Local attorneys, and especially
those with extensive practice before

the decision, handed down yesterday
by Judge Bum Of the Ramsey county
district court, holding unconstitution-
al the law providing for an inheritance
tax in this state. But one estate in
SteaEns county has paid u tax under
the terms of the law. Judge Cal
houn says he has always held to the
private opinion that the law was in
valid, bnt until some eeurt should SO
decide he would proceed as though
the law was good. 1T is probable
that the state will appeal the case to
the supreme court that final decision
on it's constitutlonality may be re-

TWO STRUNG UP
LEXINGTON (Mo.) MOB LYNcHEs
~ALLEGED MURDERERs OF A
WEALTHY FARMER. III
WORK is DONE EFFECTIVELY

9. er Refuses to Surrender Prisoners
and the Outer Door Is Broken in and
the Steel Cells Cut Through.
Lexington, Mo-, Aug. 13.-Charles
Salyers (white) and Harry Gates (col-
ored) were taken from the county Jail
here by a masked mob at 1870 a. m.
and lynched. They were charged with
killing George w. Johnson, wealthy
farmer, who surprised them at his hen
house near town a week ago. Before
they were strung up Salyers made a
statement to the mob saying that
Gates had fired the shot that killed
Johnson.
Salyers and Gates were arrested on
the day following the shooting, after
an exciting chase. Johnson was one
of the wealthiest and most respected
men in the community and the feeling
against the two men was intense. "A
mob gathered while they were being
brought to town, hut was Quieted
through the efforts of the officers and
it was believed that the men would
be allowed to stand trial.
Shortly after midnight armed men
came to town by two and threes, most
of them masked. They massed finally
near the courtyard in which the coun-
ty Jail is situated. The mob was or
derby and we'll directed, each man do
ing his work efficiently and effectively.
A demand on the jailer for the pris-
oners meeting with refusal several
members of the mob, who had come
we'll prepared, broke in the outer door
and made quickly for the cells of the
murderers. It took thirty minutes to
cut through the steel doors.
SalyerS was taken out first, then
Gates. Without encountering any Sc
rious objection the mob, started with
their victims for a point half mile
south of town. There Salyers- was
granted permission to make a state
ment, after which the men were
quietly strung up to a tree and the
mob dispersed.
Only one shot was fired and that was
to put out an incandescent light in
front of livery stable as the mob
passed by on the way to the scene of
the lynching.
Salyers, alias Sacks, had lived here
for number of years and left fam
lily. He had bad reputation. Gates,
who was thirty years old, has served a
term in the penitentiary for burglary
committed in Lexington.

Cattle Raising Will BE a Great
Industry.

few days ago the Chicago Inter
Ocean published news item to the
effect that the leading beef packers
of the West had perfected arrange
ments to secure control of several hun
cred thousand acres of land in South
ern Alabama and Northern Florida,
where they propose to go into the cul-
tiyation of the cassava root on an ex-
tensive scale as feed for cattle and
hcgs. 1t is said that if the contem-
plated plans are carried out the South
will in a few years become the center
of the cattle raising industry The
cassava root is said to be a splendid
stock feed, while the yield is very
large, and in the section where the ex-
pertinent is to be made large crops of
peas. grasses, corn and other forage
can be grown. In addition there is more
or less good pasturage all the year
round, while there are no billiards.
spells of excessive heat and droughts
from which cattle suffer and die on
the ranges Of the Northwest.
With the capital the beef packers
can invest in this enterprise without

provision for the future supplies of
NNAS AOa S1Sh 0fsAbCis We nave no
doubt of the complete success of this
venture, and this means much for the
South, for it will demonstrate the
practicability of raising cattle in the
South on a large scale and profitably
and will encourage others to engage
in it,
We have frequently asserted that the
South would some day be the center
of the cattle and sheep raising indus
try OF the United States, and there is
now a very fair prospect that the as
sertion will be verified, because the
movement of the beef packers is a
long stride in that direction 1t shows
that capital Is beginning to understand
the advantages and resources of the
South and to have confidence in its
future. There are millions of acres of
Idle land in this section of the country
suitable for the raising OF all kinds of
feed for cattle and hogs, and on which

