held over the body of a seven-year
old white girl, Matilda Russo, hun
dreds of Jersey farmers were patroll-
ing the highways and securing the
woods in search of Louis Lively, al
legged to be the girls slayer. If he
is captured, there is no doubt that he
will be strung up and lynched by the
mad mobs now seeking him, although
his guilt is speculative.

While the manhunt was in progress
the funeral of the child was being held
in the Roman Catholic Church of Our
Lady of Good Counsel, by Father

Hendrick advised his 700 hearers to

stepson several times. All efforts to
locate him have so far been unsuccess-

MANS LIFE

SHREVEPORT, La, June 49,
With his scalp and back perforated
with buckshot. Ernest Johnson, %,
was placed in the parish Jail after an
unsuccessful attempt to kill him by
two farmers. The farmers claimed
that they discovered Johnson in the
act of stealing corn, and fired at him
with shotguns. Under ordinary cir
cumstances the leaden pellets would
have killed any man, physicians say,
but on account of the thickness of
lohnson's skin, they did not penetrate
further.

TEXARKANA, Ark, June ia
curious and interesting sidelight was
thrown on many crimes which are
committed in the South when the
body of man who had been shot
dead by a young white girl was turn
ed over to undertakers by the police.
Preparations for burial revealed the
startling fact that the body was that
of white man with his face blacked
with burned cork. He was later iden-
tilted as Claude A. Dunigan. we'll
known in this city. He had been slain
when l4-year-old white girl had dis
covered him peeping in her window at

Advancement of Colored People, is
now preparing an exhaustive report
of scenes during the Tulsa riot which
he witnessed. Arriving upon the
ground while the riot was in progress,
Mr.. White, who is so fair as to be in

pointed a deputy sheriff and put on
patrol duty. In an intimate interview
he said that fully 200 people, both
white and black, were killed during
the riot, as was at first estimated.

LITTLE ROCK. Ark, June l8.-
The Supreme Court OF Arkansas late
last week refused to grant an imme-
diatc writ of prohibition against or
ders OF the local chancery court hold
ing up execution of the six Elaine
Rioters who were to have been exc
cuted June 10. Instead, the court
granted the appeal of the prisoners
attorneys for a postponement until
Monday to give them an opportunity
to prepare a defense.
Many Pleas for Clemency.
The governors office continues to
be flooded with kilograms from all
parts OF the country asking for elem
ency for the doomed men. However,
up to the present time, he has posi-
lively refused TO grant the men stay
OF execution until the other six men
awaiting trial at Helena can be tried
again. They were also convicted and
given the death penalty, but their
cases were reversed by the Supreme
Court. The evidence is practically the
same i'll all the cases, and II Is con-
tended that a reversal in one could
should mean a reversal III all.
Lawyers for the doomed men are
now fighting for writs of habeas cor
pus, and in the event the chancery
court grants the writs. il s said that
the men will have I'd fied again
under conditions whic. will correct
alleged errors in their trial in the
Phillips County courts.

that their new lease on life would last
more than a few days. the six con-
demned men ate hearty breakfasts

The Governor-EIect.

Mr. Hardwick is committed to a pro-
gram OF economy, and if he will exercise
the veto vigorously when the legislature
makes appropriations in excess OF the
ability of the state to pay he be able
to get results. There is plenty OF interest in
the economy administration which Mr.
Hardwick has promised and it does not
need to be stated that the people generally
hope he will be able to get the results he
seems confident of.-Albany Herald.
The governor of Georgia is by no means
an autocrat He is hedged about by mta-
tons Of authority, and his work is so co-ordi-
mated with the legislative and judicial branch

at the same time his character and his ideals
have a vast influence upon the affairs OF the
state government. 1t is his peculiar province
to suggest and indicate, through occasional
messages the direction in which the states
progress ought to be emphasized. 1t is his
duty to initiate, to originate and to sponsor

To Apply the Right Remedy.
From the Lexington Echo.

