"I've run 'J okey Cornors' for thlr
cy years, and I'm going to keep on
?unnlng it Just about as I ploase,"
mid old George Simpson, Ol vii War
veteran, when other fanners of the
vicinity of Fowlorvlllo, Mloh., sug
gesterf osrtaln reforms for tho gjod of
thc community.
Thereupon tho protesting farmers
held oounc'l with their wives, and
shortly "J jokoy Corners" was the
moonlit Boouo of ono cf those weird
and semi savago ooromonies which
seldom occur except in romote rural
neighborhoods. Ie this instar C3 the
bustling town of Fowler v.ile ls closely
iden tilled with the afUlr.
As a result, V-Jteran George Simp
son Ja "ram pat g In1 " around threaten
ing lu avy damage suits against half a
d- z-:n young farmers, while his house
keeper ono young woman guest and his
former wife, who dwelt nearby, aro lu
the oare c f doctors whoso o Uef task ls
to overcome thc effects of a recent coat
of tar and feathers.
Tills ls ono of those c&scs where thu
law was u labia to m^ka up Its mind
that> tts majesty had been ? ff oded.
Accordingly the law was appealed to
in valu to "olean up" "Jockey Cor
uers."
Old George Simpson's remark quot
ed above was well calculated to
strengthen neighborhood suspicions
tba*; bite convivial doings at bis house
were prejudicial to tho Interests of
strict morality at "Jockey Corners .'
Tue veteran Is about Sixty-live years
old and quite a stubb /ru character.
A f,'w years ago Simpson and his
wife were divorced. The. ?am? pro
ceedings divided the Simpson proper
ty, a house and thirteen acres cf land
falling to t to s'iare of tho \v,fe, while
Sim po ou reallied the homestead and
twenty sores. Tl.Is homestead ls al
the Juncture of t'?o highways, and,
owh g to the general sporting procliv
ities of old George Simpson, o:tmc to
bo known as "Jockey Corners."
Divorced persons are not c C?.T-HJ
popular around about ''Jookoy Cor
nera." W;;en tho divorced Simpson
promptly engaged ?,s his housekeeper
Mr?. Coia IO ?lott, herself recently di
vorced, his popularity, an i hors alsj,
experienced a Still further decline.
'With growing resentment th
neighbor farmers and their wlvjs d.'s
cursed various anecdotes tending tu
throw unfavorable re?eotione upon the
character of Mrs Elliott. O.ioof tbes<
tales undoubtedly ind its au - share ir.
her subsiti emt humiliation,
On tho day Mrs. Elliott left ber
husband she sssid Co ha >e gone Into
thc oomileld w lore he was at work
aud, tossing her youngest child upon
a sheck of oom he had Just cut, re
marked:
"There's your bra< ; take iV and
thereupon left tho premires, never to
rel urn.
In the discussion cf these and otho
tak'3 lt was usual for these fermer?,
and their wives to speculate upon the
occasion for the prolonged visit of ?
rather handsome young woman-M hs
Hassle O.iyor, cf Gowen, Mich.-at
Simpson's house. When, recently
Miss Oliver waa j lined there by am
ttier girl from the same place-a very
young and delicate-looking girl noned
Glayds M rimons-the spi eulatlont
took an indignant tone-es pedal ly
with the farmers wives-which boded
111 for the "Boss of Jockey Comors "
lu fact, lt was only three cbiys after
Miss Em mona's arrival that the Mau
ling crisis occurred.
All nay there was suppressed cx
jltement at a dc/.m farmhouses
where the lulluence of "JuckoyCor
iers" was felt. Several of the young
jr men visited each other casually.
lOnferring willi each other mysterious
y while pretending to be examining
?ach other's live stock.
In the afternoon the news was car
led about that Simpson and Mrs. El
lott, hin housekeeper, had driven into
own, but would oe back In tho carl>
vening. They had left the two young
vomon at homo, lt was further slgnl
icantlv mentioned that the formel
firs. Simpson was at home in her own
ioime a short distance away across the
lelds.
On the road to Fowlervllle, a short
ilstanco from the Simpson house,
here ls a grove whi re a umall stream
i orosstd hy a wooden bridge. When
orscs and vehicles cross this bridge
here is always a clattnrlng on tlx.
jote planks that can bo heart, for a
unrtef of a mile.
Soon after dusk a farmer driving H
gut wagon in wlilch there were sev
rai bundles and something covaree
dth a horse blanket turned his horse
lieut I y into the gro/e by thc brldgr
nd hitched lt to a tree. Presently lu

