THE ITALIAN AND THE NEGRO
AS COTTON PRODUCERS: A
COMP ARSON

Inc figures for the first year were
not obtainable when | made my in
vestigation, and the year 1905 had
not then closed. Hence the period
covered was for six years, 1899 to
1904, inclusive. During these years
the Italians made an annual average
of 2,5S4 pounds of lint cotton per
working hand, and the negro an av-
erage of l ia pounds. The average
lint production per acre was, for the
Italians 4O3 pounds, and 233 pounds
for the negro. The average cash
product value Cotton and seed was
S247 ,36 per hand for the Italians, and
S22o. AZ for the negro. These values
per acre were for the Italians $44. II:
for the negro, 5000. The Italians
produced ,410 pounds more lint per
hand than the negro, equal to 800 l
per cent, while he raised 10 pounds,
or 72.9 per cent, more lint per acre.
This represents a difference in money
value, including cotton seed, of $l49
80 per hand, or 1888 per cent, in
favor of the Italian, and of $18.41,
or 69.S per cent, in value per acre.
The Italian cultivated GO acres per
working hand, and the negro 81
acres. From italian Cotton Grow

Stone, in the American Monthly Re-

THE associational season is on IN

The Bar Association is in convention
this week at Vicksburg. In about
ten days the Press Association as
sembles at Jackson. Then we have
to have the Medical and Dental AS
sociations. The fraternal orders have
already, some of them, had their an

do so this month. We don t recall
any others scheduled just now, but
doubt not that there are more to
gather in the yearly deliberations.

The Chronicle Chautauqua Asso-
citation has just displayed its accus-
toned annual good judgement in re
electing c. W. Thomas, the editor of
the Call of that town, as its presi-
dent for the ensueing year To the
many hard ticks that Bro. Thomas
puts in for the Chautauqua is due its
success as much as anything else.
His energy and enthusiasm seems to
be perennial. Under his skillful and
tactful guidance, will another splen
did assembly evolve We trust that
our estimable brother journalist will
see to it that the fair escutcheon of
his Chautauqua is not beclouded with
any short-skirted dancers, when the
next program is being made up.
This is a deviation from the Chau-
tauqua idea. and we feel sure that
our good religionist managers over
there, want to keep as close to the
ideas upon which the Chautauqua
movement was launched and rests as
anywhere in the land. We speak
kindly. Our article is iucited by I'M
pleasant recolections of a Scottish
Lassie, who under the guise of a
Highland fling, stepped over the
boards of that Auditorium platform
at its last Assembly. Not because
we love to criticize, but to drop a
warning note, impelled by a. consci-
entious desire to aid in building up
the CHRONICLE CHAUTAUQUA as an
institution for the blessing of human
ity in all this section. To do this the
management cannot be too careful
about introducing doubtful features.

The equipment mas lately been in
creased and greatly improved, a di-
rect wire with El Paso having been
put in about three weeks ago, adding
to the service rendered through the
direct line to Denver. However, it is
impossible to work these improve
ments to advantage in the present
quarters, and the new place will af-
ford ample room. This was one of
the main purposes of the removal.
