HarrOws on the Farm.

Use the Harrow more freely. Better
seed beds could be prepared at less
cost If this implement was more gen.
orally used. You can't afford to plant
poorly prepared land. Can there be
any doubt about the value Of the
Smoothing or Disc Harrow in prepar-
ing the seed bed? You can do more
effective work with good Drag or
Disc Harrow and for less money than
any other implement. Every farmer
should have one and use it freely.
Wear them out, but do not let them
rust out. We want to sell you a good
Harrow, and just here will say there
is a difference in Harrows. Be sure
To see ours before you buy. We believe
we have the best.
Unless you have a good Corn Plan
ter. we want you to come and exam
inc the John Deere Corn Planter,
which we think and parties who have
used them say, Is the best made.

Laurel, Delaware, April 2: About
10 o'clock Saturday night mob OF
armed negroes swooped down on a
crowd of spectators in the main thor
oughfare Of the town and fired VOL
ley of bullets and buckshot into the
crowd. Orem Stockley, Is years old,
son of a farmer living near Laurel,
fell to the ground, shot through the
head. He was taken to hospital In
Salisbury. Md, where he died today.
Geo. Hudson, so years Of age, white
man of Bethel, was shot in the leg,
necessitating amputation, and John
Thompson, a white barber, was shot
in both legs. Other white men re-
ceived minor injuries. 1t is known
that several negroes were injured, but
they cannot be located. Officers were
unable to cope with the mob and there
was q fierce struggle between the two
races until o'clock this morning
Windows were shattered and the eX-
terror of buildings was greatly dam
aged. Today when II was learned that
young Stockley had died, mob or
white men armed themselves and en-
tered the colored section and raided
the house which was said to be the
headquarters of the negro rioters.
Several negroes were arrested. Earl
Richards, a 15-year-old white boy,
stole his fathers revolver and cap
tured Geo. Wright. a negro, for whom
the authorities have been looking for
over a year. Richards compelled the
negro to hold up his hands until the
officers arrived. Wright is said to be
wanted in Virginia for the alleged
murder of a white boy. Officers are
endeavoring to apprehend the negro
who fired the fatal shot at young
Stockley. Open threats have been
made of lynching when he is caught.

Yorkville's Cow Show.-For thou
sands of years the cow has been
useful to man. Many of US have rea-
son to be grateful for services render
ed in the way of food supply at a very
early period of our career, and this
fact has possibly had something to do
with the interest poets have always
manifested in the lowing herds" as
they wind slowly DER the lea" For
all that the cow has thus been the OBJ
ject of century-long observation, there
remain many things to be learned
about the most profitable way of car
ing for the beast, and hence we COM
mend the activity Of our nearest
neighbors across the South Carolina
line in organizing an exclusive cow
show" Cows may be seen at every
agricultural fair, but there are so
many other objects of interest pre-
sented that attention is necessarily
scattered The farmers in the vicinity
of Yorkville-Pleased at the success
which has attended the recent estab-
lishment of a creamery at that place
have decided to hold show at which
the milk producer shall have right OF
way. We believe the show will be
worth the time and expense II will cost
and that 1t will prove the forerunner
of others of the same kind.-Charlotte
Observer.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT JUDGE DlSPOSES OF CROSS
 CUP INJUNCTION.
CAN PROSECUTE PACKERS
Indicted Men Given Ten Days in Which to Plead to Charges Made Against Them-Early
 Trial Desired.

Chicago, Jan. 10.-Judge Carpenter, sitting in the United States district court, decided that the government can proceed with criminal prosecution of the packers under the Sherman antitrust law
 He held that the present action was not barred by the injunction granted in 1903 by Judge Grosscup in the United States circuit court.
 In handing down his decision, Judge Carpenter held the government had the right to bring action under both section and sections 1 and ? of the Sherman antitrust law. The ac- cused, he asserted, could not escape prosecution on a criminal charge be- cause the government had secured 8 previous injunction under section 4.
 Sections for Different Purposes.
 Section 4 governs actions for in functions, and sections 1 and 2 pro- vide for actions against alleged crim- inal conspiracy,
 The packers maintained that the SONSAAii1Shb NOuAu AOI lCSdlly DlIuS action under all three sections, and that the previous injunction proceed ings brought by the government pro- hibited it from taking criminal action against them.
 Following the ruling of the court, At torney J. s. Miller, representing the packers, objected to what he under stood to be a statement by Judge Car penter, that the counsel for the pack CTS had admitted the proceedings placed the liberty of the indicted pack CTS in jeopardy.
 Orders Inference Stricken Out
 The court ordered any statements that might he construed to mean this stricken from the records.
 Attorneys for the defense then moved that the indictments be dis missed on all of the grounds alleged in the plea for the ruling against the governments right to bring criminal action. The motion was promptly overruled by the court
 The indicted packers are given ten days in which to plead to the charges against them. An effort will then be made to have the cases set for trial at an early date in order that they may be concluded before the summer vaca- tion of the court.

TWlGG PURCHASED POISON
Sought Quantity Last Summer, Ostensibly for Spraying.

Cumberland, Md, Jan. 10.-It is now believed that Charles Edward Twigg was in possession of the poison which ended his life and that of his tiancee in the parlor of the Elosser home, De- cember 31. An orchardist at Pawpaw, w. Va, says he sold Twigg cyanide of potassium last summer for spraying purposes. He said the poison was in grain form, like starch, and asserted that the minutest particle might be held on a pinhead and dropped in,o the mouth and produce death in three minutes.
 Twigg's brothers testify that their brother had no cyanide of potassium in his possession, but it is easily pos sible that he may have had it with out their knowledge. Two detectives, according to States Attorney Robb, Ire working on he case and will have important facts to disclose in a few days
