Railroads and the People.

Intelligent and reasonable people
are not hostile to railroads. they
cheerfully recognize the great value
they have been and are il opening up
territory, which otherwise would -
main unoccupied for generations,
and in providing outlets for products
of the soil. Railroads, like the hl:-
ance of US. feels the effect Of high
prices. They have to raise the sal
aries OF their employees and pay
more for everything they use How
can they meet these new expenses If
ehey are not allowed 70 charge a
little more for hauling passengers
and freight? Railroads sho':ld ''c
treated The same as corporations.

This kind of rascality is not con-
fined to Newberry County. We heard
the other day of an attempt to hold
up a gentleman In Colleton County,
He had crossed a branch. where a
man stepped out the bushes and hail
ed him. AS he Stacked up his speed,
another man came out of the bush
es on the opposite side Of the road
from the first with an axe in his
hand and started toward him.
The gentleman was horseback, and
when the second man came out OF
the bushes he put spurs to his horse
and rode off in a gallop. He was
sure that. the two men, who were
white, intended to hold him UP and
rob him. The gentleman thinks they
mistook him for another gentleman,

HELPING THE FARMER
THREE OF THE LEADING SOUTH
ERN RAILROADS WILL
organize a Cotton Culture Depart
ment 90 Educate Cotton Farmers
In Campaign Against the Weevil.

In a Campaign Against the Weevil.
Practical steps are being taken BY
the Southern Railway Company, the
Alabama Great Southern Railroad
Company, and the Mobile & Ohio
Railroad Company to cooperate
with the officials of the United States
Agricultural Department and the
State Commissioners OF Agriculture
in advising farmers, in the territory
along the lines of these railways
which may eventually be reached by
the Mexican cotton bool weevll, as
to the best methods of growing cot
ton in spite Of the presence OF that
insect.
The experience of the farmers In
Texas. where the weeril has been
for some years, demonstrates that W
the adoption of proper methods,
practically as large yields OF cotton
can be Obtained as before the ap-
pcarance Of the weevil. In most
localities i'll Texas the invasion Of
the weevil has generally been FOL
lowed by short crops for two or
three years until the farmers have
learned how to deal with the insect.
For the purpose Of making Co
operative work Of the companies as
effective and helpful AS possible. or
ganization has been perfected 10 be
known as the cotton culture depart
ment of the Southern Railway, the
Alabama Great Southern Railroad
and the Mobile and Ohio Railroad
with a view of encouraging the au-
option of the most improved me-
thods in advance of the appearance
Of the weevil.
This, it is felt, will have the effect
of maintaining the normal produc-
ton of cotton. Practical farmers
who have had experience in dealing
with the boil weevil will be employ
ed along the lines OF these railways
In localities which may eventually be
reached by the weevil and giving
them practical advice as to the best
methods Of growing cotton under
boil weevil conditions.
Planters and others in these 10
calities who are desirous OF avail
ing themselves of the practical d.
vice and assistance of the agents o.
the Cotton Culture Department IN
this matter are invited to cores
pond with Mr.. T. o. Plunkett, Gener-
ell Agent of the Southern Railroad
and the Mobile & Ohio Railroad, OF

MEAL RATHER THAN CASH.
This Is What the Carolina Union
Farmer Says.

The current issue Of The Carolina
Union Farmer contains an interest.
ing article on the Importance of the
farmers cooperating in the disposal
of their cotton seed. Our contem-
porary urges the storing Of the seed
until spring and the disposing of 1t
through an agent who will act for a
number Of farm ers. 1t ia convinced
that by this method better price
will be realized han could possibly
follow individual marketing. Having
made this point clear, The Union
Farmer proceeds to urge what 1t
considers an equally important step,
namely, the exchanging Of the seed
for cotton-seed meal rather than SELL
ing for cash.
There can be no economical buy
ing of commercial fertilizers in
ready-mixed form, It argues In sup
port of its views on this subject.
THE only way to get the best fer
ti,izer at least cost Is through the
process of home mixing. Acid phos-
phate. basic Stag or ground raw phos-
phate-rock can always be bought
without much difficulty, and potash
In the form of kainit or murate Of
potash Is also easy. to secure II or

is not obtained 30 easily because the
fertilizer-miyers use these ingredi"
ents in great quantities and generally
buy up the bulk of them. If far
mnrs in the cotton counties will lay
plans wisely and get cotton-seed
meal in exchange for seed. they Will
have this element Of fertilizer on
hand. It then follows that they will
have to buy only phosphate ard 20
ash TO form the complete mixture,
such as is usually sold in ready-mix-
ed form. at nigh prices.
The subject Of proper fertilization
OF crops at reasonable cost is one OF
the most difficult problems which
confront the progressive farmer to-
day and The Union Farmers advice
should be carefully considered by all
who have or will have cotton seed &;
their disposal. Aside from the fer
tilizer question the meal has proved
| its value as q feed, feature which
would seem to furnish an additional
safeguard 10 those following the plan
| outlined.

Santa Fe, N. M, May l4.-Late re.
ports from Taos, N. NJ, this evening
are to the effect that the brief but

Pueblo Indians, which caused so much
alarm yesterday, has subsidized a. sud
denly as 1t began, and no further trou.

liquor obtained by the Indians was
chiefly responsible for the outbreak, and
a general or serious uprising among
the villagers is no longer feared. The
wires were kept hot to Washington to.
day, a. a result Of which the Territor-
ial militia company ordered from this
city to Taos by the Governor was or.
dered back and a detachment of the
Fifth Cavalry ut Fort Wingate was or.
dered to proceed toTaos. Following re-
ports of the cessation of hostitilities
on the part 70 the redmen, the cavalry
order was eountermanded. Whether
the second order came before the SOL
diers left TT. wingate is not known
here. Efforts have been made all day
to reach the militia company, but It is
likely that the %guardsmen will reach
Taos before they receive the call.order.
They were to be met at Barranca sta.
tion on the Denver q Rio Grande by a
party with horses. They left here about
midnight.
The report of the damage done by the
indians on their brief raid were evil
IDENTIFY exaggerated. II was learned to.
day that the only wires cut were wire
fences and the only danger OF massacre
was to domestic animals driven of by
the Pueblos.
