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. AGENTS WANTED EVERYWHERE. Send for a sample copy.

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.

' Secretary Said to He Short. Tampa, Fla., Feb. 18.—Quite a sensa tion has been created here by the arrest of Antonio Hernandez, secretary of the Ybor City Building aud Loan associa tion. He is charged with being short in his accounts with the association, and pending an investigation he has been placed in the county jail. Hosmer Klected President. Greensboro, Ala., Feb. 18.—The trustees of the Southern university have elected Rev. S. M. Hosmer of Birming ham to the presidency of the institution to succeed Dr. Keener, who recently died. Poor Professor. Miss Dovey—Gnssie, I wish you’d give up those awful boxing lessons. Gussie—Why, my love? Miss D.—l’m so afraid you’ll lose your temper one of these times and per mps kill the poor professor.—Boston Globe. 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. Gold is its king I —H. N. C. in George’s Weekly. Expensive Knowledge. “Skates for your little boy?” said the hardware dealer, with a large, be nevolent smile on his face. “Yes, sir. And this is the boy himself, I dare say? Ah, well, we’ll have to fit him out with a nice pair. There is nothing 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 ny. ” —Chicago Tribune..

One of the Modern Convenience*. “I have a handsome home,” he sug gested. “W T ith all the modern conveniences ?” she asked. “No-o,” he answered slowly; “not all.

Then she managed to convey the as surance to him that one was to be had for the 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 (IncL ) Cor Chicago Record.
