simplify them that all can understand,
and that >the masses will be benefited
rather than the few.
We need q change in the lsws, but to
say that the Dem ocratic party is corrupt
is assuming to say too much. The State
government is honestly administered
under the laws existing. The trouble
is in the laws enacted by shrewd po!iti-
clans for self-aggrandizcment, or rather
in the interest of high salaries, existing
institutions" etc, all Of which being an
extravaganza. Beyond this, if there is
anything wrong we have bsen unable
to find it out, and we have in quiet,
silent way, watched closely and studied
infinitely the workings of the Legislature
for the last two years. Now, Mr.. Editor,
we think that when that Convention of
the Farmers' Association is held in
Columbia, among other demands made
there should ibe incorporated in the
platform adopted special demand for q
Constitutional Convention, by which our
Judiciary and certain fundamental laws
could be reformed, thereby making q
better and more economical government
of the State possible.

Warned TO Stay Away.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Feb. 18.-Two
hundred negro emigrants en- route from
North Carolina to Louisiana passed
through here to-day and FIVE hundred
more followed tonight. This ends the
negro exodus for this season, but next
winter the passenger agents of the rail-
roads will take up the work again.
r. L. Williams, who was in charge of
the party to-day, says no sum Of money
would induce passenger agent to return
to North Carolina after negroes until the
anger of the white farmers has had time
to cool. Many of the negroes have
jumped contracts and left the planters
there short of help.
The passenger agents have been blamed
for this, and they have all received
warnings not to return to the State under
penalty of severe treatment or death.
Several of them have been arrested and
were kept in Jail several days, and anoth-
er escaped q fogging by walking out OF
Littletown, in Duplin County, N. O.,
without waiting for his baggage.
Just before Agent Williams left the
State he received the following note:
"SIR--You must leave the State at once
and return no more to interfere with our
labor. You have received fair warning,
and you return you may expect trouble.
COMMITTEE" )"
Williams says that all agents have re-
ceiyed similar warning.

Roasted Cotton Seed.

In last weeks Enquirer was printed q
very interesting article on the above sub.
ject, by Mr.. Greene of Toccoa, Ga, cop.
led from the Southern Farm. Mr. r.Greene
takes the ground, and is backed up by
actual demonstration, that all that is ne.
cessary to convert cotton seed into sconom
ical and wholesome food for all kinds
of stock that will eat corn, is simply to
roast it. He sent US sample of the
meal made from the roasted seed and, as
as he says, it is not all unpalatable to the
taste. Its odor is identical to that of
psrched coffee, while the taste is peculiar
to itself, psrtaking of no suspicion of that
of the green seed. Mr.. Greene thinks
that he has solved the great problem,
"What shall We do with our cotton seed ?"
and itlis.not at all improbable that he has.
He is now experimenting to discover some
practicable and convenient method by
which the seed can be cheaply roasted,
and promises to give the readers of the
Enquirer the benefit of future investiga.

DANv1LLE, VA, February 19.-This
town has a veritable sensation, and one
which is the topic of conversation among
the people. Yesterday, Miss Annie a.
Pollard, beautiful girl of 16 years, and
who had been suffering from typhoid
pneumonia, the outgrowth of an attack
of la grippe, suddenly and to the belief
of those around her passed away. The
body was prepared for burial and the
funeral services we're announced to take
place this afternoon, but before the hour
arrived the notice was withdrawn and the
casket removed from the house.
About 2 O'Clock physician visited the
supposed death chamber, and on an
examination of the body declared that
life was not extinct, but that the young
woman was in trance. The features
aye perfect, the eyes clear and bright,
and there is none of that deathly pallor
which usually spreads over the features
of the dead, and ths body still preserves
its natural warmth. In fact, there is
nothing which shows that the young
woman is dead.
The reportDf the doctor aroused the
feelings of the family, and the funeral
Was indefinitely postponed. Other doc
tors we're Immediately summoned, and as
soon as possible on arrival at the house
went to work according to all the methods
known 10 science to attempt resuscita.
tion, and after laboring for about an
hour and making thorough diagnosis,
gave it as their opinion that the young
woman was dead and beyond human
skill to bring to life. But the family
physician asserts that she is not dead.
The family were not satisfied as to
death, and, acting on the advice of the
physicians and friends, have resolved to
keep the body out of the ground until
decomposition shall put to rest all doubt
as to life or death. During the young
woman's short illness and before the
apparent appearance of the dread mes.
senger, she went into trance and re-
mained as one dead, but after. several
hours in this state came back to sensibil.
ity and was able to converse With those
around her.
Crowds of people of both sexes and
color visited the house during the after.
noon, and as the young woman is lying
on the lounge she looks like one deep
slumber.
The affair has created great sensation,
as it is about the first case of the kind
ever known to have happened here

Who Can Join the Alliance.

