negro cannot get justice at the hands
of the white man.
Over two thousand people assembl-

people gazed through the bars, eager
to ^satch sight of the pair.
Just before each man was hung he

crowd around him,

Johnson had put the negro out of a

Vines killed Deputy Constable Fred

box car in which he was hidden.
During the night the negroes prayed

LECT YOUR COTTON SEED NOW
rb/ average farmer picks his cotton
i/opens, gins it, sells tint and seed,
/then about the last of the season.
Is home seed enough for next
r’a planting. Li this way, as a rule
saves the latest and the poorest
If, when the cotton begins to open,
the farmer, with as much intelligent
help as the size of the crop will war-
rant, would go through the field and
select the early big bolls that are
grown and short-jointed, vigorous,well-
ormed stalks,until he has saved enough
to furnish seed for next year’s plant-
ing, and would have this seed ginned
t<\2tsetf, and carefully store it where
it will not heat, it is safe to say that
next season’s crop would ripen ten or
fifteen days earlier than the average
'if this year's crop, and the yield would
be practically doubled.
It would be just as’ reasonable to
shake down the apples promiscuously
from a tree and take them to the Fair,
hoping to win a premium in compe-
tition with a man who had selected
only the choicest specimens, or to
turn all your stock loose to br^fed in-
discriminately, instead of forcing the
survival of the fittest by the most rig-
id selection, and expect to improve
your stock, as it is to plamjt seed of any
kind without selecting with the great-
est care the most vigorous and the
best, and hope for good results.
It is fair to say that ten per cent, of
the cotton seed selected as above sug-
gested, i^ infinitely superior to the
average of the other ninety per cent.;
therefore, if you plant only the aver-
age of the whole you invite deteriora-
tion at nine to one.
Every cotton grower, from the man
who raises one bale to the man who
raises one hundred bales, can very
greatly increase his yield and his pro-
fit by this simple and inexpensive
method. ‘
This is something that you can do
in your dfrrn field; try it
