BLACK BAYOU
DRAINAGE QUESTION.

Next Monday the planters and
landowners of the Black Bayou
drainage district meet in this city to
discuss the bill introduced by Capt.
w. w. Stone, State senator OF Wash
ington county, and passed by the last
session of the State Legislature.
That the measure is meritorious
one. and will if adopted add in time
dollars TO the pockets of every land
owner included in the district, as
we'll as the county's treasury, goes
without saying: but whether the land
owners are at this time financially
able to meet the tax to carry it
through, is left for them to decide.
There is no man who can impugn
Senator Stones motives in securing
the passage of this bill, for Senator
Stone and his family are among the
largest taxpayers of the county, and
should this bill pass they will have
to bear their part of the taxes.
The bill is SO framed that one
half of the landowners of the dis
trict by petition to the Board of SUI
pervisors opposing it, defeats the
measure Again. any landowner now
included by the boundary lines car
exempt himself by appealing to the
i chancellor and showing his lands are

ture-cannot be increased above ter

The Times Believes its friend,
the Hon. John Sharp Williams. can
serve the State and South better
from the position he now holds as
the minority leader of the House
than as a United States Senator OF
Mississippi. No man today stands
higher in the estimation of the peo-
pie, not only OF Mississippi but the
entire nation, than the minority lead
er. and should he refuse to withdraw
from the senatorial race and be de-
feated by the Governor, 1t Is but the
open expression of the State that
they want him to remain in his pres
ent position. and an endorsement OF
his service and not that their love
for him or confidence in his ability
is whit less than that for our able
( Governor. In proof OF this let the
! Governor or any man offer his name
! for the position he now holds as
Cos ressinaf OF the Fifth district.
and John Sharp would beat him two
to one.
During the past week we have
talked to people from all parts of the
I State and the sentiment IS, as far as
we COLD hear. that Hon. John Sharp
Williams should hold his present po-
sition. for with Democratic House
which the coming election will de
eide, he will be its next Speaker.

The chances for the election of the
Hon. F. n Thomas grow stronger
with the passing of each day. His
friends from all over the State are
coming forward in letters assuring
him now of large vote. No man
in the race today stands closer in
touch with the common people than
Washington county's candidate, and
when he gets out upon the stump and
tells it to the people, he is bound to
win them to his support.
The resolutions of endorsement
passed by the Washington County
Thomas Club show what his home
people think of him, and bury forever
the assertion of some of the support
ers OF rival candidates-that he Will
! not carry his own county. No man
in the race today will receive a stron-
ger endorsement of his home people
as it now looks, than Mr.. Thomas
and no man should, as his whole lite
has been a sacrifice of personal inter
csts for those of the public.

age must also be taken into consid-
Grafton as a factor in the conditions
which have kept the crop stationary
for SO long. The interesting facts set
forth by Mr.. Price are as follows:
Those who have been close stu
dents of cotton history for the past
ten years cannot fail to be impressed
by the following salient facts:
I. That the South has produced
crop Of about 100000 bales (act-
ually o.ooI ,ooo) in the season of 1884,
1906. and that in Ioo5-Ioo6, twelve
years later, the yield from a largely
increased acreage is only about SIX
bales.
2. That the average yield of the
eleven years, just ended, is 1920, 600
bales, or hardly more than two per
cent. increase on the yield of twelve
years ago, and that the crop just
marketed is bit little over this aver
age.
| 3. That in the past seven years
but one crop of over 1900 900 bales
has been produced, and that if this
crop (r esulting from apparently
unique conditions) be expected, the
average yield of cotton during the
last six years is only Io,34o,oOo bales
or only about 10000 bales les than
the crop just marketed.
l. That, although the first crop of
100000 bales was considered SO
super-abundant that in I8o4-o5 it de-
pressed the price of cotton to S I-8
cents in New York. practically the
same yield ten years later Tin Ioo3-4)
caused an advance to Is cents, the
extreme appreciation in value being
200 per cent. attributable entirely to
an increased demand as the supply
was the same.
:. That although the average price
of cotton from September I. 1893, tc
September I, 1900, was below cents
, and although it never sold as high as
10 cents. the price was sufficiently
remunerative to the planter to induce
an increase in the production from
$500, 900 in ISo3-o4 to 100000 il
1903, equal to about $50 per cent. il
: FIVE years; while. on the other hand
an average price of nearly 10 cent
: during the past seven years, and al
extreme advance to 10 cents, worked
: an increase in the production of onl,
IS per cent, and that for one yea
+ only, while the average crop of tn
last seven years, at an average pric
: of o.o2 cents per pound, is only 10,
: 100000 bales as against an averag
e crop of o-6SS,ooo bales, at an averag
: price of 6 "a cents per pound for tn
, FIVE years preceding.
Broadly stated. it seems plain from
: the foregoing that. during the pas
, seven years the cotton production o
the United States has remained al
D most stationary, only the extraordi
n nary combination of IS cent cotto
i and absolutely perfect weather bein
effective in increasing it substantial

WHY THE COTTON CROP
rs STATIONARY.

The following analysis OF the cot
ton situation is issued by Theodore
Price, who attributes the practically
stationary condition of cotton pro-
duetion in the South during the past
half dozen years TO the fact that the
South has gone largely into other
industrial business which has furnish
ed better market for labor than
the cultivation of cotton The at
traction of city and town life has
draw thousands of negroes from the
fields; but this rhegira from the
country to the towns has not been
so much to obtain easier work at
better wages, and to seek advantages
which towns offer for bringing Up
and teaching children, as on on ac-
count Of the Mell-known fascination
which herding together in idleness
