NEGROES
WARMED
LEAVING

New Madrid, Mo-, Feb. 2o.-As a re-
suit Of warnings by might riders" that
they must leave the district before
Tuesday morning, nearly 800 negroes
left New Madrid last. night and this
morning. Possibly many more are pre-
pairing to depart befort the time limit
expires. Thus far there has been no
violence. .. ~.
The trouble between the whites and
the negroes seems to have had its ORR
gin in the land rental system. Last
December the whites demanded a re-
duction of from $6 to So per acre. The
negroes were content to continue pay
ing $6 and when the new rent con-
tracts were drawn up in January, mere
negroes than ever were given places on
farms Discomfort among the poor
whites was followed by posting notices
for the negroes to leave.
