"One of the encouraging signs
of the time for the future of the
South ts' the exodus from the
cities-to the farm that when
moving in opposite direction
operated most disastrously upon
our agricultural growth. While
it is true , the advande jn the
price of cotton has been a large
factor iu this reaction, It has not
been the sole' oause. The gen
era! surroundings of the farm
have changed, and by means of
better roads, the telephone, the
automobile, the bicycle, the ru
ral delivery of mails, and bolter
railway communication, tbe farm
Is no longer an isolated spot, but
m most instances, a part of the
city, throbbing with its activities
while free from tbe crowding dis
advantages of a city life. In the
encouragement of this move
tnent the Department of Agrh
there are thousands of wounded
soldiers in the houses and

Outlaw Identified.
Union Associated Press. •
Mt. Vernon, N. Y., Aug. 3.—
The outlaw who shot Detective
Reilly, who was arrested after a
long bunt by a posse and blood-
giation, should one be establish
ed, could be made to contribute
valuable service, for the life of
the farm is the life of the state
and cities waste as the prosper
ity of the farm withers.
“All of our cities are over
crowded with people of both
colors, who seent to prefer want
ib town to plenty oo the farm.
An immigration Bureau, devot
ed only to this missionary work
to the farm,* would do more in
one year than would be possible
in ten years in fields where sues
cess is and uncertain factor, al
ways. We have a vagrant law
that fits many of these cases,
but its spasmodic enforcement
just after ite enactment, that
promised so much, the interest
in which has since lapsed into a
state of most intense "innocuous
desuetude,” shows, that we are
n>t suffering from tbe absence of
statutes in this particular line,
but, rather laxity iu the enforce
ment of those that now comber
our Statue book.”
