EXTRAORDINARY SUIT IN COURT.
Widoz0 of Man Who Has Lynche!
Sizes Railroad Company for Trans
porting the Mob.
Lynche-!

A very interesting case, the first of its
character ever heard of in the United
States, was to have been tried at the
ptrscnt term of federal court at Vicks-
burg, but it was postponed to the July
term. The case is that of Mrs. Annie
May Rodgers against the Vicksburg,
Shreveport and Pacific railroad in which
the plaintiff asks for $4,000 damages
because defendant company transported
a mob which hung the husband of the
plaintiff. The unavoidable absence of a
railroad station agent wa the cause for the
continuance. Mrs Rodgers and three lit
tie children were in attendance. Her
husband was lynched in Tallulah, La,
in 1906, for the alleged killing of a
merchant named Rodgers in Girrard, La.

part of the farmer himself, who felt
that his needs did not require them.
Second, because the demagogue would
invariably seek to reap a harvest through
the support and power of the organization.
They would accomplish this by pandering
to class feeling. They would undertake,
and with a large measure of success, to
make the farmer believe the merchants
and the bankers were all against them.
The poison disseminated in the midst of
the farmers in the past is the greatest
obstacle in the way now when it comes
to getting the cooperation of the farmers
in systematic and united effort to COM
bat the boil weevil
'But there is wonderful moving in
the thought of the farmer now, which
is going to result in bringing about a
closer relation between him and his mel
chant and banker. That unreasonable
prejudice is going to pass away; the
country is going to cease to be arrayed
against the town; and we will al! unite
in an intelligent and harmonious effort
to develop the wonderful resources of our
southland. The call comes from the coun-
try and the town. Come, let us reason
together and when we come together, we
are willing to let the farmer, the govern
ment expert the college professor, the mer-
chant, the banker, all have a say.
"The matter of self-preservation is
put up to the farmer as never before.
He is now willing to listen to the very
same advice that only provoked derision
from him a while ago. This is a very
hopeful indication. 1t indicates that the.
time has come when scientific principles
can be put into operation on the farms.
The properties of the soil and their rela-
ton of various plant life; the effect of
climate; the manner of cultivation; all
these things the farmer is now ready
and anxious to learn. This revolution
in the thought of the farmer is precipitated
by the boil weevil-that blessing is dis
guise'
"Now that this educational impetus
has been given the farmer, the south is
going to develop like magic. The south
is now passing throug the
travail, and is about to bring forth the
most wonderful era of prosperity ever
known. And the best thing about it is,
our native farmer is going to reap the
benefits Until the present shaking up the
farmer is receiving, it seemed that the
foreign and the alien were going to come
in and steal our birthright. But now it is
possible for us to hold fast that which
is our own by right of inheritance, the
wonderful riches of the south. The boil
weevil is the final stroke which looses
US from our bondage to King Cotton,
and now we are about to march into the
land of PROMISE land flowing with
milk and honey-which is the New South.

LETTER FROM ]. o. PARKINSON.
Florence, Miss. January 10, 1910.

Florence, Miss, January 10, 1910.
The old year has passed and gone,
never to return. The new year comes
in quietly with cold winter days. Many
of our deeds of the pass will be forgotten,
while some of our best and worst deeds
may be remembered as long as we live.
Therefore let us think of what we have
done in the past year, and see if our
good deeds will balance up with our
evil deeds; then let us resolve to live
better lives at the beginning of this new
year than we have the past year. Let
us be better men and women, better citi-
zens of our country, do more for the
upbuilding and prosperity of our country
and for our great Creator, who has let
US live, and blessed us with health,
strength and great opportunities So let
us try to improve the talent God has given
u.s.
Florence has two new preachers this
year, Rev. Mr.. Allen, at the Baptist
church, and Rev. Mr.. Purcell at the
Methodist church. When the preachers
move to Florence and went to their place
of residence they found some of the good
people had met there and had refresh
ments spread to show their love and APP
probation for our preachers. Rev. Mr..
Allen filled his regular appointment Sat
urday and Sunday. The Sunday school
and prayer services is holding up very
well considering the rough weather we
have had. The literary school is progress
ing nicely. 1t is sad that Florence High
school has never had better set of teach
ers than it has now. 1t is hoped that we
will be able to keep our same teachers.
Now word to the farmer. 1t is
thought that we have had enough freez-

ing weather to kill out a great many in
sects that come every spring and damage
the crops of corn and cotton, so we
think this will be good crop year. But
don't plant too much cotton. We are
glad to know that our farmers took more
interest in raising corn and hogs last year
and we hope this year will still be bet
ter.
We close with good wishes to The
