White Farmers Demanded.

Hon. Clarence H. Poe, associate editor
of the Southern Farm Gazette, gives out
the following very strong editorial on the
subject of acquiring homes by the white
farmers of the South. In this editorial
Mr.. Poe sounds the note of warnino
that it might be we'll to take heed of.
I'VE hope we have seen about the last
of Southern white farmers leaving the
farms to take work in cotton mills. We
are anxious to see the manufacturing
enterprises of the South build up, but
we are more anxious to see the farm
lands of the South held by prosperous
small white farmers now, and to see
these small white farmers have their part
in the great agricultural awakening 60
ing on.
''Some one has wisely said that in all
ages and all countries the men of the
classes who own tie land sooner or later
made themselves the aristocracy of that
country We have not come to this con-
dition so rapidly in America as in other
countries, because of the abundance of
cheap land resulting from the newness
of settlement and the sparseness of pop.
ulation as yet; but in the long run the
history of other countries must be re-
peated here.
"These thoughts came very forcibly to
mind as we rode through cotton mill
village the other day and saw its hun

dreds OF white employes-men, women
and children who have left the farm to
become the homeless hirelings of the
cotton manufacturers. The negroes, find
ing no place i'll manufacturing for them,
are left on the farm and are becoming
land owners in rapidly increasing num-
bers. Not only this, but the negro chill
dren are going to school and developing
healthy bodies in the open air and heal
thy surroundings of country life instead
of being shut up in cotton mill, over
worked, under-educated, and poorly de-
veloped physically as the tendency must
be in all cotton mills so long as the
legislatures of the South are too sub
servicnt to the less humane mill owners
to enact needed laws for restricting child
labor in the mills-the less humane mill
owners, we say, because there are many
thoughtful and far-seeing mill owners
who heartily favor stricter regulations.
"We have no ill-will toward the cotton
manufacturers; we have no illwill to-
ward the negro; we do realize very
strongly, however, that the safety of the
South depends upon the presence of a
large white rural population. The DRIFT
from the farm to the cotton mill not
only affects this directly, but also in
directly, because when once the popula-
tion of a community becomes predom-
inantly negro, the small number of
white people left may be forced to move
out in order to find sufficient numbers
for a society of their own. 1t was a wise
saying of James divers, "lIappy is the
land that is titled by the man who owns
it, and the great need of the South to-
day is to encourage the holding of small
farms by white farmers. We repeat that
we say this in no ill-wil1 to the negro,
but because the best interests of both
races demand that the rural South main
tain it's large white population. Unless
this is done the negro himself will not
prosper as rapidly as he will with white
guidance, and unless this is done the
cities of the South must inevitably go
backward.
I'VE urge every white tenant farmer,
and specially every whate man who for
any reason is thinking of becoming some
body's hired man in town instead of
owning his own home in the country, to
buy land. We must encourage the spirit
OF homecoming with every man sitting
under his own vine and fig tree, and we
must especially encourage the develop
ment of II great class of small white
farmers. The saving of the rural South
to the white race is one of the most i'm
portland problems now before the people

1t was the writers privilege some time
ago to be in company with number of
gentlemen from another state fer sew
eral days. During the time the fact that
Mississippi was the freest state from
graft and dishonesty among officials was
often commented on. 1t was especially
gratifying to know the splendid reputa.
tion borne by our state among the peo.
pie of the whole country.
The people are responsible for this
state of affairs. No man who is known
to have an inclination to fall into this
common error could be elected constable
of the remotest district in Mississippi.
The voters are alert and cast their bal
lots only for men they know to be hon.
est and true.
Let it be the determination of our
people to continue this excellent state of
affairs. If only one state in the Union is
above suspicion, let that state be Mis-

Der of county fairs has been increased
almost four fold and the prospects for

to the truthfulness of this statement.
They should be encouraged In every
legitimate manner until the county with
out one would be an exception instead
of the rule.
Many states-a ma aiority of them--en-
courage the fairs by making an appro-
priation for distribution according to
proper rules and regulations, and ap-
piled to agricultural, horticultural and
live stock premiums. Is it not about
time that Mississippi considered this
matter? Would not small sum to
be divided among the fairs of the coun-
ties, upon an equitable and just basis,
be a good investment?

Many politicians and their friends

amusements of all sorts for every
body.
Sheriff William Harrigan was chair
man of the reception committee, and
the members of the association, of
which he is the standard-bearer, were
present in large numbers. The sheriff
arrival was the signal for a popular
demonstration. AN impromptu march
around the hall and park followed, the
party being headed by the sheriff,
James Delaney, his clerk; Fire Com

locality. When the company opened it's
first engagement at Olympic Park six
years ago there was some doubt as to
whether this style of high-class enter
tainment would succeed here. The re-
suit has much more than justified the
expectation of the most sanguine.
That the patrons of summer opera at
the park may have something to re-
mind them of the pleasant hours they
have spent in listening to the many
offerings of the Aborn repertoire the
management has arranged for the dis

PATERSON COPS
BEAT OUR TEAM
Visitors Capture Second Ball
Game by Score of Eleven
to Six.

Newark policemen are good sleuths,
but very poor baseball players. This
was demonstrated on two occasions by
a crowd of the gum-shoed men from
Paterson. Tie first game between the
two teams resulted in a victory for
Paterson. and yesterday al Wieden-
mayors Park they again trounced the
men from our city by the score of IL
to 6.
The excellent work of Schroeder, of
the Fourth Precinct, in the box and the
fine support given him by Paddy Troy
show tina our fellows once upon a time
knew the game. OF course, they are
getting old now, and make more mis-
plays than before, but they proved they
are still in the running. Lunny on sec
ond base was the star and idol of the
day. His ability to keep ginger in the
game kept the boys from being beaten
worse than they were. He was also
right there with the stick. In the
lucky" seventh, with two men or
bases, he sent a wallop to the left field
fence for three bases and did the run
ming all himself.
Mike Higginss error, when he
dropped an easy fly and allowed two
runs to be chalked, was another fea-
ture of the game. Scanlon and Kier-
nan. of the Third Precinct, played a
good game. Herman was good at short
and Scanlon made good In the field.
Taylor, of the Paterson team, did some
tall hitting. After the game the off,
GERS gathered at a banquet at Dassing's
Hall, Springfield and Morris avenues.
The master of ceremonies was James
McDermit. Other speakers were Johr
Boylan, of Paterson; John Ward, Of
Paterson. and Patrick Glennon and
