RAY FOR PROFIT"

This is the title of a small booklet of
seventy two pages, describing in con
else form the best methods for sup
pressing the common Injurious in
sects and funguos diseases. The book
is from the pen Of Howard Evarts
Weed, late entomologist of the Mississ
ippi Experiment Station, and deals only
with methods that are in general use
and have proved efectual, leaving new
formulas and experiments to the Agri
cultural Experiment stations. It is
neatly printed and illustrated, is short
and to the point, and will, no doubt,
prove what it purports to be, "a prac
teal hand book for ready reference"
The Importance of spraying is we'll
shown by the following clipping from
an exchange:
$500 600, OOO-a big sum of money,
isn't it, That's the estimated loss to
the farmers Of the United States
through injurious insects and fungous
diseases-about 25 per cent of total

THE LA1Esr LYNCHING.

The story from Palmetto, Ga, which
We print elsewhere to day, is shocking
TO every law abiding citizen in the
S0uth. Without any sort of trial, with
out knowing whether all or any of the
negroes we're guilty of the charge
against them, the mob opened fire upon
them, killing some and ~Wounding
others. It was a brutal and ~cOWardly
assault, and there is no other LANGUAGE
that fairly characterizes it. It is an
act that makes the Southern people
ashamed. 1t is an act for which the
whole South must suffer.
When will this sort of thing stops
Never until there is q strong sentiment
in every State against lynching for any
cause. These men were not guilty Of
the uncomfortable offence. The charge
against them was arson, but we have
been trying to impress upon our readers
the fact that so long as lynching for
one crime is justified by the best PEG
pie in the South, lynchiDg for other
crimes will constantly occur, according
to the whim of the mob. The law mus t
be every thing or nothing.-Richmond
