We have heard it said, by not a
few proprietors, that their negro ten
ants are habitually honest and
prompt in the payment OF their dues,
while the reverse was true of white
renters OF land. This is greatly to
the credit OF the colored man, and
rather to the discredit of the white
tenant. We are told that much
progress has been made in some
neighboring counties by colored far
mers established upon large planta-
tions, owned by white men OF hui

tenants with advice, and, when
needed, money. These colored PEG.
