NEGROES NOT FARING WELL.
Emigrants to Cold North Find 1hat
Climate is Not Agreeable to Them.

Things are not going we'll with all
of the Southern negroes who have
gone north, says Greenwood dis
patch. A we'll known conductor on
the Charleston and Western Carolina
railway stated to some Greenwood
men Yesterday that he had counted
so far thirty coffins Of dead nesroes
brought back from the north in the
last three months. The severe winter
is expected to be even more tata' to
them. Mr.. ]. Brown Bailey, of Green
wood, who lives in Pittsburg, in a pri-
vate letter some days ago mentioned
that things were not going we'll with
the Southern negroes by big wages.
He said one hundred and sixty-five
had been arrested and heavily fined
the past week for being drunk and
disorderly. Evidently the prosperity
of big wages was too much for them.
The winter has not begun yet and it
is thought that not being used to such
severe weather it will be the cause OF
the death of many of them.

Describing Eternity.

A colored preacher was trying to
impress upon his congregation the
length of eternity.
"If a sparrow, bredden, should
take a drop of water from the At
lantic ocean at Coney Island and with
the drop of water in his beak should
hop a hop a day until he reaches the
Pacific ocean at San Francisco and
when he got there should let the drop
fall into the Pacific, and when this
was done should turn round and hop
hop a day all the way back to Coney
Island, get another drop and do the
same thing all over, and keep on do
ing the very same thing until he had
carried the whole Atlantic ocean over
into the Pacific it would then be only
early morning in eternity. Los An

Long Staple in Boil Weevil Territory

A reader wishes to know if there
is long staple cotton which is as
early as the King group of varieties
king, Simpkins, Broadwell, Mitch
ell, etc. He says he has few boil
weevils this fall and wants to know
if he can safely plant his regular long
staple variety he has been growing.
There is probably no long staple
variety of cotton quite as early as
the early short staple varieties men
toned. Some of them may fruit
as early, although this is somewhat
doubtful. The long staple varieties
usually have larger, thick-hulled
bolls which are probably less likely
to be damaged when their. growth is
considerably advanced. While the
earliest of the long staple cottons are
probably not quite so early as the
short varieties named, a long staple
variety, like Express, for instance, is
nearly as early and possesses other
qualities which probably make it as
good a boil weevil variety as the
shorter varieties mentioned. There
can be no question, but the farmers
of the rich alluvial lands of the Mis-
sissippi valley have decided that a
variety like Express is better for
them, even under boil weevil infes-
tation, than the small boiled short
cottons of the King type.
1t is quite possible that different
soil and climatic conditions may
slightly change the growth and ma
turity of different varieties, but the
Mississippi Valley, whence our in
quiry comes, has tried and largely
rejected the short cottons of the
King type and are now quite gen
orally growing varieties that will
make a staple of better than an inch
in length. Of course, this applies
more particularly to the northern
half of the cotton belt-but it is
true even in the boil weevil infested
territory.
If our inquirer only had few boil
weevils this fall and they came rath-
er late in the season he is reason
ably safe from severe boil weevil in
jury next season. If, however, the
winter is unusually mild and the
month Of July is wet his crop may
suffer severe injury by the weevils
next year. In the average year, they
are likely to lessen the yield some,
but the not likely to prevent the prof
liable growing of cotton if prices are
right. But the third year, or year
after next, 1918, he is likely to have
a heavy infestation of weevils unless
the winter of 1916-17 or 1917-1S is
very severe and summer conditions
are also unfavorable to the weevils.

Washington, Dec. lO.-Pride In the
achievements Of the navy since the
United States entered the war Is the
keynote Of the annual report Of Sec
rotary of the Navy Daniels, made pub
lie today.
The report Is carefully worded, so
that no bit of Information that might
be of benefit to the enemy may be
communicated by IL. The report OF
the general board Of the navy, which
has been charged with seeking solu-
lions To- the submarine menace and
other grave problems. Is suppressed
In Its entirety. Only the general ques-
lions considered 10y the board are
given. In the sccrctary's report II
few facts come to light that have
not before been printed. hut none Is
of great Importance.
Secretary Daniels himself sums M
the report in these words:
an the navy we hive prepared for
and have met the duties Of the pres.
ent we are preparing for and are
confident we will he able to meet any
call for greater duties. for more ex-
acting responsibilities. The hest way

Preparation for impending and ac-

to supply the largest fleets, and the
study of new agencies to be employed
In war without precedent.
The cO-ordlnating OF our efforts with
those OF the countries with which we
are aligned In the war.
The carrying on Of offensive opera

opponents.
Providing safe passage for ships
charged with the duty OF transport

Maintaining available naval forces
in a state of readiness for battle.
Providing additional fighting units

Training personnel to man the new

manning the merchant marine.
Since the beginning Of the war 745

In the early days Of the war by the
eagerness with which young America
responded TO the call for naval re-
cruits.
