~ counsel given by Judge Niles
is regarded as it should be by all

Attention. Farmers Of Lincoln County


Having been sent to your coun-
ty by your State officials of the
Farmers Educatiye and Cooper
alive Union of America to con-
duct a campaign of education in
the interests of that organization,
and to organize local unions
throughout the county, through
the kind permission of the editor
of this journal, | wish to make a
Eshort statement Of the objects and
aims of that organization.
The Farmers Union originated
in Texas, little less than four
years ago. One of the prime OBJ
jects is to promote the brother
hood of man, and to draw the far
mers of our land into closer
fraternal brotherhood and to
create better social relation be-
tween them. 1t is strictly white
mans organization, and only
those having good moral charac-
ter are eligible to membership.
Our constitution requires us to
be law abiding citizens, and to be
ready at all times to aid in the
suppression Of crime. And as
every other branch of industry,
and every branch of our CONNER
clal business is now thoroughly
organized, in order that they may
be better prepared to conduct
their business successfully with
out that old time competition, it
is also necessary for the farmer to
organize to keep pace with the
changing conditions of business.
This is progressive age, an age
of organization; and the man who
does not line up to date is not in
the race.
We are strictly a farmers or
ganlzation to attend strictly to the
farmers business, and not inter
fere with other peoples business.
We are not organized as a mer-
chants or banking organization,
we have plenty of organizations
for those branches of business
already, and we are willing for
those branches to manage and con-
duct their own affairs; and as they
do not take the farmer into their
organizations, why should we
take the merchant or banker into
our farmers Uniong We would
not be any benefit to them if we
we're admitted; we would know
but little about conducting their
business, and | fail to see where
in it is necessary to have the mer-
chant and banker in our union.
Let each organization manage and
conduct its own special vocation,
and one organization should not
antagonize the other; but all
should cooperate together for the
upbuilding of our country, and to
make every branch of industry or
business prosperous, for unless
| all branches are prosperous, our
country is not prosperous.
In advocacy of these principles
l will meet the farmers in the
vicinity of the new school house
near the residence of Willis Bow
man on Saturday, the 18th Of
May, 1906, at s O'Clock p. m.; at

lin county white cap cases in the
United States Court at Jackson,
which were set for trial at the
May term, came to sudden ter
mination yesterday afternoon by
all of the indicted men entering
a plea of guilty and throwing
themselves on the mercy of the
court. The indictments on which
the prosecution was based were
returned by the grand jury at the
May term, 1905, and originally
included 30s citizens of Franklin,
in which they were charged with
entering into an unlawful con-
spiracy, as members of secret
organization commonly known as
the Farmers League or white
caps, to intimidate and interfere
with the rights of certain negro
/ homesteaders during the month Of
December, 1902. Among the in
dicted men were the county repre-
sentative, sheriff, circuit clerk,
treasurer, assessor, coroner and
ranger and several beat officers of
the county.
The first indictment selected by.
the attorneys for the Government
to go to trial on included Sheriff
Newman, who was president of
the Franklin County farmers
League, and nine others promi-
nent in that organization. A mo-
|tion by counsel for the defense
for a severance was promptly
overruled by the court, and then
all of the accused we're arraigned
and entered plea of not guilty.
During this part of the proceed
ings, the court room was packed
almost to suffocation by the In
dicted men, the witnesses, lawyers
and spectators.
j When one after another of the
/ defendants answered mot guilty.
to the indictment which had been
read to them, Judge Niles abrupt
ly ended this part of the proceed
ings by ordering the clerk to en-
ter the same plea for the entire
number without calling the roll
further and declared the court ad-
I journed untik 2::30 p. m.
Before court reconyened at 2:30
p. m. the report gained general
circulation that all of the indicted
men had decided to withdraw the
plea entered in the morning and
enter a plea of guilty. At the
afternoon session the court room
was more densely packed than at
the morning session. The accus-
ed filled nearly every foot of
standing room behind the bar.
Hon. G. M. Williamson, leading
counsel for the defense, then ad-
dressed the court briefly and con-
cluded by entering plea of guilty
for all those under Indictment.
Judge Niles responded by de-
livering long and impressive
lecture to the men before him,
appealing to their better impulses
and judgment and urging them te
$50 live in the future as to redeem
their own and their county's GOOD
name from the charge of lawless-
ness, and concluded by imposing
on each one a sentence of three
months il Jail and fine of $3.50
the imprisonment being suspend
ed during good behavior.
This ending Of these prosecu
tions was signal triumph for th'

FOR THE FRISCO SUFFERERS.
IA Call to the Citizens Of Brookhaver

The earthquake at San Francisco
on April 18th proved to be the
direst calamity which has ever
come to an American city. The
situation does not become less se-
rious as the days 60 by. To pro-
vide for the moneyless and home
less will be problem for weeks
to come.
The only bright page in this sad
chapter has been the ready and
liberal responses of material
things to the needs of these unfor-
tunate people. The national con-
gress led with gift of two mil
lion dollars. States, cities, cor
porations, churches, associations,
towns and individuals have re-
sponded cheerfully and literally.
While some contributions have
been sent from Brookhayen by in
diyiduals we feel that what has
been done is not commensurate
with what our town ought to do
for these stricken people.
In view of these facts we, here
by call a meeting of the citizens
of Brookhaven at the opera house
on Sunday, May 18th, at $3.50 p.
M, to formulate some plans to Sc
cure donation which will prop
erly represent the town.
The pastors of Brookhaven are
requested to give notice of this
meeting at their services Sunday
morning.

Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1906-11-14

The first premium sale of choice of
lots at Wildwood Crest, in which SO
many ofthe business people of our is
land are interested, took place last
Thursday. Many people were present
and number of the contract holders
came down on the morning trains
which were run through to the Crest.
Lunch was served by Caterer Edward
T. Fries at the Crest pier from eleven
to twelve o'clock. The day was beau
tiful one, mild and sunny, typical
autumnal day. The sale took place at
the real estate office of Baker Bros. and
was conducted by Auctioneer John A.
Ackley, of Vineland. In his opening
talk Mr.. Ackley dwelt upon the great
possibilities of the Crest and the Five
Mile Beach in general, and il would
not surprise us if many of the contract
holders in the sound of his voice would
live to see his predictions fulfilled.
This island is growing SO rapidly that
1t is excelling probably any resort on
the Atlantic coast, with the single ex-
ception, perhaps, of Atlantic City.
This rapid growth and development is
due to the influence, the work, the tact
and patience of Baker Bros, as it is to
no other one man or set of men. The
sale commenced shortly after noon and
continued until nearly five o'clock.
About 300 lots were in this syndicate.
The fact that the premiums amounted
to about $50, 900 is proof that the sale
was more than a success. 1t estab-
lished the fact that the Crest is a good
place to invest. A good portion of this
premium fund will be returned to the
contract holders as per the terms of
contract, one contract holder figuring
that about $400 would be returned on
each contract. If improvements at
the Crest continue for two years at the
pace set during the past year trans
formation will result that will be a
revelation to the thousands who are
watching the development of South |
Jersey seashore resorts. We say, keep
your eye on Wildwood Crest.
