THE PLANTERS MEETING.

The Planters meeting was largely
attended last Tuesday; they went in
session promptly at one O'Clock. Col.
j. A. Buckner in the chair.
Their first work was to adopt a
Constitution and a set of Bylaws
prepared by committee, of which
Hon. j. e. Ransdell was the Chairman.
Their Constitution and Bylaws differ
in nowise from any other instrument
of that kind; only these special
features are to be noted, that the mem
bers are to be only morally bound 10
observe the rules and regulations, that
they are to meet every other month
on the first Tuesday of the month, and
that an assessment of so cents may be
levied on all members, provided, how
ever, that not more than six assessments
are levied in one year.
After the adoption of the Constitu-
ton, the motion to reduce the assess
ment of lands, referred to in another
column, was unanimously adopted.
Then the scale ofwages for 1895 was
adopted after a great deal of discus
sion, and is as follows: The maximum
price to be paid for day-labor during
the year 1895 shall be 60 cents for
men, and 40 cents for women, the
labor TO be graded by the planter, &C.
cording to its just value.
The Planters then adjourned to
meet again on the first Tuesday Of
February.

THE FOUR SIS.

Written for the Ranner-Democrat.
Everybody has his cross, for no
person IS free from trial.
In four ways are men tested-by'
scarcity, by sickness, by sorrow, BY
shame.
Poverty is the least of The troubles
whereby men are afflicted, so that
those who are not rich may console
themselves with the thought that they
have less to bear than others who
have more Of this.world's goods, but
who have TO endure harder Woes than
those of want; and they may also hum
BILE themselves with the reflection that
God has pity on their weakness and
gave them the least difficult road TO
Heaven, knowing that their strength
would not have held out if they had
been forced to travel the rougher
ways.
Sickness is the next trouble that is
most easily borne yet that often taxes
the patience and sometimes gets the
better of the peace and resignation of
those to whom it is allotted.
Sorrow is one of the seyerest tests
of virtue. 1t embraces such Affections
as family troubles, the hatred OF
enemies, the misunderstanding Of
| friends, the loss of relatives. 1t bruises
the heart of those whose por-
ton it is. Often their confidence in
God is put painful struggle to main
tain itselfi 10 the midst of their grief.
But the harder the cross, the brighter
the crown.
| Most painful Of all is shame, and
sometimes it happens that the best
Christians are put to this ordeal.
Occasionally, in home that seems to
be blessed by grace, the husband or
the wife will turn out a scandal, son
will become dissipated or dishonest, a
daughter will. go wayward-aEd the
souls of their nearest and dearest will
be bowed down in anguish. They will
be mortified that one of theirs should
go to the bad. They will suffer for
his or her sins. They may be tempted
to wonder aud murder at the coming
OF such ignominy upon them. They
may be inclined to be rebellious OF the
lreproach brought to the family name
! by the wickedness of the guilty one.
They have the hardest trial of all.
/ God knows best what is good for
fus and what will tend to our sactifica-
ton. Whatever he permits may be
turned to good. The saints used
scarcity, sickness, sorrow and shame
to strengthen their virtues and TO in
crease their reward. Those who are
wise, will do likewise.

THE REDUCTION OF DAY-LABOR
WAGES.

