Silence il ?. @. Scandal.

Washington, July Following q
long conference between Postmaster
General Payne and the assistant
postmaster general, it is apparent
that positive orders have been issued
prohibiting employees of the postal
service, from the highest official to
the humblest mail corrier, from dis
cussing, for publication of confident
tally, any phase OF the postal service
scandals, past, present or future.
The order was so positive in char
acter and the punishment held out
as the consequence of breach of
instructions was go severe that there
was considerable difficulty in even
confirming the facts with regard to
the conference itself. This was f.
nally secured, however, with the init
nation that the order of 'ssilence"
had originated with President Roose-
velt.
It is known that the postmaster
general and his four assistant post
master generals were not OF one mind
with regard to the necessity for such
an order. First Assistant Post
master General Wynne believed in a
reasonable amount of publicity, and
it is understood that he was frank
enough to say so. Second Assistant
Postmaster General Shsllenberger is
said to have agreed with him. Post
master General Payne, Third Assist
ant Madden and Fourth Assistant
Bristow indorsed the idea of silence.
It is understood, however, that the
order for s'siIence" would have gone
into effect had the four assistant
postmaster generals opposed it as 8
unit. Postmaster General Payne is
the head of the post Office depart
ment and President Roosevelt is ex-
ercising a general, but careful super
vision over the direction of the
present inquiry.

a Spiritual Labor.

Suffering is as truly function of
the complete human life as joy or
love is. It is a sort of spiritual
labor. This is to say that it is in the
nature of the universe, in the nature
of God. We may reverently say
that he suffers in and with his chill
drer, as surely as he loves them. To
recognize this fact, is to take all the
sting and bitterness out of pain.

Nc False Claims.

The proprietors of Foley's Honey
and Tar do not advertise this as a
"sure cure for consumption" They
do not claim it will cure this dread
complaint in advanced cases, but do
positively assert that it will cure in
the earlier stages and never fails to
give comfort and relief in the worst
cases. Foley's Honey and Tar is

Chicago Minister Says Crime OF the
Victim Fits the Punishment.


Chicago, June 29-"I am no advo-
cate of lynchiDg or Of mob law, but
would rather see community
wrought to the highest pitch over
crimes that would seem impossible
this side of hell than to remain apa-
thetic," was the declaration of the
R=v. DR.. ". 4. Bartlett at the First
Congregational church yesterday in
a prelude On ''Lvnch;ng from anoth-
er point of view"
DR.. Barlette said among other
things: Il have seen so many eer-
mons, editorials and resolutions de-
nouncing lynching and mob law that
one gets the impression that the
citizens who hang or burn the de-
stroyer of life, home and all that is
held sacred by womanhood, are the
real offenders rather than the mon
ster whom they destroy.
:: 1--WE seem to be so absorbed with
the majesty of this vague term 'law'
that the notion appears to prevail
that the real criminals are those who
do not wait for legal processes, and
the violator of womanhood is the
abused party.
eve shudder at the torture of the
criminal who is burned but apparent
ly forget to shudder for the innocent
girl, whose mental and spiritual ag-
ony is ten-fold greater than that of
the fire. This is not race problem
except 90 far as one race are the
offenders. The white man who COM
mits the same crime is just as guilty.
'The indignant uprising of a CON-
munity, and some of the best men in
it to avenge wrong of such awful
magnitude may be technical lawless,
but the spirit which causes the upris-
ing is the reflection OF a higher
civilization.
'There are crimes so dreadful that
the pure and the chivalrous and the
strong find is we'll nigh impossible 10
endure the thought that such
degenerate should pollute the earth
by it's presence. It is easy to theor-
ize about the anarchy of mob law,
but the same hand which penned the
calm editorial might be the first TO
grasp the torch if it was a mother,
wife, or daughter who was the victim.
II say when you look at a lynch.
ing from another point it is simply
the bursting forth of an indignation
and loathing that will not be cheek
ed. In the Old Testament days they
made short work of such an offender.
"Lynchipg is certainly bad meth
cd and forms the habit OF disorder
and makes men bloodthirsty. But
if it is to be avoided there certainly
is called for more sure and speedy
trial of these wretches who often
brazenly deny crime amid red tape of
legal processes but confess abiectly
when confronted by determined men
"It is useless to bring to trial good
men who rise up to protect their
fresides. The community will not
bear it,, If men object to being
burned let them cease from crimes
which make nation sick.

best results, and the benefit of any
fertilizing properties that may have
been left or deposited in the soil by
the previous crops. We should know
what line of agriculture is most
profitable, what crops will be most
in demand and are least expensive
to cultivate and to harvest, and viii
pay us the largest profit, and will
leave our land in the best shape fol
another crop. 1t is not the CROP
that brings the most money that al
ways pays the biggest profit, and il
is not the farmer that makes the
biggest crop that always makes the
most money, but it is the farmer that
makes the biggest >crop with the
least expense. We should know the
different diseases of plants and ami,
mails, and how to treat them, In
short, to be a successful farmer, we
should have an agricultural educa-
ton, which embraces all this valua-
bic and indispensable information
If we do not have this information
then we are cropping in the dark, and
will not as a rule, succeed to any
great extent.
ONLY INTELLIGENT FARMING PAYS.
When a man plants a crop on a
piece of land and expends labor and
manure, if ne is an intelligent farm
er, he knows, and has a right to
know what to expect from that crop
if no unusual act of Providence in
terferes. The day is at hand when
only intelligent and up-to-date farm
ing will pay. Farm labor has be-
come scarce and unreliable. Our
fathers had a great advantage over
us in farming from a standpoint of
labor. They owned their slaves, and
with them cultivated and harvested
their broad fields dob de cotton and
de corn" and following in their foot
steps, we too, have learned to depend
ON "Sambo to weed our stumpy
rows" But the day of "Sambo" as
a farm laborer has passed, the order
of things have changed, and we are
now servants of those whose mas
tiers we used to be-" and we can nc
longer depend on negro labor on the
farm to any great extent, but we
must teach our white boys how to
work and love to work. We can nc
longer adhere to the one crop sys-
tenn and plant all of our lands In
cotton and go West for meat, grain.
and hay, but should diversity our
crops and make everything ON ou1
farm as near as possible that we may
need at home, such as horses, mules
beef-cattle, meat, hay, and grain. II

lands in E~dgecombe County, and
