REPENTING THEIR MISDEEDS.
Whitecappels Who Were Heavily
Fined and Placed Under Bond
BY Judge Powell.
Special to the Daily Progress.

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, May 9.-The action Of
Judge Powell in administering
a heavy fine to fourteen whitecappers
in Lincoln county, and placing the
offenders under bond to keep the peace
for one year, is regarded as the final
termination of the series of outrages
by night-riders in the southern part Of
the state. The troubles were pro-
voked in great measure by the agita-
tion of the negro question, and the
leading participants in the outlawry
belonged to the ignorant and untIink-
ing class of citizenship who are now
sincerely repenting their misdeeds.

Jackson, May Green Case, a
noted convict who escaped from the
penitentiary last December, being the
third time he had succeeded in break
ing out of the institution, has been
captured near Brookhaven and re-
turned to one of the convict farms to
complete his sentence. Case belongs
to family of outlaws, two of his
cousins having been sent to the peni
tentiary for the killing of the depot
agent at Wesson several years ago, a
crime of unusual atrocity and cold
bloodedness. He promises the officials
to remain until the completion of his
sentence.

WILL INVOKE LAW
To Prevent Stoppage of Limited
Trains on Flag at Magnolia,

Special to the Daily Progress.

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, May 9.-The Illinois Gen.
trail railroad has intervoked the inter-
state commerce law to prevent the
Mississippi railroad commission from
enforcing it's recent order for the stop
ping of limited passenger trians on flag
at Magnolia, the county seat of Pike
county. The temporary restraining
order granted by Judge Niles is based
on the ground that the railroad is an
interstate system, and the stopping at
Magnolia would unnecessarily delay
through traffic.

especial interest to North Carolinians. First, DR..
Edwin Minis, professor Of English literature in
Trinity College, has been selected by the very dis
eliminating publishing house of Houghton,
Mif1in & Co., to write the biography of Sidney
Lanier for it's american Men of Letters" series.
Those who know DR.. Minis will rest assured that
the firm has not mistaken his scholarship and
ability. Another member of the Trinity faculty,
DR.. John S. Bassett, professor of history, is pre-
pairing a life of Andrew Jackson. DR.. Bassett is
not only a careful student and learned as a his
torian, but he has the dispassionate, judicial
temperament so essential in work of this kind.

So the "exterminators" fail to exterminate, and
the boil weevil goes on his way rejoicing. But we
do not credit the rumor, which we published last
week only as a rumor, that this pest has appeared
in Union and Mecklenburg Counties. There is
good reason, however, for us to be interested in
the plight of our Texas brethren, for thus far
the weevil has gone steadily on from one farm to
another, and from one county to another, and
many fear that, if not checked, it will spread
over the entire Cotton Belt. But we believe that
our scientists will soon discover some effective
way of combating it. The United States Depart

THE DRUG HABIT.

There is a world of truth-and most timely
truth, too-in DR.. Armstrong; letter IN this num-
Der on "The Abuse of Drugs by the Laity." The
Doctor feels very earnestly the truth of what he
says; there is no mistaking the righteous indigna-
ton of such sentences as these:
erich and poor, wise and foolish, lean and fat,
black and white, large and small, sick and healthy,
want drugs rubbed in and on them, with needles,
injections, by the mouth, by plasters, salve8, tab
lets, pills and tinctures. Finally, I believe the
world will be peopled by a race made up of copper
stomachs on stills, with spoons and troughs where
they may stand from cradle to grave and guzzle
and swil till kingdom come"
And the doctors are not so much to blame as we
think. IF you feel unweIl and the doctor comes
and simply tells you to live more temporarily,
take more recreation, and worry less, you straight
way declare that he has not done his duty; that
he ought to have stuffed you with medicine.
Things have come to such a pass that the doctor
is afraid he will lose his practice if he does not
leave a dozen prescriptions for each patient.
Worst all, many a man, without consulting any
reputable physician, is dosing continually on pat
ent medicines, drugs he knows nothing about, and
whose manufacturers know nothing about HIM
and care nothing, after the money is paid. Some
man gets sick. He takes DR.. Smiths Miraculous
Pills. He gets well. Ten to one, he recovered
in spite of the pills, not because of them. But
he attributes the results entirely to the unknown
mixture that he swallowed. Americans" says
DR.. Charles W. Eliot, "fare curiously subject to
medical decisions, because they easily fall victims
to that commonest of fallacies: this preceded that'
therefore this caused that; or in shorter phrase
what preceded, caused"
The only patent medicines we have ever known
to be strikingly successful were those whose max
ers prescribed certain regulations, regarding
diet, sleeping and exercise, to be carefully follow
ed by the patient they were treating. And tng
observance of these hygienic rules did a hundred
times as much good as the medicine ITSELF