when capitalists win secure these
lands and engage in the highly profit

ON what the actual facts at my COM
mand justified.
Another factor. is very important al
this time. The worst weevil districts
were confined TO the rank, rich bot
tom land cotton plantations. The up
land sandy farms where cotton was
small. and afforded little shade. were
avoided to a certain extent by the
pest. At this writing, however, these
bottom plantations are under water By
the tens of thousands of acres, and
the weeVils have been given a forced
migration to the upland farms. For
this reason not only is the cotton in
the bottoms ruined, but the weevil pest
Is forced to the upland cotton. where
their enforced concentration will make
sEort work of the fruit production OF
the plant from this on out to the end
of the season.
Many reporters have confused the
work of the boil worm with that of the
weevil- This makes very little differ
ence, however, as related TO the effect
on the crop, for the boil worm is ca
pahle of and actually is doing as much
havoc in some of the leading cotton
counties in the Northern cotton areas
as the boil weevil. This boil worm in
jury and attack will be worse this sea-
son than usual, owing to the rainy
season at this time. which usually Is
Cry, and much to the disadvantage of
the boil worm. Then. too, the corn
crop. in which the July brood usually
has had time to mature, was cut short
oy the drought preceding, and hence
one brood of the boil worm has been
forced to the cotton plant much ear
lier than usual. For that reason there
VIII be one more generation, of the
pest in the cotton this year, and the
injury will be very considerably more
than ordinary. This information applies
more especially to the North Texas
cotton area outside of the weevil dis
trtct, and is the feature in my con-
sideration of the facts which leads
me to make the statement that the
crop or that northern district, while
promising before the floods. now is
really in greater danger of b sudden
drop.

scarcest and most needed. 1t is an
ideal feed for young stuff, especially
for pigs. 1t gives them start so that
they are in good condition for field
corn later on.
| wish to impress upon your read
ers the advantages of sorghum. 1t
is a plant of vigorous growth and
stands drought remarkably well. II
is a heavy yielder. 1t will make as
much succulent food per acre as any
feed that can be produced here in
Ohio. In planting this crop do not get
it too thick for hogs, as the larger
the stalk the more sap and the more
seed il will produce. | found out by
experience that hogs do not care for
small stalks, though they are better
for cattle. I will plant three feet six
inches by three feet and not too much
in u hill, so as to get as large
growth as possible to the stalk and
seed. Although last season was very
dry one, l got from four to FIVE tons
per acre.
To the beginner l would say start
with an acre, and see how much feed
of that kind you will need. For an
ordinary farmer with ten brood sows,
some growing shoats, an acre will be
enough and you will have some besides
for cattle. Five pounds of seed will be
required to plant an acre. Sorghum
gives the hogs thrifty and growthy
look and condition. Their hair is as
smooth as il they had been groomed.
| also feed the crop cured. To cure
the crop l had a large shed sixty feet
in length. in which l hauled and lean
ed up around the walls till it was
cured and then stored in one end. The
enemy of the seed is mice, chickens
and English sparrows. If you can
keep them Off you are all right. There
is no waste in sorghum fodder, as the
horses and cattle will eat every vestige
of it, and you can't tell where you fed
them last. Cows will leave good corn
fodder to eat sorghum.

WANT WATER POWER.

Josiah and John f. Flournoy and
L. Garrard of Columbus visited West
Point recently in the interest of the
Columbus syndicate that is buying nu
the water power along the Chattahoo-
chez river. 1t is the purpose of this
syndicate to buy all the land for a
short distance back from the river and
the entire length of it from West
Point to Columbus. They will then
erect a plant at Phipps Island, mid
way between the two places and at
the end of the Chattahoochee Valley
Railway, and harness the power of
the river to run the plant. Messrs.
Flournoy and Garrard were in CONSUL
tation with Lafayette Lanier, presi-
dent of the three cotton mills-Lanett
Cotton Mills, West Point Manufacture
ing Company and Riverdale Cotton
Mills-the Lanett bleachery and dye
works and the Chattahoochee Valley
Railway Company, and, while these
gentlemen would say nothing as to
their plans, it is generally understood
that the power company will furnish
power to run all the industries over
which Lanier presides.
