Prosperous Negro Farmers.

It is stated that in Talladega county there is negro farmer who rents land from a white landlord, and who this year began work owing $500. That from the proceeds of his farm work this negro has paid his rent, paid the $500 and has money in bank to his credit.
 That negro is not a politician. He doubtless pays his taxes-in fact that is as certain as death. It is also doubtless true that his children, if he has any, are at school, and that the schooling of those children costs two, three or four times the amount of taxes he pays the county and the state, the balance of the burden being borne by the white landowner; borne willingly, too, for the white people of Alabama vote the school tax upon themselves each and every time the question is submitted.
 Now the thought of inducing an en- ergetic, law-abidng negro of Alabama to forsake the farm and leave in colonization scheme for the north west or for any other part of the hab- itable globe, is preposterous. He will not do so. He knows exactly where he belongs, and that in the south his efforts for good are always encouraged by the best element of the whites.
