TIE SIN OF LAND-MURpER.
Seriousness of the Situation Not GsG
orally Realized.

The deterioration of fertility under
cultivation that is lacking in care for
the future is far more noticeable in
some portions of the south than in the
middle west. The Progressive Farm.
er, recognizing the seriousness of the
situation, speaks as follows:
The truth u.s. that it is time now TO
see that a man who wears out piece
Of land sins-just as a man sins Who
wears out a human body with drunk
enness or dissipation. We are coming
TO the time when a man will be as
much ashamed of owning quilted
hillside as of owning a skin-and bones
there is hardly a greater American
living, declared in Washington:
North Carolina was, a century
ago, one of the great agricultural
states of the country and one of the
wealthiest. To-day as you ride through
the south you see everywhere land
quilted by torrential rains. red and
yellow clay banks exposed where once
were fertile fields, and agriculture re-
@uced because it's main support has
been washed away. Millions OF acres,
in places to the extent OF onc-tenth OF
the entire arabic area, have been so
injured that no industry and no care
can restore them
And the seriousness of this land
murder is not appreciated by one man
in a thousand. You see an acre of
land ruined and you say: Well there
is $40, 500, or 500 loss, according to
the price of land in your community.
porary estimate put opon land values,
as indicated by present prices, does
not indicate at al the farreaching
extent of the damage. Three hun
dred years ago you could have bought
that land from the Indians at ten
cents an acre, but if ar acre of it had
been ruined then, would the damage,
as we see it now, have amounted TO
only ten Genes? A hundred years ago
the same land may have been worth
only a dollar an acre; but we know
now that TO have ruined an acre
would have meant more than a dol
lars loss. And so the price of land
today is no criterion by which to
Judge the damage and the sin against
posterity wrought by the man who
murders an acre of Gods heritage to
the human race-a heritage he meant
to last as long as time itself The ma
ton does well to give the matter seri-

Trade. in its legitimate channels,
is dependent on peaceful condi-
tons and the reign OF law and
order. Any conditions that dis
turb the avenues of commerce, or
the flow of the currents that aid
to promote its success. are apt to
work irreparab!e harm by inaugu-
rating a check or conditions that
become a barrier TO the very rem
edy that is sought to be obtained.
Any organized unlawful power
that appeals to force to attain its
ends is not only violative of law,
but subversive OF all form of gov
ernme..t. which is the guardian of
the pursuits of peace.
The night riders of Kentucky
and Tennessee resorted TO armed
violence in their tobacco raids.
and added to it. murder. arson.
terrorism and reign of anarchy
that paral, zed business, drove
peaceful settlers from the States
and iriaugurated the reign of mob
ocracy. Brute force when invok-
ed. that cloaks its deeds under
masks and hides its atrocities
under the shadow and darkness of
night. acknowledges its guilt and
the cowardly methods by which
1t seeks to attain its ends.
1t is an example which grows
through tolerance. Its repression
lies i'm a strict enforcement Of the
law and an aroused public senti-
ment that will visit swift punish
meut on its perpetrators and make
them brigands and outlaws against
the peace, welfare and prosperity
of those communities where such
violence and vandalism are per-
petrated.
Sections of Louisiana have been
recently disturbed and alarmed
and in part terrorized by the post
ing of warnings on gins to stay
the ginning of cotton until a GER
trin price is reached. These
warnings have been mostly ignor-
ed. but in some instances needed.
Any lover of peace and order can
readily understand the results
that would flow from a reign of
disorder amid the daily pursuits
of life, when a devilish spirit is
invoked to attain its ends, that
resorts TO arson. murder, intimida-
ton, and outlawry to achieve its
aims. While no overt acts have
thus far been committed. yet there
IS no mistaking the open condem-
nation of the press of resort TO
any such methods TO regulate the
channels of trade, and behind this
denunciation stands arrayed an
intelligent, refined and enlighten-
ID citizenship that will not hesit-
ate IN throltling this spirit of
ina'chism that is unworthy any
civilized community, much less
hat law-abiding sentiment on
'hich rests the very foundation
Of the liberty and rights of a free
people.
