-COUNTS
Of the club children the Sun-
day school attendance has increa-
sed over 7 per cent and attend-
ance at church services by 5 per
cent.
I have made a demand on my
teachers to organize and maintain
under my dictation and sugges-
tions the Social Center move, and
1 am pleased to tell you that at
•least 40 per cent of my schools
Slave done excellent work and you
will be pleased to know that the
club pupils have been in the lead
in every case.
We offered a prize on sanitary
conditions and the contest was
indeed a heated one, and in every
instance the schools which were
represented by club work were
in the lead and the prize awarded
to a school maintaining a Social
Center move.
I desire to thank you and every
other county agent for the good
work done by you and the State
and National Departments, and
trust that this great move will
continue, which it will, and that
the extended study of this edu-
cational move will soon convince
the most skeptical that the success
of agriculture depends upon the
brain as well as the muscle.

Some of the northern Republi-

out of it.

Washington, July 28.—Ameri-
can marines were landed today at
Port au Prince, Haiti, to protect
the lives and property of Ameri-
cans and other foreigners. Rear
Admiral Caperton advised the Na-
vy department late tonight that he
had sent a force ashore from the
Cruiser Washington. Rear Admi-
ral Benson, acting Secretary of
the Navy, decline^ to make the
message public, but said "Admi-
ral Caperton now has the siuation
well in hand.”
There was no firing at the ma-
Port au Prince, July 28.—A mob
of infuriated Haitians today de-
moved Vilburn Guillaume, presi-
den of Haiti, from the French le-
gation, where he took refuge yes-
terday, and shot him to death in
front of the building.
This aot of violence followed
prisoners who were massacred in
prison yesterday morning at the
time of the revolutionary outbreak
against President Guillaume. The
mob, composed mostly of relatives
of the victims, invaded the French
legation and seized Guillaume. M.
Garard, French Minister to Hai-
ti, protested vigoriusly, but he was
powerless.
Guillaume was dragged forth.
Once in the street the crowd surg-
ed around him with imprecations,
and he was promptly shot to death,
his body mutilated and dragged
through the streets.

Some of these papers
are trying to make it appear that
Germany or some other nation
could land an army here at any
time they please and take complete
charge of this great common-
wealth. Well, if they think they
can do this just let them crack
their whip. There are millions
of men who are not going to fight
away from home, but the very
minute some nation comes to our
door you will see every mother’s
son of them do their part. No,
the conditions are not alarming at
all—only a little racket coming
from fighters of the administra-
tion and from a few army officials
who are wanting fatter jobs than
they are now holding.
It seemed for a time last Sat-
urday evening that a mob was
going to be formed to wait on a
black coon that had gotten out
of his place, and would probably
have been done had it not been for
the foresight of the officers. We
are glad that it did not happen,
however, as the case did not justi-
fy such actions. The best thing
that could have been done had a
bunch of men taken the matter in
their hands would have been to
taken the dirty whelp out behind
a barn, turn him over a barrel
and used a wet rope. People ought
not make use of the mob law
when everything is excitement.
Under such conditions things are
liable to be done that will be re-
gretted, besides the mob law is
seldom ever necessary. When men
are not working under the impulse
of excitement they usually aeeoaap
lish much better results than they
do when excitement is running at
top speed. Wait until aileseHa-
meut is over and than give What is
necessary.
We have been having nice cool
