BRornER IoNArHAN noprrr1.

Brother II. F. Jonathan. the recog-
nized leader of the forces for right and
the interest of the church was on hand
early, He was not surprised at the ac-
tlon of the mob which had been brought
down, but expressed determination TO
continue the struggle for Gods law as
set forth In the Scriptures. Brother Ed
mund Warner was also active and out
spoken.
The talk OF the most conservative
members OF the church is a study, and
there is no longer any denial but what
the actions as rendered are disgrace TO
the Baptists of this community.

Cotton Seed Meal as Horse Feed.

The Southern Farm Gazette, edited
by Hon. w. c. Welborn, the accom-
plished professor of agriculture at the
A. & NJ. College, discusses cotton seed
meal and bulls as feed for horses as
follows:
The editor of this paper has two
colts nearly three years old that eat
meal and bulls almost as we'll as cat
tie do. They took it up by eating
after the cows when small amounts of
feed were left. 1t seems to be perfect
ly healthy and nourishing for them.
We hear of mules and horses in iso-
lated cases being fed on this food, but
in a great majority of cases horses and
mules do not take to it readily.
We believe cotton seed meal to be
naturally as good food for horses as
for cattle. The horse seems early to
become fixed in his habits of diet, and
being raised up on corn, hay and oats,
he soon gets so he refuses to eat any
thing else. 1t will be remembered
that Texas mustang refuses to eat
corn and will take to meal and bulls
| first. A northern raised horse almost
refuses to eat any hay but timothy,
while southern raised horse will not
eat timothy at first.
We believe if colts are trained to eat
meal and bulls when young, it may be
made a large part of the ration
throughout their lives. III so, feeding
will be much cheapened. There is no
question but cotton seed products In
proportion to their nutritiye value are
twice as cheap as corn, hay and oats,
! for horses and mules.

Mr.. ID. J. Batchelder has bought the

Jan. LIST, and the new owner will build
handsome residence and otherwise
improve his property. There is not a

with handsome new residences. The
latest additions have been made by
Messrs. c. B. Perkins, j. f. Seavey and
T.. M. Bee, jr., which, added to the
stately Seavey old home, the Robinson
residence, the ante bellum home of
the Hoskins family and others of more
modern date, give distinguished air
to that part of town.
We are gratifisd to note that MIR.

purchase property to meet their de-

The Negro Leader Gives Out ~ Statement
in Reference to President Mckinley.
Assassination.

Tuskegee, Ala, Sept. 24.-Booker T.
Washington, Of the Tuskegee Normal
and Industrial Institute, has given out
a statement in reference to the assassi-
nation of President Mckinley, 10
which he says:
'1n all sincerity, | want to ask, is
Czolgosz alone guilty? Has not the
entire nation had part in this great
est crime of the century? What is
anarchy but defiance of law, and
has not the nation reaped what it has
been sowing?
According to records, 2,516 persons
have been lynched in the United States
during the past sixteen years, and
every State in the Union except five
has had its lynching. A conservative
estimate would place the number of
persons engaged in these lynchings at
about fifty per individual lynched, so
that there are or have been engaged in
this anarchy Of lynching nearly $500
persons, to say nothing of the many
organized bands of technically or
ganiZed anarchists. Those composing
those mobs have created disregard for
law and authority that, in my mind, has
helped to lay the foundation for the
great disgrace and disaster that has
overtaken the country.
ITO check the present tendency, it
seems to me there are two duties that
face us: First, for all classes to unite in
an earnest effort to create such pub
lie sentiment as will make crime dis
appear; and especially is it needful that
we see that there is no idle, dissolute,
purposeless class permitted in our
midst
"Second-For all to unite in brave
effort to bring criminals to justice and
where supposed criminal is found, no
matter what the charge against him is,
to see that he has fair, patient, legal
trial.
"At the present time when governors.
judges, the pulpit and the press in all
parts of the country are condemning
lynching and anarchy as never before
is the time to begin the reform.
when the practice of lynching was
begun it was said that lynching would
be inflicted but for one crime, but the
actual facts show, so true it is that
lawlessness breeds lawlessness, that
more people are now lynche ed each year
for other supposed crimes than for the
crime for which it was begun.
"Let US heed the words of our de-
parted and beloved chief, as he lay
upon his dying bed, referring to his
murderer, Il hope he will be treated
with fairness
IF William Mckinley, as he was offer
ing up his life in behalf of the nation,
could be brave enough, thoughtful and
patriotic enough to request that his as
sailant should be fairly and honestly
tried and punished, surely we can af-
ford to heed the lesson"
