ROER SOLDIER CONVICTED.

Pensacola Journal: Among the many
convictions in the criminal court was
one of more than ordinary interest,
that of Frank Freitag, a former Boer
soldier, who was charged with assault
to rob. The Boer was charged with
having assaulted an old lady near Bo-
hemia several weeks ago. He had de-
serted "A steamer here, and was evident.
ly bound for some other port when he
saw the old lady alone with some money
i'm her hand. The Boer protested
that he was not the right man. and
that he was going to SINNERS mill to
visit friend. The fact that a blood
hound followed the man from the house
to the bridge and then back "A consid-
cradle distance, where he was over
taken, was strong evidence. The old
lady and "A lady friend, the latter hav-
ing fired several shots at the man at
the time. positively identified him.

daily grind of chores that makes the
farmer weary. And now that he has
money he doesn't like to work any
more than less favored mortals. a
good many farmers have therefore de-
termined to give more attention to
stock and to arrange their work SO
that they can get along with minis
mum of hired help.
No proposed legislation this winter
will excite more interest among the
farmers than the effort of the Dough-
erty Farmers Cooperative Company

railroads to allow the erection by any
individual or firm, or corporation. of
an elevator. coal sheds, etc. on the rail-
road right-ofway inside the so-called
yard or between switches. This agi-
tation is not altogether favored by the
merchants and business men of Dough-
erty. Two elevators owned and oper-
ated there now by different concerns
afford fair competition, and the mer-
chants are not anxious for the CO.
operative company to start store or
to sell coal. salt and flour. They claim,
that is some of them do, that such

the interest of faction has struck the

The rank and file of the party does
not regard the Dingley SCHEDULES as

Much that is of interest is brought
out in some Of the tables incidental
to this subject. The percentage Of
farms deriving their principal income
from hay and grain are shown in COM
parison with those depending on live
stock, cotton or dairy products. Thus.
while North Dakota derives SS.4 per
cent Of its income from hay and grain
and only 81 from dairy products, Ve.-
mont claims sos per cent from its
diaries and only 7.6 per cent from hay
and grain. Mississippi 10 most depen-
dent upon cotton, with 1919 per cent,
and Wyoming shows the highest per-
centage OF livestock at 62.2 per cent
Nationality OF farm laborers is also
discussed in some detail the Germans
and Scandinavians showing up strong
ly as foreign home makers on thu
farms, while to some extent Italians
and French Canadians are farming
accessions. the latter coming over the
border into New England. The ratio
OF negro to white labor is shown in
detail for the southern states, and the
high attitudes are not occupied by ne
sroes. even in that section. Thus, ~
Texas as a whole the proportion is one
negro to SO white. but in Comanche
county there are $4,000 whites and no
negroes. In many northern states the
ratio is l 10 1000.
