 EIGHT MEN ARE DOOMED TO DIE ON SAME NIGHT

New York, N. Y, May 21.-The electric chair at Sing Sing is sched. uled to take the lives of eight men on the night of May 24.
 Maj. Lew E. Lawes, warden, has learned that the reprieves recently granted for the quartet of condemn ed men were for two weeks instead of one. This brings the date of their execution, unless new developments enter to save them, on the night set for the execution of four others.
 They are William Warmack, Leo Jankowski, Walter Levandowski and James Byrd.
 Two hours before the reprieves were granted Joseph Milano sent a telegram to Governor Smith, plead ing with him to save his compan- ions from the electric chair. Joseph Usefof, Charles Mclaughlin and James Cassidy hope for new trial.

MONUMENT THAT SWINGS

Gently swinging to and fro, huge granite monolith forming a unique natural monument has been discovered on Green Mountain. sev- 'eral miles north of Canon City, Colo. It is believed to be the only swinging monument in the world.
 The shaft is more than 100 feet high and in the course of many years has become free from all sur rounding earth formation except at the base, which is about twelve feet wide. In the center the granite column is about 50 feet in thickness and tapers off to a width at the summit practically the same as at the base.
 The entire shaft moves probably from two to three feet at the apex, and the swing is constant under the pressure of light winds. The base of the shaft rests in small hol- low about 3 feet in depth, and the contiguous granite formation has been entirely disconnected.

this time of the year to buy hay, corn, meat, meal and flour. If we grew these things ourselves we would not need the money and, in- stead of constantly being in debt, we would constantly be out of debt.
 Are we insane in following the present programme? Though the season is late we can recover part of opr sanity this year. We can grow sorghum; sugar is high and will be higher. We can plant corn and cow peas; we can plant sweet potatoes.
 We can develop our hogs and cat tie, and next year we may have enough food to carry us for six months and the next year we can have enough food to carry us for a whole year.
 Then we will be living surely and the money we get for our cotton we can keep.
 We leave the question of the san ity of the present policy to our readers-think it over.
 We love the south and we want it to be free. The south will never be free either in soul or body until 1t IS a self-sustaining unit of the nation.

ON EVERY FARM DOOR

as any people, and upon many topics they have more of what we term Common horse sense" that most people. But what the paper did conclusively prove was that the farmers who do not take care to raise feed stuff this year will find next winter that they were practic- ing false economy, and in doing so will have to pay dear for their neglect to plant and raise enough food crops for man, and beast.
 From the editorial we take the following forcible paragraphs, and as we cannot put any more force into them than Editor Mooney did
The courier-index., 1920-05-21

the News reproduces them with the hope they will have the desired eff feet of making our farmers take notice and be warned of the danger of neglecting their feed crops this years:
 There are 4,OOO,OOO bales of un- sold cotton in the south. This cot ton represents about one-third of the total crop. There is no present demand for the cotton. The owners would sell it if there were buyers. They have not held it for any ad- vance in price. They have not speculated in it.
 We are starting into another planting season. The acreage this year will be about as large as it was last, possibly a little larger, but in proportion to the supply of labor the acreage will be large.
 We have now about $600,000, 900 tied up in the old crop, and we are about to make new crop. Accord ing to our way of farming we will have to have $500, 0,000,000.
 This does not represent the total cost of the crop, but from now un- til picking time $500,000,000 will be consumed in the production of cotton.
 We need this 100000 for hay, grain, meat, meal and flour. We are depending upon the banks for the money. The bankers and factors must arrange credits or cash for about that amount of supplies. These supplies will come from Kan sas and Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin and other states. None worth speaking of will come from the south.
 |, So we are starting in expecting bankers and factors to furnish us with food for man and beast. Sup pose the factors and bankers are not able or refuse to do this.
 Everybody is grabbing for every dollar that is in sight just now. New York is paying enormous interest for money. Everybody wants mon ey. Money is tight.
 This does not effect the farmer in Kentucky, Middle Tennessee or Missouri. It effects only the one crop farmers, be they cotton grow CTS in the south or wheat grow CTS in the Dakotas.
 That money is scarce is only mildly interesting to the Kentucky farmer who is out of debt. He has corn in the crib, hay in the stack and meat in the smokehouse.
 Our corn is in Kansas and Mis- souri, Our meat is in Chicago and our hay is in the west. In order to get the corn, hay and meat down here there must be an exchange of money and plenty of cars. Money is tight; cars are scarce.
 During the last few days and for the next several weeks $250,- 900 has been or will be taken out of the Memphis banks daily in pay ment of drafts drawn by Chicago, St. Louis and Kansas City firms for nay and grain alone.
 During 60 days of this spring s20, 100000 will go out of Mem ohis and from close around Mem ohis for hay and grain.
 Tn this we are not including the |
The courier-index., 1920-05-21
lrafts paid for flour, meat and

drafts paid for flour, meat and mules.
 What is going on in the Mem. phls territory is going on throughout the entire south.
 The very grain that we buy and the hay that we buy can be produc- ed in the south without reducing the present cotton acreage.
 The south can grow more varieties of hay than Kansas. The south can grow alfalfa, soy beans and cow peas and the south can grow cer- tain grasses that Kansas cannot grow.
 The south can every year more nearly come to an average hay and gram crop than the western or northern states, and this average nay and grain crop can be produced on land that is not now titled or SC poorly titled that the result is small.
 Hay and grain this. year are amazingly high and human food is amazingly high.
 We went down Front Row this week and visited a number of seed houses. There is not near so much seed bought this year for grain and hay as was bought last year. The sale territory has increased, but the sale per county is lower. There are not as many gardens this year as there were last year. The sweet potato is a tremendous food crop. The sweet potato is also profitable.
 The sweet potato crop will not be as large this year as it was last year.
 This was the condition up to Fri day.
 Are we going to remedy this con- dition while there is yet time, or are we going blindly to stick to cot ton alone and to depend upon the banks and the factors to feed us i; Money is hard to get.
 Even if the present crop of cot ton Is sold and the coming crop is a success, the price of hay, grain and food will be so enormous that cotton must command an enormously high price for the farmers to break even.
 we are not suggestion a reduc- tion of acreage in cotton, but we are saying to our people that un- less they grow something to feed themselves, that unless they do feed themselves, the day will come when those who have been feeding them, even at price, will not have the food to sell Money is hard to get.
 There is an underproduction of grain and food in Kansas, Iowa, H. linois and other states. There is underproduction of food all over America, and if our people do not change, they will wake up some spring to find that there is no food to be had even when the mon- ey is on hand to buy it. How much more tragic will it be for us if there will be a scarcity of food and scarcity Of money at the same time?
 Every spring money is tight in these parts, and money is wanted

KICKING FLIVVER" BREAKS
 FOUR ARMS IN WOUR DAYS

Kankakee, H., May 15.-What is thought to be record for "kick- ing flivver" was established when a Ford automobile of Henry St. Peter broke the arm of its fourth victim since Monday. On that date he suffered a fractured arm when cranking the machine. Wednesday, Dorsey St. Peter, a son, suffered broken arm.
