DURING the Congressional vacation
Hon. H. L. MuLDRow, who SO ably
represents the First Mississippi Dis
trict in that body, devotes almost his
entire attention to his farming bust
ness down in Oktibbeha county, and
is taking much interest in his herd OF

that few weeks since close rela-

of Mississippi, at Corinth, is making
preparations to go into stock farming,
and desires to purchase a young bull

obtained at reasonable prices.

We do not know of any vote that
Springer of Illinois is absolutely GER
tain of receiving for Speaker of the
House, except his own, but think it
possible that if he insists upon being
put in nomination as a candidate he
may receive the courtesy of vote
from his colleagues. There are some
very sensible men in the 4Sth Con-
gress from Illinois, however, and we
are very confident that they would
not even give Springer a compliment
tary vote if they thought there was
any possibility of his being elected.

The investigation now going on in
Chicago before the Board of Trade
Directors, in reference to the charge
of "adulterated lard" made against
one of the largest dealers, is calcula-
ted to make our people congratulate
themselves upon the fact that our
Southern product, cotton seed oil, has
emancipated us from the sway of the
lard adulteraters of the West. We
make the following extract from the
testimony published in the Chicago
Times:
During the three hours session
three witnesses took the stand. The
machinist, Henderson, whose testimo-
ny began Wednesday but was not
finished, was recalled. He described
tho mechanism of that part of the
Fowler packing-house where the lard
is made. He told of the steam coils,
vats, agitators, coolers, pans, refriger-
ators, reservoirs, and other contrivan-
COS of the place. To give an idea of
the mechanical arrangement seemed
to be the motive of McGeoch in call
ing this witness, although he was also
asked whether he had seen any tallow
and beef and sleeps fat lying about
tho lard watts, and answered in the
affirmative.
John Cunningham, the man who is
said to have been thrashed by James
Burke, an employe of the Fowlers, on
Monday, then took the stand and fur
nished the sensation of the afternoon.
Gle had," he said, 'been in the
employ of the Fowler Brothers for
four years,and had left their packing
house only fortnight ago. 1t was
his duty to dump the fat into the lard
watts. 1t was his custom to dump
into the same watts certain proportions
of hog fat, beef fat, and sleeps fat
When the receptacles were filed the
steam was turned on and they were
all tried out together. When tried
out, the fats were run out together
into an agitator, where they were
mixed and whitened. Then, after
being cooled, the MIXTURE" the wit
ness said, twas put into tierces mark
ed "James Wright & Co.'S prime
steam lard.'"
Sometimes Cunningham said,
"there was no stock of beef or sheep
fat, and then they were directed to
wheel into the room and dump into
the watts tallow,a large stock of which
was kept in another part of the build
ing"
George Ennis, an Irishman in the
employ of the Fowlers for seven years
up to last week, about the lard vats,
was then put upon the stand. His
story was simply a confederation Of
the former witness. His testimony
was not finished when the Board ad-
journed.

EDITORIAL MATTER.
From Tri-Weekly issues of Friday & Monda,

WAvERLY, Iowa, turned out one
thousand strong on the night of the
9th inst, and took two brothers from
the jail in that town, who were await
ing trial for murder, and hung them
to the branches Of neighboring trees
until dead. The press dispatch from
Waverly, after giving a lengthy ac-
count of the affair, concludes as fol-
lows:
As soon as the boys were swung up
the greater number of those who had been
most active in the lynehing disappeared,
but large crowd remained for some
time and then quilted the grove, where
the bodies will hang until morning,
and until the county coroner takes
charge of them.
The mob WAS throughout very orders
ly one. Not shot was fired, and after
getting outside the court yard no indig-
mites were offered the prisoners. One
man who walked close behind Bill, said:
"We know that the chances are that
the laws of Iowa won't hang them, and
so we take the law into our own hands,"
While the mob was largely composed
of people from western Bremen and
eastern Fayette counties, yet there were
q large number OF the business men Of
this city among them, and no one took
any pains to conceal his identity. The
mob was not boisterous except on one or
two occasions. The boys met their fate
without tremor.
We have no words of condemna-
ton to speak in reference to the
lynching of the Barber brothers-the
the men who took the law into their
own hands were the best judges of
the position and condition of affairs;
and if, as stated, they knew that the
men deserved their awful fate, and
"that the chances were the laws Of
Iowa wouldn't hang them," they were
probably doing the best thing posi-
BILE for the protection of life, peace
and property. All that we object to
is the harsh criticism that comes to
us from the North when our people
like theirs revoke the powers delegat-
ed to judges and juries, and visit
with swift and terrible punishment
the evil doers who put the lives and
fresides of all good men in peril.

The Railroads and Southern
Prosperity.

