only over the state cf Texas but
over all the states had prevented
me from doing so.
I was indeed glad when I read
in The on the 16th of
April your views in regard to our
jury system, that reforms were
badly needed.
It is high time that the present
system, when one man so to say,
can hang a jury, should be done
away with. I think we ought to
adopt the jury system of our neigh-
republic, Mexico. When in
1824 Mexico became independent,
the constitution of that country was
modeled after the U. S. constitution,
adopting only those laws which are
good, just, reasonable, and avoid-
whatsoever could conflict.
In case of crimes the
is not allowed to have a special
of a hundred and even more
called in and even then it is hard
to get a full number of jurors; no,
there in Mexico the can-
not have more than men called,
of these he may reject and not
more; the other will have to act as
jurors in his case. five of the
find him guilty, sentence will be
pronounced, but in this case the
will have a right to
appeal to a higher court. But
should all nine agree and find him
guilty. is no appeal to a high-
court; sentence is pronounced
and carried out. The criminal is
not fed u the costs of tax payers
for weeks, yea months. The pun-
takes place shortly after
sentence is pronounced. Nor is the
condemned criminal, if death pen-
is the result, honored with a
new suit of clothes, nor treated to
fine cigars, and savory meals. He
is not hung by his neck
but taken out into the prison yard
and shot by a detachment of
soldiers. Civil cases are decided in
the same way by jury.
Further must give my

people of Greenville- that they have
done away with business,
that a dispensary has been
created in lieu of But
it will stop drunkenness,
I greatly doubt. We have in Texas
prohibition in than half of
of the state, and in
prohibition counties and local op-
towns there is more drinking
done, more people are drank on the
streets than where saloons are
by law.
Prohibition does not pt a stop to
drinking, it creates hypocrites.
Let go for instance So Kansas.
Ins pi t of all prohibition yon find
there railroad towns a number of
saloons in violation of the law, as I
have seen lately during a trip
through that state. Reform is need-
ed, bat it must begin at home.
Father and mother mast set the
the noble example what can
be expected of a son, when the moth
is given to secret drinking.
Besides, the tobacco it plug
smoking tobacco or cigars,
will as a general thing also have a
strong desire for liquors of any kind.
For part I rather would like to
see all traffic in liquors stopped, if
it were possible, but people have
always used strong drinks and
ways will use them. Most of our
men and women are slaves of one or
other vices. Not only men
should reform, giving up drinking,
but also women should reform of
habits which are not only injurious to
health, but at the same time the
ones, I mean snuff dipping etc.

A Farmer Plants No Corn.
Some days we heard a man
who is much interested in Tanning
and who gives some of his personal
attention to a farm nay that he had
not planted a grain of com this
year. He is taking the risk of
his other crops, truck, cotton,
peanuts and the like to bring money
enough to enable him to buy his
corn cheaper than he could raise it.
From pretty close observation of
the thrifty farmers of the community
and from some study of the condition
of agriculture, we are impelled to
say that our friend has made a mis-
take, and we believe he will find it
so. We believe that whatever the
price of cotton peanuts, it pays
a farmer to raise his home supplies
at least enough to feed his team.
Buying corn, hay and other food for
farm team puts one to a
all the time; and the farmer
who operates that system will
find in the end he would have
done if he had raised his own
corn, fodder and hay at home. The
Common wealth has for years insist
e i on the home supply system of
farming and . still believes in it
and still insists en it. When farmers
have necessary supplies at home,
