written these tender parting lines, evil

And you no more | see,
Take up your pen and paper
And write line TO me-"
West had poetical name but judg-

ports we are receiving indicate that
the tobacco acreage in this State will
be very largely increased this year.
In addition to what Prof. Massey
has to say to our fig growing corre-
|spondent, we wish to advise r. A.
P, to get a copy of the Department
of Agriculture bulletin on "The Fig
It's History, Culture and Curing"
On page 8 of THE PROGRESSIVE FAR.
MER of Dec. oath this bulletin was
fully described.
Few of our readers perhaps will
agree with all that Lillian Bell says
on page 4, but NO one will say that
her article is not bright, original and
worth thinking about.
On the same page of u last num-
Der was an article on "The Blue
Back speller" that we hope none OF
our older readers missed.
Harry Farmer is not in his usual
place this week, but the reader will
find him without difficulty. He
makes several suggestions that will
be of special interest to the farmer
who found farming improbable last
year.
"H. B., Sportsman, is evidently
speaking ironically. To all inter
ested in the subject he discusses we
commend an article, "Spare the
Birds" that we shall publish next
week.
Our Alliance letters indicate that
several successful county meetings
we're held this month. We hope
that Lecturer Balm will accomplish
good by his tour in the East. We
are also interested in the announce
ment that County Lecturer Gates is
soon to begin work in Alamanoe.
The delegates who &C enjoyed his
talks at the last State Alliance meet
ing will expect good results. Score
tary Parker will soon have some
thing of Importance TO say through
THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER in regard
TO fertilizers.
The sphere of influence of Our
Social Chat seems TO be spreading.

as North Carolina, are represented

INDEPENDENT JOURNALISM.

The announcement that the peni-
tertiary management was paying
too much rent for the Arson county
farm and that it was offered for half
the rental when the owners learned
that the State was to abandon il.
makes things look bad for the gen
tlemen who had this institution in.
charge when this farm was secured.
We do not know which party is re-
sponsible for this, but it is to such
business management as this that
the pe%nitentiary owes it's present
condition. If the press of the State
would expose such business as this,
regardless of which political party
happened to be responsible, it would
have a wholesome effect. But we
suppose this is too much to hope for.
Durham Herald.
The Herald is right, but the trouble
in bringing about the conditions il
suggests is that newspapers in North
Carolina have for so long been ao-
customed to approving whatever is
done by their party and to condemn
whatever is done by the other party,
without regard to the merits of the
case, that this has become second
nature with some of them. And
whenever one of them attempts to
be lmpartial-as several in this State
nave within recent years-comment-

GEN. CARR's POULTRY ADDRESS NOT
QUITE COMPLETE.

Gen. Cars address on "Poultry
Raising: It's History, Importance,
and it's Growth in State and Nation, y
published in last weeks PROGRESS
I'VE FARMER, covered the subject
pretty thoroughly, but we think the
California boy composition on hens
will supplement- it admirably:
"Hens is curious animals. They
don't have no nose, nor no teeth, nor
no ears.
"The outside of hens is generally
put into pillars and feather busters
The inside OF a hen is some times
filed up with marbles and shirt
buttons and SIGH.
GA hen is very much smaller than
a good many other animals, but
they'll dig up more tomato plants
than anything that amt a hen.
"Hens is very useful to lay eggs
for plum pudding. like plum pud-
ding. Skinny Bates eat so much
plum pudding onc that it set him
into the collery.
"Hens has got wings and can fly
when they r scarf. Tout my Uncle
Williams hens neck off with a
hatchet and it scart her to death.
"Hens some times makes very fine
spring chickens"
And as we have noted that our
orators consider it fitting to conclude
an address with some poetioal selec-
ton, we suggest that Gen. Carr con-
slider the following, if again called
on to talk of poultry. It is Oliver
Herford's clay to the Hen" as found
in his new book of animal pictures
and verses

The Thinkers.
LYNCH LAW.

There is no use denying the fact
that the mob spirit is growing among
our people, and, we are forced to say,
especially in North Carolina. The
stringing up of negroes without
trial, and some times without inves-
tigation, is far more frequent now
than formerly. And perhaps ten
lynchings OCCUR in the South to. one
in the North. It has been said
rather boastingly that if the Presi-
dent had been killed in the South
the murderer would never have
lived to see q court house. This is
probably true, but it is nothing to be
proud of. It is a confession that the
South is less law-abiding than the
North. The taking of a human life
by a mob is not the sign of courage
but of cowardice. The spirit of the
mob is the spirit of savagery. The
patient waiting for the penalty of
the law to be inflicted in the organ
lied and lawful way is the mark Of
Of civilization. We are sorry TO be
compelled to confess that in the mat
ter of respect for law and order we
are behind our Northern brethren.
# is not pleasant to write this down,
but it is the truth, and we would
rather own the truth, however it
may hurt. This thing of dragging a
criminal out of Jail and breaking his
neck without giving him the least
chance to defend himself is a scandal
and a shame. We have been lam
pooned by spiteful Northern jour
mails for many years, and while we
despise their motives, it must be ad-
mitted that we deserve much OF the
clustering they give Us. The'nameless
crime" is not the only one that calls
out the mob to do it's dark work s;
and the hlood-thirsty spirit feeds
upon itself.-Charity and Children,
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1902-01-28
