any changes and live under the ren-
atty Of the law?
I would suggest that the people. by
mutual consent. come together and at
the cotton association decide the
question In this way: that We will
plant just half the acreage this year
that was planted last year. and say we
will keep this up for eight years. An
empty market makes a good demand
We old farmers need not think that
the spinners ever allow themselves TO
get short of cotton. They invest two
years ahead. when cotton is cheap.
like IL is nOw--it Is just as low as
they would have il.
A farce law would bring on a panic
bankers would shut their money up

In the country. Just look back to old
Confederate war times: Five years
we did not plant any cotton: We lived.
out OF what we could Taise-we dill
not have a market for anything We
could raise. Nov we have a market
Tor. everything that can be produced.
cur chances are a g-tat deal better,
md I say, for one. lessen the acreage
TO One-half while the market is good
for other produce.
After FIVE years Of war, cotton sold
for $1.S5 per pound. Surely after
eight years. with a half-crop during
that time, IL should bring 40 cents.
We want this subject talked I'm ey-
cry district in the State of Florida and
IN every State that raises cotton. Let
me hear from all who accept this plan.
The East Ender" said the new law
would be good for mothers and little
children. I think love little Children
the best, and believe our plan will be
of more benefit to them
Times are getting better and conf
dence Is being restored. Let Us re-
frain from doing anything that will
brighten the return of prosperity.

Mr.. EMMETT SCOTT HERE
PREPARATORY TO SAILING .
FOR LIBERIA

Mr.. Emmett ]. Scott. recently
named by Presidential aft as one of the
Commissioners to go TO Liberia, ar
rived in Washington to remain for a
week or ten days, before sailing for
Liberia. Mr.. Scott is spending most
of his time at the State Department,
where he has been assigned a room
and a Stenographer, familiarizing
himself with reports, etc, etc, per
tanning to the affairs of the Liberian
republic. The selection of Mr.. Scott
as one of the commissioners was
eminently logical. He, better than
any other man, can best represent
and carry out the plans DR. Wash
ington would have carried out
The Negro Press of the country
has applauded the selection of Mr..
Scott. knowing that he will well rep
resent this country, the race, and sug-
gest what is best for the African
republic.
There is yet one other commissioner
to be selected, to take the place of Mr..
Ogden who declined. The Commits
sion will make the trip on a United
States gunboat.
1t is probable that before Mr. Scott
leaves Washington his friends will
tender him a complimentary dinner
Mr.. Scott recognizes the fact that
he has been given a splendid oppor-
tunity to make a name for himself,
and he fully appreciates the impor
tance of the mission anu its response
bilities.
The Bee joins in wishing him all
possible success.

Judge Terrel'S response was one OF

with optimism. He assured his BAN
queters that his highest aim would be
to rehehct the greatest possible credit
upon the judiciary and upon his race.

Governor Pinchback. who was de
tanned at home by illness, had his
health drank standing by the ban
queters. and many were the regrets
expressed at the inability of "the
greatest Roman of them all" to be
present
These little recognitions of the ad-
vancement of men of the race serves
to make them appreciate more fully
: the responsibilities that rest upon
them as representatives of the race.