We had something to say in this column
two weeks ago about the burden of taxation
-tor burden taxation has become and one
under which the people are beginning to
groan and at which people in all circumstances
are beginning to rebel.
Those in public life and public office are
taking notice OF the growing rebellion against
the burden, and are giving their attention to
relieving the public of as much OF it as they
can.
President Harding has touched upon the
matter in several of his utterances since his
election He expresses himself as being dis
posed to relieve the nation of lot of useless
expense by eliminating useless departments or
endeavors of the government such depart
ments or endeavors as are not proving profit
able.
On this subject and along the same line
Governor-elect Hardwck had this to say in
speech he delivered in Atlanta a few DAYS ago:
"In reference to my intention to cut off
the states payroll unnecessary office hold
ers, it should be understood that my efforts
i'll that direction will not be towards any
thing that will impair real and essential ser
vice beng rendered the state, but | shall
endeavor to get rid of the innumerable
boards and commissions now in existence
nne-tenths OF which are deadwood and do
little or nothing for the state"
From these declarations we are led to hope
that at least a beginning is to be made to
bring our taxes, both federal and state with
in the bounds OF reason; and that this begin
ming will lead to bringing about such reforms
in our government expenses that it will not be
necessary to make taxation burdensome in
order to meet them.
1t is our firm opinion that both the presi-
dent and governor are right in their opinions
as to where to begin to bring about a lessen
| ing OF the necessity for high taxation We
doubt not they can find plenty of elimination
that can be done without in the least impair
ing the functions of our government or in the
least jeopardizing the interests of the people

Chinese Peanuts Here.
From the Triton Gazette

A ship arrived at Savannah Friday from the
Orient with cargo of Philippine sugar and
1000 tons of Chinese peanuts, the latter con-
signed to a cotton oil plant there. They were
loaded at Koke, Japan, last June, the ship
having hard luck en- route. The arrival of
these peanuts does not mean, necessarily that
they will be followed by other cargoes. These
are said to be rarity in Savannah, and were
bought and shipped nine months ago. when
the price OF peanuts in this country was much
higher than it is now. Those acquainted with
conditions say that so long as peanuts in this
country do not sell for more than $3.50 a ton
the growers have nothing to fear from Orien-
price, under normal conditions. 1t is proba-
Bile that the manufacturers who bought this
cargo wish it was off their hands They could
doubtless duplicate it much cheaper at home
Meanwhile, the man who pays nickel for
about half a gill of the parched product Won
ders where the money that he pays goes to.
The consumer gets mighty little of it.

Peanut Culture.

Editor Dawson News: This is matter we
have given a great deal of thought. We have
also had quite a bit OF actual experience III
growing and gathering peanuts. We have
tried every variety.
We have had better success with the North
Carolina runners than any other kind, al
though we raise quite few white Spanish
The white Spanish will bring a little more
on the market than the runners, but the run
ners are better for hogs.
Land Preparation.-Be sure your land IS
we'll drained. Do not plant peanuts on wet,
soggy land. Break your land broadcast, and
if it has litter on it harrow over to get 1t
smooth. ust before planting time lay OFT your
rows about thirty inches with middle buster
or shovel. That will give you a good water
furrow. Then get up on the middle between
these burrows with Cole planter, drop your
peanuts about ten inches apart, and put them
in the ground about 2 or 3 inches deep If you
shell your peanuts put them 3 inches; if you
do not shell them inches will do.
Cultvaton.-Just as soon as your peanuts
start to coming up run light furrow on ev
cry row with Little Joe harrow; should you
have heavy rain soon after planting them
run the harrow over at once, or as soon as the
ground is dry. You may continue to cultivate
with the harrow until the peanut vine is five
or six inches across, then use a little scrape
around them Just as you would cotton. AS the
vine continues to grow cultivate with a scrape
and get further away from the vine until you
lay them by.
Spanish Peanuts.-Plant and cultivate same
as you would the runners, except you have
your rows 20 to "a inches apart and plant
them six inches in the drill. You should plant
your runners about the middle of April and
your Spanish nuts about the first of May.
Plant your Spanish nuts just as you want to,
either in the hull shell them if you like
They will come up almost as quick in the hull
You can get plate from the Cole people that
will plant them in the hull.
Gathering. is very simple when you
get fixed for it; you can get various plows
suitable for gathering, and you will have no
trouble on this line
Acreage.-We plant about twenty acres to
the pillow, and make 90 to 80 bushels of runners
to the acre, and 40 to 90 bushels of Spanish
per acre: Where you have been using a good
deal of fertilizer for cotton and corn you will
not need any fertilizer for your peanuts for
at least two years
If you want any further information regard
ing culture, gathering seed peanuts write
us and we will gladly give you the informa-
ton. Yours truly, H. NJ. SESSIONS.
