NOTES on RACIAL PROGRESS.

Lewis Thomas, a farmer who lives in
East Monroe Township, Monroe, y. c.,
says that he picked this fall ,637 lbs.
of cotton from one acre and three
rows Of measured land. Being a hard
worker and doing his part in the world
of work, he enjoys the reputation of
making good crops in his neighbour
hood.
During the recent Colored Fair held
in Raleigh, n c., October 23th to
Goth, there were three farmers who
! made exhibits that deserve special
mention. The first one is Fletcher
Lockhart, who is regarded as one Of
Wake County's most prosperous truck
growers. He was born a slave in
1854. When freedom came he was all
alone in the world, as both father and
mother were dead He worked on a
cotton farm until 1878. Then with no
money in hand and with seventy-five
cents borrowed to buy wedding shirt,
struck out with his wife to get ahead.
For the first year the two worked for
wages and cleared $65. The second
year LOckhart leased for five years, a
plantation of one hundred acres east
of Raleigh. When his lease expired,
he bought the place at on average
price Of $22 an acre. This put the
cost of the farm at $4,000, which he
gradually paid off from his crop mon
ey. The place is now worth nearly
$4,000. He has not only made money,
but he has also we'll educated his four
children. His farm is model, for on
it are crops Of cotton, corn, wheat,
oats and long list of truck products.
His display Of agricultural products,
in almost every line, was sight worth
seeing. Furthermore. he was justly
awarded by the committee one hundred
dollars ($1OO), the first prize, given by
the Industrial Association for the best
exhibit in this department.
The second case is that of S. M. r.
Slade of Work Creek Township. Wake
County, who owns farm of seventy
five acres, worth about $4,000. He was
born in Caswell County in 1857. His
father, together with the other slaves,
were driven off the farm year after
the war and went to Alamance County,
with nothing, where the whole family
toiled hard, working the soil at first
with hoes, as they owned no horse.
Soon young Slade decided to own some
land, so he bought two and one-half
acres for which he paid $56 of the
money he had saved. Later he bought
four acres more, after making a 1856
crop of tobacco the first year on what
had been termed IAN old field He
lived in Burlington ten years and sold
his six acres for $500. Now he is told
that this same tract of land is worth
at least $1,000. In 1896 he went to
Raleigh and paid 1855 for seventy-five
acres of land. On this farm Slade
has prospered. The exhibit from this
