Washington. Aug. 1.?The German mte on the linking of the American <hip William P. Fryc by the Prim feite] Friedrich, handed to Ambassa lor Gerard at Berlin yesterday, had not been received at the state depart? ment tonight. It was expected to ?norrow. There is considerable speculation tere as to what the German com? munication contains in view of the at ltude taken by the American govern? ment in its last note on the Frye inci det. Germany was asked to recon dder her decision to send the case to a prize court, the United State? maintaining that under the treaty Aith Prussia of 1828, it was a matter .'or diplomatic adjustment. The United States declared it would not recognize a prize court ruling in the case. Should Germany's reply include an mnouncement of a prize court de? cision the United States would not, it vvas said, prevent the owners from ac? cepting the award if they were satis tied. But the American government will not recede from Its contention hat the case was one for diplomatic idjustment. MONSTER TURTLE CAUGHT. i1 Captured by Charleston Roys at Snake Is lard.

The Morning Star, of Wilmington. .V. Ci referring to some statements made in New York papers about the handling of cotton, says: "So far as the South generally is concerned, there is calm here over the prospects of moving cotton this fall, whatever the difficulties may be. Yet one who reads some of the New York papers would think that the South is about to lose its head and attempt to force the administration to do something desperate. There is too much horse sense in the South to think that the cotton growing and exporting inter? ests possibly WOUld conceive that by adding to the world's conllict it would help the cotton interests a little bit. ? ? ? The thinking men of the South would only laugh at the absurd Idea that the cotton interests could help their cause by compelling, under p - lltical pressure, any course of retali? ation in behalf of cotton in the South, wheat and meat in the West, or any? thing in the North. The South is ful? ly aware that this situation is one for diplomacy and not a matter for retaliation, a more or loss puerile Idea involving complications that would bo more ruinous to the cotton cause than oven present conditions and prospects possibly can be. Tin South may lose something on its cot? ton, but it will not lose its sense." The Star, with its usual good horse sense, is correct, but, unfortunately, there are in the South a great many politi? cians and some newspapers and s< me I business men that are doing ? actly I what The Star says the horse sense of the South will prevent this section j from doing. We have too much fool talk loose in the South, and such good horse sense as the Wilmington Star puts forth is not in evidence every? where. If some politicians and some newspapers should be taken as the I Voice of the South, it would Indeed be sad for this section, for they thor? oughly misrepresent its best interests and Would bad it to destruction. Would that every paper in the South could View the matter as sanely as The star dors in tin- editorial from 'which we have quoted. Manufactur? ers' Record. BERLIN HAS BEER SHORTAGE Another Increase in Prices Causes Concern to Authorities?Kcstaur auts and Cafes Hurt. Berlin, Aug. 1. (Correspondence of the Associated Press).?Prospect of a beer shortage, and as its natural resultant, another Increase in prices, is giving concern to the authorities. For some time now the beer produc? tion has been reduced to GO per cent, of its former figures?for the purpose of cutting down the quantity of barley used. At the same time the breweries are required to set apart 20 per cent, of the old production ligure for the army?with the result that Herlin has to subsist on 40 per cent, of its one time supply. Aside from the general public, which either is getting less beer to drink than before, or is paying more for it, the restaurant and cafe pro? prietors are the ones hardest hit. Bvon the raises in prices that have been effective for months have not oompensated for the material reduc? tion in number of sales. As one means for aiding them it now is proposed to stop the sale of bottled beer in grocery and other stores that have other income sources, limit materially the bottled beer pro? duction, and permit the restaurams to handle all that is produced. The sale of bottled beer in municipal or gov? ernment buildings it is proposed to stop altogether as a further means of lightening the load of the restauran teur. A restriction of spirituous liquors so severe that it amounts almost to a discontinuance of their sale is also proposed. On Thursday of last week a bunch of fellows from the Elloree and Par? lors section of Orangeburg county, consisting of six white men and one negro, came to Scott's I^ake, and sein? ed for some considerable time and caught lots of fish, and when the re? port of this work reached Magistrate A. J.

Clears "Root Lcggers'M Retreat of Inhabitants and Bets Eire to Build? ings. , Qsceola, Ark., July SI.?Enraged by the killing of S. B. Maulding, sheriff of Mississippi county, Arkansas, citi? zens today cleared Island :'?7, a "l.jot legge re* 1 rendezvous in the Missis? sippi river near here, of its inhabi? tants and applied the torch to the dozen or more frame buildings which housed the residents of the island. Eight white men and ten negroes wero arrested and imprisoned here and at Marion and 131ytheville, Ark. Tonight extra guards were placed about the jails. Maulding was killed early today in a battle between a posse of officers and citizens and residents of the isl? and, who barricaded themselves in a cabin and contested the right of the sheriff to arrest a negro accused of the illicit sale of liquor. After Sher? iff Maulding had been killed the posse riddled the cabin with bullets. The occupants surrendered alter they had exhausted their ammunition and one of their number, a negro, had been killed. Later a mob of several hundred men visited the island, set fire to the buildings and arrested several men who had escaped from the sheriff's posse. Late tonight the mob had not disbanded, and it was feared an at? tempt would be made to lynch the prisoners. For years Island 37 has been vir? tually a "Xo man's land," because ot a controversy as to whether Arkan? sas or Tennessee authorities had jurisdiction. Geo H. Hurst, Undertaker and Eafailaer.
