Six Negroes RiddIed with
Bullets in Florida.
Secured from Jail by Means
OF a Bogus Telegram.
Swaynsboro, Ga, Negro Murders
Wife, Shoots officer and Is Hung.

Lake City, Fla, May 21.-Six Negroes
were lynched here early this morning,
after party of more than a dozen
men. masquerading as officers, had APP
peared at the county Jail and obtained
possession of the men by presenting
bogus telegram to the 16-year-old son
of the sheriff ordering the release of
the blacks to the alleged posse. The
Negroes were being held here for safe
keeping on the charge of numbering b.
B. Smith, a saw mill man of Wades-
borough, Leon county, and woanding
another man named Register. May II.
The men. who had come from ITALIA
hassee to Lake City in automobiles.
took the Negroes about a mile outside
of Lake City. They compelled the Ne
groes to stand abreast and about 10
men fired with rifles and pistols until
everyone of the six had been riddled
with bullets. The firing lasted about
half an hour and a few struggling cit
liens at daybreak found the Negroes
shot beyond recognition. just after the
automobiles left the scene of the lynch
ing.
The plans of the lynchers were most
daring. though but for a curious combi-
nation of circumstances they never would
have been successful. The sheriff of Co
lumbia county was out of the city and
left the jail in charge of the boy who,
aroused in the early hours of the morn
ing. allowed the six Negroes TO be taken
from the jail without knowing the sim
lister purpose of the mob. The telegram
which the leader of the mob showed the
boy was supposedly from the sheriff OF
Leon county and stated that the sheriff
had received intimations that a mob was
being formed in Tallahassee to take the
Negroes from the Lake City Jail The
message ordered that the men be carried
further south to Illustrate the suspected
mob. The telegram appeared authentic
because the six Negroes had been moved
frequently
Residents Of Lake City knew nothing
Of the lynching until d volley of dis
tant shots was heard. A few citizens
went in the direction of the firing and
found the bodies. but the iynchers had
disappeared.
The crime for which the Negroes
were held caused strong feeling in
Leon county. because the men shot
were prominent, and a general race
war was limited at the preliminary
given the prisoners. It was proven that
the Negroes had established veri-
table arsenal and We're prepared for
trouble. The Negroes We're first TAX
en- to Tallahassee. then sent to Live
Oak for safe keeping and then brought
10 Lake City six days ago.

A few days ago the fireman on the
l.. & n. train while crossing the tres
lie between Drakesboro and Elk Val
ley. saw a bird dog in front of the
train on the trestle. 1t was too far
for the dog to get to the end of the
trestle before the train overlook it and
there was no way of getting off with
out leaping to the ground. Most hu-
mans would have CHANGED the ground,
but on a trestle there is considerable
space between the engine and the ties,
so crouching down in the middle of the
track the dog waited for the train.
The train passed over him and the dog
got up and continued on his way to
the end of the trestle.-Queensbo

Annual Report.

Secretary Wilson of the Agricultural
Department at Washington, d. e.,
has sent out proof sheets of the annual
report of his department.. Perhaps
the most important discussion in the
report is the one on the causes OF
high price of living. The secretary
shows that the farmer receives on an
average less than 80 per cent for his
product of what is paid by the con-
sumner. While the report shows the
past year to have been one of short
crops. it also shows that the farmer
will receive more for his crop than
the past year on account of the high
prices.
There is a lengthy and able discus
sion on the result of cold storage.
The conclusion arrived at are that
cold storage adds unnecessary expense
to the cost Of living.
The Bureau of Animal Industry,
the Bureau of Plant Industry and the
Bureau of Chemistry all report great
amount of experimental work with the
result they will eventually be of great
value to the people. Entomology has
done one OF the greatest works of eX-
istence.
The division of publication shows
the immense work the department is
doing and is disseminating a great
amount of knowledge to the farmers
of the nation. There is a splendid
article on public roads. Altogether
the book is one that should be in the
hands of every up to date farmer.

vantage in their favor the exporters
we're not satisfied, but with a set of
fake scales cheated the government
out of millions of dollars worth of
duties. They we're finally discovered
but their punishment was a farce.
Simply a matter of fines. So fragrant
was evidence against them that they
willingly offered millions of dollars
to the government to stop the prosecu
ton. 1t is only one more evidence
of the way the farmer is exploited by
big business. Still farmers will
divide themselves into red hot politi-
cal fanatics at each election and
boiler their heads off for somebody
who has no interest in them save to
extract every dollar they can from
their earnings. The farmer will rally
around some noisy lawyer or we'll
dressed mountebank and allow them
selves to be robbed and will turn
down their honest neighbor who
cannot make speech or wear with
good grace cutaway coat. The tax
Garner will be exploited for the benefit
of the tax eater just as long as he will
stand for it. But what can you ex-
poet? Our legislature and congress
itself is made up of ten lawyers and
political upstairs to one farmer or
producer.

The House committee which is in
vestigating the sugar trust has been
getting some evidence recently which
should open the eyes of the American
people. The farmers of Colorado who
appeared before the committee SHOW
ed conclusively that the sugar beet
raisers got no benefit whatever OF
tariff; that the high price of sugar
benefited only the manufacturer.
They showed conclusiveIy that the
price paid was only sufficient to en-
able growers to make the barest liv-
ing. How long will the American
farmer stand for protective tariff that
benefits only his enemy? The sugar
duties have made millionaires out OF
the manufacturer and the exporter
but has been practically no benefit to
the grover. Even with all this adj

The college of agricultural of Illinois
through Cyril G.. Hopkins has sent to
agricultural papers notice OF what
they term to be fake known as the

Ohio. They claim these people are
sending out an outfit for testing soils
for which they charge $40 including
Mr.. Hopkins we'll known book on
soil fertility. They issue a warning
that neither the university or Mr..
Hopkins knows anything of this and
that the directions they give are en-
tirely valueless. ''In fact absurd.
senseless,' and further say that "a
man who pays $40 or attempts to use
it is throwing away good time and
money" Farmers should be on their
guard.

From the Enumclaw Herald we
learn that the cooperative creamery
there, which by the way is one of the
most successful in the state, is to
receive higher pprices for their pro-
duct in 1912 than they have ever re-
ceived. Inasmuch as this creamery
is at present receiving a price that
makes dairying profitable to their
patrons it is a pleasure indeed to
know they are going to get a still
better price. If some of the Thomases
who doubt the good of cooperation
could visit Enumclaw they would
have a chance to change their views.

in farm economics as irrigation. In
fact, it is more important from the fact
that it is necessary in every sections
