African Limbless
Cotton Seed Free....
Anyone who sends one dollar for a year’s subscription to the At
lanta Semi-Weekly Journal can get postpaid one pound of the cele
brated African Limbless Cotton Seed without charge.
A pound of these seed will plant one-fifth of an acre, and with
proper attention should yield enough to plant a crop.
The seed were tested in a list of thirty varieties by the Georgia
Experiment Station and a bulletin recently issued by Director Red
ding shows that the African Limbless Cotton produced 70 pounds
more per acre than any other variety, and 161 pounds more per acre
than the average of thirty leading varieties.
The African Limbless Cotton produced 780 pounds of lint per acre,
which is nearly four times the average on the farms of the South.
This shows what high fertilization and thorough culture will do
with these excellent Seed. The value of the product, counting cotton
at 5 cents and seed at 13 cents a bushel, was over $45 per acre. The
cost of fertilizers used was $4.77 per acre.
The Journal does not guarantee results, but the result of the test
at the Experiment Station makes it worth a farmer’s while to test
these seed when lie can get them for nothing.
The Journal brings you the NEWS OF THE WORLD TWICE A
WEEK with hundreds of articles of special interest about the farm,
the household, juvenile topics, etc., and every southern farmer
should have the paper.
You don’t have to wait a week for the news, but get it twice as
often as yon do in the weeklies, which charge the same price.

SEPARATE CARS REQUIRED.
North Carolina House Adopts a “Jim
Crow” Measure.
Raleigh, Feb. 22.—The house has
passed a “Jim Crow” car bill, after au
exciting debate, which lasted over three
hours. It requires separate and equal
accommodations for whites and negroes
with a firstclass car for each aud a sec
ondclass car divided by a partition.
It is left to the discretion of the rail
way commission to exempt roads whose
gross earnings are not over $1,500 per
mile, provided that on such railways
there shall be separation of both races,
aud it is made the duty of the railway
commission to prepare and adopt all
necessary rules for carrying this regu
lation into effect. Railways are ex
cepted on which there is no negro travel.
Pullman sleeping cars, through ex
press trains, not stopping at local Ra
tions, relief trains, are excepted and ne
gro servants aro also excepted.
Railways failing to provide such sep
arate accommodations are guilty of a
misdemeanor and liable to SIOO a day
fine, and the conductor who fails to
carry out the law is also made guilty ol
a misdemeanor. '

The New Patriotism.
William R. Day, who was two years
ago an obscure lawyer in a small Ohio
town, is to receive SIOO,OOO for 59 days’
work on the peace commission.
This is equal to the president’s salary
for two years. It is equal to a me
chanic’s wages for 250 years. It is equal
to what a barber would receive for shav
ing 1,000,000 men.
Many American citizens are working
for $5 a week, but this William R. Day,
this matchless encyclopedic miracle of
statesmanship, this noble being from a
higher sphere, condescends to serve his
country in liei hour of need for $11,900
a week.
John Milton, an inferior man to Wil
liam R. Day, only received about SIOO
for his great work “Paradise Lost.”
Goldsmith, also one of the unfit to
survive, only got S3O for his book, “The
Vicar of Wakefield.”
Our forefathers, who met together
125 years ago and drew up the Declara
tion of Independence, actually were such
business failures as to do the job for
nothing.
So far as we know Christ gave the
world the sermon on the mount without
even taking up a collection.
But William R. Day is a man of the
nineteenth century. He is a patriot of
the new American school. He does not,
like the foolish heroes of olden times,
sacrifice himself to his country. He has
learned a better paying trick than that
—he sacrifices his country for himself.
How grand to think that, at last, in
our young republic, virtue receives its
reward! How inspiring to feel that
genius is appreciated and paid for, not
in mere fame and honor and affection,
but in cold cash! How patriotism will
henceforth bloom and blossom as the
rose I
My country, ’tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing—
Land where Mark Hanna reigns,
Land where I grabbed my gains,
Land that rewards my brains.

the hardware dealer, with a large, be

And this is the boy himself, I dare

truer, sir, than the old saying, ‘All
work and no play makes Jack a dull
boy.’ ”
“‘All play and no work,quoted
Johnny, to show that he knew the rest
of it, “ ‘makes him a mere toy.’ ”
“To be sure!” exclaimed Johnny’s
father. “I hadn’t thought of that. He
never does a lick of work, and skates
would only make him idler, if possible,
than he is already. We won’t buy any
skates today, Mr. Lupton. Come, John

