Rose then rushed toward the Unit
ed Cigar Store for aid and fell dead
in the door. The shooting was general
by this time. Shots were heard in all
directions. Pedestrians began running
pell-mell for refuge from the rain
of bullets.
When Rose fell dead in the cigar
store door, Hoyt ran to the door
to see what was going on. His head
was cloven by a dumdum bullet,
fired by some one of the zealots. no
one knows whom.
Riot Alarm Sounded.
The pandemonium was now gen
eral. Rumors ran rife that another
race riot was in progress. In less
than twenty minutes 700 policemen
were crowded into the "black belt"
Outlying districts were left unpro-
ected. Whites and colored alike be-

Sporadic Outbursts Begin.
Although the residents of the black
belt maintained their composure and
co-operated with the police authori-
ties in suppressing the excitement,
white hoodlums throughout the city
began yelling for black blood.
A mob of 500 white sailors formed
at Adams street and Wabash avenue
to invade the South Side. One en-
thusiast offered to charter taxicabs
for the small army. This mob dis
persed when it was realized that
probably the "black belt" was able to
take care of itself.
Another mob of $50 sailors was or
ganized at 8th and State streets for
similar purposes. This mob was in
tercepted and appealed to by Eugene
F. Manns, of Eugene F. Manns G.
Co., Inc, (colored) who prevailed
upon the sailors to return to Great
Lakes peaceably.
A crowd of white hoodlums re-
,ruited from the notorious "athletic
,lubs' attacked two colored small
boys at 47th st. and the Elevated
Station.

horror, "He's burnirs the flag" -
When Policeman Owens rushed to
the scene and asked Ferno whether
he was an American citizen, Ferno
is said to have responded: mo, and
I'll burn your American flag just as
you burn people of my color"
When the policeman began strug-

been received at Savannah.
Auto Parties To Scene.
When news reached Savannah of
the arrest of Garthers, several hun
dred automobiles were chartered to
make the trip to Rincon, where the
accused man was incarcerated. Auto
mobilists are said TO have made the
trip from as far az Brunswick, Ga,

Arriving in the town. the automo-
biles surrounded the jail, and began
a demonstration such rs was never
before seen in Rincon. Men, women.
and children appeared in gala at
tire ,and the drowsy rural village
resounded with the laughtere Of holi-
day crowds. Lunches were spread IL
the town square, and a dance was
held in the Odd Fellows Hall until
about 4 p. M. when the merry max

jail. which, by some mistake of the
sheriff, had been left unlocked.

The accused man was produced,
and various methods of lynching were
discussed 1t was finally voted that
Garthers be burned at the stake. In

Breaks Chains In Struggle.
Garthers offered little or no re-
sistance as he was being led to the
tree which was to serve as a stake.
His clothes never saturated with oil.
While the torch was being applied,
Garther began struggling and pro-
testing his innocence. His clothes
were blazing as he finally broke the
chains that bound him and dashed
into the crowd of picnickers as a hu-
man torch. Women screamed for glee.
Someone fired a shot at the fleeing
fire brand. This shot proved the sig

