The bushes fthe meeting. was not reached until after the show. May or o'connOr presided at the meeting and Jack Henson was chosen secre- tary. Everybody present had some, thing to say, and said 1t,
 After discussing the coming season it was thought good business to have the successful manager of last sea sons team again in charge and Mir, Ferris was pursuaded to take the post E. E. Smith was elected treasurer The subject of grounds for next seasons play was left open after much discus sion. Mayor o'Conner thought that 1t would be greatly to the benefit of Douglas to have the grounds located in Douglas. It was stated that the TreadwelI grounds would not be ready for this summer. mt
 A vote of thanks was extended to the business men of the Island who so generously contributed toward the support of the club. After the busi- ness of the evening was finished the party repaired to the Lyric theatre where they became the guests of Mir, Armstrong while two reels were ex- posed besides some slides of the 1913 baseball team, showing some of the stars in action. Ed. Billodeau sang some songs and gave some selections on the piano that were enjoyed very much.
 After the theatre performance the party went back to the meeting place and enjoyed a Dutch lunch. The feel ing here is very optimistic and stren- uous efforts will be made to retain the championship.

CROPS ARE FINE
IN WAYNE COUNTY
Corn Looks Best Ever and Rain
Has Saved Cotton and
Tobacco

Mount Olive, July 12.-Judging
from appearances and from reports
furnished by the themselves.
this years corn crop now bids falr 10
be one Of the best in years; that IS,
in this section. Before the rains of
the past few days had fallen. corn was
beginning to fail very fast, and the
farmers were beginning to be very
much dOWncast and fearful hat the
crop would be a complete failure.
However, it seems that the rains came
"just in the nick Of time" as a result
Of which no crop in years has at this
season of ear looked more promising
Of a bountiful harvest than the pres
ent one does at this time.
Cotton and tobacco have also made
wonderful improvement since the
rains, tobacco especially having i'm
| proved in appearance so much SO that,
| what at one time was though would
than a half a crOp-nOW promises to
be a pretty fair average crop. The
harvesting Of the tobacco will, how
ever, be much later than usual, due
to the dry weather prevailing at the
usual time Of setting this crop, AS a
result of which a stand was finally
secured with much difficulty and fully
a nOnth later than usual.

NEGRESS LyNCHED
byPALMETTOM MOB
Woman Said To Have Owned
She Killed Child With Stick
of Wood

Ofangeburg, S. c., July 12.-Rosa
Carson, a negress, today was taken
from the Jail at Elleree near here and
lynched by a mob. She is said to
have confessed to killing the ~12-year-
old daughter of Mr.. and rMs. D. F.
Bell yesterday. The child was beaten
to death with a stick Of wood.
The negreSS was taken to the scene
Of the crime by the mob and hanged
to a tree. Afterwards the body was
riddled with bullets. The alleged con-
fesSiOn was made just previous to the
hanging.
Searching parties found the body
Of the murdered child early today
after an all-night hunt, partly hidden
beneath a log and covered with
wounds. The child disappeared late
Saturday while she was going to q
field to drive home a COW.
Suspicion was directed toward the
negresS on account of recent trouble
with the. child's family. With her sis
ter she was arrested today. AS soon
as the arrests became generally
known a mob was formed, marched
to the Jail, battered in the door and
took possession Of the two
The sister Of the accused woman was
later released when she is said to
lave admitted that her sister killed

About thirty negroes watched the
lynching but offered no resistance.

area comprised in these great hold
ings. Besides its timber now stand
ing. part ofthe land must be depend
ed on, together with the national Tor
ests, TO supply future crops or ti1nDei.
Furthermore, some of t has Va-uaDie
of ores, OIL, gas, water
power, etc.
The second is the possibility that
these holdings, which will form a
considerable proportion Of the future
area used for agriculture in this
try, may be retained under concen-
trated control. Formerly umbermen
often got rid Of their c~ut-over lano
at nominal prices or let it g for taxes.
But as the agricultural possibilities OF
such land have become apparent this
policy is being abandoned. A large
part of the present cut-over land is
now of considerable value for tllage.
That part of the present timber ianO
which when denuded will be arabic,
will have a higher and higher value
as land the longer the timber is kept
uncut; because if the timber is held
for many years the land when finally
denuded will be in greater demand
/ for agriculture. Such a ~cor@"ion
suggests the following potential eff
fectS upon the public: High prices
for land sold to settlers, crease OF
the tenantry system, or dlreCt farm
ing by large corporations.
The data obtained by the bureau,
so far as land is concerned, are not
| sufficient for a study Of the land prob
lem as a whole. They cover only one
class of owners the timbermen, and
only part Of the country. They show
conditions only at the time of the in
v~estiSation, and do not show whether
the concentration is increasing or de-
creasing. They are-nOt typical OF
present conditions in agricultural
communities, where the average size
of holdings is. Of course, much small
er. Though incomplete, these data
are nevertheless, suggestive and WOr-
thy of serious consideration.
Conditions Not Met.
Most OF the and grants were
made on conditions, and it appear
that in many cases not all Of the con
ditions were complied with. The gov.
eminent is now attacking some o.
these grants for alleged violation O.
the conditions imposed.
THE abuse Of the general LAND
laws in the past suggests that ar,
lands restored to the public domain
by these, or other. forfeiture suit
should not be disposed of under tn,
present land laws. To allow sucf
lands to be taken up by private p2rtie
before the revision Of the public Tan
laws has been completed would be t.

be made to have Governor Craig call

Winstead and Willie Holland, the two

It is understood hat the regular

charged.
Lieutenant-Govcrnor E. L. Daught-
ridge is very much interested in the
matter OF the calling of the special
term, and it is said that he will use
his influence with Governor Craig to
have the trial come off as soon as
possible.
