SHOOTS NEGRO'S DOG
AND THEN THE NEGRO
James Davis, at Gadsden, Skaters
Negroes Arm, Leaving Him
In Critical Condition.

Gadsden. January 5.-(Special. FLAMES
Davis, white, an employee of the steel
plant, shot an inoffensive negro about
dusk this afternoon at his home near
Black Creek. Davis was hunting and
shot the negro's dog in the yard. The
negro came out and asked why he did so,
and Davis said: ID you, l will kill
you, too,' and fired, the load entering
the negro's left arm, shattering it from
the elbow down. necessitating amputa-
ton.
The negro Is in a critical condition.
Davis made his escape.
and methodical policy is being introduced
in the French colonial possessions. There
the difficulties are sometimes very great
because the havoc has been more COM
plete. In conclusion he pointed out as
his auditors well knew, that there are
two great classes of forests and no more
the wild and the civilized forest PEG
pie who know forests only through books
fancy that the wild forest Is the thing.
The truth is quite different; virtue, like
all plants Of price, needs cultivation;
forests need the eye, the mind, the heart
of men.
other Speakers.
Other speakers were b. L. Virgins,
vice-chancellor of the University of the
South. who presented the necessity Of
the study of forestry in the great educa-
tional institutions of the country as the
overshadowing question of the twentieth
century, and Representative John Lamb
of Virginia, who depicted the disastrous
results on the 100000 farmers of the
country of denudation and unnecessary
destruction Of the forests.
Mr.. Lamb said the farmers of the coun-
try, for whom he spoke hailed with APP
probation the work of the forest con-
gress and expressed the hope that
through their interests in forestry re-
newed growth of forest might be re-
garded as an accomplished fact In the
Atlantic states particularly and through
out the country generally.

Expert Accountant.

The necessity for an examiner of
the public accounts is making itself
felt more and more every day. One
county after another is being robbed
by its supervisor and county board.
For9eries and embezzlements are
getting to be common in the proud old
Palmetto state. Last but not least in
this hunliliating record comes R1cE1-
land, with shortage Of S5I 100000
which was so skillfully manipulated
as to have gone on without discovery
for more than four years. This one
shortage would have paid the salary
of an examiner and all of mis- expenses
for fifteen years. The system used
with the National banks by the Unit
ed States government under which
an examiner walks in at any moment
and goes through all the accounts
is badly needed for the county ottl-

and postohice inspectors. One man
could not do the work in this state
but it would be, better to pay THE sala-
ries and expenses of half a dozen

rors which we now have. In Green

ages are very large and in Edgefield

are being examined. 1t would be a
blessing for THE officers themselves to
know that they were to be checked

Election upon an honest man to know
that he might be checked up any
day without notice by an officer ap-
pointed by the state for that pur-
pose. It would make the officers who
handle other peoples money more
careful, for we believe that many OF
the shortages come from carelessness
and possibly inefhciency.
This is a matter which should have
the attention of our legislators.

The Crucial Test

This is the time for the farmers
to stand to the rack. Cotton went
below ten cents last week. The South
ern Corton association has fixed the
minimum price at eleven cents and
practically all of the subordinate Or
CARNATIONS have adopted and en-
dorsed this action, and all of the
farm ers had about made up their
minds before this action not to mar
ket their COTTON for less than ten cents
Per pound.
Now is the time for the farmers to
say by their action whether they will
be free or not. If they do not stand
the test now they need never try to
organize again. They have the sltua-
tion in their own hands. Last spring
with fourteen, million bale crop they
forced the price from six and seven
cents I'D to ten. With smaller crop
ROW it will only take a little unlted
effort on the part of the farmer to
keep it. above ten cents. We want to
see this done before the cotton goes
Out bf the hands Of the farmers so
that the producer may receive. the
benefit. When the farmer prosptrs
all other business prospers in proper
zion. From all sections of the cotton
belt comes the news that the farmers
are holding for eleven cents and no
cotton will be sold: In our own coun-
ty the farmers are holding. They
agreed to hold at least until the 18th.
Let them stick and victory is theirs.
The bankers, merchants and bus1-
ness men generally are willing to CO.
operate. The farmers never had a
more pnopitious time to win.

In a recent speech Mr.. Simmons,
New York banker, calls attention to
this species of gambling or specula-

He says among other things:
"Disl1onesty in high places in the
state, the judiciary and grear flnan-
cial institutions and corporations and
DalEation of such acts by the masses,
gravely theraten the future OF the
country" He pointed to the lessons
taught by the fall Of the ancient
Roman republic, the reign OF terror III
France and the disasters which beteil

due to palliated dishonesty. i hear

He deplores the conditions which
have led men 70. tolerate the terms
'graft" and ''grafters," and said he
feared THE very use of the words was
an indication of mems tolerance of

the members of the association to

condition which makes it possible
"for men who pose as the salt Of the
earth and who condemn, without re-

check for $1oo, or accept bribe, to
themselves make millions by lying, by
misrepresentation, by fraud and by
bribery" without receiving punish
ment or even criticism, while the man
who steals the paltry sum is sent to-
the Jail. He denounced the men of

is an evidence as the News and Cour-
ier says THAT the farmers are more
prosperous and consequently other
people are more prosperous and be-
sides they are more inclined to put
it on deposit. Nearly all the farmers
now keep a bank account. With the
