WELLS MAY SUCCEED
GUTHRIE In COURT

In the contest for the office of poll
tax collector to succeed Miss Lydia
Douglass, which is between Jerome f.
Richards and Dave Wells, city pay-
master, the hackers of Richards are
offering to bet that Wells will not get
10 out Of the 80 votes in the county
court.
Owing to the appointment of F. NJ.
Guthrie by Gov. Roberts as probate
Judge, and his approaching election to
that position next Saturday by the
county court. his place as a magistrate
from the Seventh civil district must be
filled.
II is generally understood that Dave
Wells will make the race to succeed
Guthrie as magistrate. Many living In
that district are espousing the cause
OF Richards against Wells for poll tax
collector, but at the same time they
would not object to Wells as a magis-
trate, and it therefore seems possible
that he may run to succeed Guthrie
without opposition.

NECESSITY TO CUT
ACREAGENDELTA
Labor Scarcer in Rich Land
Section Than Ever Be-
fore Known.

More food-and -fesd-and . less - cotton
missionaries need waste no time work
ing on the great Mississippi delta coun-
try.
There will be a smaller proportion
ate acreage In cotton and a greater
acreage in food and feed crops than
ever before. Mr.. Negro, or rather his
absence, has assured that. Planters
In Memphis from that section during
the past few days all agree that there
is less labor in the delta in proportion
to the demand than has been true at
any other time for the past quarter
OF d century. In some cases planta-
tions Of considerable size had almost
a complete hegira at the end Of the
last crop season. Large plantations
lost tremendous percentages Of their
labor.
With March past, there is not a
chance TO secure enough labor to plant
a full cotton acreage, and as one man
can cultivate so many more acres in
corn and hay than he can in cotton,
there will be more diverslfication than
at any time since the years OF low
prices.
The one qualification for a success
full delta planter above all others has
labor, Before the days Of the boil
weeyil the delta men made raids on
the Hill country for labor. Later Peg
Williams brought labor in by thou
sands from Alabama, Georgia and the
Carollnas until and still later when
the boil weevil got to Baton Rouge
the planters went there for labor and
got streams Of labor turned in their
direction from the country that suf-
fered from the weevil invasion.
Now. however, labor can live and
be profitable in the weevil districts
Of Mississippi; negro renters and even
share troopers made enough in one
season to buy or rent free land for
themselves; many went to the war
industry plants and hence, with the in
c~reasing demand from opening OF new
land and the two former sources Of
supply closed, the delta is shorter than
ever before in labor.
Reports from Arkansas, however, are
not so bad a. from Mississippi The
natural western and northern migration
Of negroes from Mississippi has helped
them out.
