Stapp became notorious in connection. with
the Jesse James gang, and lived at CRANKY,
Mo-. where he kept a saloon. The James
gang had designed to raid the money vaults

A PLANTERS TESTIMONY.
He Says Negroes Made the Best and
Most "roctnbfe Farm Hands.
New York Evening Post.

Recently Mr.. Alfred III. Stone. of Green
vile, Miss, published a paper on the sub
ject OF the negro laboreEs of the Delta, Il
large area Of country at the mouth of the
Mississippi given up chiefly to cotton plant
ing. and in his paper he came TO the conclu-
sion that the black field hand was a failure.
Mr.. Stone therefore advised planters to
substitute for him the thrifty, Industrious
foreigner, such as the Italian, German and
Norwegian. Against this view a protest is
made by Mr.. Hugh Massey, a planter of
Friar's Point, Miss, who SAYS: VERY few
intelligent planters in the Delta, and per-
haps none IN this section, share Mr.. Stones
conclusions. The negro is the most docile
proper management the most contented
profitable. The thriftlessneSs generally as
cribed to the negro laborer is more the fault
of the employer than the labOrer. In the
tivate cotton almost exclusively. No diver
sity of products is encouraged, to say the
least of il, and upon the result Of the cot
ton crop alone must the negro depend.
The negro and his ancestors have been
slaves for centuries, depending entirely
His dependence in a great measure still
exists: and until the planter learns the
important fact that his own prosperity. not
to say salvation, depends upon diversifying
his products, the laborer. like the planter.
will be generally thriftless. Allow and en-
courage the negro tenant to be self-sls-
tanning as far as practicable outside Of
his share of the cotton. and in a little
while he Will approximate the prosperity
OF the Italian tenant. He is at the point
where he requires encouragement and aid
in that direction. The vicious system under
which he has been working for years has
made him dependent in every sense. and
unless abandoned and a better system
inaugurated he will become an utter fail
ure. as Mr.. Stone seems TO regard him
now"
