COTTON PicKEps LuRfD ny
TALES OF HIGH PRICES

Monday morning Of this week
there we're near q hundred cotton
pickers landed ut Lubbock. The Big

negroes who as they say "had been

average price being paid now here rs
81 90 per hundred and board, but
many Of these men heard only OF the
S3.5O per hundred and board, whiie
others claimed that more money than
that was offered here. When asked
WHY they had not come here earlier
one Of the negroes replied: "See boss
ioze white men down home wooden
let us come till we picked all theirn

where the negroes are plentiful,
would scare many Of them about
coming here and told them that as
the negro said Dem white folks out
