The Passing Of Corea.

The New York American thinks
that the days Of Corea as an inde-
pendent nation are numbered, and
the glory of Yi-Hyeung, Lord Of the
Elephant and King of the -Four Re
gions of Heaven, has departed.
The unhappy Emporer of the Her
nit people, having been told by his
Premier that his abdication was de-
sired, and the bouffe code Of the
empire being that a delicate hint of
this sort must be accepted as COM
mand, he has dutifully stepped down
and out.
It is true the comedy has been
played of installing new Emperor
in the person Of Crown Prince, but
he is an incompetent and a puppet
pulled by silken strings Of japanese
make.
| It is the fact that by treaty the
United States undertook to maintaiu
the territorial integrity Of Corea, and
! it is history that Japan, in 1904,
guaranteed Corea her national inde-
pendence. But treaties and guaran-
tees count little when aggression is a
commercial necessitp and when a
pledge of sentiment is automatically
laughed aside.
There was not even an expression
of real regret when, in 1906, the Co.
rean Legation in Washington closed
it's doors and gave the keys to the
japanese Embassy.
It was acknowledged at the State
Department that the disappearance
Of the black Aower-pot hats would
mean the loss Of g picturesque ele-
ment Of costume; but that was all.
And there will be no protest when
the sun flag Of the Island Empire is
set up in the high place Of the pen
insula. Yi-Hyeung is the thirty
fourth Emperor Of his dynasty, and
though there may be the fare Of an
other Lord of the Elephant, ETC.. the
dynasty is closed, says the New York
American.

Against Coca Cola.

What men of practical judgment
have been looking for is slowly com,
ing to pass. For a long time the best
people of this country have been talk

Two years ago there was an attempt
to place the matter before the legis-
lature Of this state, but we are then
told by the state chemist that there
was nothing in it" Following the
issuance by the United States war
department Of a formal order, the
sale of coca-cola has been forbidden
in ali the army posts of the Atlantic
division. Why? Col. H. E. Robinson
adjutant general of the department
of the gulf, made the following state

A LaWleSS Country.

AS a people we delight in parading
our greatness before the world, but
really we have some things that need
reforming badly. In paper recent
" published and sanctioned by the
American Academy Of Political
Science, Prof. James W. Garner, Of
the University Of Illinois, declares
that "the people Of the United States
stand before the civilized nations as
the most lawless in the world Prof.
Garner produces a table showing that
homicides are now raging around
5000 a year, with only 119 legal ex-
ecutions for 1904, the latter year in
cluded in his statistics.
The United States have ll2 homl-
cides to each million population as
against five in Germany, ten in Eng
land and Wales, twelve in Canada
and II in France. Chicago. with a
third the population Of London, has
eight times as many murders. Of our
host of manslayers we only managed
to execute 116 in 1901, scoring prac-
tically no advance upon twelve years
ago, when killings were but one-hfth
as many. As is notorious, though,
Prof. Garner seems to have no stats
tics on this point, nothing is ever
done to the vast majority of slayers.
AS the Charlotte Observer says
"murderers are acquitted and lioniz-
ed upon pleas which would not be tol-
Grated for a moment in the courts Of
any other civilized country. Lynch
ings increased at a great rate. The
country is more lawless each year
than it has ever been before. Prof.
Garner spoke simple truth when he
assigned US our bad eminence. Is it
not time that the American people,
| if only from sense Of shame, were
opening their eyes to this evil?''
The Observer is right but the prob,
lem is to find a remedy and apply it.

quence it is the hardest work in the
world to convict a man of crime, and
harder still to keep him convicted.
The enforcement of our laws is in the
hands of the juries, the judges and
the lawyers, and the showing this
country makes in bringing criminals
to justice does not reflect any credit
on them. This lax administration of
the law is the sole cause of lynch
law. People are afraid to trust the
courts. and often when they get hold
of a criminal they lynch him and the
good name Of the State is injured

Jumping up and down in wild ex-

throwing hymn books at one anoth-

sect known as Holy Jumpers" were
arrested at Waukesha, Wis, some
time ago.
The people Of that place are in
dignant at the presence of the crazy
sect among them and say they have
ruined the place as a fashionable
summer resort. The Jumpers
were conducting meeting on a
street corner and disturbing a sick
woman in a nearby house when ar
rested.
All the way to the station house
they kept or jumping and shouting
the words: Cry aloud; spare not;
raise your voice like trumpet.
When placed in jail they continued
their noisy demonstrations long into
the night and it is said that the sheriff
turned the hose on them. The result
was six $4,000 suits for damages
against the village. The Holy

THE BAGGING QUESTION.
Some Practical Considerations For
Those Who Raise Cotton.

