THE LYNCHING OF TWO NE
GROES.

In broad daylight Tuesday fore.
noon IA crowd of fifteen or TWEEN
ty masked men took from dep.
uty sheriff near the little town
of Blanchard in this parish two
negroes who had been arrested
on suspicion of being guilty OF
assassinatimg a white man. The
negroes had confessed, according
to the officer from whom they
were taken, and they were
promptly taken into the woods
and shot to death. The lynch
ing Of these negroes is but rep
etition Of other occurrences of a
similar character in this and 9th
err parishes of Louisiana--the de-
tails are usually the same.
But when one steps to analyze
the things that have gone before
the incidents which led up to
the lynching of the two muir.
derers lone finds a rather un.
usual state Of facts. We speak
only by the official records:
Years ago there lived in the
hyfnthard vicinity two brothers
white men of good repute and
good standing in the community.
One of them lived with negro
woman and by that woman had a
child. A disagreement between
these brothers over the treatment
Of this bastard child resulted in
tragedy five years ago and one
of these brothers was killed by
the other. The slayer was sent
to the penitentiary for ten years.
After serving about two years of
his time in prison, this man was
able to perform a service to the
State by preventing a wholesale
escape of fellow convicts. killing
two Of them, for which he was
given a pardon by a grateful COM
m0nwealth. He returned to his
home and again took up his for
mer business, and last Thursday
night he was shot to death in his
store by the two negroes, whose
purpose is confessed to have been
robbery.
A dreadful trail Of 'blood--six
liveS sacrificed and the proba-
bilities are that not, one drop Of
this blood would have been
spilled if that first unfortunate
tragedy had not occurred. That
first tragedy was enacted when
that negro woman gave birth to
that white mans child. Is it
not enough 20 convince the white
men of Louisiana that the time
has come for a rigid enforcement
Of the legislative act commonly
known as the "concubinage law. ;"

DON'T BE AFRAID TO PLANT
SMALL TREES.

When arranging for new plant
ings, most people naturally pre-
fer good, large trees-four and
one-half to six feet high, which
| anyone will admit are good trees
for planting, provided they are
thrifty, and not over one. or two
years old. Many will hesitate tC
plant smaller, expecting that,
with the growth already made,
they will gain a year in fruiting.
But according to my experience,
this idea is misleading, and there
is no advantage in planting the
larger size. Many successful
growers choose large trees, but
| believe this is more matter
Of choice than Of profit.
Do not get the idea now that
| intend to condemn the good
sized one-year-old tree, for | do
not. But | wish to vindicate the
value Of the small tree-the June
bud u to Is inches long for fall
planting.
In digging up and transplant
ing small tree, the root system
is but little interrupted, while
in a larger tree it is much mutt.
lated and diminished. Hence the
small tree grows off more read
lily and rapidly, and gets well
started, while the larger one is
repairing cut and broken roots. !
My observation has been that the
June bud will catch UP with the
larger tree in two or three years.
1t is true that a two-year-old
tree is full of fruiting buds, and
If set out in November. it may
possibly bear a few specimens |
the following season. But that |
amounts to but little, and will |
be a still further check to the
growth Of the tree.
Do. not plant the June bud |
ana expect it to grow and thrive !
among the weeds and grass. but
manure the ground, if poor soil,
and cultivate well. If you do
This | believe you will decide
hat the June bud is as good as

REWARDING THE WATCH
Full EMPLOYEE.

One Of the larger railway corp
arations of the United States, it
is understood, has adopted a pol
icy of rewards for those OF It's
employees who are watchiul
enough of its interests to disc ov-
er and report where savings may
be made or efficiency may be add
vanced in the operation Of any
of its departments. AS the mat
ter is reported to the press, the
idea Of the corporation would
seem to be the enlistment through
this method of the constant ana
best thought of its workers in its
behalf. 1t may be held, aud it
might be held justly, that the
corporation has n right to claim
this Of its workers by very rca-
son Of the fact that their names
are on its payroll. Yet it will
strike those acquainted even in a
slight degree with the eomplcNI-
ties of human character that the
better course is to recognize, with
the view of correcting 1T, the
tendency of employees to assume
that their obligations are fulfilled
when they have performed as well
as may be the particular tasks
assigned them.
1t has long been problem
among managers Of men to dis
cover and to apply some means
whereby the average worker
might be induced to feel real
interest in the affairs of the con
cern employing him. That this
has not been more generally ac-
complishd accounts for differences
that constitute one Of the heav-
lest taxes upon modern industry
Thinking people, employed as well
as, employing, have of late been
striving to devise remedies for a
condition universally recognized
as deplorable--a condition that
makes for the separation of and
worse still antagonism between
these classes. Hence we have il
these days much discussion OF
profit-sharing in various forms
and a growing sentiment favor
able to the creation of something
more tangible and substantial
than a sentimental alliance be
tween labor and capital.
The experiment of this railroad
corporation may lead to far
greater things than it's managers
anticipate. The individual re.
ward. in itself, is of little consc
quencc. What is important is the
realization by great corporation
that it should enlist the interest
Of its employees more closely and
NOR deeply in its affairs. If the
employees are made to feel thai
they are really part Of the con
Germ they serve-that the concern
they serve has a real interest in
them-they will, it is certain, re-
turn in loyalty all they receive in
appreciation. What is needed is
that the stone wall between mas
ter and man shall be broken
down, and there are innumerable
reasons why the master should
be first in the work of demolish-
ing it.-Christian Science Moni-
