Why Negro Sailor is Unsatisfactory.

Some of the farmers who are paying
inordinately high prices for picking
cotton might learn a lesson from an in
cident redated to the reporter Monday:
Recently he saw one of the laborers
on his farm very late going TO the field.
The man was demonstrated with for
being so late. The man replied, "Lor,
Mr.. l., | got plenty of time to pick
er hundred pounds OF cotton. Fifty
cents is all l van ter maxi in er day"
The moral is plain that had the price
been less, nor cotton would have been
picked. 1t is not true that every cot
ton picker is like this one, but he repre-
sents a class that is too numerous by
far. and d~emoralizing as we'll to those

saw an usher bring a note from the
corner occupied by Mrs. Frederick
Cole Fairbanks, the new daughter
in-law of Vice President Fairbanks,
and her party, he smiled graciously.
He read the note, shook HIS head and
told the usher to say that he did not
have the music. He tried to stick the
note In his vest pocket, but Il drop
ped on the floor instead, and then,
to hide his confusion he started the
next number on the program. After
the concern some one picked up the
note which contained the request. 1t

Question.

Washington, Nov. 1.-The ques-

modified spelling in accordance with
the order of the president was incl
dentally raised today in the supreme
court of the United States. The case
under consideration was that OF Bal
four against the United States, and
Solicitor General Hoyt was engaged
in presenting the governments side.
In the couse OF his argument he had
occasion TO refer to a long quotation
in his brief from a decision of the
court rendered some years ago by
Justice Bradley in which the word
through" was spelled thru" Chief
Justice Fuller held a copy of the
brief in his hand. and when the word
was reached interrupted Mr.. Hoyt
with a question as to whether the ex-
tract was intended TO be a quotation
from Justice Bradley's official opin-
ion.
