Two negtoes 'were hanged in
Stalksville,‘ Miss, the other day The
circumstances of their execution
1‘ have been made the ground of some
.. criticism. _
V The occasion seems to have been
shade the excuse for a communityi
holiday. The gallows was set up in.
a public place, in a sort of natural
4 ,4amphltheatre. A great crowd assem-
bled early in the morning and re-
mained all- day. The local merchants
"ad increased the size of the assem-
y ”blue by clever advertising. and ben
‘" elited accordingly. It happens that a
,. hot campaign is in progress in Miss i

Ribs opportunity to address the throng

One of the negroes confessed to
his crime—killing a railroad porter—-

trap was sprung, the picnic ended!
‘ and ,the thousands went quietly to
I their homes.
' 'Now, that may not be exactly an
ideal way to execute murderers, at
least from a northern or westernV:_

anfielicate sensibilities. And yet, '
.to any one whoobserved that on
tits same day two negroes were lynch~
‘ed in‘Sawenee. Okla. and another in

MULTIPLYING PRICES.
The New York Sun, after an invol-
tigation of the form produce situav
tion around the Metropolis, reports
that vegetables are more plentiful
and chirp than :they have been for
lmany years, but it isn't doing the
consumer any good.
Potatoes, tor example, which were
selling at $4.25 a barrel wholesale a
are now $1. 00 a barrel. But
retailed in small quantities, they
cost $8 to» $10 a barrel. The New
Jersey producer is, only getting 8a
cents a barrel for them. Onions.
which brought :3 a bushel wholesale
last year, have been. quoted at 25
cents a 111.191.1111: the housewife
doesut pay any less. Tomatoes sell
at 25 to 75 cents a crate, and the cou-
sumer pays ten cents for four as
Neither the producer nor,tbe con-
sumer is getting the benefit of the ‘
gabundant supply. Vast quantities! of
vegetables are left to rot in the gar-
dens, or are fed to farm animals,
while tens of thousands of families
are pinched for lack of them. . '
Of course, the evil is seen at‘its
worst in New York. where the mid-
dlemen have a stronger grip on the
market than anywhere else. There
are few facilities there for the farm-
er and gardener to reach the buying
public directly,- and the public itself
encourages high prices by buying in
small quantities.V The final post
would improve the situation. but it
makes slow headway against the in-
ertia of custom. :’
In smaller communities, more dir~
ectly in touch with farms and truck
gardens, housewives are not so help-
less, prices are more reasonable, and
the producer gets a~ fair-er" share of
the pront. not, still were is room
for improvement goverywhere. The
equitable distribution of food ‘pro
ducts is the biggest economic prob-
