| All one and the same. The peo-
lple chose to administer their laws,
Indeed they choose to be their own
Judge, jury, and Jurisprudence.
And the savage instinct, which after
all IS the natural instinct, is but
thinly yelled today, behind the We
neer Of civilization. It is not des-
Itroyed. Evidences are multiplying
day by day. to establish the asser-
ton that the people are maddened
by the sight of blood; the cry as
one calling from the grave, comes
up to them from the blood of him
slain by the hand of his fellow, and
vengeance supplants reason, as the
primal instinct breaks through the
thin crust of sensibilities, and makes
|murderers Of the lawless avengers
OF brutal crime.
Why the mobl
Because the law has ceased to be
q restraint on the popular passions,
inflamed to. blood thirsttiness by
deeds OF blood.
Because the law has lost its
majesty in the concessions of its
votaries to lawlessness, in the
tricks and combines of its admins
tration, and in the partial and bella
ted justice it measures out to often
ders.
Because the law is no longer4the
"voice of the people," but the ul-
timatum of the trusts and corpora
tons, the edict of political tricksters
the spoliation of graft and competi-
tive preferment.
TO kill. to avenge. in defiance of
the law, is to murder the law;
which hazardous practice, persisted
in, means eventually the overthrow
of government, the shackling of
ninety millions of American people,
the retroversion of the republic to,
the savage councils of the forest
fire, add the decadence of the Amer
lean citizen with his unfettered bal
lot, to the jungle man, with spear,
or blunted blade, or tomahawk to
work his savage will.

Because the law is no longer the
"voice of the people. !"

Why the Mob?

The ClarksdaIe Challenge, one
of the ablest edited country news
papers in the south, asks and an
sWers that question in the manner
and form as follows:
The question is pertinent one
particularly at this time:
Why the mob?
In the days of old, before the abb
stract idea of justice, or the unvoic-
ed desire for restitution had crys-
talized into the eoncreteness of
courts and legal procedure, the
people spoke their will, unhindered
by the firms and technicafities that
thWart as often as they fulfill the
purpose of that law.

u the limbs will lap and create

LOT The limbs will lap and create a
shade.
Use little fertilizer when seed
lis planted 50 that the plant will get
Ia quick start. After cotton IS
chopped out use a little more
fertilizer around the plant to push
lii rapidly.
Plant the earliest maturing va
lrieties OF cotton seed. The Tri-
Iumph variety is recommended as
|onc of the best and most prolific
|coton that could be planted. This
plant has short limbs and does not
make as much shade as the ordi-
mary varieties now in use in Kinds
county. Seed should be planted
between the middle Of March and
tho first week in April, according to
weather conditions.
Frequent shallow cultivation is
absolutely necessary after the
cotton comes up. If rain comes
and packs the ground, run har-
row over the rows. This can be
done before aad after the cotton
comes up. The crop must be kept
|clean and must not suffer from
want of cultivation. The rows
must be broad and as flat as pos
Sible.
Burn all cotton and corn stalks
and all other trash in the field
where the weevil can hibernate.
Burn around stumps, burn out
fence corners and burn off woods
around GOTTEN fields.
PloW the land deep after burning
off all rubbish. Use a big two
horse pillow. This will bury all
Weevils left after burning.
Mr.. Bulkeley said if these rules
were carried out a good crop of
cotton could be made in the pres
ence of the weevil.'

Prayer For Sunday Schools.

The Worlds Sunday School
Association, which met in the city
of Rome in May Of last year. did
much work the effects of which
will be far reaching for good. But
in our opinion nothing more im-
portant was done than when, by
unanimous vote, it recommended
that one day of each year be set
apart as a day of prayer for the
Sunday school cause.
In obedience to the aforesaid
recommendation, the executive
committee, have issued the follow
ing call, which we hope our people
will hear and obey:
To Evangelical Christians in all
lands.
Greeting: The worlds Sunday
School Association, assembled in
the city of Rome, recommended
that the third Sunday in October
of each year be observed by
evangelical churches everywhere
as a day of prayer for Sunday
schools throughout the world, and
the executive committee was
charged with the duty of publish
ing this recommendation.
You are therefore invited to OBJ
serve Sundy October 10, 1908, by
engaging in public and private
prayer to Almighty God for a
special blessing upon Sunday
schools in all lands. Every child
of God, young or old, learned or
otherwise, may constitute link in
this chain of prayer which is in
tended to encircle the globe,
Strengthening the tie which unites
us in common bond of service,
deepening our affection for each
other and increasing our zeal in an
effort to secure the universal study
of the word which is "the power OF
God unto salvation to every one
that believeth. -
In order that this recommends
ton may have the widest publicity
possible, we earnestly invite the
cooperation of the religious and
secular press, ministers of the
gospel, Sunday school superintend.
ents, and all others who are in
terested in the work of the Sunday
school. "And all things whatso-
ever We shall ask in prayer, be-
liev;ng, ye shall receive. ]"
By direction of the executive
committee Of the Worlds Sunday
School Association.

Tomatoes.

AS soon as the frost nips the
vines gather all the green tomatoes
and wrap each in a paper, and pack
in crates and put in cool cellar.
Then you can bring out few at
a time and put in warm room to
ripen, and can, in this way, have
tomatoes for slicing till the middle
of January, for ! have done it.
The best way is to have late
planting that will comet n full of
fruit just at the right time.-Ex-

How to Get Ahead of the Boil
Wecvil.

At the Farmers Institute at Ray.
mond on the 10th of this month,
Mr.. Buckley, of Louisiana, who
farms in the pest ridden district of
that state, gave the following as an
almost sure plan to make cotton in
spite of the boil weevil.
Reduce acreage in cotton to
facilitate rapid cultivation. Plant
more corn, peas, potatoes and
cane.
Plant such land as the farmer
has that will mature the crop early.
He said new land or fertile bot
toms should not be planted in cot
ton. Land should be planted
where the sun will shine on it all
TIE time.
Pulverlze the soil thoroughly and
break deeper than ever before;
deep blowing is absolutely essential
TO make cotton grow faster and
mature early.
The rows must be five and a
half feet apart so that the sun can
have access to every part of the
plant. The sun will dry up the
Epunctured squares and they will
fall off and the eggs will not hatch,
as the hot rays of the sun are very
fatal to the boil weevil and its
eggs. Leave stand so that none

An analysis OF the vote OF tho
state shows thai If the other coun-
ties OF the state had done as well
as Mercer, Mcdowell, Ohio Cabel
and Wood, Bennett would have been
'eiecte1. About 900 Republicans in
Mcdowell and 400 in Mercer voted
for him. but T.! many of the smaller
counties 1t was practically n strict
party vote. Lewis alone OF the In

siderable Republican vote. The
