As readers will have observed,
lynchings for the past month have
been of almost daily occurrence
In Arknansas a man is hanged by
a mob because he shot an officer
who was cutting loose his raft, in
Tennessee a negro is lynched after
a refusal of a jury of good and
lawful men to declare him guilty.
So it has gone in Other States, even
Texas having joined in the work
of summary vengeance in the most
horrible instance at Corsicana.
The News has refrained from
comment on these and other cases
because in some communities pop-
ular fury has been at white heat,
a&d it was deemed better as a
means of saving such communities
from anything like general raids
upon innocent members of the
"offending race" to give plenty of
cooling time to men wrought up to
the limit of desperation by the re-
volting ^rime of the fiend in human
shape.
As readers of the News under-
stand very well, it stands opposed
to lynching, and to all forms of
mob violence or outlawry of what-
ever kind. It holds that in a land
of law and order even the devil
himself should have a fair .and im-
partial trial in the court house, and
that fifty, a hundred or even a
thousand men have no more right to
take the law into their own hands
than has one man, the least and
worst man of the community.
But it is not the purpose or de-
sign here and now to discuss the
injustice and danger of this sum-
mary method of wreaking ven-
geance or of administering justice.
This argument is to be along an-
other line, and is made in the in-
terst of all, including the men who
feel called Upon to take the law in-
to th^ir own bands now and then,
as well as those who, in the course
Of events, as matters now stand,
are apt td fall into the hands of a
meb. In other words, this is to bo
a friendly argument, designed to
do some good, it has been de.
ferred until this time for reasons
before stated, and for the farther
purpose of securing the fair con-
sideration and co-operation of Tep-
ans in their sober senses.
There is a cause which must be
remaned before the country will be
fre^d from these outbreaks of pop-
ular fury and from the shocking
crimes which never fail to Jead to
them, The fiends who commit
these unspeakable offences are ed-
ucated fo; such horrible deeds in
schoolB of crime open constantly in
almost /every town and city in the
State. They are the output ot pre-
paratory schools of vagrancy and
sport, and ate graduates of schools
of worthlessnees and crime. It is
just as natural that they should be
confirmed in their indolence and
wortblessness, fixed in designs al-
together deceittul and vicious, des-
perately bent on the commission of
the higher as well as the lower
crimes, as it is that water should
run downward. * *
In order to check the tendency
downward, seen by any intelligent
person who notes day after day
these open resorts to mob violence,
it is necassary to proceed, at once
to close these schools of vagrancy
and crime. The cause must be re-
moved, and it should be done
without delay. T he peace and or-
der of the country reuder such a
change imperative. *
The remedy has been presented
time and again in these columns
and pressed upon the attention of
citizens and lawmakers. This rem-
edy begins with a rigid and sweep-
ing vagrant law. It must be a law
that applies to a vagrant whether
he can vote or not. It must be an
effective rule by which the dens
and dives in which criminals and
fiends are housed and educated cau
be broken up and closed for all
time.
The News cannot say in detail
just what the law should be. It
might be in order to give by a gen-
eral statute full power to cities and
towns to deal with their vagrants
in their own way as a matter of po-
lice regulation. It may be wiser
to have it the other way. It is a
most difficult question which can
be handled in an effective manner
IN by only the wisest of our lawma-
kers. It is the vital question to-
day in the politics of every South-
ern State. It can not be settled by
a desperate raid now and tben on
"Lick Skillet," ^Treedmantown
or "Negrodom." All the vagrants
are not black. There must be
regular, effective and unsparing en-
forcement of a rtile under which
these tough gangs of loafers, the
desperate sporting element lying
in wait for victims of this or that
kind,. del ightfng in opportuntiies
to destroy the innocent and to drag
down the pure, may be brought to
the public road, to the peninten-
tiary or to the gallows. There must
be a determined and lawful effort
made all along the line to break up
the schools of crime found in the
cities and towns of this and other
States. This can be done by a law
of the right kind, and such a law
can be devised.
As before stated, any rule ad-
opted should apply alike to all vi-
cious doers of whatever class or
color; but it is not out of order to
proceed upon the fact that a large
proportion of the blacks of the
yotmger generation come to be
shiftless, improvident, worthless
and yicious, despite the advanta-
ges afforded by free schools and
open opportunities to earn livings,
after hanging for a few months
around the Latin quarters of the
town. It would be better for such
loafers if they were driven out to
the rock piles or disposed of in
some other humane manner and
compelled to earn the livings which
they now take as a free and liberal
hand-out from kitchens presided
over by women of their own race.
It would be better for such idlers,
gamblers and rakes if they were
forced to quit the low dens where
they prefer to stay. But there are
others. Whether it be better for
the vagrant or not, whether it in-
terferes with his personal liberty
or not, whether it*be democratic or
otherwise, the conditions by which
we ar6 surrounded render a change
imperative.
Things cannot go on as they are
now going. To leave them to run
on is to invite a reign of anarchy
which will reduce ihe courthouse
to ashes, destroy tht power of the
State and deluge the country in
blood. It is necessary to handle
conditions as they ai$ found, to re-
move deadly causes as soon as they
are discovered.
The legislature of Texas has de*
served and~won general commend
ation, and the News woAld be the
last to minimize the importance of
any of the good work that has been
done or to qualify in any way the
commendation which has been ac*
corded. While that is true, the
News dbes not«hesitate to assert
that if both houses could get to-
gether during the closing weeks of
the session on some bill dealing ef-
fectually with the troubles and
dangers potuted out above, there
would come of such a law more
benefit to' the State than one can
reasonably expect from all other
legislation that has been accom
plisbed, Not only so, such a law
would prove a boon to a dozen oth
er States in which conditions and
results are similar in all respects
to conditions and results as they
are found in Texas.—Galveston

