A Negroes View of the Cotton Farmers
and Business Mems Association.

Messrs. Editors: Perhaps we are
discussing a lost cause, but our sub
ject is of such vital Importance we
should like for our brother planters
to know of the anxiety and thoughts
of colored cotton growers. We think
1T very unfortunate for the organiza-
ton that the planters of this and
other Southern States have allowed
the color line to be drawn in this
most important question where the
colored planter plays such a conspi-
cuous part. We may draw the color
line in politics, on railroads, and in
our churches and pulpits. We can
discriminate in labor unions, apPro-
priation of the school fund, jury list,
ETC., but when it comes to agricul-
ture, the negro planter is a factor to
be reckoned with.
When this subject was first agita-
ted we, in this as in all other mat
tiers that oncern our States we'll
being, stood ready to sacrifice our
selves on our cOuntry's altar. We
felt this was a matter which affected
all of us alike. We felt that our in

Reduce Cotton Acreage to So Much Per
Horse.

Messrs. Editors: Here is something
to be considered at each county and
State meeting of the Cotton Farm
ers' and Business Mems Associations
soon to be held In the South. In or
der to equalize the reduction in
acreage of cotton, let each man
pledge to plant not above a certain
number of acres to tie horse, say
not above ten acres per horse, or as
much as the national association sees
proper to put it, in order to reduce
% per cent, or 50 per cent reduction
would be better. The farmers would
make nearly twice as much Per acre
as at present, and would have the
rest of the land for other crops. 1t
is not the man who raises his home
supplies that affects the price of cot
ton or tobacco, but the special croper
or the large landlord who forces his
tenants into a money crop. For in
stance, one man may plant thirty
acres of cotton to the horse; another
man may plant but five acres. If
you pledge each to reduce 25 per cent
it will not give general satisfaction.
So many acres to the horse will be
right and proper, and will give gen.
eral satisfaction. The Alliancemen
are ready and willing to co-onerate
for a reduction. In fact, they re-
duced their acreage in cotton years
ago when cotton was so low, but they
are bound to plant some cotton and
tobacco in order to meet their ex-
penses, but they would not be willing
to give some other man the privilege
of PLANTING say 25 acres while such
a pledge would cut a great many
down to three or four acres to the
horse.
l speak for myself and / know
there are a great many more Al
liancemen of this opinion. Give US
not more than ten acres per horse.
and we are with you. Five acres to
the horse would be better. / hope
this matter will be considered at the
coming meetings.

terest was so blended and inseparable
until one could moi survive without
the other and the blow was aimed at
vitality and we had no time for
pickering, c~ontending over petty diff
ferences or past grievances. We
felt that the occasion demanded that
all should rally to the front and open
u batteries IN the enemy, for the
fight was now on TO a finish. We were
ready to forget the steps this great
Anglo-Saxon race had already made
against us and onward press our way
to the front against the combine Of
bears.
But imagine our surprise when we
saw the Constitution of the organiza-
ton in this State and the press re-
ports of the combine at New Orleans.
"We must eliminate the negro as a
member" which we felt was an insult
to Southern manhood. We have sub
mitted to taxation without represen-
tation. We have acquiescend in our
disfranchisement: shall we now sur
render our rights in our farms with
out representation or consultation?
Or shall we be discarded?
May the time speedily come when
men in their blind zeal to crush the
negro will temper their passions with
Justice, and not crush themselves 10
accomplish their aims. Revenge is
sweet to the baser passions of men.
When the negro sees he is ostracized,
stigmatized and has become an out
lava target for every little gather
ing from a local debating society to
United States Congress to fire upon
-stung to the quick with revenge,
fired with a desire for greed, he may
go forth and plant more cotton than
ever (for he is only human after alD,
and thus defeat the plans so wisely
laid for (but without) him.
Thus you see, he needs to be under
the guidance and protection of that
great organization, for your own pro-
lection as well as his.

