men that had chosen other walks Oh

force of all their argument and makes
it fall at the feet of your class. Whl4e
the great success IN lie Oh your
speakers stood prominent peIore
them and made each OF them oe-
sire to choose other occupations than
farming. We admit that each ana
everyone of your speakers mad farln-
ing interests and had succeeded at ~
hut their success was due to tnelT
auying up land at bargain ana
farming it on the tenant system, VINO
farned it in the old way, which taxes
one half to feed the tenant and your
speaker gets the other half.
Now. do not misunderstood me ana
think for a moment, that / am op-
nosed to farming, nor opposed to your
Sneakers, or your great agricultural
college: be it far from me. Inc
greatest occupation of today is farm

II puts a burden on you, PROFESSOR
| thar is hard to overcome. Another
thing that holds the farm back
(which is the result of ignorance), Is
that there are no inventors on the
farm and the farm is the last place
to have improved machinery and
even now the best machinery we can
get was invented by man who hao
no farming experience, and neces-
sarilv has invented under great dis
advantage. ,uo
What the world needs today, more
particularly in the South, are llye

and such men, and offer to sell them
machines that one can can use and
do the work of six men, and do it
better, the first word they will say, is
that they have no labor that can use
such machines, although he admits
that his labor is scarce and high.
want to say, right here that the
greatest possibility of the farm has
not yet been seen, and the greatest
possibility of the machinery on the
farm has not yet been thought of.
Then | am made to repeat that the
worlds greatest needs today outside
Christianity is education on the farm.
Education that will learn the boys
some of the possibilities on the farm,
that will learn him that he can RIDE
and do more work in one day than
his father could WALK and do in
six. That he can grow more corn,
cotton and other farm products on
one acre than his father can grow on
SIX. That he will be more honored
and better recognized by the business
world, than farmers have ever been
heretofore; and he can make as good
and comfortable home and have as
many luxuries on the farm as we
have in our cities. He can even do
better than that; he can have his
fruits and vegetables FRESH from
his orchards and garden, while the
cities pay high prices for stale. One
of our speakers said that the farm
was dirty, but that soap would take
off
and girls that the dirt that they get
on the farm, that soap will remove
is far preferable to the filth that is so
prominent in our cities and so easi-
ly contaminates our boys and girls,
which dirties the inner man, and can
not be removed by soap. 1t has
! baffied the skill of our best physi-
clans, lawmakers, executors of the
law and the ministers. This is the
one kind of dirt that cannot be
cleansed except by the blood OF
Christ, and even that leaves an un.
healthy body.
At the present prices of farm prod
ucts, farming offers the greatest op
portunity to the educated young mar
than any occupation we know of; ant
the agricultural schools that educate:
he boys along agricultural and me
: chancial lines, are bound to soon be

every man that had a child want to
patronize your college. Your fourth

his elouuence and would cite out to

of your boys the desire to make just
such men as he had pictured to them.

lures of how the rural home might
become as attractive and comfort
able as our city home l could see in
the ewes of those young boys ana
girls a desire to own and occupy just
such homes.
But when | had heard all d these
noble addresses made by some OF our

over and the one thing that stood
out foremost and alb I'VE all else, and
the one thing that nj lkes it hardest

fact, that when you look for speak

you could not put up single farm

listening to those great speeches
made by some of our best business

making strenuous efforts to encour-
age and advise those young graduates
to make farming their life occupa-

pressed me most was the great disad-
vantage under which your speakers
labored. Your first speaker gave
splendid advice to your class and

DUCK JUROR In MUD TO
help HIM DECIDE IN LA.