Farmers, do you know you are
paying an enormous tribute every
year for the shabby "scarecrow"
way you pack your cotton? How
many times will you have to be told
this to make you think and act? How
long will it take you to find that you
stand in your OWL way? If you are
going to be sensible cuisines"
man this coming year, you have the
opportunity to start out on the right
road. Are you going to make an
effort?
We are face to face with the So
called "bagging trust and it IS up
to you to pay or fight. Which will you
do? If we put light bagging on cot
ton, the Union standard, and you
will have a bale small enough that
you can handle with some conven.
ience and will allow you to use any
kind of old bagging, even to common
sheeting, because you will not have
to use hooks in handling. You car
have your ginner do this at practi
cally no expense, for all he need tt
do is to line his press box at eacf
end to 36 inches between with 2xs
plank; cut off the follow block so
will pass up between, and you nee<
not disturb the framework of thu
press at all or the machinery. Fou
ties will be sufficient for this bale
and you will be able to get 40'
pounds of lint in without any trouble
Five to ten dollars will cover the ex
pense at the gin and it will saw
thousands of dollars that is Wastet
now.
Have the ginner brand the exac
weight of the bagging and ties use'
on the bale and the Farmers Cottol
Union will see that you get paid 10
! the difference in weight below tn
25 pounds allowed on coarse bagglne
I recommend this to you as the solu
tion of the difficulty in weights an
in getting a practical package.
The bagging should be lined un
derneath with clean paper so tha
every ounce of cotton in the bal
would open as clean and neat as
new dress. You will get better pa
for your work when you do it bettel
and you should handle a bale c
cotton with the same care and clear
illness you would something you II
tend to eat. There is as much BUS
ness sense In leaving your furnltur
out in the rain as cotton.
Provide warehouses where 1t ca
be protected from every drop OF ral
, aud kept clean.
Yours fraternally,

WILL FIX THEM.
1t Is Claimed That Turpentine Kills
Boil Weeyil.

A dispatch from Atlanta says Pres
ident Harvie Jordan, Of the South
ern Cotton association, will probably
investigate the new spray of turpen-
tine which is said to be an effective
preventative OF boil weevil, and if he
finds that it does the worK he will
probably recommend it to farmers as
a means of getting rid of the pest.
The spray was originated by a
Louisiana farmer, who is said to
have got good results with 1t. Tbs
spray consists Of one part turpentine
to ten parts water, and the plant is
sprayed with it every ten days. Sprays
have been used effectively on fruit
trees and plants, and farmers are
watching with great interest further
experiments that may be made With
a spray of turpentine on cotton.
President Jordan will tour Louis
lana making speeches in the interest
of the association and while there he
will see what results have followed
the use of the spray. Should it prove
effective, it woulc be the most re-
markable discovery of recent years
as no other method has yet been
found which stops the pest.

NEW TYPHOID CURE.
Blood Pumped From Healthy Persons
: into Artery of Patient.

= into Artery of Patient.
New heroic treatment for typhoid
fever was given to DR.. Carl H. Stone,
of Chicago, when few hours before
his death the blood of four persons,
including his wife and brother, H. 0.
Stone, was transfused to the patient.
The eleventh hour attempt to save
DR.. Stones life came in the form OF
one of the most remarkable opera
tions known to medical science and
failed only because of the patient S
extreme weakness. He had suffered
three weeks with the fever.
More than a quart Of blood was
pumped from the bodies of Mrs.
Stone, her brother-in-law, an attache
at the Michael Reese hospital, where
the operation was performed, and
two neighbors, all of whcm yolun-
teered to yield their life fluid to the
man who lay at the point of death.
The infusion was made by means OF a
silver tube placed in small lnclslon
over the artery of the wrist OF eacn
of those who voluteered, and the tube
was connected in like manner to DR..
Stones right wrist.
Then, with the aid of small air
pump, DR.. Kohn forced the blood
into the patients body, after first ad-
ministering an enaesthetic to the one
from whom the blood was being
drawn.
The volunteers were taken to the
bedside one at time, placed on a
chair and put under an anaesthetlc.
Although the loss of blood and the
ordeal of the operation was severe
strain on Mrs. Stone, she withstood
it at the time. After her husband S
death, few hours later, she collap-
