Laurel, Del., April 2.?About 10 o'clock Saturday night a mob of arm- j ed negroes swooped down on a crowd Of spectators in the main thoroughfare of the town and tired a volley of bul- j lets and buckshot into the crowd. Orem Stockley, IS years old. son of; a farmer living near Laurel, fell to j tho ground, shot through the head. He was taken to a hospital in Sails- i bury, Md.. where he died today. Goo. Hudson, ?0 years of age. a white man of Bethel, was shot in the ! leg, necessitating amputation, and John Thompson, a white barber, was \ sh <t in both lcj;s. Other white men \ received minor injuries. , It is known! that severul negroes wore injured, but they cannot be located. Officers were unable to cope with the mob and there was a fierce strug gle between the two races until 3 o'clock thia morning. Windows were shattered and the exterior of buildings was greatly damaged. Today when it was learned that young Stockley had died, a mob of white men armed themselves and en-; tered the colored section nnd raided the bouse which was said to be the headquarters of the negro rioters. Sev eral negroes were arrested. Karl Richards, a 15-year-old white hoy. stole his father's revolver and captured Geo. Wright, a negro, for I whom the authorities have been look ing for over a year. Richards com pelled the negro to hold up his hands j until the officers arrived. Wright is j \ said to In- wanted in Virginia tor the: alleged murder of a white boy.

H. & M, L, Laurens; j. \\\ Copelaud ,v < o, '"'Un ion How to Make Cotton a Rent Kim:. Cotton is tlu? greatest crop of the South and must remain so. It is u definitely assured fact now that the Coining of the boll weevil, while it means eases a great change In meth ods, will not stop the raising of cot ton. Diversified fanning must follow in tile wake of the weevil, and should precede it in the sections not yet in fested; but diversified farming in the South means, not less cotton, but more - a smaller acreage to be sure, hut a much larger yield per acre and a gradually increasing total crop. We have said before, and we belli \*' it still, that cotton is the greatest mon ey crop in the world, and we have al so said, and still believe, that when the fanners of the South once realiz ? the possibilities of this crop when properly grown, the Cotton Melt will become the richest agricultural sec lion of America. Before this can come to pass, though, there must he some radical changes from the methods of fanning now in general use. Not only must the one-crop system he abandoned, suitable rotation adopted and more live stock raised, hut there must be much better methods of handling the COttOtl Crop itself. Tin-re is a widely prevalent idea that the average South ern fanner knows all there is to learn about cotton growing; hut one may well doubt if the facts in the case sustain this view. The average cot ton crop Is not a profitable crop; and the im ease in the average aci'0-yl Id of cotton in the last fifteen years has been only :i.s per cent. Almost every other crop in tin- South makes a bet ter showing. 'I'he Poll weevil accounts for SOIUO of this, it is true, hut in States not yet reached by the weevil, tin average yield has Increased very little. More to Maine than the boll weevil is the old notion thai cotton will grow anywhere and that anybody can grow cotton. Haven't we believed that the negro, with one scrubby mule, an excuse for a turning plow and a sweep or two that any negro thus equipped ami with just enough In telligence to scatter the seed in a furrow, chop the plants to a stand, and run around the rows was full}' competent to make a Crop of cotton Have we not said that the negro couldn't loaril to handle Improver] ma chinery and was unlit to work any animal ejcepl a muh-, and so made practically no efforts to teach him bet ter methods of farming, hut allowed him to go on ruining the land with his slipshod methods, raising little crops of cotton at great expense? Then lias not this cotton boeil forced on the market in the fall and so help ed to depress the prices of the entire crop? All iIiis must be changed. We have no patience, in th ? first place, w ith the Idea that tin- negro- the average ne gro, on the Southern farm can not he (aught to handle bettor stock ami more complicated machinery.