They busied themselves In taking

Suddenly the mon In the giove has
med their mysterloim preparation ,
ir there fell upon their ears the dat
jr of wrgi'ii wheels on the bridge
It was Simpson driving home fron
iwp. Iljsidc him was the hon-okeep

as a young man of snob high stand
ig In the community ?iat his name
as been mentioned only In whispers
id only among those who kn iw him
Tlie Simpson team was tired ano
as pr< needing at a walk. Just as tin
agon rolled eff thc bridge thc nigh
arne snorted and shied.
"GiddapI" sivid Simpson.
T ie ni xi/ instant both horsos wert
lorting, but tho wagon was at a
andatill lu tho road. Two men witt
icir beads and shoulders swathed in
bite, with holes through which tildi
/es gleamed, were at tho horses' bri
les, while a d< zen others, similarly
isgulsed surrounded the wagon. Mrs
I Ho tb scroamed Simpson lasbod or.',
^vagoly with his whip. The yo?pK
an on thc rear soat j imped ovejf^he
agon's tatuoard, duded the^?11"8
rotchod out to capture hi#i ?Ld
ned dowji tho road, cio-plng in tho
gloom, /
"Get out!" commanded tho leader
ot tbeiwhlte oapi.
Tw housekeeper obeyed, trembling
with fear, and was soizad by one ot
the whlto oaps.
"You'll suffer ?or this," and Simp
son, lashing out with hil whip again
li's wblp was tom iron, his grasp
A dozxn banda reached up and tore
bim from his seat and Hung him to the
ground.
The Simpson team wa? hltobed to
a tree beside the road. The woman
was half carried into the grove. It
required tho united strength of half
tho party of white oipB to follow with
oho struggling, wiry old '.'Boss of
J cokey Gornors. "
When Simpson finally suooumbed
ind sat sullenly quiet on the ground
tour other white caps suddenly ap
peared two half oarrying two fright
.med girls-MILS Ch i vcr and Miss Baa
mons-while tho other two escorted
the former Mrs. Simpson.
At sight of tho slender, verv youth
ful and delloato looking MIBS Emmons
tho leaders of the white caps with
drew to a little distance and oonversed
earnestly. Ou their return to the
main group they whispered to one of
thc older members of the party, who
took the young girl silently by the
?rand and lid her away
lo was afterward learnt d that this
farmer carried out hi? instructions to
Immediately escort Miss Elamons
baok to hor home at G ?wen.
The "Boss of Jockey Gorners" and
tho women in the hands of the white
caps wero uot long left in doubt about
the fate that awaited thom. Neirty
hung a kettle over a fire of dry branoh
es and in lt bubbled a dark, vlsoid
sub .tattoo whose smell left uo doubt
as to Ito charaotcr. It was ordinary
bulldors' tar.
"You H?ndeP shrieked the former
Mrs Simpson to tho men who wore
tearing oil hor upper garments, while
others were half stripping Simpson
and other women. "1 know now why
you stole my pillows. But I'll die
tiru ! 1
Tile white caD answer was lu the
form of thick splashos of warm tar
over the ourkod shouldors of all tho
7lctlm9.
Tue wo mau shrieked for merov, but
were not spired. Mrs. Elliott soratoh
nd aad bio so furlou ly at first that
sim was dip pad in tue stream to coo!
the ardor of her resistance, and then
was treated to an ox i ra thick ooat of
t>.r.
Simpson struggled and swore,
bhrea'enlng all sorts ot diro things,
white receiving his coat, UH ono of the
whlto capj sia.pj-.ed him in tho face
with his tarrel brush. After that he
.va? silent from neo<-~8lty.
When tho tar kettle wa? empty and
tho victims wore thoroughly coated
with t o sticky substance. Mrs. Simp
s n's pillows were ripped opeo and
their ll lily contents sprinkled thlokly
iver ?,11 tho tar-c iv^rod shoulders.
Toward the la?u; of the oerem ?ny
the white o:<p? thro?/ dhorebtou tu
the winds. Tiley charged Simpson
with his alleged c ff ? noes, naming the
wo nen as his confederates. N >t satis
tied with tho costume of tar aud
feathers, they klokod Bind over' thc
unfortunates. Tuon, as though;fren
zied by the spirit of cruelty whioh ru
OJ them, they began orying oui| for
f u th r vengoanos.
1 L t's ride thom on a rall," said
one. \
"Lvnoh the:) IV exolalmed anoj \t?
"Tlo thom to tho tailboard/*' -
wagon ano let me drag them "thro n
the town," said auother.
But at last wiser counsels prov 1
od. The miserable ob! ots of their
vengeance were dragcrod into the road
by tho white oaps and ordered to
"Shiddi !" which they did-and the
av. ug^rs of tho honor of "J ;okey Loo
ners" sepal Ated ani disappeared.
Probably only those who havo been
un'ortuna'.e enough to be vlotimsof a
tar and feathers ceremony appreciate
the serious consequences of suoh treat
ment. Iii more than ono case tho re
sult has been death. Tho coat of tar,
whioh hermetically seals tho pores of
the skin, can be removed only by the
persistent use of thc right ohemlcals.
In the meantime, thc victim suffers
from a racing fever, willoh can be cou
trjlloi only by restoring tho skin to
I br? normal ondltlon.
When the entire body has been
coated with tar the danger ls pro
portionately groater. In this oase,
happily for the victims, only tho up
per put of the body was so coated.
The former Mrs. Slmps-m wont home
and endeavored to removo the tar
with kerosene, whioh only made lt
worse. Siie managed to got to law
lerville that night, where dootorstook
hur In hand Two days later: though
still in a miserable plight, she was
able to travel to the homo of her sou
at Kir ming ton.
Miss Oliver is belleveved to hav3 re
plaood her dress waist over tho tar
coat and to have gone as speedily as
possible to her home at Gowen.
Tho action of Simpson and his
housekeeper was moro radloal and bel
Igerent. When the la<t of tho white
caps had disappeared they reseated
themselves In the Simpson wagon and
hove to Howell, the county soat
There, after obtaining medical atten
tion, they called on Sheriff Pratt and
Prosecuting Attorney Green.
They weicslok and demoted, but
ihey made formal complaints against
l?verai of the ".Jockey Gorners" farm
ers Later Simpson Hind damage suits

