FREE FARMS IN LOUISIANA
And Also Free Transportation to Set
tiers. A States Scheme to In
duCe Immigration.

Louisiana has gone into the immi
grafton business on a practical plan
and rather extensive scale, the main
features and some of the details of
which are given in the following
special from Pittsburg:
Sixteen unemployed Pittsburgers,
having families, have left Pittsburg
for Monroe, La, where they will be
provided with farms, horses, tools
and seed and an opportunity to buy
the land they cultivate. The same
inducements are being offered to
forty other families. Their trans
portation is paid.
All the arrangements are under
the direction of j. l.. Knoeptier, Sec
rotary of the Louisiana State Board
of immigration, who is now in Pitts
burg. Speaking of the plan Mr.
Knoepfier said:
Il am here to give men opportuni-
ty to better their condition. | rep
resent the state and no land COM
panies. We have in Louisiana a.
100000 acres of land and only g.
I'VE want the families to till the
soil and study our methods. The
legislature of Louisiana is promoting
the present plan, and in order to en-
large our scope of usefulness we
must get men who are willing to
work. We want men who are pro-
gressive, and planters with large
tracts of land stand ready and will
ing to aid every man who is willing
to help himself, and sell small farms
on ten years credit. But in the
meantime we are causing immigra-
ton to our state by securing men
who are wiling to farm on shares.
Houses are provided for families who
go. We furnish each family with
horse or mule, seed to plant crops,
ground and garden trucking nipple
ments.

QUEER THINGS IN GEORGIA
Man Convicted of Manslaughter Given
Permission in Open Court to Take
Himself to Convict Camp.


They do some queer things in
Georgia. When ]. w. Cantrell was
convicted of manslaughter and SEN
fenced to six years imprisonment
his attorney "arose in open court
and requested that young Cantrell
be set at large with instructions to
report during the present week to
the prison commission in Atlanta.
Knowing the character OF the man
and the strain of Georgians from
whom he was descended Judge Fite
readily granted this request" Can
trell has gone to serve his sentence.
Now, let us inquire into the evil
dence of the character of the man
for whom Georgia judge establish
ed, as it were, an aristocracy for
criminals. Three years ago Cantrell
was at a dance. He was armed.
With or without justification he con-
sidered Henry Ballew a mortal enc
my, and meeting him at the dance
he shot Ballew to death. The strain
of Georgians from whom he was de-
scended" did not prompt him to fol-
low the crude code of chivalry of
frontier mining camps, and say to
his foe, Are you armed then defend
Yourself" Ballew was shot down
without a chance for his life, because
Cantrell feared being shot by Bal
lew. Then what did the manslayer
do? He fed the state, Joined the
army, and was, after three years,
traced to and captured in New York.
Perhaps the fact that he was but 8
wears old when he killed Ballew Is
some mitigation of his fight from
justice
Hundreds of influential friends and
numbers of lawyers could not save
Cantrell from conviction for man
slaughter. But the Judge, after pass
ing sentence of six years at hard Ia
Dor. discharged him from custody
That was a oueer procedure. We
can conceive of conditions where
stern justice might condemn man,
and the condemnation by law be in
reality badge or nODlll!. ouCH
one would he worthy of the eXtraor-
binary respect shown Cantrell by the
Georgia Judge; but not Cantrell.
That sort of sentiment in courts OF
justice hampers justice. 1t is grant
ing special privileges to criminals.
1t is giving jurors the impression
that judges consider some men
worthy of particular consideration
regardless of their Offenses against
society And that sentiment is
rot, harmful, unmitigated rot.-Co-
lumbia State.

PEOPLES Drug Store assure persons
suffering from distressing indigestion
that they can surely be relieved.
Since nobody knows when people
have suffered from indigestion, sick
headaches, bloating, dizzy spells, dis
tress after eating, sleeplessness ana
many other symptoms of stomach

At last a prescription called MILO
ma stomach tablets is offered TO the

WHAT CROP DIVERSIFICATION HAS
DONE IN POOR REGIONS OF SOUTH

farming which is that he should
raise crops varied enough and in
sufficient quantity to feed his own
family,
In certain sections where the boil
weevil seems to make the raising OF
cotton out of the question the ex-
neriment of raising corn, potatoes
and other garden truck has been
most eminently successful. Alfalfa,
too, has proved a paying crop. On
an abandoned cotton plantation in
the Piedmont region of South Caro-
lima on which not more than one
fourth bale of cotton could be
crown per acre with 250 pounds OF
fertilizer, hay was planted and yield
ed something more than $50 per acre
annually. 49,.
One result of the continued Guilt
walton of a single crop is the intec-
ton of the soil with spores OF tun-
gous diseases peculiar to the plant
grown. The practice results IN d
rapid depletion of soil fertility.
Alfalfa would succeed splendldly
on alluvial soils throughout the
south. especially on river bottoms.
The department suggests the follow
ing for crop rotation: Cotton, cane,
notatoes. corn and peas, alfalfa, mel
ons, sorghum, cabbage, sweet pota-
toese, onions, peanuts, tomatoes ETC.

LETTER TO PROF. j. NJ. BOLANI
Dawson, Ga.

Dear Sir: Here's another prob
lem for those arithmetic and algebra
scholars:
If Devoe is worth $1.75 a gallon,
and spreads a half further than av-
erage paint, and wears twice as long,
what is average paint worth a gall
Ion put-on, painters wages being
$3.50 a day and a days work a gall
Ion of paint.
The answer is minus $175 a gal
Ion. That is: you could afford to
paint with average paint if some
body gives it to you and pays half
the painters wages. Yours truly
