IF there are other female witnesses
they could be treated like the plain

ant from producing all the witnesses

If the jury convicts him, let the
Judge pass sentence that he be pub
licly hanged on a certain day not
to exceed thirty days from day of
sentence. The colored people from
far and near will go to e him exc

remedy which many of of the great
men advocate is to give the negro a
primary education or enough for
him to read and write fairly well. 1t
is a noted fact that statistics will
sustain that 95 per cent of those who
commit such crimes cannot read and

The Tobacco W

President S. @. Adams, of the To-
bacco Growers Interstate Associa-
ton, of Virginia and North Caro-
lima, has just issued a card, in which
he states that the plan of organiza-
ton adopted at the recent meeting
of the Association in Danville, is in
the hands of the printer, and will
be ready for distribution in a few
days. Among other things, he says:
"The plan may not be just what
all may want, but it was adopted
unanimously by a representative
body of tobacco growers, and should
have our support. Should any fea-
ture prove unsatisfactory, we can
change it at a future meeting. Let
all farmers first get hold of these
ideas-that we are not making war
upon any one, but as we are met by
combinations who name the prices of
nearly everything we buy self-pre-
s%ervation forces us TO combine, that
we may name the prices on what we
sell. If we fail to do this, we can
not hope to improve our condition;
every farmer in this country may
assert with all emphasis possible that
he cannot make tobacco at present
prices, and it will accomplish nothing
as long as he makes it and puts it on
the market at these prices-to say
we car do nothing, and then do it,
will never make any one respect our
assertions"

TIE PEST OF

The Government has again been
giving some attention to the English
sparrow and, while at this writing
no definite statistics are o~btainable,
it is roughly estimated that there are
upwards of a hundred million of the
little feathered creatures in this
country. The sparrows have long ago
been voted a pest, but it was not IN
til recently that strenuous efforts
have been made toward their extermi-
nation.
Equip the boys with the Stevens
rife" says a well-knoWn Washington
official, "and the sparrow question
won't be a matter of doubt very
long"
This thought is right in line with
the ideas that the j. Stevens Arms
g. Tool Co., of Chicopee Falls, Mass,
the well-known frearm makers, have
been advocating for sometime. The
Stevens people have been urging the
use of the small calibre rife on farms
where not only the sparrow, but wood
chucks, squirrels, crows, hawks are
also sources of nuisance.
As a general proposition it does
seem reasonable to believe that a
man or boy, armed with a "SteVen8'
and instructed in it's use, could soon
rid the neighborhood of the living
crop destroyers at a small outlay and
have a lot of fun himself while doing
the work.

Some Pigs.
Editor of The Progressive Farmer:

MI. John W. Hicks, of Williams
boro, Vance County, killed two six
teen-month's-old pigs last week that
will be hard to beat. Both of them
weighed $50 pounds. The largest was
crippled, yet tipped the scales at
All. His ears measured 1872 inches
long and 10 inches wide. He was
full six feet long, and many who
saw him expressed the belief that he
would have weighed 1000 pounds if
kept another year, nd well fattened.

HARRY FARMERS TALKS.
OXXXII.
Editor Of The PrOgroaaive Farmer:


Editor Of h Progressive Farmer:
We have one dark spot in our civ
ilization in the South, and it has
been discussed frequently, and yet
the problem seems just as far from
solution as it did at frst-the bru-
tally of negroes to white women
Farmers are affected more than any
other class. It keeps many white
girls from school and other employ
ment. The tigers in the jungles of
India are not any more dangerous
or need not be feared any more for
the negro kills his victim in the most
horrible way, the tiger can do no
more. Lynching has proven a fail
ure. Many good men do not try to
protect the criminals because they
do not want their daughters, wives,
mothers or sisters drawn up into the
court house, there to give in testi-
mony to a crowd of curious specta-
tors, and be harrassed by some saucy
lawyer. Friends, would you like to
have any of your kin giving in tes-
timony only fit for a doctor to hearg
Yet it must be given. Tt is almost
too horrible to think about. 1t is
for the above reason why lynchers
are not punished.
What is the remedy Harry Farmer
ofers9 We can only offer one sure
remedy and that is for our white wo-
men and girls to never go alone. Liv-
ing in thickly settled communities
is fairly safe, but not absolutely so.
When the crime is committed let
the criminal be placed in prison.
Then let the Governor order an ex-
ira term of the Superior Court for
that county, provided there is none
to be held within four or five weeks.
Let the Clerk of the Superior Court
inform the presiding or resident
judge solicitor, who shall, on receipt
of such information, appoint some
lawyer to go with the solicitor and
have the defendant and plaintiff
brought before them in some magis-
trate's or the Clerk of the Superior
Court, and let the plaintiff make an
affidavit as to the details of the crime
committed. By this plan no large
crowd will be there to embarress her.
If she desires it one or two of her
nearest male or female friends could
be admitted to the hearing. This
would be perfectly fair for both
sides. This affidavit need not be read
in open court at all. It could be
handed to the jury and let them re-

The Supreme Court last week fled
a most important decision, which
overrules the noted case of Hoke
against Henderson, decided in 1888,
which held that a public office is the
property of the holder during the
term for which he is elected.
