RAILWAY IMPROVEMENTS.
Better Service VIII be Result Of Work on The
Southern Road.

Lynchburu, Va.-Ore Of the big
gest pieces Of railroad Improvement
ever attempted Is now nearing com,
pletion lere-the building by tho
Southern Railway company OF a sew
en'mlle double track line through
TINS mountaineering city to attain
which 1t was necessary to dig tuu-
mel thirteen hundred feet long, large
ly through solid rock, and construct
steel bridge eighteen hundred and
sixty feet in longth and towering one
hundred and fifty feet above the wa
ters OF the James river.
This work, which means an entire
change OF the main line OF the South.
ern from Winesap, north of this city,
to Durmid on the south, will involve
an expenditure Of two million dollars
and will include, besides the digging
Of the tunnel, the building OF the
bridge, and the heavy grading neces-
sary, the erection of a handsome new
passenger station and the building oil
viaduct to span the railway tracks
at Fifth street, one OF the most i'm
portant thoroughfares OF the city.
The completion of this notatfle
piece of work will result in better
service for every point on the South
ern system. At the present time
every freight and passenger train on
the main line of the Southern, north
and south bound, has to climb u
heavy grade going out of Lyncnburg
on account of the drop practically to
the rivers edge to cross the bridge
now in use. When the new line is
completed trains will pass through
Lynchburg without having to climb
a grade exceeding forty feet per milel
which will greatly facilitate the NOV
ing Of the freight on the main line
and hence benefit every point on the
lines of the Southern railway. 1t is
confidently expected that all of this
work wlll be completed in time for
the use of trains by October LIST.

BROWNSVILLE DECISION
Inquiry Board Finds That Negro
Soldiers Shot Up Town.
OFFICERS ARE CENSURED
Court Says That II Officers Of Colored Regi-
rent Had Performed Their Duty the ARRAY
Would Not Have Occurred.

Washington, D. C. The military
court of inquiry, during the last year,
has been Investigating the shooting
up of Brownsville, Texas, finds that
the evidence clearly sustains the
charges that the shooting was done
by soldiers of the twenty-tifth infant
ry, colored.
The court is also of opinion that if
the officers of the regiment had per-
formed their respective duties immedi-
ately prior to the shooting the af-
fray would not have occurred. Fur
thermOre, if the officers had perform
ed their duties Immediately after the
shooting, some of the guilty men
would have been discovered. Fourteen
men belonging to the tweDty-fifth in.
fantry are declared eli >ible for re-
enlistment.
According to the rct creating the
board of inquiry, the findings are final
and cannot be reviewed by any one.
The court consists of Lieutenant

LESSONS FROM THE COTTON CROP Of 1909

Is too much food and a surplus oil
moisture available for cotton in any
soil, common sense dictates that these
conditions should not be increased by
deep fal breakings. We, therefore, &C
wise the following plan under boil
weevil conditions on such lands:
Burn all the cotton tsalks, and af
ter the weevils have gone into win.
ter quarters burn all the rubbish In
and about the field as early in the
fall as possible. In the spring, bed on
the firm ground, giving more space be-
tween the rows. Prepare a good seed
bed before planting and maintain
ridge cultivation throuhg the season
The under weevil conditions there is
an excess of plant growth.
Fifth-The lands must be well
drained and no larger area planted
than can be intensively worked.
Sixth-All the supplies Of food and
forage must be raised at home, and
can be on the lands not planted to
cotton.
Seventh---t is practically safe to
make advances in boil weevil terrific
ry if the farmer follows government
instructions.
Eghth-There should be a rigid
system of inspection to see that the
government plan is followed.
The great drouth and the intense
heat in July and August last year
throughout Texas and Oklahoma, &C.
centuated the Importance Of deeper
tillage and more thorough prepare
ton of the soil.
l ask every agent of the farmers
cooperative demonstration work and
every farmer in the southern states
to his best to make banner crop of
all farm staples in 1910. - From the

FIGHTING SOUTHERN LAW.
Bonaparte Uses Murder Case to Test
Agricultural Contract Acts.

Washington, D. c. - Protesting
against what he terms an attempt in
some southern states to reduce the
negro to captivity, Charles J. Bona
partc, formerly attorney general OF
the United States, filed brief in the
supreme court of the United States
in behalf of Pink Franklin, South
Carolina colored man, who, on d
charge of murder, is sentenced to be
hanged.
Franklin, under an agricultural
contract" to work for J. d. Thomas,
in Orangeburg county, South Carolina,
in 1907, quit before the contract ex-
pired. A statute had been passed in
South Carolina making it misde-
meanor for laborer to break such
a contract if he had become indebted
to his employer. A warrant was
sworn out for Franklin's arrest. The
constable, H. E. Valentine, in attempt
ing to arrest the negro, went to the
latter's house, entered and was Killed.
Franklin was convicted OF murder
Mr.. Bonapartes brief attempts to
show that the negro had right to re-
sist arrest and protect himself, 1am'
lily and domicile, because the statute
on which the warrant was based had
been held to be obnoxious to the state
legislation, violated the federal con.
stitutiOn and that any attempt to en-
force the provision by the arrest OF
a person in the situation of Franklin
constituted a crime against the Unit
ed States under the laws forbidding

INDIANS ARE INCREASING.
Statistics Indicate More Births Thar
Deaths Among Indians.

Washington, D. C.-Tne Indian has
at least paused in his passing from
the face of the earth, if the stats
tics concerning births and deaths
among about one-third Of the Indian
population in the United States, which
have just been compiled by the bureau
of Indian affairs, can be accepted as
criterion Of the general condition
of the red race. During the fiscal
year 1909 there were 1896 births and
3,17S deaths among 101,717 Indians.
This showed a birth rate per thou
sand of 33.4, as compared with 312
deaths.
An Official said that the figures poin-
ted to an improvement in the general
situation, in that the red man had not
lost any ground from the standpoint
Of numbers, as compared with de.
crease in the past, which has reduc.
ed the Indian population to its pres
ent relatively small figure.
1t was estimated there were 300,545
Indians in the United States, eXclu.
sive of Alaska, during the last fiscal
year.
