Mr.. Cox employed one negro dur
ing the year at a cost Of Sos, outside
OF his board. He compounded his
own fertilizer and used five tons Of
cotton seed meal, acid and kainit, at
a cost of SO.
Some of the land he worked had
been brought up to high state Of
cultivation previously. but most OF
it was ordinary poor land. He made
Slo8.6o on one. acre, the yield being
three one horse loads of onions and
7o7 pounds OF lint cotton. Mr.. Cox
planted the onions early in the spring,
sowing them in rows five feet apart,
and later planted cotton between the
onions. The onions natured and

BOERS STILL PRISONERS.
Stubborn Patriots Who Refuse to
Take Oath of Allegiance.
Boston Transcript.

Boston Transcript.
! 1t IS now two years since the boeT
war ended. The world has been OF
! the impression that the rancor OF
that conflict had largely disappeared.
England has announced the success
sive steps OF large schemes OF repat-
ration and the world has given her
credit OF playing in all respects the
part OF generous conqueror. Even
Colonel Lynch, who stirred the hero
est resentment of the English people,
has. it is said, through the social in
huence of Sir Thomas Upton with the
king, been set free. One would eS-
pect this to be the last act o! pardon,
the very end of the passion OF ln.ein-
perate resentment which England
could not hip but feel for an enemy
which had to bear not only the eN-
pected punishment Of the conquered.
but the added rancor which came OF
England's realization Of her own
army's incompetency, and OF tie ta>t
that the overwhelming sympathy Of
the world was with he: snail
antagonist.
1t is surprising therefore, at this
late date to receive an appeal from
;orty-three Boer prisoners WHO are
still detained on the Burmuda Is
lands. under circumstances which
one hopes the British government
may be able to present in better
light than does their appeal. These
prisoners are not criminals. They
are not OF those Dutch subjects OF
England who joined their brothers
in the Transvaal and whom England
;, saw fit to treat as traitors. They are
not among those whom the English
excluded from the general amnesty
because OF alleged breaches Of war.
They are Boer soldiers whose status
differs in no way from that Of the
1000 others who were captured with
Cronje at the Modder river.
Their troubles are due solely to
their refusals to take the oath OF al
Ilegiance to Great Britain. This. one
feels, is hardly Justification for their
detention. One does not like the
spectacle OF conquering nation forc-
ing an oa;n OF allegiance down the
throats of the conquered. Such an
oath might we'll be made condl-
tion of participation in the new gov
ernment OF the Transvaal. But these
Beers do not wish, according to their
appeal. to return to the Transvaal
They do not wish to become subjects
of the king. They desire nothing
more than to be released, when they
will proceed to the United States or
elsewhere to settle. 1t ought not
to require exceptional generosity for
England to permit this. The United
States put no stone in the path OF
the vice president of the Confederacy,
Judah B. Benjamin. who preferred
not to remain in his home under a
flag which he had fought against, and
as voluntary exile rose to eminence
in the London bar.
There were at one time some 5000
Boer prisoners of war on the Bur;:luda
islands. At the close OF the war Of
fcers of the British army appeared at
Burmuda and presented the oath Of
allegiance. This, nearly all the Beers,
with the advice Of thier leaders, &C
cepted. Those who signed the oath
were taken back to their homes on
British warships, at the expense OF
the British government. But the
forty three who now make the ap-
peal. refuse to swear.
