In some lines this is attributed to special t-auses which make it likely that high prices will prevail throughout the winter. In other cases the advance Is V-ohsidered by dealers as merely a reaction from vht weak market of several weeks ago. Pork at wholesale lias gone up threeeighths of a cent a pound siu.-e tin election, but is more than half a cant Cheaper than in midsummer. A decline in tln> prices of nil hog products is always expected in the fall, and the fact that it lias not taken place this year is considered by dealers to ho almost equivalent to a rise. In other words, the price of pork now is about one cent a pound higher than it was :i year ago at this season. The quantity in the market is about the same as usual; hut for some reason or other, more pork is being eaten. The inexplicable vagaries of the popular appetite tire well illustrated just now by this market. While all other pork products are advancing In price, ham. usually considered the choicest, is cheaper than it has been in years. For almost the tirst time on record bacon costs more than ham. the difference being about two cents iu the pound, wholesale. The great consumption of bacon by the increased United States Army is re sponsible for much of this, but the , retail grocers. It is said, find very little demand for ham. in spite of its low price, while housekeepers are using more bacon than ever before. Whether there has been new action by the Beef Trust or not. there has been no advance in the price of dressed beef in this city. It is cheaper now at Wholesale than it was six weeks ago. though it has rallied somewhat since me election. Tlie prices quoted by | , one wholesaler were 11s follows: At the end of September, nine and n quarter cents a pound: just before election, eight and a quarter cents; now, eight and three-quarter cents. Dealers are looking for an advance In poultry very soon, though prices have not yet changed. The movement of mutton, it was suggested, may be in the same direction. The cold weather has caused a jump in the price of vegetables, especially peas, beans, egg-plant, and ultra. Eggs and butter are already selling nt winter prices. Itutter costs twentyfive and a half or twenty-six cents a pound, about the same as at this time last year. The best eggs are twentysix cents a dozen, which is three cents per dozen higher than in November. 1SJ?P. A commission man gave the following explanation of the peculiar conditions which have brought about tills advance: "The regular winter falling off in the supply lias surprised us by coining a month earlier than usual. It appears that the hens are moulting prematurely, and have stopped laying. Furthermore, we have not the usual large coldstorage supply to draw from. The storing of eggs is usually a matter of speculation, and last year, on account of the open winter, it was not profitable. Millions of dollars were lost on cold-storage eggs last year, and there ><> mum Hesitation about going Into the snnio enterprise this year that the number stored is admitted to be far less than in previous years."

Tltis atlidavit was given by the notary who acknowledged it. Herbert N. ltabcock. to Joseph 1'. Kustaee, attorney for the Mayor. Miss l.oonic. when questioned concerning the mutter said that Mr. I bibcock came to her with the information that the Mayor was prostrated, and would commit suicide unless she made the retraction, and to save his life, so site thought, she made the retraction. Mr. Itabcock declares that site sent for hi111 voluntarily and dictated to hint the ret met ion. Later in the day Miss l.oonic was visited by J. John llassell. attorney for the prosecution, she having expressed a desire to make an atlidavit retracting her retraction. She said she had made it because of the representations about the Mayor's prostrated condition. Mr. llussctt says that he does not need the evidence of Miss l.oonic in the ease, as lie lias an abundance of other evidence. Mayor Flood, instead of ' ing in a state of collapse, has been about the streets visiting his patients apparently as unconcerned as he was before the arrest was made. NO CHANCE IN THE CABINET. Tti?

John Porter, paid a terrible penalty for the murder of T.ouise Frost, an eleven-year-old schoolgirl. It was (1.2:t o'clock when the father of the murdered girl touched the match to the fuel which hail been piliMl around the stake. and twonly minutes later a last convulsive shudder told that life was extinct. A number of reporters and telegraph operators with portable instruments were with the lynching party. The wires w e cut. and reports of the lynching, in the form of bulletins, were telegraphed direct 'rout the scene of the occurrence. The executioners, who numbered about :t(M> citizens of I.itieolti County, had not the least semblance of the ordinary mob. Their every act was deliberate, and (hiring till the preparation. as well as throughout the sufferings of the negro, hardly an tituiecessttry word was spoken. C.ritnly they stood in a circle about the lire until the body was ctitirelj consumed, and then i|ttietly took their way back to Linton. from whence tliey departed for their homes shortly afterward.

Then a half dozen men hound him with chains. A man dashed the oil from a large can on the hoards. Then the hoards were piled ahout the hoy knee high. The crowd fell hack, forming a semicircle facing the negro. For a few moments there was absolute silence. Twenty feet in front of the negro a hotitire hunted and crackled. Its ruddy light threw him into hold relief. Faces of the men ahout were illuminated hy it. Porter looked ahout. then east his eyes up, and again his lips moved. K. W. Frost, Louisa Frost's father, stepped forward, struck a tnatelt and touched it to the oil. It hlazcd tip, sparks flew into the air and the wood began to crackle. Almost instantly the negro's trousers caught lire. The lianas crept slowly upward oil his clothing and the sparks tlew in a cloud. Porter turned Ills head and tried to keep his face as far as possible front the increasing Dames. iie heggcil and pleaded to he shot. Suddenly the rope holding his hands burned through. Then the arms, head and shoulders slipped through the chains. For tut instant the hotly stood erei t. the arms were raised in supplication while burning pieces of clothing dropped front tlietn. The body then fell over away from the lire, the head lower than the feet, sti'.l fastened to tlie rail. The chain held fast.

I?et us move right straight along and keep in the middle of the road. All is not lost save honor, nor will the north dare to cut down our representation in Congress?such a move would alienai* their new southern converts, for southern Republicans are at heart all lilywhites and have no use for the negro in i>olities. Southern Republicans have been under the ban so.dallv ever since tho war. and they realize that it is because they ;ier allignrd with the negro. Captain uRn'v is right when he says, "but for the negro in politicthe Republican partv would have a good chance to capture and hold the south. The captain is a Republican?a Tennessee in, a banker, and h:is traveled much, and his party up north ought to give weight to his opinions. He is a gentleman, a man of integrity and stands high in financial circles ail over the country. Financially he is a success and liberal with his money but will not take Carnegie's advice and give it all away before he dies. Yes. the nigger is still in the wood pile, and the Joke of it is the nigger don't know it. There are not a dozen negroes in this country who care a Hraw about voting. If the white office sockets would let them alone they wouldn't go about the polls on election day. What is wanted Is to purify tfi(? candidates. If this can be done it: Atlanta why not elsewhere? We all rejoiced over the ele tion of Major Mints, for be ran for mayor as a gentleman and had no heelers. nor would he ask any man for his vote or allow any corrupt electioneering by his friends. He stubbornly re fused to promise anything to anybody, and, strange to say, was elected. Rut the Republican party is growing very fast in this section, and will grow into respectability if they will let the negro alone. Mr. Howry is right.

We want a literature that will not. continue divisions, hut will contain the honest relation of facts, that will unify the youth of this country in ommon npproeii iton of the truths of history."
