LEGISLATURE ADJOURNED.

As was stated yesterday in the
Gazette, the General Assembly has
suspended work until November. In
addition to taking the oath and select
ing the Circuit Court judges, who will
be formally elected next November, the
body passed number of election bills,
which were regarded as necessary in
consequence of the changes made by
the new constitution.
The House again rejected every prop
osition offered looking to the creation
of commission to cOdiiy the laws of
the State under the new constitution.
The body met at noon and held long
session, most Of which was devoted to
the consideration of the commission
question. The debate took wide range
and was at times animated. 1t con-
tanned some structures upon newspapers
for seeing fit to criticise the House upon
its failure to adopt some measure for
the proper codification of the laws.
After adopting a resolution providing
for adjournment yesterday afternoon
until November r. the House took
recess until 4 o'clock.
The Senate was to have convened at
noon, but it was nearly 2 O'Clock before
a quorum was assembled. The body
concurred in the changes made by the
House in the Senate bill relating to the
exercise of the franchise, and putting
into operation that part of the new con-
stitution relating to elections. This was
the matter that had prevented adjourn
ment on Saturday last After accomp-
fishing this the Senate concurred in the
House joint resolution to adjourn until
November IL.
L. NJ. McPeak, the republican mem
Der of the House from Carroll, has
resigned his seat in the House. He
takes this step because of his removal to
West Virginia to practice law.
Speaker Ryan issued writ for the
election of Mr.. McPeak's successor at
the regular election in November.
Speaker Ryan stated that during the
vacation of the General Assembly, ne
will outline the work to be done by the
various committees, so that it may be
gone over before the meeting in Novem-
ber He does not think the State VIII
lose much by not having appointed

THAT THE negro race Is uncapaD!e Of
self government has been proven when
ever and wherever the experiment has
been tried. The present condition oil
affairs i'm Haiti, where cOntending fac
tions are disputing for futile ascen-
dencv. where the mass of the popula-
ton has relapsed into a condition OF
semi-barbarism, and where productive
island has been turned into a practical
waste, furnishes an admOnitory glimpse
of what may be expected in all other
places which are left unhelped and I'M
hindered to negro control. The Liberia
experiment proved disastrous failure,
and in this case negroes who had been
born in this country, reared among civil
lied and cultured people, soon terreach-
ing that land became semi-savages. This
being the case, what can be expected OF
the self governing powers of negroes,
who know or have seen little of civiliza-
ton and want to know less, and whose
natural bent is to live without restraint
of any kind.

TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 20, 1902.

THE MURDER yesterday OF William
H Woolson, well-known and esteemed
citizen of Fairfax county, has caused
considerable excitement in the neighbor-
hood of Herndon, near where ne was
found dying from bullet fired by an
unknown hand. A negro recently re-
leased from the penitentiary is suspected
of the crime, as he has been seen lurking
in the neighborhood recently, and the
fact that Mr.. Woolson was a member
of the jury which brought in a verdict
against him strengthens the belief that
he was killed in a spirit OF revenge
Such a cold-blOoded murder has aroused
the honest Indignation of all well-dis-
posed people. This is believed by many
persons 10 be the second deliberate
murder that has occurred in this vicinity
recently. William Smith, who was
found dead in a clump of bushes short
distance south of Alexandra on the
Washington Southern Railway, is believed
by many to have met his death by foul
play. although this remains tobeproven,
and the authorities are now engaged IN
investigating the matter. 1t is hoped
that the guilty parties will be ferreted
out. if murder in the latter case was
committed There can be no doubt,
however, that Mr.. Woolson was ruth
lesslv assassinated and that his slayer
is still at large.

