BANDIT LIONIzEO BY
INHABITANTS OF ROME
SaOIOmOne Has a Dozen Murders
to His Credit, Yet ReIig-
iOusIy Inclined.

Hero worshippers in Italy have
singled out Salomone. the notorious
Sicilian bandit, as a recipient of YER
bal bouquets of admiration and won
der, says a Rome cable.
This extraordinary brigand, who
has now served nve years of his life
sentence for murder, has at least a
dozen assassinations to his discred-
it. Owing TO a remarkable obliquity
of vision. he is proud of his exploits,
and has hypnotized a good many
people in all parts of the country
into taking pride in his native abil-
ity.
For Salomone, although barely
literate, possesses an amazing vigor
of intellect and mental versatility.
People who we're present at this
bandits trial still talk of the speech
he made in his own defense, for it
was characterized by rare eloquence
and beauty of expression. Salomone
lSlubtu " bS NdllSu d huluSItI {,
styled himself a lynch law judge
and executioner, and developed an
elaborate argument based on ethical
and sociological grounds, in defense
of the system of private justice
known as the vendetta.
Salomone is passing his time in
prison in various intellectual pur-
suits. He has recently turned his
attention to the field of theology,
and is now closely examining the
question of the authenticity of the
Gospels. This strange murderer is
full of religious enthusiasm and de-
sires his liberty, not for more still
letto exercise, but in order to found
new religion.
AS a relief from critical examina-
tions of the New Testament, SALON.
one writes verses, which, though de-
fective in grammar and liInping in
metre, are wonderful, his best piece
being an photographed poem. But
even this does not exhaust his vigor
of intellect, for he has become
draughtsman and caricaturist of no
mean ability.
Salomone, as a type of the modern
criminal, is a standing wonder to
criminologists and mental special
lists. No doubt there will be consid-
cradle competition for his brain
when it is available in due course
for anatomical study.

essary as we'll as dangerous opera
ton. For the leaf must have the
proper color gained from the smoke
to. make it desirable for the exacting
buyer. Many tobacco grower who
has seen his years work brought
this near to it's completion, has had
his entire crop destroyed from a
spark at firing time"
This completed without danger,
the final scene is enacted. This pc
riod falls amid the years last days,
when, If the proper season" puts in
an appearance, the weed is loaded
into the wagons and the last labor is
done in the years work. This sea-
son is now on in McCracken county
and the other tobacco growing coun-
ties of Kentucky. The long lines of
wagons are filing the country thor
oughfares, bound cityward-home-'
ward, some with their burdens yet
to dispose of; others having sold
their crops are returning to their
small Kingdoms, with the financial
returns from their years work in
their possession. The disposal of the
old crop often is retarded until af-
ter the work on the new has begun.
Thus is there no end of labor in to-
bacco growing. 1t represents a
year of toll, yet about it there is an
atmosphere of satisfaction which is
best known to the man who enters
into it's development and receives
his reward in the end.-tPaducah

THE WEED" AND
ITS PREPARATION
For Market--Almost An
Endless Task.
AN EPIC ON TOBACCO GROWING
From the Pen of a Fellow
Who Evidently Knows
How 1t is Done.
PLANT BED TO WAREHOUSE

The gray line of wagons that
wend their way into Paducah with
the faint touch of dawn, burdened
with their brown wealth of tobacco,
to be delivered to the various ware
houses, is a picture representing the
final consummation of hope on the
part of the McCracken county far
mer.
The start was made back in the
gray wintry days of early January,
perhaps, or earlier, when, with a.
purpose in his heart, the farmer
went forth into the wooded country
and burned his tobacco bed"
This act represents the initial
move in the long and tedious labor
of raising a tobacco crop. Care
must be exercised by the tobacco
grower even in the early stage of the
work.
He needs must select the right
spot for this nurturing of the seed
germ, that the plant may be sturdy
and strong and that the seed of no
weed may remain to spring up la
ter On, 20 choke the life from the
tobacco plant.
Care must be taken, as we'll, to
protect the tender plants when they
are in the beginning of life, from
the frosts of early spring that may
swoop down in a single night and
destroy the measure of labor already
expended.
The tobacco beds lying amid the
woodlands of a southern hillside,
protected with their coverings of
cOtton cloth, present the appearance
of so many white tents against the
dark background. Thus the plants
are permitted to remain until the
time of their transplanting to the
soil that is to be their abiding place
until they have reached their full
stage of maturity. In the latter days
of May the farmer awaits the COM
ing Of a good "season"-the period
when the doYppour of the early
summer rain is suficient to insure
a moist earth suitable for trans
planting the tobacco plant from its
abode of winter to its summer
home.
Following this transplanting come
the weary months of toll beneath
the burning sun of summer. What
with blowing and nurturing the ten
der stalk through the several
months of it's growth until the early
autumn, when 1t stands forth stur-
dy stalk of rich green, the days of
the tobacco grower are filled with
unremitting toll. Having brought
his crop through it's critical period.
depending much upon the mercies
of nature to bring about the best re-
cults, he finds his field with the ar
ival of early fall, ready for the har-
vest. Care must again be taken to
see that no early arrival of frost
blights his summers labor, for a sin
gle night of this would make of his
field q withered hone.
The cutting and housing follows,
where the weed hangs in long tiers
awaiting the time for the prepare
ton for market.
Here, too, it is fired" very nee