TRUNK SALESMAN'S KICK.
Was Delivered Against the Trunks Bottom to Demonstrate It's
 Durability.

They wanted a good stout trunk, one that would stand hard usage, and this one seemed to be all right in every way, Top, sides and ends all looked rugged enough, but the bottom, one of the women said, didn't look strong at all; it looked, she said, as though it was just tin, says the New York Sun.
 Tin, madam?' said the sales man. ,sWhy, that trunks got an iron bottom, and it's the strongest part of it. You couldn't kick the bottom of the trunk in."
 And he demonstrated the fact by throwing back his right foot and kicking the trunkviolently.-
 He may have had the knack oi delivering violent kicks without doing injury, OF possibly he had shoes with cushioned toes, espe cially designed for trunk sales mems use, to enable them safely tC give such demonstration, or per haps the trunk did really have { stout iron bottom; but anyhow tht salesman's kick neither dented i nor left any mark on it, and "We'l take it, said the lady.

TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS.

The following from an exchange just about describes our views aI- so:
 Some newspaper subscribers often wonder, no doubt, why q publisher will keep sending the paper when the subscription has expired. The reason is this: When the subscription is paid to eer- tain time, the time expires and the paper Is stopped, it looks as if the publisher doubted the integrity Of the subscriber: and nine times out of ten the subscriber will give the publisher Calling down fer insinuating that his credit is no good. Rather than cast any re- factions against a neighbor's hon. esty to pay small debt, 1t has be- come customary for country news papers to continue sending the pa per. The city weeklies and dailies do not generally follow this rule, as their subscribers live at a dis tance, and besides they are not ae- quainted with them and do not know their financial standing. One should deem it an honor to know that his credit is not doubted, when the publisher continues to send the paper. Should the sub- scriber desire to have his paper discontinued, he should inform the publisher and remit to date, if any amount k owing.

PLEASURE AND USEFUL
 NESS OF FARM LIFE
The Farm Furnishes Splendid oppor- tunities For Profitable and
 Healthful Life.

 ''There is but one measure of greatness namely, service and service is the measure of happi- ness also. Only those who find life worth living who devote them selves conscientiously to some work which satisfies the conscience and contributes to human welfare. Money is useful as a servant, when honestly acquired, but money does not buy happiness. Social inter- course is necessary for recreation and for the study of human nature but nothing k more empty than life wholly devoted to society. Ev
 en public service returns more sorrow than satisfaction if 1t is un- dertaken from selfish motives. Each one needs life work which, while furnishing food and shelter and clothing, will yield a surplus of advantage to the public ut large. The avenues of usefulness are in- numerable and one has no difficult ty In selecting one so congenial that work will become a pleasure.
 Work upon the farm demands a larger number than any other branch of industry The study of the soil, to learn what crops are most suitable; the examination of seeds, to ascertain which are the most potent; expermentation with methods of culture, to determine which gives the best results all these are alluring departments of work. Then, the insects which must be fought and the blights which must be ayoided-these op- en up interesting lines of study.
 And the breeding of horses, cattle, hogs and sheep-w what an opportunity they furnish for in selligent selection and scientific care. likeness ought not to be described as luxurious or even tol- erable when farming Is so much more fascinating. The latter fur nishes food exercise for the body, activity for the mind and occupa- tion for the beast, while the form CT rusts the physical and mental faculties and corrups the morals. Besides the crops and the herds the farmer has the orchard, the berry patch, the vineyard, the gar den and the flower beds to develop here also k an opportunity to employ brain as we'll as music and to enjoy the consciousness of con tributing to the sum of human knowledge and happiness. The farmer who adds something to his OWL purse by an improvement III breed, or plant or method of cul- ture adds something to the world $  wealth as well as to his own.
 Tt has been too much the GUS tom to advise studious and ambi- tious boys to go to tue professions, but the tide should turn. WC need educated boys upon the farm and it will be a glad day when W, recognize that there k dignity il all useful labor and that the possi bilites of the farm are infinite
