Attention Landlords and Bust
ness Men.

THE BEACON wishes to call attention
TO the meeting called Monday, Septem-
Der 23rd at II O'Clock a. m. at the
Court House. We consider this the
most important Mass Meeting ever
held in this county. The prosperity Of
the farming interests and that covers
the entire county and every interest in
it is involved
In these war times, when so much Of
our labor is employed either directlJ or
indirectly in industries supporting the
war. when our most effective and ac'
tive Young men have been called to the
colors, it is absolutely necessary to re-
adjust our business methods,
Since the civil war we have had a
haphazard and most unsatisfactory rem
tai system. The prevalent system has
been a money rental, so mu"h per acre.
The average rent per acre in this coun-
tv has been SO 90 per acre when cotton
was worth eight TO ten cents per pound.
Now that cotton is bringing thirty three
cents per pound, the landlord at the
above rental il not receiving four per
cent on his Investment. The high cost
of work stock. agricultural implement,
food: seed, and the great advance ~
the land values, make it imperative
that the land lord share in the higher
prices received for agricultural pro
ducts.
All other sections Of Mississippi have
rental based on a part of the crop
The Mississippi Delta, North Mlssis
sippi and Arkansas have a yearly rem
tai of one third of the products grow
or the land. The Texas plan OF on'
third of the corn and one fourth OF tn
cotton seed il a favorite in some sec
tons of Mississippi.
This rental of part Of the crop seem
TO be fair and just between land lor
anu NtllhilI, iIlIN lb'h N'i"' - ''N' '''
alike in good crops and prices and bao
It is contended on the part of SON
thst land lords would prefer a none
rent as they would not be present t
check up and get their share of a ret
tai based on a part Of the crop. TIM
could be met by renting for a none
rent per acre Of say $500 per acr
based on cotton being twelve cents o.
under per pound and a proportional,
advance in the rent for every cents nd.
vance above twelve cents
THE BEACON believes that n fair anc
just rental system between land lore
and tenant can be arrived at in Thu
meeting .and we trust every business
man in the county will be present and
cooperate to this eud. Labor will be
very short this pcxt year, but there
will be enough to do business on a war
basis, if we will co operate.
