"Sicilian Bandits
Must Observe
Ethics of the
Road"

Sicily, the home of brigand-
age, is in a ferment over a
gross violation of the ethics
of the calling. Few Sicilians
blame man for being
knight of the road-especially
so long as they, personally,
are never molested-but they
are united in insisting that the
Jesse Jameses of the land shall
conduct their little affairs in
manner above board and
give every man a fair DEAL.
Thus, Salomone, the bandit
who was recently captured,
shot the mayor of Barrafranco
in the back, and whereas he
might have become a popular
hero of Italy. he is now uni
versally execrated.

Notice to Our Subscribers

On and after January 1, 1909,
the subscription price of the
Saturday News will be advanced
from 81. 90 per year to $1.5O per
year. 5s5
The management of the Satur-
day News has been considering
this proposition for the past
year. While we very much dis
like to make the change in the
price of the paper, we consider
it our duty in view Of the ex-
.dessiye cost of print paper,
which is controlled by one Of
the most giantic trusts in the
United States.
Local weekly papers all over
the count try have dvanced their
subscription rates.
However, we will state in this
connection that we will have
something over 2, 900 snbscrib-
ers by the first Of the year and
it would work a considerab BILE
hardship and expense to the
pnbIis her to issue over that
numb Der of a IL and 16 page
paper all home print with orr
present equipment at the old
subscription rate.

A. Sermon in Rhyme.

The sentiment in the following rhyme
is true and 50 beautiful that we feel
like passing it on to our readers. We
find it Christmas greeting sentus by
the Southern Printers Supply Co. Of
Washington:
"If you have friend worth loving,
Love him: Yes, and let him know
That you love him ere life's evenidg
finger his brow with sunset glow;
Why should good words ne'er be said
Of friend-till he is dead?
Scatter thus your seed of kindness,
All enriching as you go;
Leave them; trust the Harvest-giver,
He will make each seed to grow.
So, until life's happy end,
You shall never lack friend.'

Repeal the Lion Law.

When the bill shall be introduced in
the General Assembly at its
approaching session for the repeal of
the Agricultural Lien law the usual
opposition will show itself but with
less probability of defeating it.
The sentiment of the farmers in favor
of repeal has steadily strengthened
until the legislator will scarcely venture
again to ingore their wishes. The bill
for repeal has already passed i'll the
House of more than one Legislature,
but it has regularly been throttled
in the Senate-a body of very
excellent gentlemen, but by no
means so representative of the farmers
or 80 fully informed of their aims as is
the popular body. The State plumes
itself on its conservatism, it balks at
repeating any statute, but the repeated
election of representatives who would
remove this lingering embarrassment
to those cuitivators of the land who
are ambitious, Industrious and thrifty
must impress it.
As we have remarked heretfsore, the
class that would suffer most inconven-
ience from the repeal of the law are
the nonresident landowners, but we
are disposed to believe that they are
not entitled to first consideration when
the interests OF the man who not only
owns the land, but lives unon it, are
at stake.
While there are legislators sonscient-
iously opposed to the repeal of the law,
the overwhelming opinion is that they
are obstructing a measure which would
be of incalculable Efficacy in relieving
the farmers of their difficulty in
obtaining and controlling labor

Query Committee-J. R. Clarke, w.
a. Leaphart, J. J. Frick.
The above were elected to serve for
the ensuing year.
A great many questions came up
for discussion, but perhaps the ques
tion of greatest Importance was that
of cooperation. 1t was urged by all
the members to work together for ths
bettermect of the farmer and tie up
building of the Union.
1t was agreed that the County I'm
