GENERAL LANG
WAS FINED 100000
Judge Edwards Imposes Heavy Sem
tence ON the Negro Blind Tiger.
Fine Not Yet Paid.

General Laing, a negro who was
charged with the illegal sale of whis-
key, was given quite a shock when he
entered plea of guilty before Judge
Edwards, in the city court, Tuesday
afternoon.
The General realized that he was
in a peck of trouble if he waited
until November to answer to Judge
Worrill of the superior court for his
misdOings, and thought he would
soften things up little by entering a
plea of guilty before Judge Edwards
of the city court, expecting in return
light sentence. Judge Edwards
sentenced him to pay a fine of $500
or serve IL months on the changing,
and instructed the sheriff to allow
him until Saturday morning to get
up the fine before sending him to the
gang. He remained in Jail until Sat
urday without raising the necessary
amount, and upon request Judge Ed
wards extended the time through
today. At the time OF going to press
Laing was still in durance vile, and
the outlook for him to raise the fine
was not good. He will be sent to
the gang Wednesday morning unless
the fine is paid.

SIAN-AMERICAN
SCRAP ENLIVENS DULL SEASOH
An Encounter Between Dawson Mer-
chants Adds $50 to City Treasury.


A lively scrap between the Bee
Hive and the German store owners
and clerks in the rear of their stores
Friday morning furnished amuse-
ment to few onlOokers.
Three nations were represented in
the melee-German, Russian and
American-and the old-time weap-
ons of fist and skull were the imple-
ments employed. The difficulty grew
out of a long rivalry between the two
stores, and the climax was brought
about Friday morning over the sale
of a pair Of boys breeches that both
firms were anxious to land because
of the dullness of trade brought about
by the war across the pond in which
their former countrymen are using
AZ centimetres.
The parties to the late unpleasant
ness on American soil were two Ger
mans, two Russians and one Amerl-
can, and honors were about even
when the police ''butted in" and made
cases against the whole bunch. May
or Bell was called on to umpire the
war game, and he declared truce
assessing each belhgerent 81 as wal
revenue to help pay the salaries OF
the guardians of the peace.

TIMELY FARM TOPICS
DEMONSTRATORS KENT MAKES
IMPORTANT SUGGESTIONS.
There is Something in Flowing More
Than Keeping Ahead of Grass.
Conserving Moisture.

Nearly every year the farmers quit
blowing just as soon as they think
that the crop is sufficiently advanced
to keep ahead of the grass. 1t has
been very truthfully said that the
grass and weeds were put here to
make the lazy farmer plow his crops.
There are far too many farmers that
only pillow to kill grass and weeds,
and lose sight of that other important
object of blowing, namely, to con-
serve moisture. We nave learned
how to kill grass and weeds, now let's
learn how to conserve moisture while
killing grass; but we don't always
look at it in this way. Whenever
blowing to kill grass the pillow is run
fiat and the soil allowed to fall back
from where it came. Then we are
killing two birds with one stone.
Unless we get an abundance OF
rain during the maturing season our
corn crop is almost failure. This is
due to three things-lack of deep
fall blowing, the lack of vegetable
matter and the lack of late shallow
cultivation.
If we ever make this corn Sec
ton we will have to practice deep
fall blowing; turning under a crop Of
velvet beans, peas or peanut vines.
Clean cultivation of cotton has taken
all the necessary humus out of our
soils, shutting out the air and moist
ure. Our soils in their present con-
dition have no water-holding capac-
ity. The rain falls, but either runs
off or rapidly evapOrates. We can
prevent its running off during the
winter and spring by deep blowing
and the use of humus. We can keep
| 1t from evaporating by shallow rapid
cultivation after each rain during the
growing season. Enough rain has
fallen while this article is being writ
ten to make a corn crop if it could
be properly conserved by blowing
shallow and thus forming mulch to
keep it from evaporating. Every one
has noticed that it is usually moist
where a plank has lain on the ground
while the surrounding ground is dry.
This plank served as mulch to keep
the water that was in the soil and
that came UP from the subsoil from
going into the air.
Let's give our crops a little better
showing this year with later shallow
cultivation, and l am confident that
we can get an increased yield that
will pay for the trouble.

 Examination reveals the curious fact that the main currents of trade have for generation flowed across the boundaries that separate Alliance from Entente England has bough, more goods rom Germany than from any other nation and sold more goods to Geramny than to any other people on earth France has bought almost equal amounts from Germany and Great Britain; England has been Frances best purchaser Germany has bought most goods rom Russia and sold most to.

Austriaiinnsass's trade . been dominated by Germsny at both the buying and ,he selling end German trade with the Dual monarchy heinz more than four times hat ot any other country
 On the face of this brief summary is written the fact that tor the part t is the peoples who nave found each other most neees'ary economically in years o ,eacs who are now fighting each other to the death When the war is over we shall not only the economic weakness end Reorganization Of the great peoples of Europe; VIC shall see also the shrunken streams of trade with channels damned up and changed by the barriers raised by rreparable injuries cruelties without measure hates unQuenchabie.

 In a Continent where no country has Russia has