an, as the germs Of anthrax, cholera,
swine plague and other contagious
diseases are often carried long dis
tances by water, and such a possible
source Of infection should be care
fully avoided. This spreading OF dis
ease by means of running water has
been very plainly marked in nearly
every outbreak Of cholera In the hog
raising sections of the north, and
though the disease is comparatively
rare in the south, still 1t occurs occa-
sionally, and It's spread should be pre-
vented by the use Of every available
means.
Shallow, stagnant ponds, in which
the hogs are allowed to wallow, are
equally undesirable and should never
be tolerated. 1t is true that such
ponds are in very common use and
that many fine hogs are raised with
no other water supply; but it Is also
true that such pools are always dis
ease-spreading centers and are often
responsible for serious losses which
are attributed to cholera. No animal
can be healthy Or produce meat OF the
best quality when compelled to drink
the putrid offal with which such ponds
are always poisoned. Where a pond
Is the only available source for the
water supply, 1t should be drawn OF
into an outside trough as 1t Is wanted
1t Is a small matter to provide for
this when a dam Is built by having a
one-inch galvanized iron pipe laid
through the bottom Of the dam. The
end Of the pipe in the pond should be
protected by a large strainer, and the
outlet provided with an automatic
float valve so that the trough will al
ways be kept full, no water will be
wasted, and q fresh supply will be
drawn in as fast as the trough Ia
emptied. The whole arrangement car
be made at an expense Of not exceed
ing FIVE dollars, the value Of a singlS

CLAIBORNE LEADS THE LIST.
First County to Enlist for Tomato Clubs
Next Year.

ANSAN AS0Ae
Jackson.-Claiborne county Is the
first one of the Mississippi counties to
enroll in the Tomato Club" list for the
girls for next year, outside of The two
original counties, Copiah and Lincoln.
The demonstration in those two coun-
ties of the work under the able leader
ship of Miss Susie V. Powell of the
school improvement work of the state
department of education has been so
successful that counties all over the
state are anxious to get in the list and
have the tomato clubs organized for
work among the girls next year. The
organization and work is carried on Un-
der Miss Powelis direction through the
local teachers, and they in turn are
backed and stimulated by the business
organizations and public spirited ind
yiduals, who arrange for prizes and con-
test to keep up interest among the girls.
The September number of the Educa-
tionNl Advance will contain the plan o!
organization in detail, and those coun-
ties which want to get organized for
the work next year would do well to
communicate with Miss Powell at Jack
son, at once.
In the work in Copiah and Lincoln
counties has been all that Miss Powell
desired, and it came as a pleasant sur
prise the interest the mothers Of the
girls took in the work. At every dem
onstration nearly every mother was on
hand, and numbers of the little mex
pensive yet cfTeetual canning apparatus
approved by the department of agri-
culture and used by Miss Powell were
disposed of at actual cost to the inter
ested ladies.
The display of the Girls Tomato Clubs
at the State Fair will also be an eye
opener to the people. One little miss,
fourteen years old, in Lincoln county,
planted less than a fourth Of al acre
in tomatoes, tended and picked them her
self. She never saw a canning outfit
until Miss Powell came and demonstrated
its use.
Since that time this young lady has
canned some twelve hundred cans of
tomatoes and figures that the remain,
ing crop on the vines will make three
hundred additional cans The United
States department. of agriculture has
provided her with attractive labels, 18th
ographed with a luscious red tomato OF
each. Also there is a place on the labe.
for her signature. The department fur
nishes the labels free to all who desire
them.
She will be able to sell her output al
ten cents a can, the price for standard
size cans such as hers are. The can
ming outfit cost about $3.50 and the cal
very little more. At that rate she viii
get returns in the n%eighborhood of sil
hundred dollars an acre.
