rope. Some people tuln up their
noses at foreigners, but the ances-
tors of all white Americans were
foreigners, including those of
these very people who sneer at
such suggestion.
Mr.. Williams indulged some
good -natured sarcasm at the ex-
pense of people who make pro-
claim SO loudly their Anglo Saxon
blood, saying the only pure
Anglo Saxons in this country are
the people who come from Nor
way, Sweden and Denmark
and their direct descendants.
He spoke in highest commenda
tion of real Italian immigrants
not Sicilians or dagoes who have
been tested with good results as
farm laborers in the Delta. Side
by side on the same farm, they
excel the negroes as farmers and
gardeners. Immigration of this
class must eventually supplant the
negro as farm laborer in the
South. Already the negro is
drifting from the farms and plan-
tations into railroad and levy
building, mining camps, ETC.,
where muscle with a boss to di-
rect it, is the chief qualification
for laborer; but, as a race, he
cannot be depended upon to de
velop the South agriculturally. By
his going and his diffusion into
other sections of the Union, the
South will be relieved of large
numbers and the negro cease to be
a troublesome political or social
factor in any particular section.

DlVERSlFICATION, INFUSION AND DIFF
FUSION.

This was the gist of the very
able, instructive and entertaining
two hours speech of Hon. John
Sharp Williams to the people of
5 Lincoln county at the Court
House Monday -diyersification
of farm products and Southern
industries; the infusion of white
immigration from the North and
West and Europe into the South,
and the gradual diffusion of our
negro population, who are less
suited than white men to GO for
ward in the march of progress,
into other. portions of the Union,
and at the same time simplify the
race problem, which will then no
longer be standing menace or
serious hindrance to any portion
of the country.
Mr.. Williams began his speech
by adverting to the condition the
cotton market was in, with a mil
lion and half bales surplus in
sight, when the Cotton Conyen-
tion was called at New Orleans,
and pointed out the great work
done by the Cotton Association
and cotton farmers in arresting a
further decline in the market, not
withstanding this large surplus,
and preventing protracted busi-
ness stagnation and depression in
all lines.
Some people had laughed at the
suggestion that the farmers could
be influenced to organize and CO.
operate-the real meaning of the.
laugh was that farmers are too
big fools to know their own inter.
est: but these laughing people
now realize their mistake. By
organization and cooperation,
with the aid of Providence in
controlling the season, the price
of cotton had not only ceased to
fall and go to 5 cents as many
bears predicted, but it had, with
slight fluctuations, steadily adj
vanced in the face of this large
surplus something unknown in
the history of the commercial
world.
The cotton farmers of the South
have demonstrated their intelli-
gence and their capacity to under
stand and meet crisis in their
affairs, and they now command
the respect of the civilized world
as never before. Had they failed
to respond in this crisis, conf
dence in their ability to organize
and cooperate for self protection,
would have been destroyed for
ever.
Mr.. Williams address from be-
ginning to end was embellished
with Jewels OF thought, saIlies Of
wit and homely yet pungent
truths, which proved him to be a
statesman of the profoundest
thought, ripest scholarship and
truest patriotism.
DiversifcatIon is the policy for
the South diversifcation of
crops, diyersifcation of industries
education of the masses. Cotton
is King and will continue to be
King, because by the favor of
Providence, the South has practi-
cally a monopoly over the world
in its production, but intelligence
and business sense must guide
Southern farmers IN its produc-
tion and marketing, so that it can
be raised at fair profit and not
at a loss.
incidentally Mr.. Williams dis
cussed the race question and ar
gued from weIl-laid premises, that
The negro could not be depended
upon to develop the agricultural
and manufacturing industries of
the South to their greatest posi-
bilities. He lacked initiative.
He had never in the history of the
world built up a great government
or a great civilization. God did
not create him that way and it.
