Picture Agents Should be Discouraged

The agent for charging pictures is
an abommation. A plague spread Over
community cannot be worse that
he has become among the negroes Of
the South.
Recently l talked with such an ag-
ent and he said to me, "within Il ra-
dius of 10 miles of your little town
have collected more than $700 in three
days from the negroes, although l am
the third picture agent to canvass
your community this winter, and |
hear that there is another coming
here before my tracks are cold" |
thereupon asked him to tell me some
of his methods in obtaining his money.
Flushed with his success, he laughed
outright as he continued, 81 take
mortgages on everything the negroes
have, on their mules, cows, hogs,
oh: ems, bedsteads, stoves, chairs. etc.
&C. Often | find one he'd in one
housi hold, often two. The negro far
mer owns one mule, or one COW, but
when the girls and wife persuade. he
yields"
One morning while l was in one of
the STORES IN my nome town this same
agent came in, followed by a big
shambling black woman, former
washerwoman of mine, who at that
moment was crying bitterly. Upon re
cognizng her | asked another negro
woman what was the matter with
Aunt Charlotte" "That agent" the
woman replied. "is going to take the
only cow she has. Aunt Charlotte has
had five pictures enlarged. He took
a mortgage on her COW and on all
her furniture besides, and now pay

she had never seen an agent. You can

The Gentleman and the Crouch

Stand gentleman and a crouch

The greater respect?
Webster says that gentleman is
man of "refned manners and good
behavior" while the crouch is "gruT
and morose"
1t is easy for any man to be n
gentleman, and he has much to gain
and nothing to lose.
1t is equally easy to be a crouch,
with everything to lose and nothing
to gain.
The gentleman has many friends
and but few enemies, while the crouch
has many enemies and but few friends
God smiles upon the gentleman,
while the devil smiles at the crouch.
Life is bright to the gentleman,
while to the crouch it is full of gall.

Let The Farmer Who is Getting Old
Keep His Children Near Him.
Progressive Farmer.)

Progressive Farmer.)
We have been very much pleased
by the appreciation of our recent
editorials on "Sell Some Land to Good
White Neighbors" and GLOW to Build
n Good Neighbol hood" 1t is impos-
sibe 10 say how many thousands OF
farmers in the South arc scratching
over large farms with shiftless ten
ants, making practically no profits,
unable TO improve their homes OF
farms, living without enough good
white ncighbors, and probably driving
their children away to town, all be-
cause they insist upon holding on to
tracts larger than they arc able to
cultivate properly.
Just few days ago an cntorpris-
ing young farmer and trucker came
into our Office with some products
that he was justly proud of. 81 Went
back 10 the farm last fall after having
been in town several years." he told
us. And then he gave us a story that
might have been duplicated in its
essentials in almost every neighbor-
hood in the South. "My father owned
five or six hundred acres of land" he
said, (which he was renting out to
negro tenants and making nothing off
of it. But he was so bent on keeping
the whole farm all together just as
it was that he would not divide off any
parts for my brother and me, either
to sell us or even for long time lease.
| suppose ii was natural for him to
wish to keep in charge of the whole
five or six hundred acres as he had
always hecn. AS my brother and
didn't wish to improve and enrich
any particular part of the farm with
out having a permanent understand
ing about it, we naturally had to go
to town. Last year, however, my ia
Their decided that it was better to
have his own sons near him rearing
their families and building up good
farms, instead of continuing the land.
skinning by ignorant tenants. Conse-
Quently, he made arrangements for
dividing off tracts for my brother and
me, and naturally all of us are hap
pier to be grouped together again in
this way"
We suspect that there is lesson
here for many of the older farmers
WIN Ieuu Lie Progressive FarINer.
Why should they insist upon passing
their old age in loneliness, away from
their children, when in many cases
they have plenty of land to justify
them in following the example just
given? Or if q farmer who is getting
old has no children, he certainly
needs to have good, sympathetic white
neighbors near him, and should be
willing to sell any surplus land to Sc
cure this result.
We think that the advice, "Sel
Some Land to Good White Neigh.
bors," is good both for young farmer:
and old farmers who have more lant
than they can cultivate in really
scientific and creditablc fashion. But
the advice applies especially to Older
farmers.
