Advertise Your Lands.

A propos of the stream of immigra-
ton which has the Southern States for
it's objective point, the following, from
a recent issGe of the Iberville South,
ought to attract more attention than if
laid before our readers previous to the
election. Referring to a large body OF
rich but idle land in its parish, it says
If the people who own these lands,
and who have been made land poor by
heir apathy and Indifference, would
only advertise them and tell of one
half of their capabilities, their condition
would soon chlnge for the better,
Instead of IA population of 10000,
this parish ought to support, with ease
and plenty, $4,000 people. Instead Of
rating our property at S2,400, 900, il
would be rated at $1O,000,00O and all
this too by assessing property at one
third of its Y7al value, as is the custom
in most parts of the State. And instead
Of raising the tax ten mills on the dol
lar for all parish purposes, three mills
would suffice.
IF some of the land owners would
bother themselves sufficiently about
enhancing the value of their property
and thereby lessen the poorly paid bur-
dens Of the newspaper man, who is only
engaged In a labor of love when be
adyeltises, at his own cost. the salubri-
ty of our climate and the fertility Of
unsold lands, there would soon be a
change for the better in our material
condition that would cause the very
moss to leave the backs Of our fossils.

For Southern Education.
N. o. Times-Democrat.

N. o. Times-Democrat.
Mr.. Peabody gave $5,5OO,OOO to ad-
vance Southern education. Mr.. John
F. Slater gave 81 600, 900 for the educa-
ton of the Southern negroes IN 1864;
and Mr.. Daniel Hand now gives Sl,OOO-
OOO. There is an element OF romance
about this last donation which a be
VOL recalled to the credit Of all on
cerned ia it. Mr.. Hand was a Charles
ton grocer at the outbreak of the civil
a who fed to the North on account
of his Union sentiments. His property,
valued at $4,000. was left with Geo.
w. Williams, his confidential clerk.
Mr.. Hand did not demand a settlement
until 1882. Williams had husbanded
the property with great wisdom, and a
settlement was effected by which the
original sum, with interest, was to be
surrendered to Hand. The last install
ment upon the amount. was paid two
years ago, making a total of 1916 600.
| Thus but a comparatively small sum
was drawn from Mr.. Hands private
fortune to make up the 81, ZOO, 900 gift,
| which he has just made. The condi-
tlODS Wposc upon oho ooSoSloeioh
having charge of the Hand fund are
that the interest only is to be used,
that not more than 500 is to be ex-
pended upon one colored person, and
that the benefciaries shall be in needy
circumstances and show evidences OF
efficiency and usefulness.
These donations have done much
good and greatly assisted the South
ern eseople in their war on illiteracy;
but they fall far short Of what is need
ed. They are but a glass of water
geveu to thousands dying of thirst. ' :
The Southern whites contribute each
wear in taxes twelve times as much as
the entire revenue from the several
Peabody, Slater and Hand funds. y ' =
The Southern people have done all
in their power to rid their section Of
illiteracy, but the wealth of the South
to-day is not equal to SO gigantic a
task, whatever it may be twenty years
from now. A few philanthropists il
the North are helping US in this good
work but it will require many Pea
bodys, Skaters and Hands to produce
any. serious impression on the millionl
of illiterates in the South, white and
black.
