that so far as the civil law was con-

"As far as the Church is concern

however, that under the civil law
they have nothing to worry about.

scattered about.
The occupants of all the Offices on

that she heard some one arguing in

murder is thought to have been COM

A GOOD FIGHT
Farmers Using Successful Methods
In Cotton Growing.

Clemson College, Oct. 13.-The
farmers in Lee County have put up
the bravest fight this year for max
ing cotton under boil weevil condi-
tions that / have ever witnessed in
any county during the first two or
three years of 'weevil invasion, says
m. E. Winters, extension argonomist.
All the farmers of Lee County who
followed County Agent Quinerly's
advice in gathering the first weevils
and in daily picking up the punctur--
ed squares previous to August have
made a good cotton crop this year,
varying from one half to one bale
per acre. All of those who did not
fight the weevil in this way are
making very little cotton. Arrange
ments are now being made in Lee
and in Darlington County for a
systematic cutting up and piow'ng
.under of cotton stalks as early as
possible, the destruction of all dry
weeds and grass along the ditch
banks and terraces in the cotton
fields, and the destruction Of the
dry weeds and grass out as far as'
200 feet around the cotton fields,
where the boil weevil may 60 into
Information.
The increased use of green winter
cover crops.-rye and vetch, oats and
vetch, or crimson clover (the one to
X: will depend on the location)
:lone with the destruction of the boil
weevil's winter hotels, will be the
best means to use this fall and win
ter to reduce to a minimum the num-
Der of weevils that survive next
spring. If the farmers of Lee County |
show the same fighting spirit this
fall in destroying these winter hotels
of the boil weevil and in the use
of these winter cover crops that they
have shown the past season in pick
ing up squares, they will assure
of a good start for cot
ton production next year. .. T.

SHALL TRAINS RUN?

Il The confession of a striking en-
ployee of the Atlanta, Birmingham
e. Atlantic Railroad that he parti-
ttcipated in the shooting of w. T..
Reed, an engineer, goes far to clear
the d a:mosphere at Fitzgerald, Geor-
gia. O. C. Fairfield, who makes a
confession to the grand jury, names
other as sharers in the crime and
numerous arrests have been made,
not only in connection with the kill
ing of Reed, but for other crimes
committed to prevent the operation
! of the railroad during tho strike.
K Strikers now stand before the
bar of justice indicted. There is not
the usual shifting of all responsible
ity to "sympathizers." The issue to
be tried is whether or not railroad
workers on strike are justifable or
excusable in resorting to the taking
of human life and in the dynamiting
of trains in a quarrel with employ
ers about wages and hours.
If a strike be declared on rail-
road, has an American citizen ght
to buy a ticket and ride on pas
senger train when strike breaker
is the engineer? If Smith thinks
that he may do so and is blown to
Aingdom come, as the train crosses
a trestle, is he alone to blame, and
Eust his widow hold her peace about
it? Or shall she enter suit against
he railroad company whose employ
the man who placed the dynamite
has left?
1t is not for The State to say that
me persons accused of these crimes
in Fitzgerald are guilty, but it is
certain that someone is guilty of
them. Engineer Reed is dead. If
anyone can be defended for killing
him It will follow that the operation
of the Atlanta, Birmingham & At
lantic Railroad should be stopped at
any cost. The American people will
have to decide soon or late if the de-
struction of trains and the taking OF
their own lives occasionally is the
privilege of strikers.-The State.
