 After dwelling upon the great advant- ages resulting to the southern farmer from diversified crops MT. Stevens said:
 Il think there is no doubt bhat the south as more prosperous today than at any time within the last 30 years; prices have ad- Vanced and our people are more hopeful Mules and fertilizers have advanced 35 per cent; corn, forage and meat are 15 per cent. higher; plow tools and farming ma- chinery are 75 per cent. higher; cotton goods are 50 per cent. higher; so the crop of 19OO-1901 will cost fully 30 per cent more ito market it than did the crop of 1S99- 1900. urge you to sound note of warning right now. Tell your farmers to make small ollls; to buy for cash, if possible; to plant largely for food crops, and reduce fine acreage in cotton even below that of last year The cotton crop of 1S99 that will barely reach 5000, 900 bales, and the average pruce paid thus far has been cents, so that If we again reduce the use of fertil- azerS and the acreage of cotton and produce only S,000.00O bales next season. we may ex pect not less than cents per pound for our crop. But if our farmers go wild again. as they did in 1898, buy everything they can on time and plant the whole earth cotton ana ullake crop or eleven and a half mill Non bales, the country will be ruined, al- most beyond hope Such a crop next sea. son would sell at from Az to cents per pound, and leave us hopelessly in debt"
 Alter pointing out the advantages re- sult1ng to the south from the establish ment of cotton factories the necessity of nlsher education generally, MT. Stevens concludes:
 By all means educate the farmer that me may fill the earth with plenty. enjoy the fruits of his willing labor and make the hearts of all men glad"

AN MOTHERS

Poet Laureate Alfred Austin in New York Independent. "One more embrace! then, O CT the main, And nobly play the soldiers part" Thus speaks, amid the martial strain The Spartan mothers aching heart.
 She hides her woe,
 She bids him go And tread the path his fathers trod. "Who. fights for England fights for God" Helpless to help, she waits, she weeps, And listens for the far-off fray. He SCOUTS the gorge, he scales the steeps, Scatters the foe-awayl away!
 Feigned is their flight.
 Snite, again smite! How fleet their steeds how nimbly shod! She kneels; she prays: Protect him, God!" The sisters smile, the maiden's tear, The wfe's, the widows stifled vail These nerve the hand, these brace the spear And speed them over veldt and vale.
 What is to him,
 Or life or limb, Who rends the chain and breaks the rod! "Who falls for freedom, falls for God!'' And should 1t be his happy fate Hale to return to home and rest; She will be standing at the gate To fold him to her trembling breast.
 Or should he fall.
 By ridge or wall, And lie meath some green southern sod ''Who dies for country, dies for God"

 The bodies of the two brothers of the murderers are still hanging to big gum tree and is directly opposite to that DOT ton of the road on which the crime of yesterday was committed. Hundreds of people viewed the lynched negroes today, many of their own race among the num- Der.

 Last night about 8 o'clock crowd of armed citizens went to the store house, where the prisoners, Reuben Gingery, was under guard in Durhamville, and demand ed him. while another delegation went to the home of the negro family and secured the other brother, Frank, and carried them to the scene of the killing. A most orderly crowd of citizens were in charge, and not a single shot was fired. They informed the negroes that they must pay the penalty of death, and without any resistance what ever they accompanied the crowd to the place of lynching. They refused to make any statement. After the execution the crowd placed a placard on them bearing the inscription: ''These bodies must be allowed to hang 24 hours,

 The plan was to control the issuance of money and to control the railroads and telegraph and telephone lines by the gov ernment when, the resolution sets forth, "the three great trusts for evil known to civilization will have been destroyed and at the same time the causes which have logically and inevitably produced the ag- gregation of great industrial trusts. will be forever removed and the reign of monopo- ly will be at an end.''
 General Roy Stone, who has made a study of the condition of the roads in Porto Rico, was before the house commit tee on insular affairs today. He said the intelligent portion of the population of the island desired above all things free trade and some form of civil government, terri tordal or colonial.

He thought the coffee planters needed help, but that the sugar men could take care of them selves. There was great necessity for edu- cation in the island.
 He gave 1t his opinion that the time with existing mortgages could be forclosed should be extended for two years.
