must be along uncontested lines.
While the records show that the
Negro is gaining in other occupa-
tions, only goes to show that the
trained Negro is gaining ground,
but not to the point to insure sta
BILE success.
There are 2,143,176 Negroes ell
gagged in agricultural pursuits or
21 and 7-1o per cent. Of all persons
is by no means displeasing.
There seems to be an unrest of
leaving the farm and going to
town to live by wits, but it seems
the interest is greater among white
than among Negroes. From 1900
to 1910, the increase Of white farm
ers was 9 1-1o per cent, that of
the Negro was 1o per cent. The
Negro farm labor decreased nu-
merically, while the Negro FARM
ers increased. This is due to the
fact that farm work is deprecated,
the masses Of colored people are
made to feel that it is more honor
able to move to town and follow
some trade and half starvc.
The poor. white man has neither
the money or the brain to control
Negro labor. Some leading white
politicians arousing race hatred,
make the poor white man feel hui
inflated working in the fields with
Negroes. The well-to-do white
man will not do manual work, at
the same time prefers to live in
town where he can educate his
children. The poor white man
finds employment in cotton facto-
ries. This leaves the farm to the
Negro and the mule. Here is q
chance to buy land and live unmo-
lested.
Our white friends are grieving
over the race problem. Let lis buy
farm land, cultivate it intelligentlv
and let our white friends talk poll
tics and look dignified. Sell linn
all that he needs, in short, let lis
produce while he consumes. This
will solve the problem.
There are in the South several
millions of acres of unirnproved
land which the Negro can buy and
cultivate successfully, which, if we
wait few years, will be owned by
some one else.
The newspapers and the railroads
are advertising the South in for
eign countries with the hope OF
bringing people of foreign BIRTH
foreign ideas, people who are in lit
tie or no sympathy with conditions
i'll this country, for the sole pur-
pose of maintaining white supre-
macy.
In case this country is ovcrrur
with these ignorant people the
question that ought to concern lis
is: where will we stand?
We arc practically dcbarret
from white labor unions, hence the
unimproved land is Our place.
Notwithstanding there is little O.
no inducement to the unthinkins
young Negro, the Negro must take
/ that as his lot and thank God it i
no worse.
The National House Of Repre-
sentatives seems to be unfavorabl,
to the progress of Negro agricul
ture, and in no State do we get al
the encouragement necessary 70
intelligent farming among Ne
groes. But this is in no way du'
to the white people of character ant
ability. Anything done to discour
age the Negro in his progress on
ward is the work of the politician
whose stock is in arousing the hat
red of the poor, ignorant white
people against colored people.

ward is the work of the politician
whose stock is in arousing the hat
red of the poor, ignorant white
people against colored people.
Let it eyer he remembered that
the white people who have stood
for progress among their own race
have extended a helping hand to
the Negro struggling, the Negro
who wanted to rise. There are
hundreds of farmers here and else
where whose success has opened
the way for Negroes to stick to the
farm, and whose career stands as
possibilities. They owe their ste
cess to the kindly advice and finan-
cial help of their white friends.
But we must not let any of these
prove barriers in Our way. To be
sure, we must 60 the faster.
We must bear in mind that we
are no longer slaves, but free men
walking and thinking as other peo
pie.

3. A Lib airy of
American History
and Politics

The PA American contributors who
have shared in the undertaking, and
the many European contributors who
have investigated the early periods in
which Spanish, English, French.
Dutch, and Russian rulers governed
parts ol the country, have made the
Britannica the one great authority on
American history. The general MARIA
tive is admirably condensed in the ar
ticlc United States" which is no
longer than two ordinary octave vol
umes. Separate articles deal with the
history OF the Norih American c0Hti-
p,ri AS whole, of the Htdidu tribes, OF
each OF the great rdrs, OF the separate
s1'ss and CITIES, OF our possessions
ubIpcd. Of our constitution amt on

of the various factions which have
come and gone, oil the great men VINO
constructed the nation and preserved
1t when its unity or prosperity WAS
threatened; and Of the development OF
the couutry's resources. No American
citizen knows how proud he ought TO
be Of the nations past and present,
and how carefully he should consider
his share OF the general responsibility
for its future, until he has read its
history in the new Britannica.

publishers seem to think that any kind

enough for children's book. But it is

DDS of packing and shipping; agricul-

raphies, some OF people AZ far away
from our time as the Assyrian kings
who rcigned 5000 years ago, and
others OF people still living, whose do
ings you have been reading about in
this mornings paper. II is almost a
pity to call these Britannica lives "bi-
ographies," because that word sug-
gests the dull kind of reading that you
find in ordinary dictionaries OF biog-
raphy, where only bare facts are
given. In the Britannica you get brill
liant living pictures OF great men and
women as they actually lived, and you
mud these true stories as fascinating
as novels. Every hour you spend in

cause it is also a key to the immediate
future of progress in the Industries, in
Commerce, in Sctncc, and in Poluicdt
DerelOpmcm.
Perhaps the one feature of the Bri-
tannica which has done most TO make
its practical value universally recog-
nized during the past lac years is that,
ever since the first edition appeared in
1868, it has been n fOrcsightcd and far
sighted book. 1t has not merely stated
facts as to the past and present and
left its readers to try and find out for
themselves how those facts will affect
the future. in describing the cX-
periments which are being made in
agriculture, in manufacturing, in
finance, in insurance, and in business
methods, AS well as in the laboratories
of chemists and of students of me
chanical science, il forecasts, AS def
nitely AS possible giving you the
reasons on which the forecast is based),

have upon the worlds work, and upon
the prosperity of nation or state,

Is. An Inexhaustible
Digest of Facts for
Lawyers

The new Britannica is an indis-
pensable library for lawyers, who find
nowadays that nine-tenths of their
cases turn upon questions of fact, not
of law. The authority of the Bril-
tannica has repeatedly been recog-
nized by the federal and state courts
in cases turning upon some question
altogether beyond the scope Of juris-
prudence, as in a recent suit in an
Alaskan mining town, where the
rights of a Servian congregation were
in question, and the Britannica was
successfully cited to prove that the
Servian Church is not under the
authority Of the orthodox Russian
Church. In a recent opinion handed
down by the Supreme Court Of North
Carolina. the Chief Justice quoted
from the Britannica article on
Prisons"

The new Britannica is also an ex-
ceedingly useful book in explaining the
meaning of new scientific terms or OF
words having an interesting history.
The editors took it for granted that in
every home into which the book would
90 there is already dictionary OF some
kind: and they did not waste space in
defining familiar words. But they
knew that the recent advance OF
science and research has brought into
use thousands of new words. In fact
great many chemical substances and
processes described In the new Britain
MICA are so novel that no previous book
of any kind has mentioned them, or
printed the words which had to be
invented to describe them. and 1t has
been estimated that there are over
l4,OOO different words in the volumes
which are not yet included in any
dictionary.

ority of the Britannica to the usual

The new Britannica was edited with
the object Of helping the reader, and
the figures given in connection with all

that enable the reader TO understand

bare figures found in ordinary books

are affected by special circumstances
are clearly interpreted, SO that correct
conclusions may be drawn from them.
