A Strong OeniaI--This Statement
Should Suffice.

Editor Sentincl-J Journal: On my
return from Arlorson where [ had
been engaged in summer school work
my attention was called to rumor
that had been given circulation in
town by some evil designing person or
persons to the effect that 1 had adj
vised the colored womon of the town
not to wash, iron and cook for the
white people. I desire to brand the
rumor as an infamous falsehood, II
falsehood or gilatel in a black ond
fiendish heart and uttered by n
tongue filthy and dangerous to the
peace of any community.
In ordor that there may not bo a
lingering doubt as to the falsity of
this rumor left in the mind of auy
man or woman, l herewith submit
the following statemen nt
10 whom 1T may concern: This is
to certify that Mr. r.. X. Moon has
not advised the undersigned neither
have we heard of his having advised
any ono else not to wash, iron and
cook far white people. Furthermore
wo do not believe that he has given
such advice to any woman in the
town Of Pickens.

Addie Goldman, Silva Tolbert, Rosa
Bowen, Ann Anderson, Lula NIcEl-
waine.
Now I cali upon tho originator of
this rumor to come forth with the
proof that have given such advice
or keep his filthy mouth closed. The
liond from which it originated should
be known and brand Of eternal con
demnation placed about him so that
the world might Hnow the fendish
ness and corruptness that fills his
black and dirty heart.
| am sufficiently informed to- know
that the white people a,nong whom
wo live arc our our best friends. How
could they be otherwise; how could I
believe or teach otherwise, when
know that our worry existence to q
great extont depends upon tho feeling
Of tho white people toward us. They
own the land which wo work, the
houses in which we live, tho railroads
upon which wo ride, the banks from
which we borrow money, the stores
at which we trade, to them wo look
for favols when in need. Thoy con,
troll the government and to them we
must look for justice when we are
brought into the courts of the land,
in fact, they control every enterprise,
and have tho key to every av,nue
through which we must go for live
hood Now l would ask Il reason.

The health Of our community was

Crops arc fairly good where they
were worked regular.
W. d. and j. II. Garrison have the

seen anywhere. They planted it in
March, and it was bit down by frost,
but to see it now you would not
think it had been frost bit.

Tho colorcd race had q "farmers

We heard several of the darkeys say
that there was plenty of grub on tho
ground for all, but those that were
not members of the "socicty" had to
stand back till the delegates ate, and
rs soon as they ate, the rations were
rolled off into tho baskets. Tho :c-

Dairy IIuSbhndry Field Work.
The department Of dairy husbandry
OF the University Of Illinois has for the
past year been conducting field work
among the dairymcn Of the state An
attempt has been made to get them to
weigh and sample the milk of each
cow IN their herds every seventh week,
the object being to determine which Of
the individual COWS are tho most profit
able, so thnt the farmer may be able
to weed out the poor COWS and keep
only the profitable ones. Mr.. A. J.
Glover Is looking after this work, and
I'LL necessary apparatus is furnished
by the university. The farmers who
take up the work are required every
seventh week to weigh and sample tho
milk from each COW in the herd for
fourteen consecutive milkings From
these results are estimated the
amounts Of milk and Of butter fat
each COW has produced for the three
weeks before and will produce for the
three weeks following the test. Tho
cows yearly record IS made up from
these tests, and In this way tho total
amounts Of milk md of butter fat that
she has produced during the entire
year are determined.
