Lynch Law.
WadesborO. Messenger Intelligencer.

WducsDUto u MSoScHRcI AutcAAkSoSSA.
There has been much discussion OF
lynch law by our State exchanges
since the recent lynchings Of Luke
Hough in this country. In the main
the papers have endorsed the sum-
mary execution of the brute by the
citizens of the Mcfarland neighbor-
hood, and are almost unanimously
opposed to any effort being made to
punish them for the act. The neces-
sity Of resorting to lynch law is great
ly dsplored, but as long as the dia-
bolical crime which provokes it is
committed, it is the unanimous
opinion of all the papers that have
discussed the matter that there is lit
tie hope Of putting an end to this
form of violence.
1t is a very serious matter to put
man to death, brute though he may
be, otherwise than by legal process.
So far as the rights of the person who
are concerned, ii matters not how
quick he is put out OF the way, or as
TO the manner of his taking of. 1t is
the effect that mob violence has on
society in general that concerns every
good citizen. There can be no doubt
that lynchings have a demoralizing
effect, though we do not believe, as
do some, that they have tendency
to increase the very crime which
usually causes them.
But what is the use OF further dis
cussing the matter? Everybody
agrees that lynchings are bad, but
that does not alter the determination,
of at least 80 per cent. of the white
manhood of the South, to hang the
brute who assaults woman as soon
as he is caught and his guilt proved.
The negroes themselves are respon-
sible for lynch law. Let them cease
assaulting our women and the crime
will never again be heard Of.

COTTON FARMERS AND GROWERS.
Meet by Delegation and Organize
Under Name of 1.-The North Carolina
Cotton Farmers State Association.

Meet by Dele2dt1On anu OISsuiAe
Under Name of 1.-The North Carolina
Cotton Farmers State Association.
To The Cotton TURNER'S end Ginners Of North
Cdrolino:
AT meeting OF delegates appointed
to assemble in Raleigh on the 25th inst,
for the purpose OF considering and de-
Gliding on the best method OF securing q
lust and reasonable price for our cotton
seed, it was agreed to organize under the
name OF "The North Carolina Cotton
Farmers State Association" and make
such recommendations to those engaged
in raising cotton as might best secure the
end in view.
CATER full information presented by
the State Agricultural Department ofthe
intrinsic value OF cotton seed for ferti-
lizer, stock feeding, etc, supplemented by
the individual knowledge and experience
OF the farmers present in relation to
them, the following recommendations
were made, and the Undersigned appoint
ed q committee to briefly outline the con-
illusions of the convention:
THAT We should not dispose of our
seed, in case of sale for less than twenty
five (25) cents per bushel, or when ex-
changing the same to the mills we should
not receive less than ,333h pounds of
meal, analyzing 81 per cent. ammonia
for u ton of seed. This price was based
on present price OF cotton seed meal and
oil. II these products advance in price
the seed should sell at higher price
than 20 cents per bushel. In the event
we are unable to sell or exchange on
these terms then it was recommended
that we should use the seed on the farm
for fertilizer, and wherever practicable
there should be established by the farm
ers neighbOrhoOd cotton seed oil mills.
1t was the sense of the convention that
it was preferable toeXchange the seed for
meal to be used on the farm rather than
impOverish the farm by the system OF
robbery so much practiced by our farm
ers in making an outright sale OF the
seed In all cases of sale or exchange the
purchaser should pay the freight on
seed and the farmers pay the freight on
meal
1t was furthermore agreed to urge upon
our friends the Importance OF township
and county organization to accomplish
this desirable end; for we fully realize
that mere State organizations and resO-
utiOns can accomplish but little, unless
hose whom we seek to aid shall organize
among themselves and actively and in
diligently cooperate with us. To this
tend we insist that every farmer interest
ed in procuring better prices for cotton
seed engage actively in this work of or,
ganizatiOn and that no time be lost in
perfecting the same in each township and
county.

At the next assessment lot the
amount at which property is assessed
be published so that everybody may
see that others are bearing their
proper shares OF taxes. 1t is unques-
tionably wrong that the owners of
large property should not pay their
proportionate part OF the taxes. If
the tax valuations are not equalled at
the next assessment it will seriously
retard the growth Of Kinston. Let
every good citizen take an interest in
the matter and see to it that values
