A BIG STALK OF COTTON.

stalk Of Allen Hybrid cotton containing
OK matnred bolls, one pen boil, 3 blooms. 81
squares and measuring Z feet and 3 inches
high has been on exhibition at the Enter
prlse office this week. 1t was grown on Sheriff
], L. Haley's Itta Bena plantation. which is
managed by Mr.. T. P. Rozier, and is a fair
sample of the best Delta cotton crop this
wear. Ordinarily a giant stalk like this
would yield at least a third more fruit, but
the rainy spring and summer seasons run it
mostly to eed.-Greenwood Enterprise.
That's a pretty good cotton story,
but we can match it with a big bean
pod. There was recently brought to
this office a pod, picked from a com
mon bean stalk, which measured "
inches in length and contained 46 we'll
developed beans. 1t was raised by
John Elliott, the we'll known colored
truck raiser, and beats the best bean
record on earth.

sus returns, says:
Next comes Indianapolis, which is but a
few hours away from the great lakes by
railroad, and can ascribe its growth direct
ly to the traffic it's neighboring cities on the
shores of the inland seas give it.
For unadulterated cheek, this should
take the blue ribbon. Indianapolis owes
nothing to the cities on the inland seas. In
fact, it would continue to flourish if Chi
cago were not within one thousand miles.
Indianapolis owes its prosperity to its own
manufactures. its central location, the gas
and oil fields, the railways and it's desira-
bility as a residence city. 1t reflects no
glory from the windy city; on the contrary.
Chicago is constantly drawing both pros
perity and people from Indiana.

BOOKER II. wAsHINGTON's HUMoR.

Prof. Booker T. Washington has a ma
tional reputation as an eloquent orator and
the greatest educator of his race. but, as
far as known. he has not made a public
revelation OF the humorous side of his
character previous to his address in this
city. In the course of this address, the
general tone of which was high and ear
nest. he introduced two little Stories" as
Mr.. Lincoln used to say, which, besides
being entirely new. at least in this section
of the country, were wonderfully apt as
illustrations OF his argument. We quote
from the Journals report:
In discussing the problem Of WHISTLER the
white people of the North or those of the
South are responsible for the Introduction
of the African race into American slavery,
he told a story of colored man named
''Zeke," who sold pig to a white man
one morning at certain hour. The pig
ran away, and, being caught again by
Zeke, was again sold TO another white man.
The operation was repeated still another
time When the white men came to
''Zeke's" cabin and asked him for an ex-
PLANTATION. and also to whom the animal
''Fo' God. can't you white folks go off
somewhat and settled dat question among
yourselves?" Another story was told to i'm
press upon the CoiOrtu ptcplc tue ldCl tndt
they must acquire means. This was the
story of a colored ferry-boat operator who
refused TO loan white man the money to
pay his transportation across the river, on
the ground. as he expressed it. that "a
white man who amt got the price OF a ride
over de ribber Is just as well off on dis side
as on de odder.
Professional story teliers will appreciate
these strictly new additions to the common
stock. Chauncey NJ Depew In his MANIFEST
banQueting mood. never related anything
more quantity humorous or more illustra-
tive of an argument And they possess
additional merit and flavor because they
arc related by a colorcd man about coIored
men, and in both cases make the white
race the butt of the joke. The controversy
that ragged for generations before the civil
war as to whether Northern Yankees or
Southern shareholders were most respon-
sible for the introduction OF the African
posed Of by Uncle Zeke's advice to the
numerous purchasers OF his elusive pig.
that 'you white folks go off somewhat and
settled dat question among yourselves"
And what could be more illustrative of the
thrifty character OF some negroes and the
shiftlessness Of some poor whites than the
contemptuous remark OF the co,ored ferry
man. who refused to loan a white man
money to pay for his transportation across
a river. that +" a white man who amt got
the price of ride over de ribber IL 5es as
well on on dis side as on de odder." These
