them how TO use them.
They should carry them when they
go out, and they should have them
lying handy around their houses. And
they should not hesitate to bring them
into play at once, if necessity arises.
That method of procedure will do as
much as anything we can suggest to
MAKE the criminal negro pause before
acting out the crimes they contem-
plage. If they know that every woman
in the county is prepared, at any
time and all the time, to deal sudden
death upon them in the event of an
attack these attacks will cease.
A few negroes shot to death in the
moraent of their attempted attacks by
their intended victims will, we believe,
do more towards putting an end to the
present terrible conditions than any
thing else would. The news will spread
that they are armed.
We urge the men of Fulton county to
lose no time, but to give their wives
and daughters pistols, teach them how
to use them. and instruct them TO
USE them on short notice.

Russ,A's INVISIBLE EMPIRE,

Revolution seems to have given place
| to murder in Russia. Instead of peo-
pie rising to throw off a yoke of servi-
! tude, the Russian revolt has resolved
! itself into a terrorist campaign of as
sassination. carnival of dynamitards
and indiscriminate murder. Not re-
form but determination is the present
policy. One after another the selected
victims of the murder branch of the
revolution fall. To be faithful to the
governmental policy of repression
means to walk in deadly and imminent
terror of the assassin. The policeman
draws bomb from under his uniform
and wrecks an official residence The
fresh faced girl on the street or in the
court yard may be the chosen agent of
death. Nothing can protect the object
of nihilistic selection. Soon or late the
late the bearer of the bowstring will
break thru the barriers that separate
him from the ear and the wires carry
again the tale of imperial assassina-
ton.
1t is hard to imagine the condition
that must exist in Russian officialdom,
where death stalks invisible and creeps
hidden at night and noon. More terri>
BILE than open revolt. the nerve racking,
insidious terror that sounds no bugles
and inarshals no array must paralyze
the police, the army and the govern
ment itself The douma has been dis
solved, but who shall prorogue or dis
solve this parliament of death, this in
visible empire that condemns in secret
and executes without warning?

Some Differences in Breeding.

An Illinois subscriber asks us to de-
fine the difference between line breed
ing, inbreeding and close breeding, He
would like to know the advantages and
disadvantages of the different prac
tees, says the Swine Breeders Jour
nal
process of breeding within the mem
bers of one family or of a limited
number of families possessed of SINH
lar types. The same authority defines
inbreeding as a practice of breeding
together of individuals that are close
~ related for a number of successive
generations. Close breeding has been
defined as being very similar to in
breeding, altho the specimens are not
as closely related as in inbreeding.
In line breeding it means "a continue
alton of specimens of the male side in
one family. having family relationship.
The chief object is to obtain uniforms
ty of type in males and to maintain
them. 1t is an effort to gain greater
potency IN the males.
Line breeding is usually beneficial
for time. but will sometimes result in
danger that it will intensity defects as
well as useful qualities. When it does
it becomes an evil. Ultimately it viii
produce all the evils consequent on in
breeding, tho perhaps less in degree.
1t is safe to say that line breeding Fan
not be carried on Indefinitely without
sowing the seeds of ultimate deterior-
alton. The postponement of the evil
day depends largely upon conditions,
such as the skill of the breeder, ana
the management generally.
In the hands of skilled persons both
line and inbreeding have been the
means of producing great good. In the
formation of new breeds inbreeding
was necessary. There is danger how
ever, that there will be a lessening of
the size and loss of stamina.

BlRDsALL'S CASE.

Mr.. Perkins interest in congressman

Of the Third district becomes ansob-

sirous of saving his face a congress-
man who has been whipped into the
progressive line by threats of defeat,
and an officeholder who has grown fat
: in the public service The specific act
the Journal upon him seems to have
been that .'.the Third district man got
on the line With Senator Dolliver at
Des Moines and contributed the full
measure Of his strength to the cause
of reform
This is plain bushwhacking. If any
congressman in the state held digni'-
fed position in the preconvention cam.
paign, Ben Birdsall was the man. He
was enabled to do SO without serious
embarrassment because there were no
threats issued by the Cummins wing
against congressman who saw fit to
let the party settle state issues in it's
own way. Such embarrassment and
threats as Brdsall lay under came
from the Blythe Perkins managers,
whence the threats of reprisal against
Dolliyer. have come since the conven-
ton. Birdsall has not been looked up
on as standpatter. He made his at
titude reasonably clear long ago in
public speech to his own constituents
at an Iowa Falls chautauqua. He was
not one of those who hurried to indorset

A CEMENT SUGGESTION.
ENorthWooa Anchorl

| Attorney Collin is having new
| cement sidewalk built on the east and
north sides of his residence property,
and he is trying the experiment OF
| having the mixture the same thru
out. Going on the theory that under
| drainage is necessary, a thin layer OF
course gravel is put down and on top
! there is placed a four-incll layer of a
| four tO.one mixture of sifted sand and
cement, The walk costs just about
| the same as the old-style cement walk,
and If it is better in any way is that
| it is all built together and must neces-
sarily become solid block when it
| work has been the failure of the diff
ferent layers to unite, permitting the
upper layer to crack and become loos-
ened. The new style walk looks we'll,
and we hope it will prove to be all
right"
DON'T LEAVE MEDICINE AROUND.

| While there are occasions when

such cases and feel the responsibility
