There is Danger in Throwing Away Law
and Order and Drifting Toward Lawless-
ness"
Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
In view of the numerous lynch
ings, / think something should be
said in the papers about it.
think the punishment cannot be
too severe for criminals who commit
rape, and when they have been
legally convicted, they should be
punished immediately, hung, burned,
or something of the kind, though
hanging would be a more civilized
mode of punishment than any other.
I know the aggravation is great
where the crime is committed, and
how the immediate relatives and
neighbors feel about is. And vet,
when people violate the law openly,
/ think it the duty of executive Off
GERS, sheriffs, mayors of cities, and
Governors, to see that the law is
executed. We have bad people in all
races who are glad TO have an excuse
TO disobey the law, and our people
are sowing the seeds of disobedience
and disaster of which our children
in ten to twenty years will 9 the
disastrous fruits a great deal more
than we do. And the better element
of both races should use all influence
possible to keep people from commit
ting crime for which men are lynched,
then when the crime is committed
help the officers arrest the criminal,
telegraph the Governor, and nodoubt
he will send a Judge and convene
court Immediately. If the nan tried
is found guilty, have him hung i'm
mediately. In that case the ends of
justice have been reached, and have
been reached legally.
Our best people should speak out,
and do all possible to try and arrest
the idea that we can take the law in
our hands, and never be refined up in
court about it. All races, and espe,
oially the good people of all races,
should do all possible to live together
in harmony. We have the best Gle,
ment, the medium element, and the
bad element, in each and every race,
And the two better grades of citi,
zens should especially try to uphold
the law. I write this hoping that it
may awaken in our peoples minds
the danger of throwing away law
and order, and drifting toward law,
lessness. D, L. GORE.

sKLF-KVIDENT TRUTHS AS TO COTTON
SEED.


correspondence OF The Progressive Farmer.
Other things being equal, a de-
Grease in supply should increase the
price. Then inasmuch as official re-
ports show that there is at least a 80
g cent. shortage in the cotton crop
for this year, the farmer ought 80
expect a corresponding increase ia
the price of his cotton and his seed.
Again, an increase in demand
should increase the price. We learn
likewise through official channels
that the corn and forage crops of the
great West are reduced from 30 TO
60 per cent. below what they were
last year This will so greatly in
crease the price of these products
and their by-products as to tend
greatly to increase the demand for
the best substitutes for these prod
uots, which are known TO be the
products of the cotton seed.
Then, these statements being true,
we have two of the very strongest
self. evident reasons why the products
of the cotton plant, especially the
seed, should bring to the farmer at
least so, if not 100 OF o per cent,
more than ever before. They have
sold in this State for 80 cents per
bushel in the past. With present
natural causes and conditions, what
will they bring?
lam glad The Progressive Farmer
is stirring this question. If the
farmers do not take prompt steps to
protect their own rights, they may
expect TO get less for their cotton
seed this year than they did last,
and the trusts will laugh at their
folly and pocket the profits, large
profits from both ends.

PRESS COMMENT ON THE ALLIANCE
COTTON SEED MOVEMENT.

Raleigh Post: We publish else
where an address to the Cotton Farm
ers and Ginners of North Carolina
by Mr. T. B. Parker, Business Agent
of the State Farmers Alliance, which
is worthy of careful consideration
by those addressed. Mr.. Parker
states conditions which are obvious,
which conditions justify the cotton
grower in demanding the full value
OF his crop. We commend it to our
cotton growing friends.
THESE R THE FACTS.
Raleigh Cor. Charlotte Observer :
The movement 80 have cotton farm
ers hold county meetings September
21st and send delegates to a State
meeting here September 25th in or
der to take steps to secure a higher
price for their cotton seed is import
ant. 1t is beyond question that the
demand for cotton seed meal and oil
will be very great. It is equally
certain that the mills will try to
keep prices of seed down.
''THE ONLY Way"
Raleigh Biblical Recorder: On
one hand the manufacturers of cot
ton seed OIL aud other products are
being combined IN a monopoly. On
the other, very properly, an ef@rt is
being made to combine the producers
of the seed. Hon. T. B. Parker, of
Hillsboro, Business Agent of the
Farmers Alliance, is at the head of
this second movement. He is true
to the cause and he is level headed.
We hope the farmers of North Caro-
lima will sell their seed through him,
and will sell none until he advises it.
This is the only way to contend with
a monopoly,

SHEEP GROWING AND NEGRO COLOMBIA
TON.

Correspondence Of h Progressive Farmer.
Since commencing my series of
articles on sheep, I have received
among many, no letter that gives me
more pleasure than the following
one. Is is q satisfaction to know
that so many seem to be revived to
new efforts in the sheep business and
others interested to investigation f;
for the business is worthy and profit
able. Publishing this letter without
any personal permission, l, of course,
give neither name nor place, only it's
being from the cotton section in
rather South Central North Carolina.
Listen TO our friends testimony that
his sheep ''paid 100 per cent. more
than any other kind of stock and
can ''show that the South can pro-
duce wool for less than half the labor
and expense of raising cotton" This
corresponds with views I may pre-
sent in future chapters, especially in
sanded for cotton planters.
Our friends idea of colonizing the
negro and getting sheep instead, is
rather amusing, but when seriously
considered, it would be a glorious
thing for the negro, and sheep hus-
bandry would be the grandest and
most profitable business the South
ever engaged in, not excepting cot
ton.
The United States made two great
mistakes concerning the negro. The
first was the way she got him here,
a slave, and the second is the way
she has not gotten rid of him and
fixed him for the future.
like to get these letters, and will
be pleased to hear from any one in
terested in sheep. I have no sheep
to sell, but would like to hear from
twenty-five 1andholders and cotton
planters who would take hold of the
business if they could see money in
it. Have some already and 1 answer
any personal questions. This letter
I have been speaking of follows,
SAMUEL ARCHER.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1901-09-10

"MR. SAMUEL ARCHER-DEAR SIR
Having been a large farmer and
stockman before our Civil War, I
have read your articles on sheep in
The Progressive Farmer with great
interest, and as I lent some of the
papers and lost them, l hope you
will compile them into a pamphlet
for the benefit of Southern farmers.
I kept from 100 to $50 sheep on my
farm for several years that cost me
nothing but salt and shearing, as I
had my farms all fenced. In every
field had water, timber land and old
field pines, etc. I sowed clover and
grass so as to have good pasture all
the year round. My sheep were never
housed or sheltered, except they re
sorted to the timber or pine parts of
their pastures in bad weather. l
turned a clover field and subsoiled is
every year for wheat they ran on
the wheat all winter till March and
were fat enough all the year for good
mutton. They were grade Merinos.
They paid 100 per cent. more than
any other stock that cost constant
feeding and attention.
s'Tha6 was in - county, and if
I am successful, I will start q nr
more sheep farms, employ shepherds
and do all I can to show that the
South can produce wool for less than
half the labor and expense of raising
cotton, and with white labor exclu
sively.
"For 60 years 1 have been a colon
izationist, though born a STAKEHOLDER
and worked negroes extensively for
30 years. Now 1 will spend the re-
mainder of my days and much money
to have the negroes of this country
separated from the whites, as the
only possible way to solve the negro
problem, stop raping and lynching.
