the celebration OF the fiftieth, an
niversary of their wedding Tues

their home here, where Judge Long
spent the day busily engaged in his
duties as judge of the city court.
over which, together with the coun-
ty court that preceded it, he has
presided for twenty-five years.
Judge and Mrs. Long were mar

Efforts is to be made here form nucleus for helpful library that

These books will be a very great
help to US. At present we have no
library at all and no funds with
which to buy books. If you do not
have book to give to this cause,
you may still help by giving any
amount Of money that you may de-
sire. The money may be given to
any member Of the faculty, and
you may notify the principal i
you have book and he will send
for it. ST
A book has been bought in
which the names Of all the people,
who contribute to the library, to-
gether with thetitle of the book or
the amount of money given, as
the case may be, will be placed.
This will show all Of those who
help in establishing the library.
we would be glad to see the name
of every person in Leesburg inthis
book, because it is a good cause
and will mean 50 much to the
school.
1--WE appreciate the interest and
cooperation alrC ady shown by the
people in the school. 1t means SO
much to the faculty to feel that the
people are interested in the cause
of education. The people of Lees
burg have responded literally to
all of our appeals and we feel sure
that within the next few days we
shall have several volumes and
then we will be able to come up
to the standard which has been set
by the State School Superintendent.

Lee County Farmers Are
Preparing for Boil WasVII
Pork and hay and corn substitutsd largely foF
cettOn.

Mr.. Roscoe Mathews, one of Lee
county's sterling farmers, is an ex-
ample of the progressiveness of the
farmers of the county in preparing
for the boil weevil before the pest
reaches the fields OF This county.
Mr.. Mathews has already minimized
the acreage of cotton on his planta-
ton, and he produces only about
nine bales of cotton to the pillow,
giving over the remaining work to
the raising Of hogs and the growing
Of corn and hay.
A few days ago Mr.. Matthews
packed bales of hay from asingle
stack on his farm. He has sc
stacks OF hay like this, all excellent
peavine hay, cured without rain
having fallen upon it. This hay
will give him something to sell next
spring when the demand for hay il
always better than in the fall. Al
present he is selling not only cotton
but hogs. The demand for hogs is
good, and the prices paid are such
as to afford him good profit on HE
porkers.
The corn part of his crop always
finds a ready use, either at home in
feeding hogs and stock or in being
converted into money by selling IT
in the local markets. The demand
for corn, hay, meat and all food
stuff next spring will be strong, says
Mr.. Mathews. He is ready for any
rise in prices, as he win have enough
to last his own farm, with a good
bit Of each to sell. This is farm
ing that defss the boil weeviI or any
other misfortune that may befall
farmers here.

due accounts at once.

An encouraging beginning has
been made in the work of securing
for the local schools a library that
will be Of much use for the stu
dents Of the school. Already q
number of the patrons and friends
Of the school have made voluntary
contributions Of books, so that 9
few volumes are now available for
the pupils.
Mr.. L. "A Harrell, who is always
live and wide awake in behalf OF
the local schools, is the originator
of the suggestion relative to the
formation of the library. Through
his influence and enthusiasm Mr..
Harrell has already secured num-
Der of volumes that win prove OF
much use to the students. In re-
spouse to request from the Jour-
nal for an expression of his pur-
poses and plans in the matter Mr..
Harrell gave out the following IN
terview to The Journal:
I'VE believe thereis no one, who
fully understands what is necessary
to constitute good school, who
will doubt that there is an urgent
need in our school for a good libra
ry. Believing this we shall not
argue the question, but merely
state the plan which has been adop-
ted for securing such library.
In most homes there are text
books, story books ETC., which will
never be used again by the family.
These will be good reference books
for a library and will correlate the
text books that are, in use. Then
some one may have a set Of ref
erence works or set of histories,
which is Of little service to them

Lee County Superior Court
To Convene Here Next Week
Trial Of negroes VIII Webster and Dock Mathis will be the features
Of the week-Docket otherwise about the
is usual for the court

Monday will mark the opening OF
the fall session of the Superior court
of Lee county. The cases OF special
interest here are those of Will Web
ster and Dock Mathis, the two
negroes who will be tried for their
attacks on white men. Will Web
ster, it will be recalled, is the negro
who caused Mr. Abner Green to lose
his eyesight in both eyes, the negro
having shot Mr.. Green with a load
of birdshot. Dock Mathis is held.
for the killing Of Mr.. Roy Josey,
which occurred very soon after the
other affair.
Much interest centers in the trial
of these cases here, as many rumors
Of a double lynching have sprung
up as the result of the difficulties
that arose in Lee county between
these two white residents and the
negroes with whom these troubles
occurred. Following the cards from
Mi. Abner Green and Mr.. G. A.
Wallace, relative Of Mr.. Josey,
which we're published in a recent
issue of The Journal, it is the cur
rent opinion here that the negroes
will be given a fair trial, as this
course was earnestly requested by
both of these gentlemen in their
sworn statements given out to the
press.
Both Judge Q. A. Littlejohn and
Sheriff D. r. Moreland have pied
ged themselves and ayowed their
earnest intention Of protecting the
prisoners and of seeing that they
have a fair and impartial trial, and
these officials have called upon ever
citizen Of Lee county to aid them "a
carrying outthis commendable pur-
pose. 1t is now believed that the
trials will proceed in orderly fash
ion, and that there will be no de
monstrations Of violence msde.
There is no doubt that if the law is
allowed to take its course there will
be speedy and complete punishment
meted out to the negroes by due le-
gal process.
The docket of the court is about
as usual, aside from these two cases
of special interest. It will be a busy
week here, not only for lawyers and
court officials but also for the peo-
pie of the county, many Of whom
are compelled to come to Leesburg
to attend court for various rea-
sons. 1t is thought that the SEES
sions Of the court will be concluded
before the endof next week. unless
more cases than are now considered |
may be brought up for trial.

Splendid Hay Crop on

Nor. Hay than ever Saved this Year.

Lowrey Bros. are among the
farmers of Lee county who are de-
parting from the all-cotton policy,
and for several days have been busy
harvesting magnificent crop of
pea-vine hay on their farm near
Leesburg.
They have already cut and
saved about Is tons, and when
they get through expect to have
not less than $50 tons. For this
hay they will realize from 800 to
s25 ton.
The farmers of Lee county have
saved more hay this year than
ever before, and it is of unusually
fine quality.