THEFIGHTON TRUSTS
ORGANIZED LABOR MAKING A CON
TEST IN INDIANA.
A Commnnlty Tlint Hint Been Mont
Terribly Rrmlei! by the Fanprit of
the Vlclons Mounter—Ontery of the
Victims of Plutoerney’s Knpnclty.
The laborers and unions of Indiana’s
gas belt—the manufacturing section of
the state which within the last ten
years has elevated Indiana from eighth
place to third place in the list of manu
facturing states of the union—have
taken up the bill against trusts intro
duced in the Indiana legislature by Sen
ator Johnson and are forming a for
midable lobby to force its enactment.
No one section of the country has
realized more fully than this 5,000
square miles of territory the baneful in
fluence of trusts. Today the varied in
dustries of this section are bound up by
trusts, and wages are being beaten
dewn, and workmen are being subjected
to rules which tend to wipe out the in
dividuality which they once possessed.
The new wire and wire nail trusts,
the steel trusts, the window glass and
the plate glass trusts, the snath and the
cradle trusts, the paper trusts, the
strawboard trust, the tin plate, the
wooden ware, the natural gas and the
hundred and one other trusts, have
made this section a storm center of agi
tation. The wage lists today show as
great reductions as 45 per cent within
the last 18 months. The only trust
which has not yet struck at the heart of
wages is the newly organized $90,000,-
000 tin plate trust, and it is now pre
paring to make such a move. The nail
trust’s first move was to make a sweep
ing cut on wages ranging from 15 to 45
per cent. The snath and cradle trusts
have done even worse for laborers, for
they have shut all of the free labor con
cerns and have placed all of their con
tracts with states which sell their con
vict labor. Not a snath or cradle is
made in America today by free labor.
The wire trust has browbeaten labor,
and the plate glass trust literally has
ground the life out of workmen. These
statements are from official records
which appear on the books of the In
diana labor commissioners’ reports.
Commissioner McCormick of the state
labor arbitration board says:
“In no place in the country is the
baneful influence of trusts felt to a
greater extent than in the Indiana gas
belt. They are not trammeled by state
laws, and they defy federal authority.
They always adjust wages, to the very
lowest scale. They refuse to confer with
their men ; they refuse to arbitrate. All
propositions in case of a strike are re
jected, and they shut down their plants
to starve the men out. Blanket injunc
tions are prayed for by these illegal cor
porations, and it is a sorry commentary
that the eagerness with which injunc
tions are sought is only equaled by the
ease with which they are granted. Thus
these unlawful institutions —in Indiana
at least —feast to satiety upon despoiled
labor, destroy honorable competition,
stifle legitimate enterprise, appreciate
the, price of their product to extortion
and levy unjust tribute on the con
sumer —all in violation and defiance of
the law. ”
Though there is no disposition in In
diana to abrogate the injunction, still
there is a tendency among those who look
to the welfare of labor at least to modify
it. The trusts, as indicated by Mr. Mc-
Cormick, have sought blanket injunc
tions upon most trivial causes:
“The supreme court in granting a
blanket injunction to the wire nail
trust, at that same moment reduced
the wages of day laborers 43 per cent
and placed that money into the hands
of the trust, by which it is now able to
clear $lO on every ton of finished prod
net,’’ is the declaration of a well known
labor man. “The workers had not at
that time offered any violence to war
rant a blanket injunction, which took
their very life from under them and
made them slaves of the trust.
“There is another enactment in In
diana which robs the laborer of a
chance to get an equal show with trusts
in the courts. That is the special ver
dict law, applicable to all damage suits.
By this law the defense may submit aS
many interrogatories to the jury as it
sees fit, and iD the hands of capable at
torneys, who submit as many as 800 or
400, they can make any jury deny its
statements and convictions a dozen
time# and kill whatever verdict they
may find for the plaintiff. Trusts hide
behind this, subject their workmen to
the most perilous tasks and maim and
cripple them for life. There are many
cases on record where laborers literally
have been ground to pieces and crippled
for life, in which by reason of this law
in favor of great corporations the men
were unable to collect the judgments
rendered.
“There are thousands of families in
the gas belt section alone who are living
on the crumbs of life and many who
are starving by slow degrees by reason
of the organization of trusts which ara
operating with such terrible effect in
this one small spot. On the other hand,
there are many manufacturers who
have become millionaires by reason of
these great combinations.” —Anderson
