negro with burglary.
While Chief Goodpastor was In Tai

Circuit Court Commissioners Charles
r. Laney Friday, on a writ of habeas
corpus in an endeayor on the part OF
Thervnot's attorney, M. E. Morey, to
prevent the defendant from being
taken back to Vinits. The case was
not finished Friday, but the commits
sioner adjourned the hearing until yes
terday, when Threvnot was ordered re-
leased from custody, because the war
rant for his arrest did not state what
court in Oklahoma it was issued from
Immediately after Threvnot was re-
leased by order of the court commits
sioner he was arrested on the warrant
issued by Governor Trammell and
locked up in the county Jail, pending
the pleasure of the Oklahoma officer &c
take him back to that state for trial.
The next step in the effort to prevent
the negro from being carried back tc
Vinita was taken yesterday afternoon
when his attorney applied for and was
granted a writ of habeas corpus by
Judge William B. Sheppard, Of th<
United States court, and this writ viii
be argued before him at 10 o'clocl
Tuesday morning.
Thervnot was first arrested in Pen.
sacola by OfIicer Aaron Kelly at the
Louisville & Nashville railroad pas
senger depots on the charge of being
drunk. When he arrived at the police
station he was ordered held by Chic
Of Police Frank Sanders, who had re.

at Vinita more than year ago thai
the negro was wanted there.
Thervnot is being assisted in hi.

ertine their influence to persuade the cultivators
all over British India to make use OF modern I'm.
plements. Many OF the native states. too are fol.
lowing the example Of the British administration
and are carrying on similar propaganda for the
enlightenment of the agriculturists This Is espe-
cially true Of Baroda and Mysore, two OF the
largest territories under native rule It Is quite
natural therefore that the demand for farm ma
chinery should be growing.
Since most Indian farmers are exceedingly poor
and cannot offhand afford expensive implements.
they have taken to clubbing together, sometimes
as many as ten Of them combining their resources
to buy a reaper: and in many instances they are
not satisfied with this machine alone but indulge
in improved machinery Of other descriptions. In
the central provinces agricultural associations
have been formed to interest the tenantry In the
use Of upto-date methods. This means 1ndia's
salvation; for the implements now In use on the
land are Of the crudest character imaginable. The
plow is nothing more than crooked stick with
blunt piece Of iron fastened to the point. The
handle stands up at right angles. and by this the
primitive share Is laboriousy guided as 1t IL
dragged through the hardbaked earth by the pa.
tient bullocks. The cultivating Is done with q
short.handed hoe, which can be used only when
the worker is squatting on his heels. and he wad
dies along at his task without rising. The corn
is cut by hand sickle and threshed out by the
old.fashioned method Of driving oxen over and
over It. The winnowng is done by pouring the
grain out of small baskets held high above the
head by man, either standing on the ground or
on a sort OF stepadder, the wind blowing away
the light chan while the corn falls in a heap be-
low. Fodder Is cut into shreds with small
handk knife. Water Is drawn from shallow wells
or rivers or ponds. sometimes by Persian
wheel" operated by one or two oxen, sometimes
nv hand sometimes by baskets let down and
quickly drawn up and emptied into . shallow.
narrow channel which conducts It to the field.
In view Of all this. the adoption OF modern imple
ments is q move in the right direction.
