible punishment for such offenses. True if the law is allowed to take its course In the iSouth, the punishment for such a crime ts death, but the penalties of the law have little 'influence in deter ring the ignorant and (brutal class of negroes who commit ' these offenses, white the mastery of mob law does in soime measure territy and restrain them. ' Tt should be remembered, also, that the Increase ,of -mob law during the last few years is not so much the nat ural outgrowth of lawless violence as it is the result of the alarming 'increase of felonious assaults upon .women by brutal negroes. While slavery existed in this country such assaults were ex tremely rare, indeed, almost unknown, either North or South, bait today there is hardly a week 'that does not record the lexecutton by mob law of some such criminal. - It is the Increase of this terriblie crime that has logically in creased the mastery of mob law, and it is well to consider and look squarely in. the face !this fearful truth. It is the duty of every good citizen to demand that the law shall be main tained Under all circumstances, and the public press of the country, both North and 'South, has maintained ft with great fidelity, but it must now be evident to all who intelligently and dispassionately consider the subject, that the increse of this fearful crime must so Impress the public generally that when it is committed In any. com munity, however intelligent, peaceful and law abiding, it is with h,e sTPAtrist .difficulty that the mastery of the law can oe maintaanea. u'to exnioitsons of lynch law In Ohio and Maryland with in a week conclusively establish the fact that there, is no community in the north that can now be trusted to suc cessfully resist mob law in cases of such felonious assaults .upon women. Mob law is igrowing- w1aIv- ,Twvnn.& the crime for which the law seems to rurnisn no adequate restraint or rem edy has been tETOWiner Wifh -annammkr rapidity, and It is best to face the truth as it is. Mob 'law must be restrained because If once established for - one crime, St must steadily extend to other crimes and demoralize the most- law abiding petofole of the world. hui- -Vivor it is to be done?

It has been reported in the newspapers that a power ful trust of all the Austro-Hungarian producers of beet sugar and of thesugar refiners Js being formed, with theobject of raising the price of sugar by about four -pounds sterling per ton. Similar combinations in the petroleum and other equally important trades have been either formed or are tn course of formation. The bill imposes certain conditions on all such trusts, as to the production, the fixing of the sale price, and the restriction of the sale of sugar of all kinds, brandy, beeri mineral oils, ' and other articles- of consumption, and precribes heavy fines and terms of imprisonment up to three months for the infringement of any of its clauses. : All the trusts mentioned are to be placed under state control, to be exercised by the minister of finance, who after having heard the opinion of a standing committee of officials" and prommnt experts, may prohibit the formation of any trust what ever in tnis country, or union witn tne trusts of other countries. He can decline to sanction the general rules, or any por tion of them, of Buch trusts,- all com binations of this sort being legally obliged to submit to him every contract, every statute, and every resolution, and to de fer acting upon any such resolution for eight days after notice has been given to the minister. The latter is also entitled to examine all the books and correspon dence of a. trust and to take the evidence on oath of each - member and of each official of the trust. Finally he can dis solve an already existing trust, as well as forbid the formation of a new one, hla sole guide being the interest of the consumers at large, subject to a careful examination of the conditions of the trade or industry concerned. At the same time the preservation of business secrets is strictly enforced upon all the officials of the minister of finance, and the right of combination among workingmen and em ployers for the regulation of tne price or labor is also expressly maintained. The bjll leaves no loophole for the great trusts, but 1 am arraia tnat tne smauer ones, Jike the combination of the Vienna butchers, will be unaffected by it Vienna Correspondence London Standard. Karly Fashion in weuuing warments. TK Is interesting to note that the choice of white for wedding dresses is conrmarativelv a modern fashion, 'ine Roman brides wore yellow, and in most eastern countries pink is the bridal color During the Middle Ages the Re naissance brides wore crimson, ana most of the Plantagenet and Tudor queens were married in this vivid hue, which is still popular in part of Brit tany, where the bride is usually dress ed in crimson brocade. It was Mary Stuart who first changed the color of bridal garments. At her marriage with Francis II, of France, in is&d wnicn took place not before the altar, but be fore the great doors of Notre Dame she was gowend In white brocade, with a train of pale blue Persian velvet, six yards in length. This innovation caused quite a stir in the fashionable world of that time. It was not, however, till quite the end of the seventeenth cen tury that pure white the color hither to worn by royal French widows be came popular, for bridal garments In England. Boston Budget.
