gene Proctor, colored was indicted yester-
day by the grand jury for attempted crimi-
nal assault upon Mrs. Mnner Spencer, a
young white married woman, at her home
near Rosecroft, Prince George county, on
Monday of this week.
Proctors reputation in OXon Hill is excel
lent and no charge has ever been brought
against him. The impression prevails that
in her excited condition Mrs. Spencer has
made a serious mistake. Proctor emphati-
cally denies his guilt and says he will have
no trouble proving an alfbi. Mrs Spencer
has twice identified Proctor the negro
who assailed her, and declares she knows
him well. having frequently seen him at the
Catholic church in OXon Hill.

this phase of the report Judge Merrick took
occasion to say that 1t was notorious fact
that the liquor laws were violated, and he
regarded it disgrace that the guilty
parties could not be unprecedented. The jury

FOR SOUTHERN EDUCATION.
Farmers Bank Suggested at Meeting
Of National Educators at Pinehurst,

PINEHURST, n. c., April 12.-In an adj
dress here yesterday on Better Conditions
for Southern Farms before the confer
ence for education in the south. DR.. Sea-
mon a. Knapp of Lake Charles, La, spe-
cial agent of the United States Department
of Agriculture, spoke of the advantages
to be derived by the farmers in developing
the soil and in this manner increasing the
output of their acreage He said:
1.-The large body of freedmen settled
throughout the rural districts of the south
has tended to lower farm values and de-
press agriculture. The effect Is not the re-
suit of color. but is caused by the lower
plane of living. We have lived under a
slavery, where the chains are ingeniously
forged and the bands riveted with gold 1t
is all the same in effect-the impoverish-
ment of the masses.
DR.. Knapp declared that the national
banking law has caused a depressing in
f1uence by diverting most of the money of
the country into commercial channels. He
advocated the establishment of agricultural
banks throughout the south to provide
money for farmers to harvest their crops
and to improve their farms.
The banking capital of our country he
said, has stimulated comm ercialsm and
by its concentration in the cities has fos-
tered gambling in stocks. The great f1uc-
tuation in the values of farms and farm
products lies in the fact that the money
of the country has been loaned to the spec
ulative interests
Agricultural banks, he said. should be
established to assist in carrying out the
plan of colonizing the country with thrifty
homeowners. Millions produced by the
farms of the nation said DR.. Knapp
have by the process of banking been
transferred to commerce. and no way has
been provided under the law by which the
money of the people can be used by the
people for time investments in providing
for ownership Of rural homes"
The conference ordered DIR. Knapp's
speech printed and circulated in every state
in the south.
Representative Richmond Pearson Hob
son of Alabama, In an address last night
announced that he had arranged with Sec
rotary of Agriculture Wilson for experts
on soil cultivation and good-roads building

tional campaign throughout his congress
