aside from the millions of white
people in the South. there are nine

Dewey Green. fourteen-year-old
colored boy of Tulsa county, is Okla
homa's champion cotton raiser His
exhibit was awarded first prize at the
Oklahoma state fair. eastern Oklaho-
ma fair at Muskogee and the Tulsa
county fair What this ambitious lit
tie colored boy accomplished has
brought him into favorable notice of
the state board of agriculture.
Dewey Green resides with his father
on farm near jerks. in the lowlands
of the Arkansas river which cannot
be excelled in Oklahoma for cotton.
He was enrolled in the Tulsa County
Boys Cotton club early last year.
When it was announced that Dewey
had decided to join the club the white
boys in the club were inclined to view
the advent of Negro boy with dis
dain. you won't get anywhere "a a
contest with the white boys" was the
fling one boy took at Deewy.
You all jes' wait till pickin' time
and I'll show you who can grow cot
ton" was the rejoinder of the lad.
On his one acre of cotton he made
more money than did his father on
forty acres of the same land adjoining.
Not only was the yield unusually
heavy, but in point of lint number of
bolls to the stalk and seed it out
graded anything shown in the three
fairs.
Dewey says he accomplished what
he did by following out the instruc-
tons of the department of agriculture
to the letter and by refusing to seek
the shade when the torrid sun OF July
and August took all OF the play" out
of experimental farming.
Dewey has enrolled in the Boys
Corn club OF Tulsa county and viii go
in for corn this year, as the disastrous
luck attending the marketing of cot
ton owing to the war viii have ten
dency to eliminate cotton from the
1915 crops in Tulsa county.
II anything. the Negro farmers of
Tulsa county take more interest in the
efforts of the government to promote
scientific farming than the whites.
They attend agricultural! meetings and
listen with rapt attention to all that is
said. Many Negro farmers are going
in for wheat, oats and alfalfa who
until two years ago had never raised
anything but cotton and corn. All
who tried wheat and oats In 1914
made money. Where they have plant
ed alfalfa they have for the first time
in their lives gone IN for hog raising.

judgment and the verdict of the

If ne could not conscientiously
support the Administrators policy
in respect to German submarine
warfare, the time to have discover
ed it was then. The time to have
resigned was then. To wait until
he had signed his name to the first
note, to wait until Germany's reply
had been received, to wait until the
Presidents inevitable answer had
been formulated, and then resign
this is to subject his Government
and his country to an embarrassment
for which there is neither excuse
nor extenuation, however noble MIR
Bryan's ideals may be and however
sensitive his conscience may be in
respect to these ideals.
Mr. Bryan's resignation, however
unfortunate. cannot change the, at
titude of the country toward the
President. Rather it will solidify
public sentiment still more strongly
behind Mr. Wilson, realizing as every
citizen must realize that the Presi-
dent in this crisis has greater need
than ever of the emphatic popular
support. Mr. Wilson has put his
hand to the plough and he cannot
turn back until he reaches the end
of the furrow. In spite of Mr. Bry-
ans scruples there is no public de-
sire that he should turn back. On
the contrary, it is the Presidents
grave and solemn duty to continue
to the end, having faith that right
makes might, and daring to do his
duty as he understands it.-Nev

What man is there whose blood
does not boil when he hears of the
crime of which this poor wretch
stood accused?" Judge Wilson asked,
adding that he had been informed
that the negro had confessed and
that everything was in readiness. to
give him fair and impartial trial,
that the law would have been vindi-
Gated and justice done. He said
that men should control themselves
in such circumstances, but this
morning men gave vent to their
passions and took the law into their
own hands, and with what result?
Your Sheriff lies hoyering between
life and death. The negro is dead.
Several deputies are badly wounded.
Talk about Mexico? Here at the
door of this court house lawlessness
reigns. 1t ought to shake the State
of South Carolina from centre to
circumference" emphatically de-
clared Judge Wilson.
TRIBUTE TO SHERIFF.
The Judge paid glowing tribute
to the brave Sheriff who risked his
life in the performance of his duty.
A man without a drop of towards
blood in his veins and man whom
| delight to honor; | wish every
Sheriff in South Carolina was like
him, and that we had thousands of
such citizens" stated Judge Wilson,
who praised the bravery, the devo.
ton to duty and the action of Sheriff
Hood, and called on the grand jury
to bring the ones guilty of this hor-
rible crime" to justice.
Solicitor J K Henry was equally
emphatic in his denunciation of the
occurrence, and took immediate steps
TO begin a vigorous prosecution OF
the guilty parties. 'Che matter was
taken in hand by the grand jury and
an immediate investigation was be-
gun.
Coroner Smith empanelled jury
and after viewing the remains of
the dead negro, adjourned the in
quest until later date. 1t is hard
ly probable that the Coroner's jury
will make much of an investigation.
because the grand jury, being IN
session, will handle the whole matter.
Late this afternoon Ernest lsen-
bower and Jesse Morrison were az
rested, charged with participating in
the shooting, and both were lodged
in Jail. 1t is understood that war
rants have been issued for others
and more arrests are expected to
follow.

