Infamous Outrage.

Some time since the whipping of
a colored man in the pine woods
was reported to us, and, imagining
from the report that it was a case
in which some culprit only received
his Just reward for his misdoings,
we jocularly referred to the estab-
lishment Of q "tannery" in the
hills, and passed the matter by.
From the below statement it ap-
pears that such was not the fact,
bnt ON the contrary it was case of
bulldozing and intermeddling with
the rights of inoffensive colored
citizens. These hoodlums should
be made to understand that under
the laws Of the land the colored peo-
pie have perfect right to to organ
ize into legitimate societies:
Black Creek Farmers Union No. s4s.
November II, 1888.
Whereas it has come to ou1
knowledge that on Sunday night
October 2S, 1883, body of dis.
guised and armed men visited some
OF the colored citizens of this
neighborhood who had been organ
lied into a Farmers Alliance, ant
ordered the said colored citizens t.
disorganize and break up theil
union under penalty of being take1
out and whipped or killed; therefor
be it

To raise three bales of cotton
ON two acres of wornout pine lands
is quite an exploit. A correspond
ent of the Leesville Peoples
Friend, writing from Anacoco,
Vernon parish, tells how he did it:
/ will give your readers histo-
ry of the manner in which l man
aged to raise three bales of cotton
from two acres of ground.
First-The land was old pine
land, which had been in cultivation
ten or twelve years, and the last
crop raised ON the land before the
present crop>was oats.
Second-In the management OF
the land, /, in the first place, took
shovel plow and run the rows of
Al feet apart. / then filed this
furrow with fertilizing from the
stables and rakings from the tramp
yard, bedded out on that and then
planted it first Monday in April.
Third cultivated it as follows:
When it was large enough to. work
1 ran scouter plow around it and
chopped it out to a stand. After
this / used the scouter fastened to
a solid sweep, and whenever the
middles became grassy. or needed
work I used the Junior cultivator
running it once in row. | plowed
it again as above, and owing to tht
wet weather, that was all the cult
walton it received.
