NEGRO FARMERS MEET
ELEVENTH ANNUAL CONFERENCE
 AT SNOW HILL.
Principal Edwards Delivers an Address Along Practical Lfnes-Progfess Reported by the Negro Farm
 CTS Who Attended.

Snow Hill Jan. 31.-(Special)- )-The eleventh annual session of the Negro Farmers Conference convened at Snow Hill Normal and Industrial InstHute, Friday, January goth, at 11:a0 a. m. The praise services were conducted by the chaplain. Rev. E. W. Cook.
 Principal Edwards then addressed the large eoncourse of people along practical lines. He said in part as fol- lows:
 We have been deprived of many of our privileges. yet we have many left to us that fear we do not use. We have the opportunity of developing these farm lands into the most fertile spots on earth. yet fear that large portions of them are becoming im- poverished by careless and unskilled labor. Some of are especially care- less along educational lines, in our home, and in respect to religious ser vices. 1t is the object of this confer ence to arouse within you a new de- termination to go forward. Not only do we desire to find out the real com dition of your communities; whether they be good or bad, whether they have made progress, or whether they have gone backwards, but we hope that whatever reports may be encouraging, the same may serve to wake up those communities that nave been SlumDer- ing.
 It is a fact that some of you do not exercise the proper control over your children. Just as soon as the girls put on long dresses, and the boys stop wearing knee pants. they stop going to school. And you claim that you can not compel them to attend school. We do not believe you are telling the truth. for when the time comes for them to go to the field. you say go, and they have to go. If you can compel them to so to the field. you can also compel them to go to school.
 We do not pay our poll tax. The late Constitution of the State of Alabama makes the paying of poll tax one of the conditions necessary to vote. The poll tax money also goes direct to the educattona of the children of the race paying it. And yet you think it is a blessing that you are not, as of old, forced to pay and thus you will not

ber could not stand the drain on the pocket-book longer than the fourth of July. This has changed to a condition of prosperity in nearly all the leagues during the few years the American League has been a major league. The presence of so many major leagues not only created unusual baseball interest in the South, but the rivalry of the two big leagues developed contentious that kept the fans feasted with interest continually. The advent of the higher class leagues has opened a source of profit that heretofore had but the barest speculative interest. In order to con- duet the leagues on peace basis it was necessary to bring all the organ nations into sort of national com pact guaranteeing protection and equit- able treatment to all minor organiza- tions. The rivalry between the Amer ican and National Leagues created harvest for the sale of the more prom ising young players of the minor as- soeiations, especially of the South. It has been this part of the business end of the game which has enabled the Ht- tie leagues to live throughout the sea- son and make profit while heretofore their market has been limited and the interest in the sport was more limited and even less national than now,
