THE REASON WHY.

More acres each year are turned
out" left to the grass, the gullies, and
the lobloily pines. No labor to cult
vate them-that is all. There are
stretches of the richest soil in Ala,
bama in which a Dlow has not been
stuck for five years. There is no Ia
Dor to grow cotton.
The Montgomery Advertiser thus
pictures and laments the situation in
Alabama. But that paper does not
explain the cause of that condition.
though. it knows all about it.
The politicians of the state are re-
sponsible for that condition, for it is
the natural result of their untiring ef-
forts to iimcrcw the Afro-American,
under the influence of a pretended
fear of Negro Domination" and $50
cial equality" they have made the
condition of the laborer little less
than a condition of peonage and COM
PEELED him to fee from the state.
They have tried to remedy by i'm
porting foreigners; but the foreigners
seem to think with Hosa Bigelow:
'Taint a KNOWN kind of cattle
That is ketched with mouldy corn.

TIE SOUTHERN PRIMARIES.

For a time the Southern Democrats
We're nightly jubilant over the adopt
tion of the primaries and they whoop-
ed themselves hoarse. They "lcwed"
that it would relieve them from the
Vaccinations of Republicans, Afro
Americans and other undesirable citi-
zens and insure harmony of the most
desirable kind in the ranks of the
party. But the halcyon anticipations
have gone glimmering like the comet
OF A. D. 1910. Wherefore? Simply
because the primary system doesn't
stop them from cheating, but seems
to stimulate the most audacious per-
formances in that line, and they are
cheating with vim and gusto and
an unanimity unheard of. Several of
the Southern states are having a ter
rblle time over the primaries.

was applauded with vigor by the men
who sought to destroy the Union.
That's the Southern idea. When
the Afro-American was a slave a good
able-bcdied man was worth $1,000 or
$4,000 and that's Why he was '1oved.''
Now that the Afro-American has
some freedom-he is not yet absolute

Our Caucasian friends would do we'll