.r.
E. P. stackhouse, President of the
South Carolina State Alliance, answers
the question as follows:
Factory operatives are not eligible to
membership in the Farmers Alliance and
Industrial Union.
Country" physicians are only eligible
TO membership.
The "Clerk of the County Court" if
a farmer, or otherwise entitled to mem.
bership, is not rendered ineligible because
he lives in town.
The man who "keeps stables, and spec.
ulates on horses, mules, hogs, etc, )" is not
eligible. although he owns farm.
The fact that town and city mechanics
are now eligible would not justify the
reception of manufactures" and dealer
in buggies, cofins, etc. He should be
regarded as a speculator.

Azremsrkable increase took place last
year in the foreign commerce of the
United States: Iu examining the govern.
mentireports giving this information it is
noticed that during the year the South
Increased Its foreign trade far more than
did the North. The increase in tho
whole country was $135, ,4S9, 1928, nearly,
ione:half Of this gain being due to the
South. In 1883 the value of foreign
exports from all Southern ports was
;$22S, ,681,55S, but in 1889 it had increased
TO $3.50. .54O,2 ,2s6, q gain of s66,s5S,73S.
The increase in the whole country in
1889 over 1883 was IA per cent, while the
increase in the South was 20 per cent.
These figures show an increase in the
products Of. the South that is of interest
to the whole country, and indicate q
progress ia commercial and manufactur-
ing industries that is marked. Ofcourse
the most Of this was cotton and tobacco,
but the products Of manufacture. such
rs iron and cotton cloth, added large
percentage to the foreign trade of the
South.

How it Works In Columbia:

MIR. EDITOR: That "there's many 8
slip. twix't the cup and the lip" and that
this trite aaying is applicable, not only
in love and law, but law. making, also,
is clearly and forcibly demonstrated in
( the Acts Of the General Assembly Of the
State. Now, with this old maxim as our
text, We will notice briefly one other
feature of that address Of the Farmers'
Association. We refer to the allusion
madeto the Senate as being the strong
hold Of. "existing Institutions" and :he
enemy Of retsenchment and reform.
Politics is queer thing. Making
laws in Columbia is hard work. Certain
members of the Legislature work too
hard. Perhaps by and after long and
hard study, through restless hours by day
and sleepless hours by night on the part
of some intelligent, industrious, patriotic,
ambitious member, say Of the House,
ideas are conceived for the formation of
some particular measure to be introduced
as a "bill" which will "bene6t the State,"
"please an admiring constituency" and
and 'tlast, but not least" insure re'elec'
tion. The member from - landa in
Columbia with Eureka" and "Excel.
siorn in his mind, aud all the nebul@ for
certain bill in his pocket. After sun
dry knocking of heads together" eau.
cuses, ETC., the bill is framed, introduced,
attacked, criticized, fought, defended, and
passes the House. Congratulations, II
am the man who killed cock robin"
But 10 at the other end, in the other
wing of the Assembly, sits the august
Senate. Before this body comes the bill,
and in few hours, perhaps, the refrain
of the aforesaid member from - is
changed into "show me the man who
struck Billy Patterson" So goes legis-
lation in Colum bia. So went the bill
to reduce the salaries of State officers and
their clerks, and other bills in the inter.
est of retrenchment and reform. The
passage Of these bills into law seemed
at times to be an assured fact, but the
action of the Senate was the "slip."
In some things, however, it is we'll
enough that one end of the Assembly
ia q check upon the other, for We have
too many laws now upon our Statutes.
One Act after another is amended and
amended until the lawyers themselves
cannot keep up with the changes. The
truth is the State is legislated to death.
We pay ex Judge Maher $4,000 to
codify the laws, and it will take him two
years 10 complete the work. Better pay
him 10 wipe the whole thing out, if it
could be done. It can and should be
done by holding State Constitutional
Convention. Then do away with the
homestead, OF make it so low that it will
protect only the really needy. Have
