nong to Speedwel1 avenue, near
Speedwell field. The right-of-way is
graded and ready for the ties and

CROSS KEYS

Cross Keys, July 13.-I am glad to
see favorable reports from TIE differ
ent sections Of the county, but it is
not so with us. On gray land cotton
shows up fairly well, but on red land
1t is extremely poor. Corn is the same
way. A few farmers are "laying by''
their crops with the plow now, others
are about through chopping out for
the first time. l use this expression
because the earlier planting had to
be chopped out twice.
Politics is beginning to be lively:
with one candidate for governor,
three for township commissioner: two
for magistrate, four for constable and
one for school trustee, with board

LET Us GO SLOW.

Madness seems to have got
ten a deep hold upon our people.
There needs to be the telling of
the plain, unvarnished truth up
on a number of vital questions.
We are face to face with unde-
niable calamity if there be no
pause. This is apparent to
thoughtful minds Throughout,
this State.
One of these far-reaching and
destructive agencies is the nulI,.
ficatiOn of our courts by the
Chief Executive of the State.
1t is inconceivable that there
have been nine hundred negro
convicts unjustly sent to the
penitentiary in the State during
the past few years. If so, our
court houses, juries and judges
are past remedy. 1t is hardly
to be conceived that there have
been three or four. hundred
white men sent to the State
penitentiary unjustly during
the past few years. If there
has been such a miscarriage of
justice our civilization is in it's
last throes. Yet there have been
eight or nine hundred negro
cOnvicts and three or four hun
dred white convicts turned ous
of the penitentiary by the Gov
ernor of this State during less
than four years of Governor
Blease's administration. 1t
would be better to abolish the
courts and tear down the court
houses than to have the courts
thus nullified by one man. There
is no possible escape from this
position except upon the suppo-
sitiOn that our courts, juries
and judges are veritable mon-
strocities. Let us go slow, else
we are doomed to land upon the
breakers.
There is another matter that
calls for sober and intelligent
thought. 1t is the constant,
merciless rawlings of the gener-
ality of politicians against the

The hail beaten cotton in this sec

morality and Christianity the world
would be saved. Well, we hardly know

shrewd politician talk or make polit-
ical speech. | will tell you what |
think about politics. 1t is not the best
man that is elected every time; it is
te politician that is upon his lob, he
knows how to get there 1t doesn't
matter much to us who is elected.
remember when Ben Tillman anu
many others were running for COVER
nor l heard their speeches and after
the speaking was over | came up
town and there was a man at the no.
tel at Union telling the people as they
came along to stop, he was going to
speak and some stayed along the side
walks and in the streets and Listened
to some witty remarks that I never
forgot; one thing he said was, at
doesn't matter who is elected, YOU
who plow, can plow on boys, Just the
same" That fellow seemed to be a
crank but he said a wise thing after
all, so we who till the soil can plow
on boys just the same. The man that
is benefited in the man that is elect
