Deep Flowing Better than Shallow


The Alabama Station finds in its ex-
perrin ents with cotton very different
results from those predicted by Prof
fessor Welborn. 1t was shown that
blowing land for cotton six and a half
inches deep increased the returns
$4.13 per acre over the same soil
plowed four and a half inches deep.
Thus moderate two-horse blowing
would increase the value of crop on
a thirty field well-nigh 1925 over
the four and half inches with one
horse. That would enable farmer
easily to buy another horse. The
same station found that bedding in
March gave better results than bed
ding in December. This might well
be the case, since the freshly prepar-
land would be in better condition
than that which has lain all winter.
But in any upland soil the time is
coming when bedding for cotton will
be the rule, with weeder and harrow
used in the early cultivation. Farm

Slaughter of Citizens for the VIM
dication of the Laws Delay.

There Is great rejoicing that a
mob in Spartanburg, :. c., has
been shot to pieces by the soldiers
and numbers of citizens killed and
wounded in order that the law may
be allowed to take its course in the
case Of a negro ravisher or criminal
assailant of white woman.
This would he something to re-
ioice over if there were any assur-
ance that the law would mete out
swift and severe punishment upon
the criminal. but that the news
comes from Spartanburg that there
would, in all probability, have been
no mob i'm the cas- if the peopl of
that town had not believed from
past experience that the due course
of law meant indefinite delay IL
criminal cases. with every prospect
of final escape from all punishment
by the machinery Of Justice
The story i'm the case IS that the
popular Indignation was largely if
not wholly due 10 the presence IN
the Jail of two other negroes, whose
punishment bad been grossly de
}qycd. The trial Of one, charged
with wrecking a train, with the re-
sult that the engineer and fireman
were killed. was continued over the
last term Of court. The other ac-
cused of revolving murder, has
been twice convictrd, according 10
the statement from Spartanhurg,
and it is presumed, from his con
timing in the Jail, that his law
yers have not yet exhausted their
devices.
The simple fact is that the peo-
pie are rabidly losing confidence
i'm the law : methods of dealing
with criminals. When the ease
happens not to arouse public in
dignation the people care nothing
as to what may be the outcome
But when the crime Is so fragrant
that the people believe there should
be prompt and terrible punishment
they give no thought to the law
and its machinery of delay, and If
possible take matters in their own
hands.
1t may be a grand vindication of
the majesty Of the law that citizens
shall be shot down i'm their streets
i'm order that the most atrocious
criminals shall enjoy months and
years Of exemption and even final
escapes from.all punishment, but it
is a sort of vindication against
which there will one day be a gen
eral and terrible uprising New

Our Game Laws.

As the hunting season approaches
the question of enforcing the game
laws becomes a more and and seri-
Gus problem. The State has one OF
the most stringent statutes on this
subject Of any Of the states, and the
least effective machinery for its en-
fOrcement.
In addition to the stringent state
laws, additional powersare conferred
upon boards Of supervisors in the rs
counties to impose further restric-
tons, even to the extent of closing
down the bars entirely for one or
more years, which is so indefinite as
to practically mean that the season
might be closed forever. in the dis
cretion of the supervisors of any
county desiring it.
But the machinery for the enforce
ment of the game laws is their weak
point, and up to this time there has
been practically no enforcement in
any of the counties.
The provisions of the law for the
appointment Of game warden in
each county are such as to leave it
optional with the supervisors as to
the compensation and duties of that
official, and very few of the counties
have made such appointment, and
those wardens which have been ap-
pointed have tired of the job too
early to be Of any service in the en-
forcement of the game laws.
1t is generally conceded that the
provisions of the statute which gives
to the informer halfth fines collect
ed for violation of the statutes is not
effective, because very few men care
to make themselves personally OBJ
noxious TO their neigh bors by report
ing violations, where it Is apparent
or to be presumed that they do it for
the money they get out of it. 1t is
therefore, regarded as a legislative
mistake to have incorporated such a
provision into law, the net result of
which is that there might as we'll be
no law at all.
On the other hand. there is a sen
timent gradually growing in favor of
a stricter enforcement of the law for
the protection of quail particularly,
which is likely to result in the re-
porting of violators of the law by
real sportsmen, who, however, will
not claim the compensation granted
by law. Theoretically the law IS
good one, but practically it has been
a failure.
As a result, 1t now appears likely
that in most of the counties proyis-
ions will be made for the employ
ment of a game warden who shall
draw a salary instead of a proper
ton of the fines. and who will en-
force the law. But this is made
possible more by the new sentiment
than by any of the workings of the
game laws.
In the meeting of the Kinds
county board of supervisors at
which a score or more spOrtsmen
expressed themselves on the subject,
il became evident that there is
desire to have the game laws en-
forced. and that an effort would be
made at the next session of the |
not to have the game
avs amended, but to have the |
manner of enforcing them changed I

