Governor Beckham is backing

The comedy of resentencing the

In Chicago a school issued grad

DELAY OF LAW RESPONSIBLE
That the tedious, exasperating
and needless delay of the law—
and of lawyers—in the carrying
out ot verdicts of the courts in
criminal cases is responsible in
large degree for the lynching com
mitted in the South, no one will
deny. Sheriff Shipp, of Tennes
see, says that the supreme court
caused the lynching for which he]
is held in part responsible. If the]
court had not interfered with
the hanging of the negro there*
would have been no lynching.
The people were content to let the J
law take its course so long as the
law saved them the trouble of or
ganizing a lynching bee. The jury
promptly convicted, and if the
man had been imipediately hanged
there would have been no mob.

LOOK WELL TO THE MILK NOW
At this time of year and
throughout the summer months,
the mistress and all the household
should take care that milk fur
nished them is good, fresh and
free from preservatives. Milk may
become contaminated with infec
tious matter in various ways. It
may receive it from the hands,
person and clothing of milkers
and others by whom it is handled,
whether they themselves are sick
or convalescent or acting in the
capacity of nurse or attendant for
others.
It may acquire it from unclean
vessels, rinsed in polluted water.
Outbreaks traced to milk general
ly involve a considerable number
of persons and appear with some
suddenness.
There is an abundance of evi
dence that milk is capable of
transmitting a number of the in
fectious diseases such as diphther
ia, scarlet fever, typhoid fever,
( and possibly consumption, chol
era infantum and Asiatic cholera)
to mankind. The usual way that
milk conveys the diseases just
mentioned is that it becomes con
taminated by those who are hand
ling it aud are suffering with an
i infectious disease or convalescent
therefrom.
Milk is frequent contaminated
with typhoid germs by dairymen
washing vessels in polluted water.
It would be a wise plan for dairy
men to wash all vessels with boil
ing water or water that has been
previously boiled, and never rinse
them in cold water at all, as it is
seldom known positively when wa
ter is free from typhoid infection.
In recent years a number of ex
tensive epidemics of typhoid fever
in this country aud elsewhere have
been traced directly t ) the milk
supply,
MONEY IN THE COTTON STALK
What in the near future prom
ises to add greatly to the wealth
of the South is the discovery of a
process by which paper and bag
ging for cotton bales can be manu
factured from the fiber of cotton
stalks. We are told that experts
have been at work for the past
two years, solving the practical
features of the problem, and that
their labors are to be rewarded
with striking success. When this
invention has been placed in oper
ation in the South by the estab
lishment of a number of paper
mills and bagging factories, it is
estimated that the value of the
cotton crop will be increased $50,-
000,000 annually to the cotton
growers. The manufacture of pa
per and bagging from cotton stalks
means the profitable utilization of
a heretofore waste product. It
has already been demonstrated by
practical experiment that the fibre
of the whole cotton plant, includ
ing the stalk and limbs, is al
most as strong as the fibre of the
flax plant. This will prove inter
esting and valuable news to those
cotton planters of the South who
each year are forced to expend so
much time and labor in getting
the stalks of the previous crop out
of the way for the planting of the
n«w crop. With the establish
ment of paper mills throughout
the South for the purpose of con
verting this heretofore waste pro
duct into a valuable and useful
commercial commodity, the grow
ers will not only receive cost of la
bor for removing the stalks from
their fields, but a profit from the
new industry as well.

SMALLER FARMS ARE BETTER
It is a demonstrated fact, but
little heeded, it seems, especially
in the South and even here in
Sumter county, that a small farm
well attended to is more profitable
than a larger one not so well culti
vated. In South California, it is
said, the average size of the farms
is only twenty-three acres, while
farther north in the San Joaquin
valley—where are located 54 per
cent of the irrigated lands of the
state—the average size is more
than 100 acres. Bnt with the
close intensive method of cultiva
tion of the small farms in South
California the profits are far great
er, land more productive and val
uable and the people and country
generally more prosperous. Thus,
by having small farms people
could live closer together, which
would enable them to better build
up schools, churches and such oth
er institutions that would not on
ly result in making the soil pro
duce and look better, but afford
them opportunities to cultivate the
mind and heart that they, too, may
look and be their best.
