Busy Farmers - Small Attendance
Cattle-Pastures-Pr
Last Monday was Sale Day. The attend
ance was small-very few persons having
come from the country. No official sales
inal. and the business at the printing offices
and the banks was only fairly good.
The beautiful Spring.like weather has put
the farmers to work with great energy In pre-
pairing for the planting OF the crops. There
need be no doubt about the area 10 be pnt In
cotton. Since the Alliance has ceased TO take
control, each and every man seems disposed
to strike out for himself and. with favorable
seasons, there will be no shortage of the sta
pie next Fall.
The planters, as a rule, are we'll equipped
for their work. Many OF them have corn In
the crib and not few have bacon on hand
Up to this time but little Indebtedness has
been incurred. and with the lessons OF the
past In high priced provisions and low priced
cotton 1t il not TO be supposed that they will
again be caught without at least a fair pros
pect for the food crops as we'll as for cotton.
The grass Is beginning to grow In the pas
lures, and there Is considerable enquiry for
milk cows. With good pasture and rea.
sonable number OF milk cows, man is not
badly of, even II meat should be little
scarce. Milk and butter being the finest oi
Iuxuries, and the best Of the liie-giving foods,
the man who has these is well OF.
attention OF our people TO the Production OF
their own supplies, and In nothing has more
been done than in the extension OF their pas
ture lands and the increased numbers OF their
cattle, which, without charge, readily
gather the grass and turn 1t into flesh and
milk. They do this without being walked up
to 90 20 work on Monday morning, and they
never ask to be excused 70 60 to town on Sat-
urdays, and seldom quit their work on any
account-iI the fence is good.

Easter.

Last Sunday was Easter. The day was
perfect Spring day, and in loveliness was all
that the Charming season could vouchsafe.
Religious and devout people had made great
preparations for the celebration Of the great.
est OF the religious festivals. and in all our
churches divine worship was had.
The Methodist and Episcopal churches had
been most elaborately decorated with flowers
and everEreens, and on the walls Of each were
placed impressive legends commemorative OF
the event which Is regarded with 80 much sa-
credness In all lands where the name OF our
blessed Saviour Is known.
The Presbyterian church was not ornament
ed with the floral decorations, but this con
gregatfon set apart The day for the celebration
Of the most comfortable sacrament OF the
Last Supper, and in this way showed their
love and devotion TO the Saviour OF mankind.
The Associate Reformed Presbyterians and
the Baptists also held religious services.
The colored churches were not behind their
white brethren in paying tribute to the risen
Lord. The Methodist church especially was
made as beautiful as possible, and the service
in the churches we're fully up to their stand
ards OF sttractiveness.

nha oo;o1oturo of Teyas recently

The Legislature of Texas recently
amended the charter of Dallas 80 as to
allow "disreputable houses" to be Ii.
censed. Gov. Hogg vetoed, or refused
to approve the bill. He said In doing
so : "Instead of granting any such au.
thority to a city, it would comport
more with public policy to make the
Mayor and Chief of Police and all 9th
er city and county officers subject to
removal by proceeding in the District
Court when they permit gambling
dens or disorderly houses to be run OF
maintained within their jurisdiction"

Have We Reform ?

The TIllman faction has made many prom
ises OF reform, but we believe none has been
effected in the way OF enforcing the law
against murderers.
1t seems that the Governor often saves the
necks of the few whom the Courts cannot
clear.
A man hired negro to kill his father. The
Governor thought him suitable person for
executive clemency. Some two or three other
gentlemen have by some mischance been con-
victed Of murder and the Courts have failed
to find reason TO set aside the verdicts. VIII
the Governor commute the sentence OF WIFE
murderer? It is TO be seen. He will no DOUBT
be asked to excuse Turner OF Spartanburg
from the Inconvenience OF being hanged.
Will he give Communication for the offence OF
killing his brother-in-law? We will see.
We have no opinion as to the Wade Haines
business. He is negro and was convicted on
circumstantial evidence. When a white man
goes scot free on positive testimony, 1t might
look little hard to hang negro ON circum-
stantiai evidence.
But we need q little wholesome enforcement
Of the law against white men-a thing which
has not been done to any extent since 1876
A negro more often gets justice, though he
often gets clear, when he ought to be hanged.

Four From the Same Source.


The four items following are from the
advocate of Peace:
The Austrian Peace Society held its
first annual meeting recently. Ad-
dresses were made by the Baroness Won
Suttner, Prince Wrede, Baron Pirquet
and others, and were listened to by an
enthusiastic audience, among which
were members of the University Peace
Union.
The American Colonization Society,
whose seventy.sixth annual report has
Just been published, has fifty emigrants
to Liberia during the past year. The
Society sent out its first party of colo
nists in 1921, and every year since has
emigrants, the total number up to the
present being 22,235 who have been as.
sisted in finding homes In Liberia.
As might have been expected, the
new peace movement in Germany is
having to run gauntlet Of ridicule.
This will only tend, however, to bring
TO the surface the strong undercurrent
Of dislike for the burdensome system
of miitarism. The Baroness Won SUIT
ner's work is too we'll founded to be
laughed out Of existence by parodies
on her book, "Die Waffen Neider," or
on the journal with the same name
which she has established in Berlin.
The English Peace societies are con-
filming their petition work to the one
practical matter of trying to induce the
English Government to accept the
proposition of the United States to es-
tablish a permanent treaty of arbitra'
ton between the two nations. Mr..
William Randall Cremer, NJ. P, has
given notice in the House of Commons
of motion to that effect, and the pc.
titions are to be presented at the same
time that the motion is made. We
shall hope that entire success will
crown the effort.

No Time for Leyity.

Somebody has told lie on Congressman
Latimer In Washington. He is charged with
being Third Partyite. The Register thinks
this Is no time for levity.
We suggest to correct the Misrepresentation
that Latimer get q certified copy OF his pub
lished letter In which he protested his allie
glance to the Democratic party as long as It
didn't conflict with the Ocala demands. A
copy OF his famous resolutions would help
him, too.
This thing OF weakening the Influence of
our Congressman ought 10 be stopped. The
antis will have enough sins 10 answer for
without bothering Latimer.

pondents are requested to follow the form
which has been used by the Press and Banner

subject OF joke than his death. Don't put
riddles in your pieces, and don't fall to give
your real name. Use short words, and not
long ones. Bought" Is better. than "pur.
chased" and gift" Is better than donation"
Don't say I'VE regret" I'VE are glad," and

MANAGEMENT OF Tulips.

Tulips may remain in the ground
several years without taking up, but it
is far better plan to cut the flowers
as soon as they begin to fade, which
hastens the ripening of the bulbs, and
as soon rs the leaves begin to turn yel-
low, take the bulbs up, and put them
in some shaded place, where they may
remain for few days. Then take
them up and store in cool, dry place,
until the time comes for replanting,
which should be early in October. One
of the objections to leaving tulips in
the ground over summer is, that the
old skin of the bulbs forms harbor
for insects that sometimes trouble the
new bulbs. Tulips grown from seed
are selfs-that is. of one color-in the
cup, crimson, scarlet, purple, white,
or yellow, the base being generally
white, or purple. These, after few
years, break or become variegated.-