Monday, Mother Superior Sis-
ter Augustine, of the ConVent of
the Sacred Heart, Halletsville, left
for New Orleans, having in her
charge Sister Mary Francis, who
had lost her mind and whom the
Mother Superior was conveying to
the above mentioned city for treat-
ment. When they had reached
point east of Lake Charles. La.,
from some cause Sister Mary Fran-
cis leaped from the train and the
Mother Superior in trying to eatch
her fell off.
The Galveston News contained
the following particnlars:
"As Sister Mary Francis had
exhibited few signs of violence, it
was not thought necessary to take
great precautions, and nothing
occurred until after the train pall
ed out of Lake Charles.
"When it was about two miles
east of the city, Sister Mary Fran-
cis arose from her seat and remark-
ing that she was going for a drink
of water, started for the end of
the car.
'Sister Augusta watched her,
and seeing that she did not stop at
the water tank, sprang after her.
The demented Sister walked rap-
idly out to the platform and at-
tempted to throw herself from the
train, which was running at about
35 miles an hour, but Sister Au-
gusta grappled with her and called
for help. There was a brief, terrible
struggle on the platform and be-
fore *help could reach them, both
of the Sisters lost their balance
and fell headlong from the train.
As soon as possible the train was
stopped and backed to the spot
where the tragedy occurred. Sis-
ter Francis was found to be unhurt,
but her devoted companion had
sacrificed her life to save that of
her charge..
"She was still alive when pick-
ed up, but it was seen she had sus-
tained injuries. When the train
reached Welsh, Dr. R. R. Arcen-
eaux, the railrdad surgeon, - was
summoned and as the train sped
eastward he did all that was in his
power to keep alive the vital spark
but all in vain. She died just be-
fore the train reached Lafayette.
"The remains were taken from
the traiu at Lafayette and placed
in charge of the Carmelite Sisters^
who have a convent there. The
inquest will probably be held
there by Coronor MoutoiL The
dead sister was apparently 23 or
24 years old.
"After the tragedy the insane
Sister was locked in the drawing
room of the car and one of .the
lady passengers remained wtth her
until Lafayette was reached, where
she was taken from the train by the
Sisters there and $ared for.
"Sister Augusta apparently
struck on her head, causing con-
cussion of the brain. She never
regained consciousness.
"The body of Sister Augusta ar-
rived on. the 1:23 p, m, train and
were tenderly carried from the ex-
press car to the parlors of the Sa-
cred Heart convent. The funeral
services were held at the Catholic
church in Halletsville and the in-
terment at the Convent cemetery."

At the earnest request of Hon.
Harvie Jordan, of Georgia, presi-
dent of the Southern Cotton Grow-
er's Protective Association, and
prominent farther# in this State, I
issue this call fdr the farmers in
this State to mfeet at their respect-
ive courthouses eh the first Satur-
day in April to consider thf advi-
sability of reducing the cotton acre-
age for this year, and also discuss
ways and means for protecting t^e
price of our staple from present
manipulations. ;If the cotton ^acre-
age of the South be increased, the
price for. the staple will go down
below 6 cents next fall, which will
result in the greatest financial ca-
lamity that has befallen the South-
ern farmer in jN&ars. Now is the
time for action,* because the price
of the staple next season will be
fixed according to the acreage plan-
ted this spring.
Let your slogan be more corn,
more grain, more hogs, more cat-
tle and more money.
Let every cotton farmer in this
State attend these county meetings
on the first Saturday in April and
determine to protect their property
rom utter annihilation.

SOME TRUTHS IN PIG FEEDING.
pro-
pigs
The Maryland Experiment Sta-
tion publishes<,the following con-
clusions drawn from its pig feed-
ing experiments:
1. It \Vas found that with some
rations the gains on pigs could be
produced as- low as 2i cents per
pound.
2. In all the tests where pro-
perly compounded rations were
used pork was produced at a pro-
fit when the pigs ware n#t allow-
ed to become too old.
3. The cost of producing a
pound of pork increases with the
age of. a pig.
4. The aim should be to
duce from 150 to 200 pound
at six to seven months old for
greatest profit.
5. Skim milk was found to
have a feeding value for pigs equal
to fully double the price charged
at most of the creameries of the
state.
6. Separator skim milk at I
cent per gallon and linseed and
gluten meals at $15 per ton, have
about the same value for balancing
rations for pig feed.
7. Cream or "King''
meal was found to be more
no mica! for balancing rations
pigs than linseed, meal.
8. Ground fodder, such as the
^Jew Corn Product, was fc
be a yaluable addition to
for pigs.
