Men from Greenwood, Saluda, Edgeflelk, Aiken, Abbeville, Newberry and Lincoln county, Georgia, joined in the hunt. From the spot where Quarles was found he was taken to the home ' of his victim, and while there was no doubt on the part of those finding him about his being the right party, the crowd was cool and orderly and they inmediately agreed to take him back to the scene of the crime and to the victim for her identifica tion. Not only were those in charge of him sure of his identity, but the negro himself admitted having com mitted the crime and while he gave no reason for committing the deed, lie said: "Tell all the colored people that this is the wrong thing, and tell them to try and be better peo ple and never try the deed that I tried." After bein gidentified by his vic tim and making a full confession, the negro was taken to a point within the Robinson graveyard, in the clump of bushes where the deed was committed, just 100 yards from his MSINFECTANT KEEPS VIL, SAYS TEXAN Si reliable Texan relating to the and Disinfectant, is given for the iiize the ravages of the boll weevil: >f my customcrs thought out lie boll weevil out of his cot ne the weevil had shot off at L! acre and never let a bloom is Germicide, Dip and Disin iblespoonfuls of Dip to three d it up thoroughly and then sack in the water, rung it his cultivator and let it drag e sack as often as needed so ves and the scent drives the cts away.

It's Toasted homle and about two hundred yards from the home of his victim, and with a plow line around his nieck and a trace chain around his body, he was directed to climb a cedar tree. IIe broke the limbs and climbed the tree about fifteen feet. When he had reached this point, some one went up ad chained and tied him to the tree. When all was in readi ness a volley of probably five thous and shots was fired. lie was left hanging to the tree. This is the first lynching that has ever occurred in McCormick county, and although the regular June term of the court of general sessions for McCormick county commences here tomorrow, the appeal of the oflicers and those who do not favor lynching fell on deaf ears, as the men went about their work. In fact, not more than half the number in the hunt were present when the negro was put to death. Those in charge of the negro, who had taken him from the town of Plumb Branch to the home of his victim to be identified, had stated that they wouhl return to the town before going about the work of lynching him. T1'his statement was relied upon by several hundred who remained in the town of Plumb Branch awaiting the return of the men with the culprit, and when all of a sudden a volley of shots rang out, everybody made a rush for the scene, the crowd present having left by other and various roads before those Waiting in the town could reach the scene. The hooting took place at 4 o'clock.

If this opportunity does not ex 1st the nuiber of farmers will con tinue to decrease and the type of men left in this industry will not equal those that have brought the Aierican farme ito his )resent high status of leading the globe from the standpoint of per capita output. Progressive evolution in agriculture probably means that the unit of productio'n must develop sufliciently to make a specialization in labor possible that will comr ire favorably with that of other industries. The farmer's life offers the great est opportun ity for explression of ini dividuality that exists in any voca tion. NMatters of personality, of eli ciency, and of organizing ;an1d business ability are more directly expressed in the returns he receives anid in the direct sense of accomplishment he ex periences that in any other line of en deavor. The man who is alert, quick wide-awake aid observatnt, is more completely appreciated that in any other industry, for he must discover his Ieeds and gain his rewards through close association with each of the manifold phases of Nature. There is, no one to tell him the things to do himself, and his direct measure of his own results are the chiefest of his re wards. Neverth,.less many improvements in the housing and Voelal conditions of the farm must take place. The stanidards of the city with its home conven iences and labor-saving devices must be made available to the lhiouse wife and her family. Their need for coim)paniioniship1 must he met hv im proved social conditions.
