corfON AND COOLERS.

g The coming of the boll-weevil is
soaring some people to the point Of
death, but we have an abiding faith
in the ability of the South to extri-
cate itself from the troubles which
are to come with the boll-weevil. We
are all slaves to cotton when we
need not be. There are other crops
than cotton which may be grown
here just as profitable as cotton.
The leading farmers Of this sec
ton have already turned their at
tention to stock-raising, and with
the growth of the cities in the South
there will be more and more reason
why we should raise our own cattle,
and not depend on other sections.
If stock-raising lis profitable in more
northern climates, it should be pro-
fitable in the South with it's long
summers and mid winters.
At Hodges, the people are being
encouraged to plant potatoes. The
Piedmont and Northern Railway,
owned by a malefactor of great
wealth, is so unmindful of the in
terest Of the people as to show them
that they may grow potatoes in that
section and sell them at such prices
that it matters little whether they
ever see cotton growing again:
And then there is the peanut in
dustry. The following communica-
ton taken from the Manufacturers
Record, will be of interest to our
readers. It is written from Austin,
Texas, and is as follows: N
ga general movement has been
encouraged by the commercial
boards and some of the industrial in
terests of the State to bring about
great expansion in the growing of
peanuts in Texas. It was not until
this season that the full, possibilities
of the peanut industry were Impress
upon many of the farmers Of Texas.

ROY NAsH---LAND sPEcuLAToR
Some excitement was caused

:. Some excitement was caused
about town Monday when number
of marked copies of The Indepen-
dent was received in which was q
write-up of the recent lynching in
Abbeyille. The article was by Roy
Nash, who came here from Broadway
as land-buyer just after the oc-
currence. - FL
The article is readable, if not en-
tirely accurate as to facts. As is
said in the editorial reproduced from
The State in this issue, Mr.. Nash
makes the mistake of assuming that
there are two classes Of people in
this section. There is only one class,
though some are richer than others;
some have had more advantages than
others, and some look at things
from !. a different angle than do
others. The people Of this section
are all one people. He makes the
further mistake in assuming that it
is always the poorer classes as he
calls them, that take part in lynch
ings. Sometimes it is and sometimes
it is not. Generally speaking, lynch
ing parties are composed Of men
from both the rich and the poor.
The fatal error into which Mr..
Nash falls, and the reason his article,
and others like it, written about
these occurrences, will do no good, is
that he undertakes to make the
lynching Of Crawford wrong because
as he alleges, Crawford was a self
respecting and wealthy negro, and
guilty of no wrong. iu
. He thereby raises an issue which
should not enter into the discussion
Of the case. By asserting that Craw-
ford was hero, as he sees him, he
allows the other party to justify
lynching when he proves that Craw-
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1916-12-13

ford was not hero. AS q matter
of fact lynching never occurs either
against negroes or whites unless
they are guilty of some crime
or serious disorder. And this was
true in Crawforfs case. He was a
vicious negro. He was a ,tyrant
among his own people and he went
out of the way to be offensive to
those people who were not so veal
thy as he was. Of course there was
prejudice, we will not deny that;
but Crawford had not been lynched
before. And he would not have been
lynched when he was If he had not
been too eager to curse and abuse a
white man, and 't'assert his man
hood" No man who treats his
neighbors right and keeps the peace
is ever lynched. 81
But this no more excuses lynching,
than does the fact that q man lynch
ed was good citizen make it wrong.
Lynching is wrong because it IS
contrary to the law. When we get
away from the individual lynched
and get down to the gist Of the Of
tense, we will learn that we can
neither justify nor condemn lynch
ing on the standing Of the particu-
lar victim. And we viii make pro:
gress when we get away from the
by-paths and get in the middle Of
the road. We must consider the
broken law, and not the individual
involved in an alleged crime, or we
had as well quit. s..

Now that the cottonseed-oil mills
have interested themselves in the
crushing of the peanuts and con-
verting them into oil and cake, the
product is coming into great demand
and prices have reached ar unpre-
cedented figure. - ..
The new era in peanut growing
may be said to have had its begin
ming about three years ago, when
Elmo Coleman, manager of an oil
mill at Comanche, Tex, decided to
make experiments with peanuts, as
a possible producer of oil and cake.
The cotton-ol mill owners through
out the State became interested in
the experiment, and a few of the
oil mills installed the necessary
equipment for peanut crushing. AS
the prices of oil and cake continued
to mount upward the interest of ev-
cry cottonseed oil man was aroused
and in many localities systematic
campaigns were conducted among
the farmers with a view to having
them place under cultivation enough
acreage in peanuts to supply the To-
cal cottonseed-oil mill. The industry
this season increased to such an ex-
tent that it may now be considered
one Of the established and large
sources of revenue, both to the far
mer and the cottonseed-oil mill .peo-
pie and various allied interests. The
area devoted to the growing Of. pea
nuts in Texas this year was approx
mately 100000 acres. About so
cottonseed-oil mills have been hand
ling the, crop, and the demand for
tie goobers is SO great that some Of
the mills have bought many cars of
them as far distant as 4c0 miles
from the plants where they were to
be utilized. 1t is predicted that
nearly every oil mill in Texas will be
equipped with peanut-crushing ma
chinery with which to handle next
seasons crop. -
The present price which is being
paid for goobers ranges from $1.10
to S1.25 per bushel, and as the yield
per acre ranges from 40 to go BUSH
|els, the proftableness { Of the crop
may be seen at a glance. Besides
the peanuts themselves, the hay
which is produced now has a selling
value of s12 to s14 per ton, and
approximately three-fourths of ton
is obtained on each acre." ...&
All Of this goes to show that the
South is not dead and will not die
as result Of the coming Of the boil
weevil. But we cannot deny that
we have been sleeping" For years
we have been told that we had to
fight this pestilence in the land, but
how few have ever given it serious
thought, and how few have consid-
cred the morrow? Now that, it is

THE ALLIES AND FUNSTON.

It is true that the allies at saiont-
ka are threatened with an attack
from the North by the Teutons while
the Greeks are threatening on the
South, but we cannot see that they
have anything on General Fred
Funston. The Mexicans are Ecker

fists are bombarding him from the
North. -. -. -. -. -

abroad in the land it behooves the
people to take thought how they may
be saved from its coming. And they
may only save themselves by taking
thought beforehand as to what they
will do when they can no longer
grow cotton. But intelligent thought
will save us. Only let us begin to
think, and cease sleeping.

SOUTH BENDER WRITES
POLICY ON CHAPLIN

Charley Chaplin, the celebrated
movie star is now in the possession
of a $4,000 ife insurance policy,
which was signed by a South Bend
man.
Julius Jonas. insurance man with
offices in the Farmers Trust build
ing, learned several days ago that a
film corporation employing Chaplin
was about to place $250,000 worth
of insurance on his life. Jonas
quickly boarded a train for New
York, and within an hour after his
arrival in the metropolis, he had ar
ranged TO get a $4,000 share of the
quarter Of a million policy The
South Bend man made some OF the
arrangements with his company, the

$50 for messages before he had the
big deal closed.
Entirely different from the view
OF the average individual in regard
10 Chaplin, Mr. Jonas found the
comedian a constant reader of good
literature. and "A thorough student in
many ways. Chaplin is an English
man, is q years old. and has been
in this country four years. And Mr..
Jonas is also inclined TO believe that
the comedian actually receives for
his services a yearly salary Of 500
