WHO will be left to fight the trusts in
the course Of Il few short months if the
present rate of organization continues?
II is generally believed that the agricul-
tural classes are hostile to trusts because
of the seeming impossibility of creating
trusts in that line of industry. And yet
the earliest attempts at organizing trusts
were made by farmers The grange was
in the nature of a trust and worked quite
successfully for a time. The trusts
formed by labor are quite thorough, eff
fective aud far-reaching.
The farmers trust now i'll process of

The race-war at present existing IN
Georgia is largely the result OF the prev
alence of negco eushings in the south
A New York paper has been collecting
the opinions of the various governors of
the southern states in regard to lynch
ings and while all are agreed that lynch
ing is wrong they are also agreed that
there is no way to prevent it. One pa
per suggests that depriving the negro of
the ballot would effect remedy. Just
how this would prevent negroes from
committing the crimes for which they
are lynched the paper does not state.
While we in the north are quick 10
condemn lynching III the south we should
bear in mind that it is not confined mere
" to the south The crimes for which
the negro is generally lynched in the
south are somewhat unusual III the north
while in the south they are OF common
occurrence If they occurred in the
north as frequently as they do III the
south it is quite propable they would be
punished here in much the same manner
as they are there at present. The only
remedy is to provide sufficient law for
the offenses and then enforce it as
promptly and expeditiously as possible
The fear that the law will not be enforc-
ed is behind most of the lynching cases.

In other words, if you will sprinkle
half a teaspoonful of powdered sulphur

Pike County Farmer. Organize.

About fifty prominent farmers of
Pike county met at Magnolia last
week, organized into county farmers
association, and adopted the following
resolutions:
Resolved, That under the present
credit system ard Accent cotton we
find ourselves becoming poorer.
-. That we reduce our acreage in
cotton and raise everything we can for
home consumption.
"3. That we recommend that farmers
produce as much home fertilizers as
possible and discontinue the purchase
of commercial fertilizers on credit.
II. That the furnishing merchants of
this county be asked to adopt a resolu-
ton declaring that after Jan. /, 1900,
they will not sell to any farmer any
corn, bacon or feed stuff on credit.
IS. That we request our next Legisla-
ture to repeal the agricultural lien law.
70. That we recommend that sheep
be exempt from taxation, and that a
tax of 81 per head be placed on dogs.
~. That we can raise our own horses,
mules, cattle, sheep, swine, corn, oats,
hay, bread, meat, potatoes, peas, molas-
ses, sugar, honey, chickens, eggs, milk,
butter and many other things for home
use and consumption, and we encour-
age the raising of same.
'S. That all farmers and business
men of the county, of whatever profess
sion or calling, be invited to cooperate
with us in carrying out the objects of
this association.
80. That the secretary print resolu-
ton No. in circular form and send it
to every merchant in the county for
his approval or disapproval, the re-
plies to same to be presented to our
next meeting.
40. That Prof. w. C. Welborn of the
Mississippi Agricultural and Mechan-
ical College be invited to address us at
our next meeting"
This is certainly move in the right
direction. What say our Lincoln
county farmers and merchants to fol
lowing the same line of policy?
