We ran across an old negro the
other day who can neither read
nor write, but who has kept his
eyes open, and has reached some
progressive conclusions that
ought to make some Of our white
farmers rather ashamed of them.
selves by comparison.
When he hauled his cotton to
market the other day, this negro
got q better price per pound than
our white farmers have been GET
ting, because the buyer said it was
about the best bale that he had
seen this season. The old negro
never lete a bale lie out in the
weather, but keeps it housed, and
when he gins his cotton he always
instructs the ginner to put good
bagging on it.
~ have always noticed" said
the old darkey in talking to us,
''that any thing that looks nice
and good, no matter what it is,
fetches more money. The good
bagging that I put on my cotton
costs twelve cents q bale extra,
and l believe / sometimes get

the neat-looking bagging, not to
say anything of the better price
