Clemson College.?The season is at
hand when many farmers will order
cotton seed for the 1923 crop. Too
little attention has been given in the
past to the source and quality of seed
used and a gr^at preventable Iosf has
been sustained, thinks Jas. L. Carberry,
Extension Agronomist who advises
that seed should be purchased
only from the most reputable grower
or dealer, and that quality is a greater
consideration than price and deserved
first thought.
o
Well-graded and delinted seed are
best, and prior to planting, a germination
test should be made for by this
simple means bad stands may be averted
to some extent.

ON CURING PORK BY
THE DRY METHOD
Typographical Error in Recent In
structions From Clenison
Clemson College.?In The Weekly
News Notes of December 9th, there
occurred in the article entitled "Curing
Pork" an error as to the ingredients:
wsed in the Dry Method of curing.
The sentence which read: "After
dry curing, use 6 to 7 pounds salt,
.and 2V4 pounds saltpeter for every
100 pounds of meat," should have read
as follows: "After dry curing:, vise G
to 7 pounds of salt, 2 Va pounds of
sugar, and 2 ounces of saltpeter for
every 100 pounds of meat."
In calling attention to this error.
D. T. Harrman, Extension Swine Specialist.
the au'hor of the article on
"Curing Meat." sun* rests that the
'"mount of s.alt might profitably lie
"banged to 8 pounds instead of to
7 pounds as experience in this state
last winder wonM indicate that 8
pounds should be the minimum for
general use.
o
fj#*r?pi'oHv the purchaser of seeds is
absolutely at the mercy of the seller; j
hence the importance of dealing only
with producers or dealers of highest
integrity and reputation for honest
dealing. In most cases the farmer
has absolutely no definite means of
knowing the variety, purity, etc., until
he has crrmvn thpm fnv ? i
Poor, inferior seeds means sure los?to
the farmer?a loss that may be
prevented hv the use of care in pur
chasing* But the farmer who fro1
year to year plants poor seed had1
mixed at the public pins will of ne<
cesity suffer a great loss. A record
of the total losses in the st.ite fror
such sources would be astounding.

still coursing: through the veins.
Find Fractures Check.
The singular feature is that the
fractures in both bodies were exactly
the same distance apart. The
pathologists measured along the femurs
and found that the breaks checked,
down to the fraction of an inch.
On the basis of this information
Federal investigators believed there
was something methodical in the torture
beyond the mere beating and
kicking which it is presumed Daniel
and Richards withstood, the presumption
being based on the nature of
the at.tack on W. C. Andrews, one of
thc;ir young friends seized by the
Kl/msmen the afternoon of the barbecue.
At first ther&> was some supposition
among investigators that after the
two men had been mauled thev were
taken to a cotton gin and thrown,
bound, into a bailing press, but several
circumstances discredit this
theory conclusively.
No machines in common usage on
the plantations in this section would
have caused the mutilation noted rt
the postmortem. This f:^ct has lcf
another mystery for the augmented
force of Federal agents to solve, fov
there has been nothing touching on it
in the statements of persons who
were acquainted with some of the I
movements of the black-hooded outlaws
on that* fatal night.
Quit Jobs in Fear of Klan.
Some of the Mer Rouge residents
when they learn of the probability
that machinery had been used for the
purpose of torture, assumed immediately
that some special device had
been arranged for the purpose, so
deep was tl}e hatred between the
Klansmen and their slaughtered
neighbors. They are awaiting an
amplifica4 ion of tlie assertions of
State officials that the murder was a
brut/il butchery.
Gradually the results of the K1a?
incursions throurrh Morehouse Parish
')vo being ^een in the economic life
of the people. Factories and industrial
plants through the section are
having much difficulty in retaining
their employees, both white and nr
gro. mnrv of whom live several mile
from their work in small tenan*
houses and fear th.it they will
caught on a lonely roadway by mask
/>cP rtc*uvo?5 and fear that they have
?-1- v^"""se of some mine
violation of the law.
Travoiors Go Armed.
Above everything, the secret dread
of white men operating behind masks,
handed down a generation, is causing
them to drop out of .their work, some
remaining sullenly at home and othersseeking
another section. White resi
dents of Mer Rouge, traveling tb?*
roads at night generally carry firearms
in their, automobiles. Managers
of industrial enterprises are trying to
stop the exodus of help.
On the surface the situation is
quiet. The Klan is not functioning,
constituted government has been restored.
To counteract the impression
that Morehouse Parish is unsafe for
rAxidpntx. Mavor C. J. Goodwin of
Bastrop today issued the following
' statement:
"In behalf of the community of
which I am Mayor, I wish to correct
the false impression the public has
obtained of our home county because
of the outrage last August, which I,
together with 1he people of Bastrop
most vigorously condemn. We hop*
the culprits will be brought to jus
tice.
"Not by way of extenuation, 1 wis*
to say that such an unfortunate incident
should not bring a blanket indictment
of lawlessness upon us.
Defrnds Community.
"I do not quarrel with circumstances
that have focused national at' e^
tion upon Morehouse Parish; that iour
misfortune, unfair as it may be
But we arc not a gun-toting, wild
savage people. We are law-abidin;
