COLORED WHEAT GROWERS.

IltDlS L. NcIncI, VI lHe 1tcIISdI
section Of Oconcc, was in Walhalla
last week, and talked very interest
ingly concerning plans that he and
David McClanahan have gotten un-
der way to make wheat and oat
growers Of their tenants, who have
heretofore planted I'll cotton.
The recent county corn contest,
which was inauguratcd by the Oco-
nee County Farmers Union, follow
ed by the more recent wheat and
oat contest, which also had its ori-
gin with the Farmers Union, have
been used by MeSSrs. Werner and Nc
gro tenants a spirit of competition
among themselves along broader
and more advanced line Of farming
than they have in the past adhered
to. Mr.. Werner states that these
negroes are now laboring steadily
on their wheat and oat acrcages, and
that he has high hopes inr r.aking
of them better farmers and better
tenants.
This is a result greatly to be de-
sired. There iS no good reason why
tn" average negro farmer should be
an all-cotton producer and a non
grain producer, to his own detrimcnt
as well us to his employer or land
lord. To mai of the negro planter
grain raiser as we'll as a cotton
grower will serve materially in the
effort o. the Southern farmers to
control curtailing Of cotton acre
age. Heretofore no argument could
b" brought to hear upon the negro
planter to cut his cotton acreage,
and the lack Of control of this Gle
m"nt has served TO anuul. to great
extent, the control OF the acreage
problem hy the white planter. And
1t has worked detrimcntally to all
concerned.
Mr.. Werner states that he has
given these absolute instructions to
the negroes entering the wheat and
oat planting organization: That
with it; that there shall be no relig-
ion i'm it. And this is a wise iniunc-
tion. So long as interest is kept up
on the matter % growing grain
crops, veil and good: but so soon
as either politics or religion Is en-
Era tied into the matter, then and
thCr" ii Is to stop. Either politics
or religion will unfit the average
negro for any labor Of value; the
two combined generally work his
complete undoing.
We commend Mr.. Werner in his
efforts along this line: and we COM
mend to the negroes of Oconcc Il fair
consideration OF this plan. 1t would,
We think, be well for other white
planters to help and advise the ne
gro planters along this line; and
most aSsurcdly it will be we'll for
the negroes to seek and take their
advice.
\ good deal of divcrSifcation of
crops AMONG our white farmers will
"'''' a. " iit''iIil H'lnluIuS 10 the
negroes, too. They are grcf.L imita-
tors, and probably the best and
quickest method TO get the negro
out Of the all-cotlon rut is for the
whit" farmers TO put into extensive
pra, 'ic" This better mode Of proceed
urc. Our whole county needs its
grain acreage increased as badly as
it needs Il reduction Of the cotton
acreage.
Let the white farmers lead off;
the negroes will follow.

HENEY AND SPRECKELS

SAN FRANCISCO, November s.
Francis j. Heney, the defeated candi-
date for district attorney, and Rudolph
Spreckels, who has financially backed
the campaign against graft, issued
statements this afternoon on the result
of the city election.
While expressing regret at the result,
both Heney and Spreckels assert that
they will continue the fight for civic
regeneration with renewed zeal.
Fickert, the successful candidate for
district attorney, ascribes Heney's de-
feat to the fact that he received money
from Spreckels. He thinks the people
considered Heney Spreekels agent.

WAIT UPON Mr.. ERWIN.
Efforts OF Citizens 10 Secure New Cot.
ton Mill for West Durham.

The Merchants Association
and officials Of the city and
county, waited upon Mr.. w. "A.
Erwin last Saturday and did their
best to induce him to decide in
favor of West Durham for the
location of the new cotton mill
that the Erwin Mill Co., is con-
sidering.
About all Of the business life
of Durham was represented.
Mr.. Vaughan spoke for the mer-
chants as we'll as the druggists
and called upon the various men,
bers to express themselves to Mr..
Erwin. For the bankers, General
Julian S. Carr and Mr.. John F.
Willy were the advocates, both
making the strongest appeal for
the city against the world. Solici-
tor Jones Fuller spoke in behalf
of the lawyers and Mr.. L. B.
Markham represented the county
commissioners. Alderman J. D.
Prdgen made the appeal in be-
half of the city council and DIR.
N. M. Johnson spoke for the doc
tors. Mr.. James H. Southgate
made wonderfully effective ad-
dress upon behalf Of the insur-
ance men and Mr.. Erwin res
ponded to the call admirably. He
said ne felt deeply touched by
such a manifestation, felt over
whelmed by sense of humility
and knew nothing in his life that
warranted any such organised
beseeching as that. "All the nat
ural ties make me wish to do as
you ask me-" he said, II frank
ly tell you that it is my sincere
wish to locate the mill here if it
is in our power to do so. There
are many things to be consider

tinued. There are some alluring
and patriotic offers to go else.