IT Is notifying for some Virginians
to read that the legislature of the State
lends itself to the vagaries of cranks or
of even less responsible people. The
Hou.e last week took up and passed a
bull to prohibit the sale of cider within
one mile of AppomattOx Court House.
Appomattox is an apple growing coun-
ty, and cider is both refreshing and
wholesome drink, and when new and
pure, entirely free from intoxicating ei-
fects, and why those who don't like
cider should want to prohibit those who
do from drinking the home made
beverage is difficult of understanding

single striker resumed work.
The discharge of two union men and the
refusal to discharge nOn-union Italian la

is beyound doubt, stood at bay, and with

SUM NJ ER FEEDING.

The careful .herdsman can do
much ia the way of reducing the
feed b;il at this season. In deal
ing with the hog it is always well
to bear i'll mind that he l., not Il
ruminating animal and conse-
quently cannot handle large guam
titles of bulky forage crops with
a corresponding large PR. to
his owner. There is use for
green feeds as supplemer, to
to regular trough and yard led
ing but we are satified that where
quick, returns which mean early
maturity, are desired, the same
cannot be obtained from swine
forage pastures. A trial at one
OF our stations several years ago
showed that when bunch of pigs
had to depend entirely upon soil
ing crops fed IN pens they loose
in weight on the average a quar-
ters Of a pound per day. In the
case of growing shoats rape pas
ture has in many instances given
fair results but from observation
and direct experience We believe
that even the rape cop has it's
most valuable and economical use
as a supplement.
Breeding stock will come
through the summer in excellent
condition if given the run ofgood
pastures OF cloy er, alfalfa, or
mixed clover and blue grass. In
several seasons we have followed
this plan with excellent results.
Brood sows due for August and
September fArrow received no
grain after the spring litters

removed and have given large
and healthy iitters. Stock boars
are IN much better condition for
iall service than when kept con-
fined to hot, hlthy yards and
maintained in highly flushed
farm on an expensive corn diet.
In brief we believe more alfalfa
and clover and less corn and
shorts is what will result not only
in greater-net profit butin health
ier and more vigorous stock as
well.
In pastui ing hogs an abundant
supply of water IS essential If
possible let them haveaccess to a
running s1rcam, rhehog revels
in his mud and water bath and it
is dollars in his owners pocket.
We think it a mistake to allow
the pigs liberty over large areas.
1t breed discomfort and discon-
tent means the tramping under
foot and destruction of more
green food than is eaten. The
use of easily moved hurdles Civ
ing access to fresh plots week or
ten days gives much better re-
suits. At present wehave sue
,cession OF plots coming on which
will present a fresh bite until late
in the fall Our experience with
green peas and oats as food for
hogs has been decidedly unsatis-

STARKVlLLE, MISSISSIPPI. AUGUST /, 1902.

In breeding to improve plants
and animals man but directs in
his own interest the operations
of the law of the survival of the
fittest.
Sheep, to do well, should have
a variety of food, They require
more frequent changes than any
other farm animal. When in a
rich pasture they will often leave
the finest gras to fee ION weeds
and bushes, This disposition
can be put to profitable use on
most farms.
The record of an animals an
ces,ry, the pedigree, is valua ble
if it records something worth
knowing, but simply to say that
bull calf is the son of his dan,
and with no statement as to the
character of the dam will not sat
isfy the present requirements.
AT one time-a few centuries
back-the mule was given high
class service in England. The
mule was then classed as the
peerof his half-brother, the horse.
Ia those days be was seen mag
m6cently housed, and bore upon
his back the abbots, bishops and
the princes Of the all-powerful
Roman church; nor would that
have been the case hadit not been
deemed by the luxurious and
self indulgent prelates of that
age as far superior to the horse
for the purposes of the saddle.
Very few farmers appreciate
the extent to which farm animals
transmit their own characteris-.
tics. There is scarcely an i'll to
which these animals are heir
that is not liable to be transmit
ted to the offspring. All breed
ing stock should, therefore, be
sound in every respect. We do
not say that exceptions should
rot be made to this rule, but we
do say that the Cxce eRtions to it,
as usually made, mostly result
harmfully sooner or later.
