LYNCHING.

Again we are confronted by the daily papers
headline, "Wrong Man Lynched." This time the
mob murder was not in the South, but in Kansas.
But anywhere and everywhere an awful response
bility rests on the citizen who disregards his oath
to uphold the law and joins a mob intent on taking
human life-and intent on taking 1T speedily,
without time for proper investigation, and with
the fu17 knowledge that it is answerable to no
one if it should murder the innocent. We hope
that the Legislature now in session will do all
in it's power to uproot this evil in our State.
First, the evils that cause some good people to
excuse lynching should be remedied; then a strin-'
gent antilynching law should be enacted. In
this connection the following extract from Gov
ernor Aycock's message is worth re-reading:
off the punishments for the crimes not now
punishable by death under the law are inadequate,
it is within the competency of the Legislature to
make those punishments anything short Of death,
and I suggest that the punishment for assault
with intent to commit rape, and for attempting
to poison, be made life Imprisonment IN the penn
Tertiary, at the discretion of the judge. The pun
ishment for murder and rape Is already death.
If it appears necessary to provide more eXpedl-
tious trials for these crimes and for fewer chal-
lenges on the part of the prisoner to the jury IN
order to secure a fair trial to the State as well
as to the prisoner, this, too, is within your prov
ince. Having made the law what it ought to be
in order to secure prompt, certain and adequate
punishment for these crimes, it appears to me
that you can do no greater service to the State
than to pass such legislation as will compel a
cessation of l~ynching. It is of the utmost i'm
~portance that there be an end of violence"

THE STATE INSTITUTIONS.

In our last weeks abridgment of Governor Ay-
cocks message to the Legislature, we were forced
to omit our summary of his views on the needs of
the various State institutions, but we feel that the
Importance of the subject is sufficient to justify us
in recurring to the matter even now.

WHAT TIE LEGISLATURE IS DOING.

Our report of important bills introduced covers

hard at work, and they will soon begin to put
something into the hopper, after which the law
making mill will grind on with more visible re-
suits.

THIS WEEKS PAPER-sOME RANDOM COM
NFNT
MENT.

We must confess in the outset that this number
of The Progressive Farmer is not quite up to our
standard. Before the "frst side" of pages 2, 3, 6,
Z, 10, II, IA and Is, was fully prepared, the Editor
was called away by a telegram announcing the i'll
ness of his father, and while his improvement
made it possible for us to return Friday after
noon, we did not have as much time as we wished
for the Second side" of the other eight pages.
We wish to emphasize especially Harry Farm
Cr's call for farming experiences-the kind of let
tiers we have been asking for ever since we began
work on The Progressive Farmer. And now that
farm work is not pressing, we ought to have a
large number of such articles. Have you made
some failure that other farmers ought to be
warned against? Some success that other farm
ers might emulate? Some discovery that other
farmers might profit by? Some system that other
farmers ought to adopt? If so, tell us about it
now while plans for the new crop year are being
laid. There is perhaps no more practicable way
of helping your neighbOrs.
Tillman's shooting of Editor Gonzales is the
most sensational incident recorded in our General
News columns. Tillman will probably escape with
a whole neck, but the reports indicate that it was
cowardly murder. Perhaps the Palmetto State
has enough of the Tillman tribe at last. If the
cause of the South is to be sustained and re-
spected, it must have more reputable and gen
tlemanly defenders.
Mr.. CaldwelPs address on "Andrew jackson"
was delivered about two weeks (not "two years")
ago. This page went to press in our absence, and
the printers error was not detected in time to
correct it. We believe that Mr.. Caldwell did not
mention the fact that a noted North Carolinian,
Gen. William R. Davie, is declared by Parton to
have been Jackson's model soldier.
DR.. Winston resumes his "Talks on Industrial
Education,' and this very readable series of arti-

STATUS OF THE RURAL LIBRARY MOVEMENT

1t was announced in The Progressive Farmer
three weeks ago that 4O8 rural school libraries
had received aid from the State appropriation
for this purpose. Warrants for twenty-one more
libraries have since been issued, these being for
the following counties: Caswell 3, Davidson 1,
Gates 2, Haywood 2, Montgomery /, Yadkin 4,
Sampson 3, Jackson 2, Granville 1, Vance 2. We
are glad to note that Superintendent Joyner
thinks the entire appropriation will be exhausted
within the next few weeks. The General Assem-
bly, will undoubtedly continue this provision for
putting good literature into the hands of the
children.

A THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK.

The poorest, most helpless infant is not an
accident merely, but a "plan of God" as Phillips
Brooks has said, destined to do a definite work
in the universe; it is a part of the divine plan
of creation, and, as such, deserves to be trained
for its work. This, it seems to me, is the funda-
mental argument for universal education-that
every child has a right to a chance in life, be-
cause God made him and made him to do some
thing-Southern Education Notes.

Each candidate processes to believe that he will
be nominated when the caucus reassembles this
(Tuesday) night. By law the General Assembly
itself must ballot for Senator to-day, but as the
caucus has failed to agree on a Democratic can
didate, only a limited number of Democratic leg1s=
lators will vote, thus preventing an election. The
Republican caucus has unanimously agreed to
support Senator Pritchard for reelection.
The anti-saloon bills, the ~reformatory bills, and
the factory childlabor bills are attracting wide
spread attention.

EARLY COTTON AND THE COTTON BOIL
WEEVIL.

The Mexican cotton boil weevil is becoming a
very serious pest in Texas, and about two weeks
ago 500 Lone Star farmers met in Dallas to con-
slider ways and means of checking its ravages.
They effected a regular organization-the Texas
Boil Weevil COnvention-appointed a perma-
nent executive committee, and will ask the Fed
eraI Government, as well as their State Legisla-
ture. to aid them in their work. The following
statement is made, we believe, on the authority
of Prof. w. D.. Hunter, of the United States
Department of Agriculture:
"This pest eats cotton only, no other food.
Being a tropical insect, it was supposed that
it would not go above the limit of volunteer
cotton, say Waco, but it has already neared
Dallas, and has been found in isolated places
further north. The entire cotton belt is now
threatened. Tt has appeared in Brazil and Cuba,
and has been reported from the West Coast of
Africa. It has come to stay; it cannot be ex-
terminated, but it can be kept in check"
One of the methods of checking it is by plant
ing early varieties, and the following letter from
Secretary J. II. Council, Dallas, Texas, to DR..
B. W. Kilgore, of the North Carolina Expert
ment Stations, should have the attention of Pro
gressive Farmer readers having such seed for
sale:
"From inclosed printed matter you will note
the nature of the contest we are now waging
against the boil weevil in Texas. I wish to call
on you for assistance to the extent that you
furnish me promptly with the addresses of all
originators of early maturing varieties of cot
ton whose addresses are known to you. We wish
to secure large quantities of early maturing va
rieties from every reliable source to be shipped
to this executive committee in carload lots from
points beyond the b~oll-weevil infested region.
There may be some North Carolina farmers
known to you who cultivate early maturing va
r%ieties exclusively, who have seed on hand for
sale"
DR.. Kilgore asks that interested parties CORE
spond directly with Professor Cornell at Dallas,
The seriousness of the movement may be guessed
when we say that the recent Convention claimed
that the pest cost Texas growers fully 100000 900
last year.
