Gov. Lowry then delivered a
fitting and sensible address as fol.
lows:
He said that he had the honor
last year at Jackson of opening
the first fair ever gotten M by
the colored people of this State.
lie had also opened the last State
fair held by the white people, aud
he had no hesitation in saying the
colored fair was the better Of the
two. II has been said that the
colored people are not advancing
In intelligence aud the ownership
ofproperiy. The assessment rolls
Of the Southern States showed
that this race, which only began
the battle Of life a quarter of a
century ago, owned not thousands
but millions Of dollars of real es
tate, aud such an enterprise az
this fair was a convincing prooI
Of their intelligence. He said the
exhibits here presented would be
a credit TO any race, aud advised
them to encourage these fairs fol
agricultural purposes. DO not
as the white people have too offer
done, permit them to degenerate
iu,o horse races.
| He then spoke Of the improve
ments ia agricultural appliances
and urged them to use their sur
plus cotton seed 10 fertilize th,
soil instead of selling II for tb,
small prices offered for 1t. III
said farmer in Holmes count,
last year used 100 bushels of cot
ton seed to the acre, aud mad
ll40 bushels of corn on l2 acre
Of hill land. Another farmer use,
20 bushels Of cotton seed to th,
acre, aud raised so bushels Of corr
to the acre on land that had tn
previous year ouly yielded abou
26 bushels. With cotton see,
worth only . cents a bushel, an
J corn worth 30 cents a bushel,