/ This Company's line Of railroad
runs through a very rich and pro-
/ ductive prairie country commencing
at Wahalak,, Miss, and extending
to Okolona, Miss, a distanc of
about eighty miles. This broad
/ territory during the Civil War grew
enough grain to supply the western
army, artillery and cavalry horses
Of the Confederacy as far east as
Atlanta. 1t was called the Egypt
of the Condfederacy. 1t grows ex-
ceptional cotton and corn. About
three years ago the farmers in this
territory began experimenting IN
the growing Of alfalfa, and today
there is a considerable movement in

1t has been the policy of the
management of the Mobile and Ohio
Railroad Company to encourage all
efforts on the part Of the farmers to
destroy their crops.
YELLOW PINE LUMBER.
The Transporting Of yellow pine
lum Der in prosperous times when
the mills are in full operation, rep
resents about twenty-five per cent
OF the business Of this Company.
It is an established fact that when
ever and depression in business
occurs, lum Der is the first 10 feel
it and the last to recover As soon
as the depression in business was
felt in the latter part OF November,
1907, the movement of lumber
ceased absolutely. 1t is an en-
couraging sign that there has been
a distinct but not large revival of
this traffic since July /, 1908.
COTTON.
Thirty years ago the annual
movement of cotton presented about
seventy-five per cent of the business
of this Company, and this continued
until eighteen or twenty years ago.
Such a variety of miscellaneous
traffic, through and local, has now
developed, that the cotton business
at present represents only about
two or three per cent of the total
tonnage moved. During the period
referred to, the success of the Com
pany was depended upon a large
cotton crop. The diversifcatiOn OF
tonnage is consequently a signiti-
cant evidence ofestablishedstrength.
FRIENDLY RELATIONS WITH
THE PUBLIC.
The resident management has
kept in close touch with the Com
pany's patrons and the people that
live along its entire line. The re-
lations that exist between the Com
pany's resident management and
its patrons and the public generally
are most friendly and cordial
management and the public realize
that there is a mutual and recipro-
cal interest existing between them,
and when allowed to be interfered
with by either party, it results in
loss of business and damage to the
interest of both.

n Jury of Women.

According to the New York Times Denver is, ap-
propriately, the first city in the Union to have
lawsuit tried before petit jury composed entirely
of women, as Denver is the metropolis of Colorado
a State which permits women to vote. The first
jury of women sat through the conflicting testimony
of noteworthy suit and rendered memorable YER
dict 1t should establish precedent in such cases,
but, alas! with jury composed of ignorant
the point will be always confused.
Every woman knows that when her own dress does
not fit it is the dressmaker's fault. Every woman
also knows that when another woman's dress does
not fit the fault is her figure. The twelve women
in the Denver suit decided with their inborn row1-
edge of such things that the dressmaker defendant
was not to blame. The dress was all right It's fit
perfect Clearly the plaintiffs figure was at
fault How could with that figure expect
any dress to look we'll on her? This was a point
on which the twelve could agree amicaby. The
verdict would have been the same too, if any one
of the jurywomen had been plaintiff and the plaintiff
the jury
To mere this way of getting at verdict by
intuition will not seem fair. But what jury of men
knows whether not woman'S dress is good
fit? What lawyer knows? What laws avail in this
matter? The Colorado woman jury, as we have
said, has established precedent which ought to be
studied and observed