THURSDAY. JUNE 1915.
Mr.. Bryan's. Resignation.

MIR Bryan's resignation at this
time and in these circumstances is a
sorry service to his country.
In his letter to the President the
Secretary of State declares that to
remain a member of the Cabinet
would be as unfair to you as it would
beto the cause which is nearest my
heart-namely, the prevention of
war;" We cannot believe that this
cause is nearer to William j Bryan's
heart than it is to Woodrow Wilson's
heart; but even if it were, Mr. Bryan
has done the one thing in his power
most likely to bring about war be-
tween the United States and Ger
many.
Americans understand Mr. Bryan's
passionate and often quixotic devo-
ton to his ideals; but this is not how
his resignation will impress the Ger
man Government. Germany does
not know him as America knows
him.
1t knows him only as Secretary of
State, an office corresponding to
that held by Herr Won Jagow in
Berlin and Sir Edward Grey in Lon
don.
Itknows him only as a Foreign Sec
retary who has been the leader of
his party for nearly twenty years,
and who has three times been its
candidate for President.
1t will see in his resignation a
divided Government, and its equiva-
lent, a divided people. which is the
one thing for which German diplo-
macy has been striving in the United
States since the beginning of the
war.
That is not what MIR Bryan's resig-
nation means to the American peo-
pie; but the serious thing to be con-
sidered at this time is what it means
to Berlin, on the issues raised by the
German policy of submarine warfare.
We are not questioning Mr. Bry-
ans sincerity in this matter. We
are not denying the honesty of his
convictions and the integrity Of his
purpose. For these we have only
the highest respect, and We have
only the highest regard for the
moral courage he displays in resign
ing the most responsible office in
the Cabinet rather than be party to
3 policy that is in conflict with his
conscience. What we are impeach-
ing IS Mr. Bryan's judgment. Not
strong at best, that judgment never
worked to more deplorable purpose
than when be broke with President
Wilson or an issue which, in its
present aspects, is still academic.
At the Cabinet meeting which dis
cussed the original draft of the Lusi-
tania note of May 13 every eventu-
ality was carefully considered. The
unsatisfactory nature of the German
reply was foreseen. The American
answer was foreseen. The possible
suspension of diplomatic relations
was foreseen. After the discussion
had ended, Mr. Bryan accepted the

son recalled the glorious history of
Fairfield county, a county known
for the manhood of it's men and the
purity of its women, a county where
law and order reigned, but which
this day has been outraged. Did
this happen on the borders of Ari-
zona? Did this happen in Mexico?
No, it happened in old historic

County Fairs.

The county agricultural fair is, at
least nominally, held for the upbuild-
ing of agriculture and to lead UP to
such ideals as will elevate, inspire,
educate, and broaden the thought
and activities of the rural people.
There is decided tendency among
the promoters of many county fairs
to make them what they should be
truly agricultural.
A good fair is one that entertains
and educates. 1t must do both. It
should be an agricultural exhibi-
tion essentially; also fundamentally
useful to the intelligent, practical
farmers and their families. 1t may
also be made entertaining in the
highest sense. People will attend
fair If there is anything interesting
and beneficial worth going to see.
The county fair offers the mass of
farmers in a district one OF the best
means of useful instruction, inspira-
ton, and entertainment.-Rock Hill
