score Of wounds, was found cram

Brooklyn.
The body was branded with the
type of wound used by certain Sc
cret societies Of the blank hand"

Rental System in NOxubes.

At a mass meeting Of landlords OF
Noxubee county, Mississippi, held at
the court house in Macon last Monday,
the following resolution was adopted:
THAT it is the sense of this meeting
that their should be material change
in the rentals of our farm lands in Nox-
ubee county on account of the new con-
ditions.
That the most fair and equitable rem
tai between landlard and tenant that
can be reached would be a rental OF
one-fourth of the seed cotton and one
third of other crops. That an equita-
BILE participation in the benefits and
sharing of losses between tenant and
landlord will be reached in this way as
in no other.
That. in the event the landlord and
tenant desire to rent on cash basis,
thatEa just and equitable arrangement
would be to make the rent the same
that it was before the new conditions
set in, and the landlord participate in
proportion to the new prices. That is
to say:
That as a basis, to be varied accord
ing to the fertility of the soil, rent Of
So an acre be charged on the basis OF II
cent cotton, to be raised or lowered &C.
cording to the market price OF cotton,
and the rent note to state that in the
event of crop disaster the landlord tt
make an equitable settlement with hi
tenant"
No iron-clad rule could be laid down.
no pledging to follow could be signed BY
all landlords but a custom in thi'
matter should be established that will
be just to both landlord and tenants
and the citizens assembled in this mas
meeting were of the unanimous opinion
that it is absolutely necessary and just
right, fair and equitable that the land
lords of Noxubee should share in the in
creased values of farm products, es
pecially since the purchasing value O
money is not more than one half. Thi'
plan was presented to the farmers O
Noxubee so that it could be underston'
by all and adapted by all to their spec
ial conditions, recognizing that ther
J must be some unity of action.in a mat
