A PRACTICAL LESSON FOR THE
PEOPLE.

And yet two wrongs do not make a right
and the State should not attempt to answer
disrespect Of law with disrespect of law. Ev-
cry State officer and every citizen is sworn
to support the Constitution and laws of the
United States no less than the Constitution
and laws Of his own state. To esAl upon the
people to ignore a decision of United Sta
ties court is therefore no less a species Of law
lessness than it would be to call upon them
to ignore a decision of State court. The
easy independence Of the old plantation life,
the natural disorder engendered by four
years Of war, and then the shame and Oppres-
sion of wild Reconstruction legislation which
seemed in part to justify observation-disclosures
things have kept the South from developing
that stern and splendid regard for law-law
because it is law-which was the glory Of
Rome in it's best days and without which no
people can be truly great. Federal Judge
may be wrong; very we'll, the Supreme Court
of the United States, unimpeachable and I'M
assalable in it's integrity, stands ready to
correct him. The recent conflicts of Federal
and State authority in North Carolina South
lend especial pertinence to these sugges-
tions; and the leaders Of our people would do
we'll to err on the side of an overly scrupulous
respect for the courts rather than encourage
acknowledgements Farmer.

and equity on our side we WILL win.
The fight for the farmers rights has but
fairly begun. But we honestly believe the
greatest obstacles have been overcome and
their worst enemies have been encountered
and routed. Therefore may we not hope the
calling that gives to mankind bread, meat and
raiment will soon be exalted to the position
to which it is entitled by divine and human
right but which it has always been denied.
AS there are several thousand subscribers
who have not yet renewed their subscriptions,
although we have reached the twelfth hour,
we want to thank them one and all for their
kind favors in the past, and to wish them hap
piness, good health, and, if farmers, that
they may soon live under better conditions
on the farms than ever in the past And
now, to such unless they conclude to renew
after receiving this April LIST. number, we
say "Good-bye!"- A. Everett, Up-To-
Date Farming.

THE PENSION PAYMENTS.

The legislature last year changed the order
of paying the state pensioners. From the
time the state has begun paying pensions to
old Confederate soldiers and their widows
these pensions had been paid annually Last
year this was changed to quarterly payments
This was done because it was easier for the
state to meet these payments quarterly than
annually, and because it was thought also to
be more advantageous to the pensioners to
receive quarterly payments than to be com
PEELED to wait a whole year.
We have in this state a party, small but
exceedingly active, which is bitterly hostile
to the administration. This faction has
bounced upon the quarterly pension system as
weapon with which to fight the governor
True, he was not responsible for the change
in the pension system, a change that was
made by the legislature, but it is used to
arouse antagonism to him and the administra-
ton. And desperate efforts are being made
to create dissatisfaction with him by this
means.
1t is the politicians who are doing this, for
the purpose indicated above. Will the pen
sioners allow themselves to be used to fur
Their this cause of disgruntled politicians, and
pull chestnuts out of the fire for them?
The new plan of paying pensions is exper-

A FEW PERSONAL WORDS FROM
THE EDITOR

Nothing could possibly be more gratifying
than the thousands of letters from subscrib-
ers commencing the course pursued by this
paper during the last five months and the
satisfactory outcome, the result of our policy
Very true, a few did not approve, as all the
people never are unanimous on any one sub
iect or policy. We, however, console ourselves
that those who disapproved were deceived
and stubbornly refused to be undeceived by
the overwhelming mass of evidence and proof
of the justice and equity Of our position.
To those who thought too much time was
taken to prove the claims Of "up-to-date
farming in the unfortunate controversy, if
such it may be called and to other subscrib-
ers we want to say that in the future Cup
to-date farming will surpass itself in urg-
ing united action by farmers to better their
condition through organization, cooperation,
pledging of crops, control of supply and sci
entifc or at least systematic marketing.
Thus, pledging this paper to continue the
fight for the farmers industrial freedom and
independence we again call upon all members
and subscribers to continue their support and
to increase their zeal to extend its circulation
and the organization of the society. We are

department has resented these criticisms, at
least as applying to present conditions, and
has made an experiment Of its own IN the way
Of comparison It procured from seedsmen
large number Of packets of vegetable seeds,
and tried to grow them. At the same time
it experimental with samples Of the seeds
sent out under congressional order during
the past six years. The results are as fol
lows: The quality of the seeds purchased
from seedsmen is poor the average germlna-
ton of 2,778 packets of 26 kinds fom q
seed packeting houses being only 622 per
cent The average termination Of seeds from
one firm was 80 per cent, and from another
45 per cent. The variation in termination
Of different packets of the same kind Of seed
from the same firm was in several cases more
than 90 per cent By 81 Of the 81 seedsmen
whose seed was tested, 200 lots Of seed we're
put up which terminated ten per cent or less.
By Is packeting houses, 81 lots Of seed were
put up which entirely failed to terminate.
The average termination of the purchased
seeds tested was over % per cent lower than
that of those sent out In the congressional
distribution during the past six years. The
department concludes that the purchaser
should receive some sort of guaranty as to the
quality of the seed he is buying and hereaf-
ter it will insist on such a guaranty before
any seed is purchased Farmers Advocate.

