It has been solved by the advent
politicians of the North, for po- ] road. While sitting there an
litical purposesonly. The Bishop । officer and some citizens who
were looking for him came along
Last Saturday Cal Bass, a
prominent farmer living near
Larissa, about eight miles north-
west of Jacksonville, rode up to
Nat Killough’s gin and shot and
killed Jeff Baxter and Nat Kill
ough, and a few hourslater killed
himself.
The particulars as we obtained
them are as follows:
Baxter had rented land from
Bass and was not gathering his
crop to the satisfaction of Bass.
Bass had also sold Baxter some
stock upon which he had not
given any security for the pay-
ment, and fearing that he would
not be able to collect the amount
due for the stock and also in
order to be more secure for rent
due him, Bass had a writ of
attachment issued. This caused
hard feelings and some words.
Later however they made a com-
promise and Baxter turned the
stock over to Bass. Saturday
and after getting expert opinions on the questions, have pi,
2 settled on the Grindstone brand as the BEST in the world. 823

the road. Bass hailed them and
says: “Here I am; come and
get me,” and placing a pistol to
his own temple ended his bloody
day’s work by taking his own life.
Our informant, who was well
acquainted with Bass, thinks that
he was unbalanced as he had
been in bad health for a long
time and would brood over im-
aginary" troubles that really had
nothing in them.

I will bid on your cotton. Try
sion that Baxter was trying to
beat him out of his rent in some
manner, and taking his shot gun
went to look for him. He found
him at Killough’s gin and when
he came to the door he raised his
gun and fired. Baxter ran a-
round the gin stand one way and
fell; Killough ran around the gin
in the other direction upon hear-
ing the shot and went to the door

fired the shot. Bass replied
that he had shot Baxter and Kil-
lough said, “My God! What did
you shoot him for?” Bass then
raised his gun and withoutaword
freight on the bulky raw material
all the way from the South, and
then on the finished product all
the way back. Not so with the
South; the raw material can be
grown all around the factory.
The whole thing in a nut shell is,
the people of the South have dis-
covered that the Northern manu-
facturer is “too far from taw,”
and he will soon have to quit bus-
iness, or be content with walking
at the tail end of the proces-
sion, unless he wisely concludes
to leave his frozen climes and
come to the sunny South, where
all of the good things can be
found together and where it will
be unnecessary to invoke the aid
of Congress to hold his job.
Come South and get a nice loca-
cation for your cotton mill right

Mr. James H. David and Mrs.

store for them.

by its climatic condi-
tions, and he has been urging
them to follow his advice; he has
spent the best years of his life in
trying to persuade them to leave
this country and go to a new
country where they would have
an opportunity to build a repub-
lic of their own and prove to the
world whether or not they were
capable of attaining to the plane
of citizenship that the white race
has attained and which some
of them claim the negro can at-
tain if given the opportunity.
The better we educate them
here and the more opportunities
we give them to do something
and be somebody, the more grief
it has brought us. Every time
we educate a negro we lose a
good servant and spoil a good
farm hand, for the majority of
them as soon as they get a smat-
tering of an education, get too
good to work at honest labor,
thereby becoming a parasite on
civilization and a substance suck-
ing leech upon the resources of
the laboring classes.
Their education begets impu-
dence and their idleness begets
crime and to show their grati-
tude to their white friends they
proceed to steal his earnings and
ruin and murder his wife and
daughter. It is hard these days
to pick up a newspaper that does
not give an account of a lynching
bee or a small race war in some
section of the country.
Even in the days of the carpet-
bagger this was unthought of.
Education has poisoned their
minds and e’re another decade
passes the race problem will be
solved in one of three ways—
they must learn to behave them-
selves and learn it quick or they
must hunt another clime and
start up business for themselves;
or they must prepare to meet
their God, for they will be abso-
lutely exterminated.
It is inevitable. The whole
country is tired of race wars and
criminal assaults upon their
helpless women. It must stop
or a war of extermination is
inevitable.

Everybody believes that if
the old Goldman gal had her just
dues she would occupy a chair
alongside the assassin. Her elo-
quence and personal assistance
might lead him to attempt an
assault on old Nick upon reach-
ing his destination.
And now comes the news that
President Roosevelt and Mr.
Platt have agreed to keep the
peace, which shows on its face
that the president does not con-
sider the service of a boss nec-
essary. The wily Platt may not
antagonize him openly but the
first thing the president knows
Boss Platt will get him in a po-
sition to accede to some of Platt’s
demands.
The prices that are being paid
for cotton seed makes a bale of
seed cotton bring a very fair
price, but it is hal-le-lu-jah on
the cows. Many a meek and
“lowly” cow will play “bawl”
and kick at the pitcher all win-
ter on account of not having any
cotton seed, and next spring they
will look like they had swallowed
a rail and shrunk to it—if they
live. __________________
The legislature has adjourned
at last, and for what it has ac-
complished it could have adjourn
ed at the end of the first week
and made a better record than it
has, on account of its many sins
of omission. We are afraid some
of the members will have to pull
the bell cord over an obstinate
mule at the expiration of their
terms. The people are sore, and
the people never fail to vote.
We will be glad to see our
fruit raisers begin 1o experi-
ment with hogs in connection
with their orchards. By fenc-
ing their orchards with hog
proof fences and running about
two cross fences—one each way
—through the orchards, sow
winter grasses at the time of
their fall plowing, and at the
spring plowing of their orchards
they can plant speckled peas,
goobers and a late variety of
stock peas. The winter grass
will keep up the hogs until fruit
comes in. The fruit will keep
them up until the speckled peas
get ripe. They will keep fat on
the speckled peas until goobers
come in and the goobers will
keep them growing until the fall
peas mature. By the time the
late peas are exhausted your
hogs will be ready to kill or sell
for market. A good sized sweet
potato patch would be no seri-
ous draw-back to the hogs since
we come to think of it. By the
time the hogs get ready for mar-
ket or slaughter, it will be time
to sow your winter g rass again.
This proposition may not apply
to all our fruit growers but a
great many of them could adopt
the plan to a decided advantage.
As evidenced by a leading ed-
itorial in Tuesday’s Houston Post
some of our Northern brethren
would like for Congress to pass
some kind of a law that would
throttle the Southern states in
their efforts to build cotton mills
convenient to raw material,
cheap fuel, and happy contented
labor. These are three of the
most essential ingredients to the
success of any kind of a manu-
facturing enterprise. The South-
ern states have them, and are
continually pulling old establish-
ed cotton mills from the North,
hence the roar. There is always
a broil of some kind going on in
the labor circles of the North.
Nothing of the kind in the South.
Fuel is getting to be an object
with the manufacturers of the
NoPth. Beaumont is in the South
and fuel is no object at all. The
Northern mill man has to pay
