8 NEGRO HOUSES
DYNAM|TED At
CUMMING
Forsyth County Race Trouble
Breaks Out AfreSh When
Blacks Return.

CUMMING, GA, Feb. ia fresh out
break of the race trouble that caused all
negroes to fee from Forsyth county last
fail took place at at early hour today,
when three houses, occupied by negroes,
were dynamited. All the houses were
badly damaged, one being almost COM
pletely wrecked, but none of the occupants
was seriously injured. The houses were
occupied by Ophelia Blake, Frank Smith
and Alex Graham. They are the property
OF white persons.
About o'clock this morning the three
separate explosions aroused practically
the entire town The concusson shook
many buildings. The three negroes and a
few others who had recently returned to
Cumming were terror stricken. .
DynamIters Escape.
The dynamiters made their escape be-
fore the townspeople had asoertained
what had taken place. Sheriff L1mmus
and posse. with bloodhounds. started in
pursuit, and trailed the dynamiters about
/ y miles, when the dogs lost the scent
IT Is supposed that at that point they rode
off into the mountains. This theory is
strengthened by the fact that a mule was
stolen during the night from the barn of
c. P. Hardin. near where the trail was
lost
Sheriff Lummus and his deputies are to-
day continuing the search The identity
of the dynamiters is unknown. As SUI
perior court is in session this week, ac-
ton by that tribunal is expected to pre-
vent further lawlessness.
Among First to Return.
The Smith and Graham negroes were
among the first to return to Cumming
after the exodus last fall, when bands Of
night riders warned all negroes to leave
Forsyth county, and when several negro
houses were set fire to as a warning to
those who hesitated about leaving The
Blake negress came here only last month.
! The Smith house was the one most dam
aged All the houses dynamited are In
the corporate limits.
The race trouble in Forsyth county had
its inception last September when two
white women were attacked by negroes
For those crimes one negro was lynched
and two others were legally executed un-
der military guard.

Last Wednesday, as we were

sound of music. Running to the
front Of the school house, we saw
an organ grinder with large black
bear which was dancing All Of
the children crowded around them,
one boy, intent upon mischief and
having fun, ran into the house and
filed a teacake full Of red pepper,
which he found in his overcoat
pocket When he came back, he
gave the cake to the bear. who ate
it greedily. y.
In few minutes the bear was
bowling with rage He made a
dive for the crowd and began chas-
ing the mischiefmaker, who ran
into an old barn near by. The
bear was close upon him, and the
crowd, for they were all running
to the barn. But just as the bear
got to the door and stuck his head
in, some one pushed the door to,
and the bear was caught. The or
gan grinder came up and took the
bear away, and the children came
out to talk about their narrow es-
cape.

A telegram was received by relatives
in Delta Tuesday evening announcing
the accidental death of c. H. Brabbin
in Arizona. No particulars were given.
Mr.. Brabbin was a resident of Cedar
edge until few months ago.
A four horse team belonging to Mr.
Benson and Shelby Neal caused some
little excitement Wednesday afternoon
by running away. No one was injured
and little damage done. One horse
received bad cut, which did not keep
1t from work.
The five room bungalow being erect
ed by Lewis Gipe is nearly completed
and is going to be one of the prettiest
homes in the valley. 1t is built entire
ly on the modern bungalow plan and
is very attractive as we'll as conven-
lent. Mr. James has charge of the
work.
Water was turned into the Cedar
edge water system last week and the
new pipe which had just been laid was
found defective and will have to be re-
placed. The pipe where properly made
does we'll, but defective workmanship
in the manufacturing is now the cause
of the trouble. Riveting was not prop
erly done and in some places the riv-
cts were out entirely. The company
will probably replace this defective
pipe in the near future. In the mean
time the system is in use through the
permission of the contractor. Several
taps have been made and the water
is now getting good, although for few
days the water tasted of the asphalt
coating of the pipe. The pressure is
very strong and it now looks as though
pressure valve would have to be in
stalled.

Trading Horse. for Tractors.

1t is matter of regret that some
method has not been devised by this
time for getting the cut grain off the
field Immediately so that the ground
can be improved at once for the forth
coming seeding. If we could do this
with our fall wheat we would need no
alternating summer fallow to retain
the moisture and would thus be able
to crop the land every year. Stacking
is one solution of the problem, but un-
fortunately the most of our people are
not stacking. The important problem
in wheat raising is to get the ground
plowed Immediately after the harvest.
With the old style stubble plow the
farmer follows along behind, turning
one furrow at time, and this is pretty
slow work in hot weather. At quitting
time he has polwed two or three acres
and is tired out and so are the horses.
If he operated a good tractor hauling
a gang of eight plows he could cover
twenty to twenty-five acres daily and
we heard OF case the other day in
which fellow was plowing sixty acres
a day, but he must have operated a
night shift, and then 1t would hump
them like fury to do it.
Two men can run a tractor and
plowing outfit. The cost of plowing
will average from so to rs cents an
acre. A 22-horsepower engine is really
equal to forty-four big. strong work
horses and can be bought for from
$4,000 to $1,000. and some of the pony
machines are cheaper than this. The
tractor plowing outfit can be run day
and night after rain when It is de-
sired to turn under as many acres as
possible while the soil is in proper
condition. The great point nowadays
in dry farming is to disc and plow i'm
mediately after the harvest so as TO
utilize the beautiful showers that are
now coming A tractor never gets
tired and does not eat when II is idle.
requiring feed only when In use. A
gasoline harvester that is not prohibi-
tive in price has been devised. II
works smoothly and evenly and cuts
about thirty acres of grain day.
These traction engines have worked
revolution in farm practices here on
our great western plains.
