NEGRO IS DAZED BY WAVE OF MODERN PROSPERITY

loaded his family and drove proudly to his little farm several miles from the city.
 A writer in the Arkansas Demo- crat relates the following incidents concerning the negro and prosper ity:
 Speaking of cars, this 20cent cotton isn't making automobile salesmen at all angry, so far is visible to the naked eye It's an unfortunate negro planter who can't afford gasoline wagon this fall "Brother" Charles Simon knows a big planter who was approached for advice by one of his negro tenants the other day. The negro had been to town with load of cotton, and his pockets were filled with cur rency. He wanted to know wheth CT he ought to buy Q big car or "fliyver" for his personal use.
 'I advised him to buy the big car" the planter told Brother" simply because l knew if he bought the small one there'd be so much money left in his pocket he'd be feeling too independent to do the fall work around the place. As it is, he'll have to do a little work to feel justified in drawing on me for his gasoline and eats.
 Adolph Jacobson says high priced cotton has made his negro tenants entirely too independent to suit him. "One of 'em came around the other day" Adolph says, with his pockets bulging and his head rear ed back, and told me he guessed he'd stay on my place next year, but I'd have to provide riding blows so he could take it easy l told him to find a place that suited him and move there. And by George, he said he would, just like that. Can you beat t?"