Monroe, La, Feb. Because a
juryman failed to agree to verdict
of guilty in the case of Alvin Cal
noun, Negro, alleged confessed slay-
er of n. E. Arnold, a young white
farmer, mob publicly whipped the
recalcitrant juror and then dipped
him in a mud hole, say reports from
Tallulah, where the trial was held.
After his chastisement the mud-cov-
cred juror returned to the jury room
and agreed to verdict of murder in
the first degree. He was then or
dered to leave tofn by delegation
Of citizens.
The above incident not only shows
the South is a place where even a
white mans mind must not think
contrary to the majority much less
Negroes. The American Flag should
not wave from any part of the coun-
try south of the Mason e. Dixon Line
as it is neither the Home of the

FOILS LYNCHER'S PLANS

E Baltimore, Md, Feb. 8. = Police
believe they have effectually frustra-
ted a plan laid weeks ago by citi-
zens of Mount Winans to lynch the
Negro who assaulted Mrs. Sadie Sib-
ley, of Annapolis Avenue, on Sept.
%, if he were caught. Not until later
a Negro suspected of the crime was
arrested and safe in Jail did they
know that a well-laid plan to get
the assailant had been formed, =
though they suspected that friends
and neighbors would take the law in
their own hands if they could.
A committee of men, whose iden-
tity is not known, had agreed to
meet at a given signal, which would
be the tolling of the bell on the
adjoining the Sibley home. The bell
Mount Winans Methodist Church,
was to be rung as soon as n Negro
suspect was caught by the police and
taken to Mrs. Sibley for Identified
| ton.
Captain Kalbflesch, who led the
hunt. for the Negro, believes the
people Of the Mount Winans are sat
isfied now to let the law take its
course. They believe, he said, that
the prisoner will be convicted and
hanged.
George Terry, the Negro identi
fed by Mrs. Sibley as her assailant
was taken to police headquarters this
morning, to be recorded by the Ber.
tillon system. After being measured
photographed and having had his
fingerprints taken, he was sent tt
Jail. He has been refused bail.

for precinct supremacy and their
fight will be for the sake of right and
clean politics and not as paid servants

whether the individuals injured
are entitled to compensa n.
The City has persisi .ly con-
tended heretofore that it / lot liable
for personal injury done hobs, as
if there were something matter
with our laws, but IS able to
sustain it. In q juda ut the
law is sound and fair. The Supreme
Court of the United States and ev-
cry State in the Union where such
questions have been raised, has held
that il is good law. We cannot see
how it is possible for the City end
County to cringle when so many
people have lost their all, both in
person and in property; yet with this
law staring them in the face they
brazenly tell US that the City is not
/ liable.
With a few more judges on the
I bench, with the frmness and fair
ness and without equivocation, like
Judge Joseph B. David, in the City
of Chicago, County of Cook, State
eof Illinois. and the United States,
would be a sane place to live in for
every human-being regardless of
I creed or color,
The peculiar situation about this
opinion was that Judge David said he
came from the South land, where in
his State, he has seen colored people
lynched and -mobbed and that he has
often wondered why the law could
not and would not protect the life
and liberty of these people in all the
States, as he believed everyone
/ should be given every chance to live
without molestation in the confines
of our country.
Judge David is a member of the
/ Democratic party and holds his po-
sition on the bench as a Democrat
while the officials who claim that the
city is not liable are holding then
positions as republicans and are do

LIBERTY LIFE INSURANCE
CO., A HUGE SUCCESS.

The Liberty Life Insurance Com
pany has inaugurated the most unique
stock selling plan ever introduced to
our people. This plan is known a
mong the stockholders of the Com
pany as, zone gets One.
As soon as a person becomes a
stockholder he is requested to use all
of his influence to interest another
person to become stockholder. In
this way, we form chain which
brings all of those interested in the
Company into direct contact with one
another By so doing, we are able to
get people who are interested, and if
they themselves are interested, we are
certain that they will work even hard
er to interest someone else.
When the organization is COM
pleted by the adoption of this method
every stakeholder will have become
acquainted with one another, there
by, forming the strongest foundation
of workers ever associated with any
Life Insurance Company in America
Every Officer of the Company anC
also, every member of the Advisory
Board, have become Agents, and al
the result of their untiring efforts
the organization is being concluded
much sooner than was previously ex
