THE MOB.

You can hear the Bourbon
aristocrat's disguised "an' the
mob was only tryin' to hang a
niggah' in reference to Jailer
Farrie having killed a man.
Frankfort State Journal
The State Journal is right in this
statement. Even in this adjoining
county, expressions of this sort are
to be heard regarding the incident
which occurred in Bourbon a few
lays ago, and they do not all come
from the aristocrats.
The killing Of a white man over =
''niggah'' is to be deplored, and most
Of the people of Bourbon regret that
IN official in the discharge of the
duty imposed upon him was compel
ed to resort to such a measure. Sift-
ed down to the fact it will be found
that not only was the iailer doing
his duty as an official but he was de-
Tending his own life after it became
apparent that it was in danger.
Citizens who openly violate the law
by attempting to take it in their own
hands. may expect to meet with re-
sistance from the conscientious Of
fetal. The negro in question, we will
not attempt to deny, committed
serious offense and had he received
his just dues, the most severe pun
ishment would have not been to great.
but the attempt at lynching which re-
suited in the death of n white man
was not worth the effort. Mobs
should be discouraged rather than
encouraged, and the law even in the
most extreme cases should be allowed
to take its course.

A WATERMELON AS A WEAPON

A Louisville woman sues for $4,000
damages says the Frankfort State
Journal, on the ground that water
melon struck her in the abdominal
region and permanently impaired her
capacity to earn a living.
We have not heretofore regarded
the watermelon rs a weapon. We
have looked upon it as a benign insti-
tuition created under the will of
Providence for the purpose of en-
HOuraging the individual into whose
abdominal region it finds its way.
But of course the watermelon should
he less rude in its approach. 1t
should be carved, or "busted on n
rock" in a manner familiar to small
boys, and eased into the mouth of
the beneficiary. The evil effect of
the watermelon in this case was en-
tirely 10 its direction and the man
ner of its approach.
A bull pup is a guard dog and
natural protector of man. But we
recall the case of a man who was
nearly killed when a man who was
engaged in fight with him picked up
a half-grown bull pup by the rear
runners, swung it in the air and
brought it down upon the head of his ]
antagonist. The pup, we regret to
say, was killed entirely, and the man
who usel it as a weapon was pun
shed, not for killing the dog, but for
njuring the man.

bends upon how it is used We re-

SOMETHING NEVER TRIED
IN KENTUCKY.

Kentucky bluegrass pastures are
considered the finest in the world,
and so they were. originally, and
many of them are today, especially
those thousands of acres that have
never seen the plow But much of
our fine pasture land has been crop
ped with hemp and tobacco and then
turned back to grass. Other fields
have been planted to corn, wheat,
meadow and back to grass again. If
we stop to think, all Of these crops,
with the exception of clover, have
fed on the fertility OF the land. Nat
urallv the soil is that much poorer.
We have all seen bluegrass pastures
that could he better. the exception
being the reverse: but how can they
he improved. b..
VIRGINIA is solving this very prob
lem and doing it satisfactorily by the
application of ground limestone and
acid phosphate or the cheaper form
of ground rock phosphate, which is
slower to act, but is more lasting.
We frequently see natural bluegrass
land foul with sheep sorrel and weeds
md with the grass standing up on
Stilts-like. showing the soil is sour.
Lime would correct this, although
limstone lies underneath. And then
bluegrass loves phosphates. This
combination of lime and phosphates
made the bluegrass region what is
cur soils are now deficient in both
lime and phosphates and they must
he put back to restore original con-
ditions. Virginia is doing this, even
on her steep hillside pastures. Who
in Kentucky has the courage to try
it Kentucky Farming.