The reduction of day-labor wages
agreed upon by the Planters in their
meeting of last Tuesday should be no
surprise to the colored people. When
cotton sold for 10 and IL cents pound,
tho planter could well afford to give
75 cents day for hands 10 work in
his crop, but now that cotton has
fallen down to A, 5, and 6 cents
pound, half of what it sold for several
years ago, it is no more than just that
wages should be also cut down.
This movement was not started by
the East Carroll planters in the neigh
boring parishes and different counties
of Mississippi, 60 cents and even 90
cents a day for men, and 80 and So
cents day for women have been, this
year, the average price paid for labor.
In some counties of Mississippi, they
even paid this summer for picking cot
ton only 80 cents hundred, and of that
amount Is cents were to be paid cash,
and Is cents to be taken in trade.
From this, one may easily realize that
labor is not any worse here than else
where, aud we would say it is even
better.
The colored man should take in con-
sideration also that everything has
been much reduced in price, that flour
is cheaper than it ever was, that one
dollar will buy more goods now than
three dollars did six years ago, when
cotton sold at 10 and IL cents a pound
and he got only rs cents day for his
wages, and that, even if he gets only
60 cents day for his labor, he can
get along as well. if not better, now
than he did six years ago, when he got
IS cents.
1t would be well for the colored
man to go to some city and see the
day-laborer working there at 20 cents
a day and judge for himself how poorly
he gets along with it, how near starva-
ton he is at all times, having to pay
rent, buy wood, provisions and cloth
ing out of that. Here, the colored
man may not get quite as much wages,
but he has no rent to pay on the plan
tation, he has all the wood he can burn
a garden patch to raise vegetables; he
may have COW, raise pig, and all
told, his condition is much better than
that of the day-laborer working in the
city.
Times are hard everywhere, else.
where even more than here let the
colored man do everything he can te
help to support himself and his family
and thus weather out the storm thai
is now beating upon US.

MAKE SOME DISPOSITION or THE
JAILBIRDS.


The President Of the Police Jury,
Mr.. P. d. Quays. attended the Plant
ers meeting on Tuesday last. and en-
deavored to have the sense of the
meeting on what should be done By
the Police Jury with the convicts SER
wing their time in the parish Jail. The
President of the Planters meeting
kindly asked the gentlemen present for
expressions of their opinions. but no
one seemed to take any interest or be
ready to offer any suggestions in the
matter.
When it is considered that, of
all the items of expenses of the
parish mentioned in the budget fixed
on July 18th last, for the year 1895,
the Jail Fees'' item is the highest
of all, $500. and when it is consid-
cred, besides, that the Planters meet
ing was unanimous in demanding re-
duction of the taxes, we were surprised
that they did not seize that opportuni-
ty of cutting down the parish's ex-
penses in its biggest item, and thus
much reduce the taxes.
But no, no interest was taken in the
matter, and Mr.. Quays and the Police
Jury were left to decide the matter as
best they could.
Other Police Juries have taken steps
in this matter. and it is high time for
the Police Jury of East Carroll parish
to make some arrangements SO as to
stop paying board to Sheriff Dunn at
the rate of 40 cents day, for every
man who has chosen to misbehave in
the parish.
Madison parish bought, two weeks
ago, for So, 900, the DeMoss plantation
to be used as a paupers' and convicts'
farm. 1t is useless for us, in the de-
pleted condition of our treasury, to
think of buying anything; some Other
provisions must be made.
The Police Jury of Tensas adver.
tised, and was to have received bids
last Saturday for the hiring of the par.
Iish convicts, and we give below a part
of their advertisement, thinking that il
may be of some use to our Police Jury
After stating that the contract shall
be awarded to the highest bidder, they
say:
| Under said act, (Aet 20 of the Gen
eral Assembly of 1894) convicts are
divided into two classes. First class
males over eighteen and under fifty
years of age; second class, all Other
convicts, and the wages of conyicts
of the first class are fixed at between
five and fifteen dollars per month, and
of conviets of the second class, at be-
tween two and ten dollars per month
Bidders should indicate in their propo.
sails the amount bid for the respective
classes of convicts.
The contracts awarded by the Police
Jury shall be subject to such rules and
regulations for the working. guarding
and safe-keeplng, clothing, housing
sustenance of convicts and for theil
dlscip pline when idle or refractory, a!
the said Police Jury may from time te
time adopt.
Let something be done at once ane
stop the leak in the parish treasury
We cannot afford to pay the board 0

living.

The monotony Of the Sunday even
ing drill of the East Carroll Guards
was relieved last Sunday by sudden
onslaught on their Armory. For a
little while, there was confusion,
uproar and turmoil; some of the
guards fed across the street, some re-
treated in the backroom, but they soon
rallied, however, around Colorbearer
Deeson who never left his post and
thus saved the honor Of the Company.
The onslaught proved to be . joust,
which ended in triangular duel, with
the enemy biting the dust. Peace was
soon restored. Next day his Honor
distributed the reward of merit, $5
and costs.
