International Congress Agricuattral
Asoscietion Of the world.
A movement has been started to
remedy these disastrous and growing
evils through the great organization
known as the International Congress Of
Agricultural Associations of the World
| which has been lately formed.
At the recent meeting of the Congress
Of Agricultural Associations of the
World held at Paris. France, In July
1900, this general plan was outlined
and received with much enthusiasm,
provisional organization was effected
and the proposition Is now given to the
Agricultural Associations of the differ
ent nations of the world to pass on 1t
officially, which will be the next step
in the permanent establishment of the
International Association.
The scope, character and elasticity Of
the association will enable it to adapt
itself to the local conditions of all ma
| tions, as it absolutely prohibits the in
terference of any associations outside of
their respective nations with matters
pertaining to the nation affected. We
require no allegiance from the farmers
of any nation except their support of
conditions that will make the industry
in their own country more prosperous,
believing that the condition which will
make the Russian or German farmer
more prosperous in his own country
will be enjoyed by the French and
American farmer to the extent that this
prosperity will enable the Russian
farmer to consume his own products
and relieve each competitor nation to
the extent Of his home consumption
from competing with these nations.
This will apply to all agricultural coun-
tries.
This Association is not a destructive
society, it has no quarrel with other
interests, it is devoted solely to build
ing up the great industry of agriculture,
believing that prosperity will be dis
tributed to all interests in proportion
as agriculture is prosperous. Our policy
is "live and let live"

HARVEST TRAGEDY.
BlOOdshed In Wheat Field Near
The Square.
COlored Farm Hands Engage In
Difficulty And One Of Them
Killed.

A tragedy occurred in Mr.. Jas.
A. Radford's wheat field, near The
Square, Wednesday afternoon
about two o'clock. The facts as
gathered are about as follows:
Several colored hands were at work
shocking wheat, among them,
Stephen Stewart, a brother Lof Mr..
Radford's S foreman, and Grant Pet
tus. Pettus it seems, had been
very careless in keeping up with
bis part of the work, and had been
reproved by Stewart, who, in the
absence Of his brother, was looking
after the work
This angered Pettus and be
threatened to kill Stewart, it is
claimed, This trouble took place
in the forenoon.
When the hands had gone back
to ,work after dinner Stewart re-
marked to one of them that Pettus
had a pistol. About this time Pet.
tus drew his revolver and fired.
Stewart was shot in the stomach.
Hefell and soon become unconscious,
dying in about three hours.
Pettus Immediately fed and go
ing into the neighborhood of Bell
his old home, informed some of his
friends that he had wounded a MAI
and asked for protection. When al
investigation revealed the fact tha
Stewart was dead Pettus was
placed under surveillance and tn,
authorities here notified of hi
whereabouts. Deputy Sherit
Charles Barnes went down to Bel
yesterday afternoon for the pur
pose of bringing him here, wher
his examining trial will be held.
