An esteemed contemporary says:
''Those who make a living by gam
bling in cotton futures are protest
ing energetically against the meas
ure now pending in Congress-"
We have not found 1t so. The
men who are protesting most ener-
getically are the legitimate cotton
buyers who use the future market,
through the exchanges, to hedge
and protect their purchases. II
this buyers insurance is removed,
sales must revert to the old, specu.
lative system, when a buyer re-
quired a margin of from a quarter
to half a cent for protection. -

Land Drainage b NOxubee.

Mr.. ]. r. HasweIl, drainage en-.
gineer Of the q. 8. Department Of
Agriculture, was In the county
several days this week ct the re.
quest Of Commissioners Of Agricul.
ture Haddon, and In company with
that gentleman, made an inspec.
tion Of the lands that drain into
Woodward's creek In the Cooks.
Vile neighborhood, the Ehuqualak
and Wahalak creek lands In Mr..
G. 8. Fields neighborhood, and
the Noxubee river bottoms west Of
Macon. On Wednesday he went,
in company with Mr., Haddoh, to
Brooksville and inspected much of
the river bottom lands west Of
Brooksville. They were assisted
in their tour of inspection by the
soil survey map made o year or
two ago, which shows that Q large
portion Of the lands Of the county
can be benefited by drainage.
Trinity clay found in your river
and creek bottoms, said Mr.. Has
well, is the best soil your county
has. 1t Is better for all purposes
than the Houston clay Of your prai-
ries, il thoroughly drained, but in
its unimproved condition 1t is too
wet for successful cultivation.
The fall in most Of your streams is
about two feet to the mile, which
is sufficient for good drainage.
A preliminary report to the
government will be made by Mr..
Haswell and published in Wash
ington and will be sent free to
those who own land and are inter
ested.
AS to the cost of drainage, Mr..
Haswcjl stated that he could make
no accurate estimate without a
more thorough survey, but that
similar drainage costs from % to
$15 per acre, and will double the
value Of the land and bring In in.
creased fertility handsome returns
for the money invested In drain
age.
It is hoped that after the pre-
liminary report is received farmers
will become interested and petit
tion the Division OF Drainage In
vestigation of the Department 0,
| Agriculture fora compieIe survey
of the whole county to show what
land will be benefited and how q
drainage system can be construct
ed. Half the cost OF the survey is
usually borne by the government
and half by the interested land
owners. After the survey is made
and plans for the drainage system
approved the work is let by con-
tract to the lowest bidder, and is
paid for out of q fund raised by
bond issue, the bonds constituting
a lien on the lands improved. The
bonds run ten and twenty years.
I learn since / have been in the
county, said Mr.. Haswell, that a
number of your farmers are con-
templating tile drainage. They
should be warned against discharg-
ing the tile into a creek where the
water will rise and cover the out
let, as this will cause sediment to
be deposited in the tile which in
time will render it useless.
Mr.. Haswell is one of the party
that has just completed a survey
of a large body of land along the
Big Black river in Holmes, Carroll,
Montgomery and Attala counties,
and the largest drainage PROPOSE.

1t is rumored that the booze crowd

Fifty Years of Freedom.

This is the 50th anniversary year of
negro freedom. In considering the
progress of the race in half century
the Worlds Work for June prints the
following striking facts:
In 1867, there were only 111.442 pupils
and 2,087 teachers in schools for Ne
groes. OF these teachers, only 699 were
colored. Last year, 100000 Negro pu-
pits were taught by 1000 Negro teach
ers. In 1867, only 466l Negroes We're
studying in higher institutions of
learning; last year more than 100000
students were enrolled in normal
schools and colleges for colored folk.
In 1863. there were only four institu-
lions in the United States for such adj
vanced study. Now there are in the
South alone 50 colleges, - institutions
for the education of Negro women, Y
theological schools. 3 schools of law,
of medicine, of pharmacy, IL state
agricultural and mechanical colleges
and more than 400 normal and indus
fiial schools.
To-day, more than 10000 Negroes are
in business for themselves as store
keepers or in other merchantile pur-
suits: Negroes own 100 insurance com
panies and 800 drug stores; more than
fifty thousand Negroes are in the pro-
fessions More than 100000 Negroes
are working in the skilled trades. six
ty-four Negro banks do about $2o,0Oo,-
600 worth of business every year.
Negro farmers control about AZ mil
lion acres of land. OF these farmers
2l9,647 own their farms, about 20 mil
lion acres in all. The total value Of
farm property owned by Negroes Is
more than 400 million dollars. In h1ts
wears of freedom the Russian serfs
have accumulated, on an average,
property worth s36 per capita. The
Negroes, in the same time, have ac-
auired $40 worth of property per capl-

The Mighty Y. M. C. A.

Threescore years ago Mr.. T. V. Sulli-
van, a captain, organized in Boston
a new business, modelled after seme-
thing he had heard existed in England,
says the Worlds Work. 1t was differ
ent from any American business then
in existence. The new venture began
in a very small way, with practically
no capital and no backing As it be
came a demonstrated success, capital
came to it and men of affairs became
interested in its management
To-day this organization has thous-
ands of employees. 1t has 2,l96 Offices
in almost as many American cites. It's
expenses are more than $l0000,000 a
year. 1t has recently erected build
ing in Chicago worth 100000, one IN
New York costing 100000, and another
in Cleveland valued at 1858, 0O0 1t is
building an office building in Atlanta
at a cost of SAP, 900, another in Phila-
delphia valued at $6s7,000, and third
IN Boston at an expenditure of Sl,5oo :
900. For five years this corporation has
been erecting branch houses at the
rate of one every six days. All told, 1t
owns 725 buildings. It's real estate Is
worth $4,000, 900 and it has mainte-
nance funds of 1000, 900 more, giving 1t
a total capital of $4,000, 000..

year gubernatorial town, just as Mas
sachusetts now is the only state that
has one year gubernatorial term.
The contest this year will be trebly in
teresting there. 1t will be test of
the Progressive strength in that state.
The governor to be elected VIII be in
succession to Woodrow Wilson, who
resigned last March to become Presi-
dent. But Mr.. Wilson will have q
keen interest in the outcome because
he wants to hold the state to his party.
Not only will there be tariff troubles
in Jersey to Democratic disadvantage
but the Democratic bosses whom Mr..
Wilson has been fighting may not
support the Democratic ticket this
year with particular enthusiasm.
There are expectations that the Presi-
dent will make some speeches in the