The most potent power in building up
the material interest of the South, in
pushing forward the car Of progress, is
unquestionably the rail roads. They
are the agents that the capitalists are
using with great effect in developing the
mineral resources and populating and
bringing into cultivation the vast SEQ
tions that would otherwise remain in
wild, unproductive state for many years.
However much some classes may iaveigh
against the eXactions and expressions of
railroads, none will deny the necessity
OF the roads or that they confer great
benefits and advantages upon all classes
and interests. Notwithstanding all this
cry against the railroads, special tax to
aid In building a road can be carried by
an overwhelming majority in any town
or county in the Union.
1t is at this time, when the Southern
people stand SO much i'll need of outside
aid, that the railroads are doing great
work by their liberal immigration pol.
cles. 1t is true that the roads have large
bodies of land which it is to their inter-
est to populate and bring into cultiva-
ton, but If their immigration system
went no further than to open up these
lands to actual settlers, the South would
be immensely benefited. But this sys
lem Affects private land owners as well
as the roads; it has enabled thousands to
sell land on the most advantageous terms
1t would be difficult to estimate the di,
rect benefits that The South has derived
from the practical and successful efforts
OF the railroads to encourage immigra-
ton. Many thousands of energetic, i'll
telllgent farmers, artisans and capital
lists have thus been added to our popula-
tion and millions of dollars to the pro-
ductive wealth of our section.
1t would be well for the Southern
people to consider these facts when the
political damagogue goes out among
them and asks their support for office as
reformer. In every State it has become
popular to abuse the railroads, and al.
most every county has aspirants for Office
eager to redress the wrongs of the peo-
pie and to curb the roads,
Farmers, merchants, artisans and cap
ltallsts, the town and the country, all
need therailroads. These great ucdnt
conriers OF civilization and prosperity
are welcomed by all classes when they
first appear, and they should have the
support of all as long as they are wisely
managed. There may have been inius>
tice to some localities, but Causes OF
complaint are being steadily removed;
indeed. there is marked improvement,
q more progressive spirit, observable in
railway management everywhere. The
interests of the people and ths railroads
are identical; n fact that is being rocog-
nized and acknowledged in oil sections
and especially at the South.-Colunt5uS

Our neighbor of the Aberdeen EX-
aminer urges upon tho Directors Of
the Mississippi Exposition Associa-
ton the proprlety of arranging for a
competitive drill at the approaching
Fair in Aberdeen In! says:
"If the Association feels unable to
offer such prizes as will secure the at
tendance of companies who have made
reputation in similar contests, it should
do the next best thing by providing for
a drill of State companies. There are
at least five or six military organizations
iu Mississippi, and we believe a purse of
vi 200 would secure the presence OF all
of them, besides many hundreds of their
friends and supporters who in all prob-
ability would not otherwise attend"
We think that such an arrange
ment would moro than compensate
tho Directors Of tho Association for
tho expense which they would incur.
If purse of 81 900 were offered for
the best drilled company in the State
we think at least ten or twelve com
panies would compete, and it would
draw numbers to the Fair who now
have no idea OF attending. We hope
that the Directors will consider well
the suggestions of the Examiner and
conclude to offer suitable purses.
We have no doubt that the Colum-
bus RiAemen would be son deck" -

Cotton Seed Oil Mills.

The territory eligible for Cotton
Seed Oil Mills is being rapidly taken
up, and while the demand for the oil
is steadily advancing the scope of
country subject to each mill is be-
coming more and more restricted,
and the price of the seed must nee
essarily increase until they reach
such figure as will to a considera>
ble degree reimburse the planter for
his outlay in making the crop. We
will see this fall a livlier demand for
seed than we have ever known be-
fore, and it cannot be long ere they
will freely command from twenty-five
to thirty cents a bushel, and be
eagerly sought at the advanced price
A few years ago tremendous
outcry was raised by superficial
reasoners against the absorption OF
these seed by the mills, based upon
the theory that this disposition Of
the planters surplus, was robbery
of the soil-that the seed were going
abroad as oil instead of going back
to the fields as a fertilizer. We met
this outcry by the assertion that
crude cotton seed made an indiffer-
ent fertilizer and cne of the most ex-
pensive manures that could be ap-
Piled, and we claimed that it would
be the policy Of the oil mills to in.
crease their supply of seed by turn
ing into the m arket the vast amount
annually given to the field; and that
this could only be done by importing
or manufacturing better and cheaper
manures as substitutes; and we pres
dicted that they would become the
great fertilizer manufacturers and
distributors of the South.
Our prediction has been more than
verified; every oil mill in the South
is now great agency for the sale OF
fertilizers, and while tens of thou
sands of farmers are now using ap-
proved commercial fertilizers upon
their fields who did not think of try>
ing such an experiment five years
ago, hundreds Of thousands of bush.
els of seeds ore finding their way to
market that would but for the mills
waste their precious oil upon fields
that only demand for fattening their
burrows those portions Of the seed
that the miller rejects in the oil
making process, but uses in the com
position of chemical fertilizers, or
sells as food for stock.
We owe debt Of gratitude to the
cotton seed oil mills for their pioneer
efforts in the introduction and gen.
eral dissemination of excellent com.
mercial fertilizers, and for the crea-
ton of u market for a staple that
represents in weight more than two
thirds Of the harvest Of the cotton
plantation, and that will ere long
contribute largely to the payment OF
tie cost of cotton culture.
