HINDUs ARE BEING. USED IN THE

A California Woman Claims to Have
Solved the Labor Proposition to
Her Satisfaction.
Mrs. S. P. Wiles. wealthy resi-
dent }of Los Angeles, CAL, who has
several Thousand. acres in cotton
whereabouts, has solved the labor
problem to her own satisfaction by
employing Hindus: SHE; spends much
Of her time on her plantation super
intending the work, and she says the
Hindus do their work well and cheer
fully.
~ Mrs. Wiies has already met with
difficulties, not the least OF which is
the feeling Of antagonism among the
whites toward her Hindu cotton
pickerg,. similar to, though mot as
strong as, that felt against the Chin
ese and. Japanese. MRS. aWiles is the
ronly! cotton raiser m the valley en-
ploying Hindus, and the result, of
her experiment is awaited with in
terest' by others who are having their
own troubles.
Robert E. Goepel, Of Port Gibson,
Miss, whose family has been raising
cotton for many years on their plan
tation in Claiborne county, Mississip-
pi, is at Los Angeles, arranging for
the building Of cottonseed oil mill.
He sticks to the old Southern ne
groes and will use them on the big
plantation his family has purchased
there.
Negroes on our plantation in
Claiborne county will be brought
here as soon as we can begin plant
ing cotton he said. "The boil
weevil has written the doom Of cot
ton In Mississippi. 97he planters are
moving away. I know OF a mum ber
of planters who have. bought land in
Imperial Valley, Cal, and they will
bring hundreds of negroes from the
old plantations to work the. fields.
"a few years ago Claiborne county
yielded 27,000 bales of cotton In a
season, The last crop was only T.
500 bales. At one time the Port Glib
son oil works crushed 10000 tons
of cotton seed a year. That has
dwindled almost to nothing. The
passing Of cotton In parts OF the
South is tragedy which. the planters
do not know how to meet. The ne
groes know cotton and cotton alone;
they will not tend any other crop.
The only recourse is immigration,
and the planters when they emigrate
will take. their negro workers with
them"

and the japanese immigration to
America the following excerpt
from the North American Times.
a Seattle Japanese publication,
will be read with more or less in
terest by Anglo-Saxons all over
the United States and especially
those living on the Pacific Coast:
"Owing to the structure with
which the Japanese government is
observing the 'gentleman's agree
ment" entered into with the Unit
ed States government as regards
the immigration of japanese in
this country, the character of the
japanese who today have the high
honor and dear and sweet pleasure
of landing in the United States
has considerably been changed.
These men and women are in a
sense the pick and flower Of the
race, so far as their usefulness and
deserving are concerned. Com
pared with the European immi-
grant, the Japanese stands in bold
relief.
eve admit that there have been
in this country in the past some
of our countrymen who have not
done honor to the name Of our
race. They have been ruffans,
rowdies, gamblers and vice-pro-
moters in large scale or in small
scale, as the case may be. And
we admit also that their influence
upon our community has been so
pernicious that even today we Oc-
casionally suffer form all sorts Of
social disease arising therefrom.
That these pests of society have
been allowed to enter this country
was indeed a reflection upon the
intelligence Of the government Of
ficials Of this country. And there
fore it was proper that they awoke
to the necessity Of checking their
inroad here.
"But that is now thing of the
past. Today we are very pleased
to observe that these undesirables
are rapidly being replaced by high
ly desirable men and women who
are a sort Of tonic to our COM
munity. They are like pure water
poured into a muddy pool, or like
the rising sun Illuminating the
world of twilight into broad day
light. IF ever there were any
guest that should be welcomed
here with outstretched arms, it is
the Japanese immigrant of today.
"These desirable immigrants
will materially assist in the up
building Of the state. Work is
plenty here, and what the United
States needs today, as ever before,
are men and women who work,
and, to be sure, work for the cause
of good government. If our read
ers demand proof Of our assertion
that our newcomers are doing well
in this country, we invite them to
take a little time to study their
conditions after they land here.
There is not yet any definite sta
tistics showing the ratio OF good
ness of those who have been here
for number of years, and or
those who have been here for a
number of years, and of those who
who have come here in these lew
wears But everywhere we find
striking evidence to prove that the
Io+tnr are doing a world OF gOOu

SEWER CONTRACT
 WORK STOPPED
Will Either Be Completed By Bonding Company Or By
 Sewer Commissioners.

At a meeting of the sewer commission Monday morning, the contract for the city sewer was taken away from Noble $ Gard ner and notice given the bonding
 company that it must either take
 over and complete the contract
 or arrange for the commission
 completing the contract. The
 American Bonding Company of
 Baltimore is behind the contrac-
 tors Noble & Gardner, and the
 commission has never recogniz-
 ed the dissolution of partnership
 between these men, whereby
 George A. Gardiner has been com pleting the work.
 The district commission has plenty of money on hand to conn p1ete the job and to in every way
 protect the district. The con tract was to have been completed
 January 15, and this is assigned as the reason for the action taken |by Commissioners c. c. Henry, Alcorn Ferguson and William Bengel, who hope to complete the sewerage system in better time than the contractors were making.

BANKING BILL
 WILL BE PASSED
Warnock Measure Up To Senate Provides For Optional
 Guarantee.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, March 27.-One of the most important questions put up to the senate by the House, which may be taken up this week is that of the state banking law provided for i'm the Warmock bill. Representative Wagner of Craw- ford led an intellectual fight against it i'm the House, but got only six votes against it.
 The bill has been endorsed by the Arkansas Bankers AsSocia- tion, and while it is expected to encounter more or less ser1ous opposition i'm the senate, there is a strong probability that it will be passed.
 The feature which aroused the greatest opposition is the option al guaranty for the protection of depositors, any bank state or national, being permitted to take advantage of thsi plan, paying one per cent of its daily average deposits, until the fund has reach ed $500, 900, when payments shall be stopped until the fund is de 'pleted.

No Quarantine For Veterans.

Occasionally a humorous incl dent creeps into the dull routine of the work of the committee charged with the preparation for the Confederate reunion at Lit tie Rock. The other day a let ter came from the adjutant of Lamar camp at Iuka, Miss, in- forming the committee that the members of that camp were strict teetotalers, and that unless the drinking mem could be separated from the temperance men in the camp they would ask for quarter on the outside. George R. Brow1 the secretary, informed the adju tant of Inka camp that it is moi the purpose of the reunion com mittee to separate the sheep from the goats and that mo effort will be made to quarantine the old veterans who like an occasional toddy.