The value of the Southern Cotton j
AB8( olatlon to tho cotton planters of j
tho South is apparent from tho follow ,
lng statemont: ,
s In the two vears ending September ,
1st, 10C6, two orops of cotton, aggro
vating praotloally 25,000,000 bales, ,
will havo been marketed at an aver* j
?Ko prloo to Southern produoers of
nearly 10 1 2 oents per pound.
In the two years ending Sontombor
1st, 1898, 22,600,000 halos of cotton '.
were produoed and marked at an aver
ago prloo of 6 1-8 oents. ?
This Inoro um in price ls an aggre
gate of about $550,000,000, and ls very
largely tho work of the Southern Got- ,
ton Association. In comparison with (
inch an achievement the cost of main
taining Its organization is but Inti
uitesmul, and lt enters upon the oom- ,
lng cotton season with tho greatest
coutldcuce in tho ultimate realization ,
of ita purpose, namoly: fair prices for ,
tho produot of Southern labor; the ?
avoidance of over production of cot- ,
ton; and the protection of the South

has made its mistakes and has had its
enemies to light. Thc mistakes have
not, however, boon important, aa
shown by thc result, and its enemies
have for tho most part admitted Its
power and have beon foroed ultimate
ly to align themselves with its pur
poses.
The 1st of September, 1900, will
Qnd tho world absolutely bare of cot
tun. Tue visible supply will bo the
smallest on record. The 25.000 000
bales if ootton with which tho South
has supplied civilization during the
oast two years aro all consumed. Tho
United States Department of Agri
culture estimates that it will require 1
42,000,000 bales of cotton to adequate
ly clothe the world's population, and
the progrias of civilization is rapidly
advancing the world's population to a
point at whioh it will require to be
adequately clothed. I
Whatever the Biza bf tho coming
ootton orop, there ls no reason why lt
should be Bold at anything else than
tue average price obtained for the last
orop, through the i ff jr ts of the S mill
ern Cotton Association, namely: ll
3 4 cents and 12 cents a pound. In
terested and self-oou8tttuted author!*
tios have nf late boen endeavoring to
* ram pedo Southern holders and pro
du ;rra of ootton into the belief that
th coming orop was likely to ho an
abnormally largo ono, produoed from
an aoerage very much In excess of any
previously planted. This disposition
.seems to have penetrated even into
the Cr ip Estimating Board of the
United States Government, who ap
parently have not as yet fully eman
cipated themselves from the mala
droit lnilueuce which resulted In the
scandal whioh tho t il -rts of the
Southern Cotton Association last year
disclosed.
, ..That tho ootton or?n fox* tho season*
of ?900 7 ls likely to bo superabundant
or even'a large one, the Southern Cot
ton Association docs not believe. Its
reports irora its thousands o' members
and correspondents throughout tho
entire cotton heit indicate that the
tnoreasc in average over last yoar is
only 2 52 per cont,., and the scarcity
Of labor; the latoness of development,
the excessive rains in many section?
and drought In tho region weBt of thc
Mississippi Valley foreshadow any
thing bub a full yield for tho season
commencing September 1st next.
The published opinion if 150 mern
bera of thc New York, liverpool anti
Southern Cotton lOxouangrs ls that
a crop of about ll 000 000 halos will
be worth during tim coming season
13 :i7 cents per pound, and those pro
duoera who part with their product
for less than this ti/ure are needlessly
curtailing tho hard-earned pr* lits of
their toil and depreciating tho value
cf their fellow-producera' crop
It ls not tho purpose of the South

not Justified by conditions, ll ls UH
