4 MISSISSIPPI VIEW OF THE RACE PROBLEM.
Atlanta, Ca, sept. % (speciaD-General s. d. Lee,
president Of the Mississippi Agriculture College writes
TO H. W. Grady, of The Constitution concerning
the exodus of North Carolina negroes to Mississippi
lie says he would much prefer that the exodus should
be reversed and proceeds decry the growing genera
ton of negroes as not being equal to generation born
under slavery producers. While admitting the
heavy negro blrthrae, he claims for them a greater
death rate He thinks it will require a vigorous en-
orcement of the law the South to prevent conflicts
between the races, and says: In my Judgment our
statesmen should provide territory in which to
remove and locate the of negro population so
as to remove all fear of negro supremacy even in
localities. This is the inevitable solution of the
question. To this view the South should offer every
nducement TO industrial development, while immi-
grants should be invited AS the white population
increases and the negro dlminishes, the the
solution becomes, until finally the negro Will cease

encouragement given to all who want to try ID

they will have full scope to develop their fitness

the sooner false hopes are thrown aside the better

THE WORK or THE BRITISH SYNDICATE
FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS INVESTED IN AMERl'


FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS INVESTED IN AMEFd'
CAN ENTERPRISES.
Chicago. Sept 2s.-Thc expenditure of $50 100000
by two English syndlcates for the control OF INDUSTRIAL
enterprises in the United States was completed IN TINS
city today. Levy Mayer, a wellknown Chicago
lawyer was of the agents in the great purhase'
and to him was left the matter of making public a
summary Of the transaction, rather the extended
series OF transactions.
4 pair of London corporations headed by the
present Lord Mayor Of London. Sir Henry Isaacs. are
the buyers The syndicates include in their member
ship great number of British bankers
and trustees of largo estates in the
United Kingdom. No business was acquired
for them in the United States which has not paid at
least II IL per cent year for the last five years.
Grain elevators, Touring mills and breweries have
been the favohte investments. The management Of
each of the various enterprises viii be placed In
American boards Of directors subject to the control
OF general board.
Doesn't this tend TO the establishment Of a huge
British trust" Mr. Mayor asked this evening
"Oh no. said he. there is no combination. Each
enterprise is operated separately and distinctly The
plan is not one Of aggression, but Of conservative,
sure investments.
Hostile legislation II is learned, has been cleverly
evaded The alien law OF Illinois, for example, pro
hibits any sale OF real estate 10 foreigners IL was
designed to prevent the requirement OF farms in
Illinois by certain British landlord, for rack
rontingn purposes. The syndicate got around this
statute by having the ownership of necessary real
estate Incorporated, and then acquiring the stock Of
the company, which, legally, is personal, not real,
property.
The deal embraces chain OF elevators from tho
Minnesota and Dakota wheat districts 70 Chicago.

Both are reputed TO be among the most solid Of
British institutions. Lord Mayor Isaacs is prcsi

corroN-sEEp MEAL FOR cows.

The agricultural department at Wash
ington has been making an analysis of
butter from COWS fed on cotton seed meal,
which produces unlocked for results. The
analysis showed remarkable points: 1. A
low percentage of vegetable acids. 2. A
phenomenally high melting point. 3. A
strong persistence of the reducing agent.
The first point is of Importance as show
ing that mixing cotton seed with the feed
OF cows in the South will tend to raise
the melting point of butter, thus render
ing it more suitable for consumption in
hot climates. Professor Wiley says:
From an analytic point of view the re-
suits are of great importance, since they
show that butter derived from COW fed
on cotton seed meal might be condemned
as adulterated when judged by the amount
OF volatile acids present. Since cotton
seed meal is destined to be cattle food
of great importance, especially in the
southern part of the United States, this
is fact of the greatest interest. Chi
