TO THE FARMERS OF WESTERN
NORTH CAROLINA

J. C. Miller, of Fairview Township,
has written a greeting in the form of
poem to our fellow farmers of
Western North Carolina, hope
every reader of The Federation News
wiz read this poem. Mr.. Miller was
one of tn first farmers to join our
cooperative movement and he has
always been believer in co-opera-
ton.
Farmer friends, we're in the hole,
And if we're going to keep off the
dole,
Farmers, I am telling you,
Here is what we've got to do,
And do it now.
We've got to keep some pigs and
sows,
And three or four real good old cows,
To give us milk, and make us meat,
So that we may always keep
Some food at home.
We've got to keep some good hens
here,
To lay US eggs throughout the year,

MECKLENBURG OFFICIALS
GET CHANCE TO DEFEND
SELVES THIS WEEK
Two COnvicts Who Lost Feet Through
Alleged Neglect Have Sc.
Already Testified

The defense in the case against
five Mecklenburg county chain gang
officials charged with torturing and
manning two negro convicts have the
opportunity of refuting testimony
presented against them this week.
DR.. c. S. Mclaughlin, county pri-
son physician, Capt. Henry C. Little,
chain gang boss, and Guards T. M.
Gordon, J. w. Eudy and r. c. Rape
are on trial in connection with the
alleged manning of Woodrow Wilson
Shropshire and Robert Barnes, who
lost their feet and charged that it
was the result of i'll treatment while
they were prisoners at the Little
camp.
Upon completion of the States
case, the defense is expected to place
an imposing array of witnesses for
each of the defendants.
Thus far, the case has failed to
provide the fireworks which had been
anticipated. Aside from the clashes
between the opposing attorneys,
there has been little to hold the at
tention of the large crowd of specta-
tors who have attended each session
of court since the case opened.
Judg Wilson Warlick is presiding
over the special term of court which
was ordered by Governor Ehringhaus
for the trial.
The State is contending that the
two negroes lost their feet as a re-
suit of being confined in the "little
dark house" of the prison camp dur
ing freezing weather, with their
hands being handcuffed to the door
and insufficient heat being kept in the
building.
A further contention is that they
failed to receive proper medical at
tention when they complained of the
LllCII lieu Willie h0pL
in solitary.
The defense is expected to deny all
responsibility for the loss of the feet
of the two negroes.
The various defendants are expect
ed to maintain that the negroes
brought their i'll fortune upon them
selves when they prodaced the gan
grenous condition by tying rags and
strings around their legs under the
shackles.
They are further expected to con-
tend that any punishment the negroes
suffered was imposed in accordance
with rules laid down by the State to
befollowed in the case of recalcitrant
prisoners. o..
The defense is expected to take up
a full week of the courts time and it
will be at least late this week and
probably early next week before
Judge Warlick turns the case over to
the jury.

Instead of keeping scrubby hens,
That lay an egg just now and then,
And hardly that.
If your milk and eggs you've got,
Some nice. fat hogs in the lot,
Then plant some corn, and sow some
wheat,
And hog and hominy you may eat
Throughout the year.
In this life?
Upon our farms we have our wood,
Our lights cost little. If we could
Get some money to pay our tax,
Then we might sometimes relax
From the strain.
Just few clothes, a little food,
A shelter that is fairly good;
And contentent with our lot;
What more, please, have the wealthy
| got
| Then remember our Good above,
Who las in His infinite love,
| Protected us through the years,
From all alarm of heather fears,
And gives us much or little.
Remember this, my farmer friends,
That what we have, God only lends
