GROSS OUTRAGE ON JUSTICE
Story of Abuse of Adermen's Courts
In Pittsburg That Is Hard to
Believe.

Writing about the aldermen's
courts Of Pittsburg in the Charities
and The Commons, H. V. Blaxter
says that the power to arrest is a
very important one which under any
circumstances should be exercised
only with sound discretion.
zone constable in Pittsburg ar
rested foreigner at night. Having
no warrant he took him to an alder
mans office, where he found the
alderman out, and pretentiously used
the telephone to locate him, with no
results, then substantially the fol-
lowing conversation took place:
Now you, I will be the
squire myself taking his place be-
hind the railing.
How much money have you?'
The prisoner was found to have a
few dollars on his person.

more apparent"

THE County Fair at Hibbing to
be held this month should be all
that is claimed for it. The people
OF Hibbing are hustlers and will put
up a good show. Duluth never was
very much enthused over the coun-
ty fair question and since they lost
the annual snow to Hibbing, can
not see any good in it. Duluth
don't enthuse very much over any
thing proposed by the ranges. The
only time the Zeuith Cityites get
anyway busy is when the range
trains pull into Duluth. One range
resident, from a financial stand
point, is worth more to Duluth
than a whole trainload of Dakota
farmers.

THE trouble with most young
men is that they do not understand
the dignity of manual labor. They
do not realize that honors and fort
une may be more readily gained
outside of the so-called learned pro-
LESSONS than in them; and that it is
just as honorable to swing a ham
mer or to hold a plow as it is to
make speech in court or to ampu-
tate limb. The lesson young men
should be taught as. early as pos
sible is that it is not so much what
a man does for living as how he
does it, and that manual labor is as
honorable as any other.

The Times-Recorder says Ameri-
Gus, in fact the greater part of Sum-

for its supply of corn and meal, just
as it does for all of it's meat, and
while the corn is ground into meal
in local mills it comes from the west
just the same. This fact was sug-
gested by an Americas grocer in a
discussion of the new disease, pella-
gra, which results from eating bread
made of poor meal Practically
every bushel of meal sold there, he
stated, is ground from western corn.
One Americas grocery house alone
handles from 500 to 700 bushels of
meal a month, and every pound of

ground from corn shipped from
Kansas, Missouri, or some other
western state. If this corn is of good
quality, sound and pure, there is no
danger whatever in eating the meal
that is made from it. At all events
there has been no case of pellagra
yet.
But one would think, quite natur-
ally, that in such a splendid farming
region as that of southwest Georgia
the corn supply grown would be
abundant. And it would be were not
cotton given the preference. 1t is a
fact, and a very lamentable one, that
a very large percentage of the farm
ers, probably three-fourths of them,
buy meal of the stores in prefer
ence to sending their sweet, home
raised corn to mill and having
it ground into meal. Of course all
of them raise corn, but this is fed
to stock instead, while meal for the
family table is bought in town, as
it is found more convenient. But
.at the same time it courts danger
from pellagra.

relative to the report that the state

sent to the battleship Mississippi an
elaborate silver service, whose cen

methods of farming. 1t is purposed
to carry to the farmer and demon
strate on his own farm the best
methods obtainable from the expert
ment stations and most successful
farmers of the country.
The Importance of the use of good
seed is stressed, and each demon
strator is given a few of the best
seed that are to be found, and then
taught how to select his own seed,
for the well selected seed from a
mans own farm are the best that
could be had for his particular land.
1t is hoped as a result of the work
to bring about a d!versificatiOn of
crops, the judiciOus use of CONNER
cial fertilizers and the raising of
stock to the extent that each farm
will not only be self-sustaining but
a source of profit to the owner.
When the farmers make a good liv-
ing and some money to spare then
will follow as naturally as day fol-
lows night good roads, good schools,
good churches, and all the modern
.cOnvenienCes so much needed in rural
life.
Mr.. Mathis has not yet consented
to take charge Of this work in Ter
rell county, but it is to be hoped
that arrangements will be made with
him or some other good farmer to
do so before the time comes for
preparations for the next crop to be-
gin.

cost the farmers anything, and one

men now and hereafter to be in