Cotton has deteriorated much within the last
month. For example, Mr.. Jas. 81. Pou, who in Au-
gust expected to make 100 bales on his Johnston
County farm, will now be satisfied with Is bales.
Mr.. T. B. Parker, who has recently been over a
number of cotton-growing counties, says the yield
will not be over IS or 80 per cent of last years,
with an early frost it will be even smaller than
this. Two to three weeks late is the report from
every section.

A THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK.

What / do and ever shall regret is the time
which, while young, ] lost in mere idleness and
in doing nothing. This is the common effect of
the Inconsistency of youth, against which I beg
you will be most carefully upon your guard. The
value of moments when cast up is immense, II
well employed; if thrown away, their loss is ire
coverable. Every moment may be put to some
use, and that with much more pleasure than If
unemployed-From Lord Chesterfeld's Letters
to His Son.

His book will undoubtedly reflect credit on the
State. The third bit of news is that DIR. G. AL
phonso Smith, professor of English literature in
our State University, has prepared and published
a textbook, a first book in grammar, for use in
the public schools. We have not seen a copy, but
knowing DR.. Smith as We do, we are not surprised
to learn that it is a work of unusual merit. and
likely to win its way into the schools of MANY
Southern States.

As to our Washington correspondents notice
of cotton growing experiments in Africa, NADIA
gascar and Guiana, we again repeat our conviction
that these efforts need not brighten the Southern
cotton farmer. Even if the experiments succeed,
the increased consumption of cotton goods will
undoubtedly keep pace with the increased produc-
ton of cotton.

Look over the list of Farmers Bulletins, on
page 3, mark those you wish to read, and ask your
Congressman to send them to you. They are
free; you pay taxes to have them printed, and you
ought to use them as much as possible. The
new edition of the Especial Report on Diseases of
the Horse" also mentioned on page 3, is another
publication of great value to farmers. 1t is prob
able that the demand will be so great as to ex-
haust the supply right speedily, and we advise
every subscriber who wishes a copy to apply at
once to his Representative. Bear in mind that
application must be made to members of the last
Congress in districts where the Representative
was not reelected last fall.

Everybody who had the pleasure of hearing
Editor Bliss Perry's polished and thoughtful ad-
dress on "Indiferentism" at Trinity College COM
mencement last June, should procure a copy of
the Atlantic Monthly for September, in which the

tanning the Atlantic's reputation for literary ex-
cellence, and a number of especially interesting

bers of the magazine. Price, 35 cents a copy; 81

The Smithfeld Herald of last week declares that
one of our Superior Court judges is soiling the
ermine and dishonoring our courts of justice by
repeated sprees of drunkenness. This is indeed Il
serious charge, and if true, the Herald deserves
credit for its courage in reporting it. The peo-
pie of the State cannot afford to tolerate such an
offense against common decency as drunkenness
in a Judge must ever be; reform, speedy and COM
plete, or removal from Office, should follow
quickly.

Prof. Gerald Mccarthy makes some timely sug-
gestions in his letter on crimson clover. 1t is a
great protection to land to have some crop grow
ing on it during winter, and many farmers in
Central North Carolina find the grain yield so
small as to discourage extensive sowing of wheat
and oats. Try crimson clover.

Speaking of Mr.. Ashley Horne's advice in re-
gard to holding cotton, we find that there is a
general disposition on the part of the farmers to
follow it. Since the spectators have been getting
from y to Is cents a pound, the producers are
not inclined to sell for less than 10. The out
look for a large yield, the South over, is not near
ly so bright as it was a month ago. We observe
that the Georgia Department of Agriculture last
Thursday issued it's report, placing the condition
in that State at only SO per cent of a full crop.
The Governments figure three weeks ago was 80.

The Bulletin of the State Department of Agri-

exhaustive discussion of "The Relation of the
Cattle Tick to the Cattle Industry" by DR.. TAFT
Butler, State Veterinarian. This is a matter of
vast Importance to the agricultural interests of
the State, and this bulletin should be widely read,
especially in those counties in which the work of
tick determination is being actively pushed.

We direct especial attention to Entomologist
Sherman's advice to wheat-growers who have suf-
