Gigantic Lying.

We are in receipt of copy of the
Advocate, a paper published ut
LeavenwOrth, Kansas, by negroes,
and claiming to be ''the organ of the
colored people of Kansas and the
Southwest" The editor says he has
lately been on trip through the
South taking in the States of Ken
lucky, Tennessee, Mississippi and
Louisiana, and in an article treating
on the colorcd man from Il laboring
standpoint in these States, says:
He, as a rule, is, willing and faith
full laborcr, but for whom and in
whose cotton or rice field does he la
Dor! On nine ont Of ten, he is working
the white mans plantation where he
was formerly held as slave; rcceiv-
ing no higher wages for working from
sun up until shutdown, than twenty
five cents per day, which amounts to
$3.50 per month.
Those of our people who do not care
to work by the day in the fields of
others, are allowed to rent few
acres of that poor blood red land, the
soil of which is so very poor that
black eye peas will hesitate to grow
therein, for which they pay the
enormous sum of $l5 to $40 per acre,
The entire article, which is some
thing over a column in length, is fill
ed with similar unblushing lies and
INTERPRETATIONS. 1t is no wonder
that people of the North, who do
not know the facts, seeing such state
ments as these, should be filled with
prejudice against the South.
In separate article, published in
different column, the editor pays
BrOokhaven the following exceptional
compliment
We wish that the colOrcd people
throughout the State of Mississippi
were as uniformly we'll treated by
the white people, as they are in
Brookhaven, Lincoln county, tor
there they live agreeably together;
and when cOlOred man is employed
to labor by white person, he is paid
for his services; besides it is one Of the
few cities in the State where a cOlOred .
man can hold an elective office. We
formed the acquaintance Of one Sta .
ten Baker, Il colored gentleman who
is Alderman for the city Of Brook :
haven. We wish that we could say
as much for the rest of the State.
While approaching that orr partic /.
ular locality was made an exception
to the Wholesale misrepresentation of
the South, we must be permitted to
say that if the constituencies scribbler
of the Advocate had had proper re-
gard for the truth, he could have said
"as much for the rest of the State"
except that there are few towns and
counties that elect colored officials.
