FAYETTEVILLE.

Mr.. Britt Washington and his sis
ter, Mrs. Joice Washington Kelso,
left last week for Ohio. Others will
leave this week. AS we go from one
place to the other we meet great
discussion as to the Negro migration.
There is quite a diversity of opinion.
Some argue in favor of it. some
against it, but we don't think 50
strangely about it for people to go
where they can command better
wages. Many of them have gone and
found wages a great deal better.
Some report they are getting as high
as S. day in mills and factories,
and none are getting less than $500
a day. We don't know this is true,
hut have been told by very good peo-
pie. In our travel we hear many
who argue that the migration is for
revenge. But we, the agent, don't
thing that is true. We think if all
things were equal they would rather
remain, for the South is our home
and we love it; but low wages and
mistreatment in some states, poor
school; in the rural districts the
school advantages are very poor,
though places where. we journey
some do not receive three months of
schooling during a year, for the
school houses are in such bad shape
that they cannot attend regularly,
but can only go when the weather is
good and the teachers are so poorly
paid that nothing but Jack legs ac-
cept the positions, for the salaries
paid to colored teachers are not as
much as that paid to common field
hand. After children have gone to
these teachers they are no better of
than they were when they started.
We think these are some of the
things that have caused the move
ment of going north. Now we are
rot speaking of this state for we
don't travel through this state very
much. We will give more on the sub
ject in our next write-up. Read the
Globe each week. Mrs. Maud (White)
Donegan Of Huntsville. Ala, formerly
of this place was called here last
week to the sick bed of her father and
mother, Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. White.

Rye and Mayor Ewing, the students OF
Pearl have enlisted in the "Army OF
the burrows" and will do their part

country. Prof. White is an expert on
agriculture and he gave the pupils
some valuable information on "Soils
and how to prepare them for home

children what to plant and the best
time to plant certain vegetables. His
description of hardy plants" tender
plants" and shade plants" and the
preparation of the soil for them was
helpful to both teachers and pupils
At the conclusion of his address,, vote
of thanks was extended him.

got opposite Bell recognized him in the
moonlight. having seen Mussleman once
before. Bell threw his gun on the mur-

dense growth of underbrush, and he

several days without danger of being dis
covered. AS the general suppOsition pre-

Mr.. Bell is to be commended for the

A Bridge Sadly Needed.

For long time the people living at the
Ellis Forde Orchard Tracts on the White
stone Flat and in the vicinity have been
hogan river at Ellisforde, but so far have
been unable to induce the county commis-
sioners to act. These people have much
and from one side of the river to the
other. and it is now necessary to use an
uncertain ferry boat. or make the long
haul to Oroville or Tonasket in order to
cross ON bridge This works a tremen-
dous hardship to a large community. and
naturally considerable dissatisfaction Is
felt with the commissioners. A bridge to
answer all purposes could be built for
$4,000, or in that neighborhood. and as
that is the kind of bridge that was granted
Oroville over the Okanogan river, the
E,llisforde people could get along with the
same kind of crossing, and would be
thankful for it. These people do not ask
for an expensive bridge, and that is not
necessary to meet an imperative demand
for a crossing.

1t is not intended to convey the idea that
a fortune can be made from milking a few

ing a few cows and marketing the cream
insures a certain and steady monthly in

a dozen good cows and disposed of the
product at the local creamery he would be
assured of considerable cash income

nice thing to handle. More attention should
