Please, Aasw1r Back.

You remember the story of the
barber who couldn't keep the secret
of King Midas having ass's ears,
and therefore whispered it into q
hole into the ground. 1t was Il
poor sort of satisfaction, but it was,
at least, some relief TO his gar
rulity.
Similarly, when tie writer is
filed with irrepreSSible enthusiasm
OH some particular subject, when
new idea leaps like Minerva from
Jove's brain, the columns of this
paper do furnish Il medium for it's
communication. But i'll lack Of
immediate response, how much is
it like tie poor BARRIERS hole in the
ground! We say something, -
original, clever, wise or otherwise,
it matters not. No answer. not
a word, either Of praise Or blame.
1t is worse than the barber's safety
valve. Because the reeds did after
wards grow up from that spot and
echo his words. Albeit to his I'M
doing, it was an answer. lie could
mot complain Of unresponsiyeness
from even tEe silent earth itself.
But We do. We pine for answers.
Like the little children, we want
yon to talk back. It's dreadfulIy
dull doing all the talking, and we
shotrld be Delighted to open a kick
er's column for answers, sugges
tions, OF what not, from our readers
Oh current, local matters. 1t would
keep up the interest i'll any undeIs
taking, frequently put a stop to
nrtisances by calling attention to
them, encourage public officials by
deserved praise, or keep down
their bump Of egotism by timely
Censure, etc. etc.
Don't he too meek. Make the
local paper your moutApiece as
well as ours. And when We say
anything, if you agree with us
pray tell us SO, and if not, why
please answer back !

An experiment at the Arkansas
Station to determine the relative
merit of cotton seed grown near the
bottom Of the stalks aass! those
grown near the top, is interesting
to cotton planters. Seeds were
taken from selected b0lls near the
bottom also near the top of the
stal IS. The former germinated
promptly and evenly and Tire plants
grew off rapidly. OF the latter
about one half did not germinale
at all, and the plants that came
FROM those that did were puny and
did not do well. The yields were:
from bottom bolls, 1913 lbs. seed
cotton; top bolls, 100 lbs. per acre.
The latter was much later. There
is no staple crop i'll which so little
care is taken in seed selection as
cotton, and there is no crop staple
Or special, in which careful selections
of seed i'll more important. Farmers

1t seems from the account Oh the
affair in the Valley Record that
Henry RatcIiff, recently hanged
at Gloster was a bad negro.
He began the trouble by shooting
at three white men, among whom
was young Baird, and utterlng the
foulest curses of them and the en-
tire white race, That was Oh Sun
day, and it was not until Tuesday
that he was taken from the deputy
marshal, who was conveying nm
to Liberty, the county seat, Twelve
persons were charged, by the coro,
ner's jury, with having participated
in the hanging. A grave mistake
was committed in taking him from
the officer. Had the lynehing &C.
Cured OH Sunday, the day OF the
offence, 1t would have been some.
what more justifiable. While
! ssorty for the young men imrll,
Gated and though having no know
ledge of their guilt or innocence,
we think that it is hard
that they should b. made scape,
goats fer a crime of which too
many, alas, have been guilty in
the past; yet we do think it right for
the authorities in such cases to do
all i'll their power to punish such
offenders.
