SOLUTION TO A
LABOR PROBLEM

The below letter, written BY one
prominent planter to another, We
accidentally got a hold Of this week
leaving ont their names, IS one Of
the solutions to the labor problems
in the Delta.
The ruinous policy Of advancing
hands more than they can pay for
and when they leave to expect the
planter upon whose place they re-
move to settle their account for
them, Is wrong, and II continued VIII
sooner or later drive orr best labor
away or bring the planter, as the
writer says, in conflict with the Fed
eral law Of peonaee, which is liable
to lead to serious trouble.
Il every planter would refuse. as
the writer has suggested, to pay these
debts, the negro would not be al
lowed to make them, and there would
be less moving among them each
year, and the planters would dwell
tremendously together,

the great free commercial waterways
OF the Mississippi Valley, and to se-
cure at the hands of the Nationqi

stantly growing population and the
vast industrial interests of the grea,
valley,
1t IS not commonly understood,
trite and thoroughly established as is
the fact, that the Mississippi River
with its various tributaries, takes
water from twenty-six States of the
Union, and furnishes 10000 miles OF
navigable waterways. 1t is true that
this vast mileage is not in every part
at all times as available for boating
as is desirable, but there is not in
mile of it that is not during GER
tain seasons of every year open &c
navigation.
1t is TO make the channels of com.
merce what they should be, and what
the business of the country requires
that the secongresses' are held.

WHEN IT'S ON THE
OTHER FELLOW

An editor is alright and is doing
his i,ll duty when he is publishing
something con the other fellow
but the minute he touches you or
your business. just that minute he is
no good and his paper is not worth
a nickle year.
The paper whose editor tries tc
publish all the news has long since
suspended and the editor,-oh, well
he's up with the angels now, or fish

Whether or not the Governors re-