SOUTHERN FARMERS.

The developments during recent years are
making more certain the prosperity Of the
southern farmers who cooperate and diver
sify
One of the greatest hindrances to the adop-
ton Of the plans of diversified farming from
the first was the lack Of cooperation among
farmers. Many at first discouraged those
who could see the advantages to be gained by
Investigation of crops and refused to coop
crate in the harvesting and shipping Of crops.
This doubt and Indifference, however, is dis
appearing and the farmers who diversity are
prospecting as never before.
By cooperation and organization fruit grow
ing and truck raising can be made quite prof
liable, and satisfactory freight rates obtained
to markets. Then when such things are
grown in sufficient quantities to justify the
merchants will send buyers to the shippers
instead Of their having to go to the buyers.
By organization the growers can also meet
together and discuss their interests, the va
rious features of growing and cultivation and
the best varieties of plants, fruits, etc.
With the success of Investigation and or
ganization canning factories could be estab-
lished in every community and all the surplus
of the garden and farm saved from waste
In the West "home canners' have been used
with remarkable success-every grower has
his own "canner." Another nice feature a.
bout the canning industry is that it does not
require very much capital to establish a
plant. BY cooperation few neighbors can
get together and build neighborhood can
ming plant.-Opelika Post.

ing the hot season there are times when bath is very enjoyable, espec. ially a cold bath. But here was no enjoyment last night, and the water coming from the Ice cold springs made the ducking especially objectionable. As they crawlod ignomlnlously up the banks they were set upon by swarms of mosquitoes, and weljed their weary way back to the camp trying to there in abundance.
 The older men found one rookie who had failed in some way to be thrown into the brook, and they or dered him to guard barrel of water with his life. For over an hour he patroled the section of the camp near the barrel and kept all thirsty people away at the point of his gun.
 The soldiers had shore dinner yes. terday and say that 1t was .ne of tho finest ever. All through the camp there has been no kick about the food, and the Hartford companies who came fortified against pad layout, say that there was no heed for the precaution. The Hartford companies bought dozens and dozens of eggs with the companies funds and had had fresh eggs scrambled at least once a day, refusing the eggs offered by the commissary.
 To-day camp will be broken and the soldiers will return home. While they have had good slme at East Haven they say that there is no com parison with Mantle and hope to go there next year.

TO TRY EBERHARD
Attempt Will Be Made to Have Him Indicted as Soon as
 Possible.
ACTRESS IN THE CASE
Groccr's Boy Said He Committed Mur- der Because She Needed
 the Money.

Hackensatk. N. J., July 24-YounE August Eberhard, the Manhattan groc- CTS boy Is lying in the jail here in 8 state of collapse, after confessing the murder of his aunt according to the police An attempt will be made to have him indicted and tried as soon as possible.
 Eberhard's confession, which followed almost immediately on the wild story that he told, was almost as strange in some of It's details as his original one. According to his tale, after he had got safely away and was hundreds of miles from Hackensack, he was lured back to the scene of the crime by an irrcsisti- ble impulse such as one reads about in books In his confession he said that after he had shot down his aunt and wounded his cousin he fled to the west, and kept travelling by boat and by rail, buying short-trip tickets and keeping on the move. In the breast pocket of his coat he carried loaded revolver and his hand was always on 1t. Once he said when he passed po- llceman who looked at him he cooked the gun ready to fire if the policeman spoke to him.
 Finally the irresistible impulse brought him back to Little Falls, near the scene of the crime. Tbere he had buried the money which he had taken from the dead body of his aunt. He had thought of suicide, he said, and was thinking about it when the plan sug- gested itself of telling story about being attacked and held prisoner by Italians. He shot himself In the leg, first tying a handkerchief around tho limb, so that the powder marks would not show and then waited to be cap- tured by the Paterson authorities.
 The story which he thought SO credi- ble did not stand long under the cross- fire of the chief of police and prose. cutor, and with good deal of bravado he then told the story of the murder and the events that followed 1t. One thing he would not acknowledge, and that was that the deed had been planned It followed, he said, another Irresistible impulse which came when he thought of the money that his aunt had He also spoke of an actress with whom he was in love and who needed the money. The actress for whom he says he did the crime is member of Rockaway Beach She says that she has never even seen the little German grocer's clerk
