! ——
| From the Dawson News:
{ For lynching in squads Geor
i]j.;iu must yield the palm to Flor
tida. It is true that Georgia was
the scene of a quintupie lynching,
‘ but in that case the five were mcn,!
{ while Ilorida’s lvnching of five
i persons disposed of three men
| and two women ; so it must be as
‘;«u:n«.-d that the championship
| now goes to the peninsular state,
{ says the Savannah News. How
| ever, the difterence between the
‘l\\;-' aftairs, is not so great as to
l\ Gieorgians any excuse to of
ticr advice-to Florida, although
| there is always good reason to ex
| press regret when any state suf
| ters from such a tragedy. The
* sufterings of the lynched negroes
| were soon over, but the evil re
| sults of the crime of their taking
| oft are sure to be felt for some
time to come.
{ Aside irom the inexcusable
‘ wrong done to the negroes involy-
L <, mob violence is a direct blow
| to the fortunes of the section of
| the country where it occurs. Such
wrong-doing cannot be defended.

WHY IS IT?
Progressive Farmer:
There have been thousands of
examples furnishing proof of the
increased yields resulting from
i the plowing under of a legume
crop, and there is probably not a
farmer who has noi seen many
such examples, but still, we sel
dom grow more than the smalj
est acreage of legumes and still
more seldom plow them under.
The explanation is simply that
4 the average farmer not only does
aot Dbelicve what he hears and
PreAas about such matters, but he
does not even believe what he ac
tually sces with his own Cyces.
tle sees the results, but does not
believe that the plowing under of
-!;‘m- fegumes is the real cause of
{ these results, He really believes
that there is some other explana
tion and that the same results
would not follow for him. No
other explanation can possibly
taccount for our continued culti
vation of poor soils, when legum
es will make them rich, or at least
legumes will double the yields of
our soils without the loss of a
single pound of the Crops now
grown. Truly, the way of the un
believer is hard. |
| TO TRAIN FARMERS
State Bankers’ Executive Com
| mittee Sets Aside $1,500
! Macon, Ga., Sept. 4.—One
thousand five hundred dollars to

GREENWOOD IS GETTING CROWDS
T C’“S;M?ffli‘%hqé;é‘ééfiifiifi‘é‘ffifi i i
That the Greenwood show,
which is filling a week's engage
ment here on the old ball park
ot on Meeting street, will con
tinue 1o pack the big tent the bai
ance of the week is almost a fore
gone conclusion, for last night
witnessed another capacity audi
ence and the immensc seating ca
pacity of 5000 was nceded to
comfortably care for the big
crowds. "
The Greenwood Show is prob
ably the only one of its kind in
the world as it differs radically
from any that has ever been or
ganized before and, as the man
- agement puts it, “We conform ab
solutely to the pure show law,”
and it seems that this is the form
of amusement the people of Char
leston want.
The show, summed up in a few
words, is one of the best that has
ever appeared here under canvas
and 1s as clean and wholesome as
it is possible for a show to be.

REPLACES FLIVVER
WITH POCKET CHANGE
! Waukesha, Wis., Sept: s.—|
Harvey Smithers was driving his
’ Ford today near Pine Lake, when
‘he heard the siren of a big tour
ing car. He endeavored to get
out of the narrow road, but the
big machine hit the little one
amidship. Smithers was spilled
into a ditch. The driver of the
big car came back, looked over
the wreck and said: _
- olt wasatt'my fault”
Then the unknown driver, who
dove a New York licensed car,
peeled 8360 off a huge roll of bills,
told Harvy to buy a new car and
drove away. L
anere 15 a dehcious treshness
about the entire attraction, the
costumes are nesw, bright and at
tractive, the seating arrangement
ideal, and the show itself leaves
nothing to be desired in the way
of amusement.
It is hoped that the example
set by this show will be followed
Ly others as the time is past when
an amusement enterprise has to
appeal to the grdsser instincts to
entertain them.
The show will remain in Char
ieston for thebalance of the week,
-with a performance every night
and a special matinee on Satur
day.
Mr. Greenwood is himself look
ing after the comfort of his pa
trons and takes special care of la
dies and children who may attend
without an escort. The price of
admission is 15 cents for adults
and 10 cents for children.—Char
leston American, Aug. 23, 1916.