To my surprise there was not
present any of the board of di-
rectors of our Farm Bureau, not
even the president. 1t was left
to the County Agent to present
the petition. But l found the OPP
position present headed by Mr..
Wells, the seed corn grower at
Pine City. presenting the old ar
gument brought up three years
| ago by one of the Pine City mer-
chants, Mr.. Madden and others,
that we don't want to have a
young bookfarmer tell us how to
farm and what to plant in this
and that field" He was ably as
sisted by one of the county COM
missioners. Mr.. Andersen. from
Rock Creek. and the outcome
was that the petition was laid
on the table. That does not
speak very we'll for the pubic
spirit of our board of county COM
missioners and neither for the
board of directors of our Farm
Bureau, but it seems to me it
is a good lesson to the progress
sive farmers of Pine county, that
we must see to it that we elect
men on the couny board favora-
BILE to the agricultural interest
and development of Pine county
agriculture, and that we carry
the expenses temporarily by an
Increased membership; and per-
haps the bankers of Pine coun-
ty like the bankers in Aalborg
county in Denmark will see that
it is to their interest to assist
the Farm Bureau.
Nothing will run itself unless
running down. No selfrespecting
man should accept public Of
| fee unless he makes up his mind
that he will attend to it and do
so regardless of private interests.
| | proposed at our annual meet
ing that the board receive a COM
pensation for time spent in the
service of the Farm Bureau.
This was adopted and we have
a right to expect the board will
attend to business. In speaking
that frankly | expect the board
will make up. 1t is indefensable
to leave a petition to he pre-
sented by our hired man to the
county commissioners; he should
| not even be called upon to solicit
signatures to a petition or solicit
memberships. | do not know
that this has been done. | do not
say that it has been done. but
lit should not be done. Only it
was limited by Mr.. Wells that
him presenting the petition was
for the purpose of raising his
wages. But we must all wake
Iup and take hold of the PROPOSE
ton and see to it that we en-
list a few hundred more new
members Immediately and we
must see to it when we elect
county commissioners next that
we get progressive farmers to
attend to the business Of Pine
County.

FINE COUNTY FARM BUREAU

Since the annual meeting OF
The Farm Bureau last fall ] have
not hem able to attend a direc-
tor meeting. having received
the notices only couple days
aheoa when my time and pres
ence had been promised other
places in behalf of the Minnesota
Potato Exchange, so ! was not
very well posted on Developments

formed lately by our County
Agent that a petition would be
faled with the county commits

for county aid to carry on the
work Of the Farm Bureau. /
went to Pine City for the pur-
pose Of putting in good word
for the Farm Bureau if occasion
should present itself, remember
ing that the county commission
ers practically put it up to me
about three years ago when the
question was presented to the
board. At that time | spoke a
few words in favor of the Bur-
eau and / was elected temporary
chairman for the purpose of or
ganizing the Pine County Farm
Bureau and it was voted by the
county commissioners that if
the farmers would organize and
enlist at least 200 members with
a membership fee of $500 year
for two years the county commits
sioners would appropriate $1,000,
thereby securing 81 500 federal
aid and some state aid Il do not
remember now that amount). /
had for a number of years been
in hope that Pine County would
consider the question of organ
izing a Farm Bureau and l ac-
cepted the challenge, which /
considered it to be from the
county commissioners, and sue
ceeded in organizing the Pine
County Farm Bureau with about
$50 members against a very ac-
tive opposition from the south
ern part of the county in news
paper articles and opposition Pc
titions. Perhaps l spent more
time and money on that than my
economic conditions at that time
warranted; I figured at the time
that it amounted to about $500
all in all. But there is no ques-
ton in my mind but that in the
more then two years existence of
the Farm Bureau / have bene-
fitted more than that from the
Farm Bureau. and a good many
have benefited more, or less all
according to the use we have
made of it. And l want it to
continue.

DEMING COOPERATIVE STORE
LOOKS LIKE A GO

The farm bureau committee that
has been feeling out the sentiment
relative Ia the starting Of a coop
crative store In Deming thinks
there u no doubt but that the prob
ect will be consummated IN the near
future.
Up 20 the present about $1,000 has
been pledged 10 initiate the business
and the sentiment Ia Dcming IN
favor Of the store appears 10 BE-
getting stronger. Al nrst the bust
less men were OF the opinion that
such a store would be detrimental
10 their business interests but after
the plan Is fully laid before them
they r inclined 10 believe that
such a store would be beneficial 10
the town. Even some Of the gro
cerymen think that some readjust-
menis are necessary In the grocery
business and they believe that the
cooperative store might be instru-
menial in bringing about the de-
sired changes.
The fact that nearly 200 people
have subscribed for cooperative
store stock on the condition thai
5000 can be raised is sufficient
proof that the project Is regarded
as meeting a necessity. No doubt
a hundred more will be added d
the stock subscription list and with
the assurance that these will all do
