Much is being said nowadays
about the Negro and his organiza-
tons. He is being told that he has
too many organizations, that they
overlap duplicate, that they are poor
~ formed and that they waste his
time and get him nowhere.
No one can deny this existence Of
a great number Of organizations
among the Negro--tkose already in
existence and the scores springing
up constantly But this multiplicity
of organizations Is no surprise when
we consider the limited and inferior
experience OF the race. its peculiar
temperament and its peculiar environ
ment. The charges OF super album
dance, OF duplication, Of wasted time
and energy. of ineffective organiza-
ton and methods OF procedure are
based on facts, no doubt; but an
atoning feature Is the motive be-
hind these organizations-the pur-
poses that brings them into being.
This purpose Is fundamentally the
consciousness OF the race that II must
get together for protection and pro-
gress.
The things which handicap and
wreck these organizations are very
patent; they are ill-advised methods
of procedure. q vague conception OF
aims and a vague knowledge OF the
situation. impotence for results. the
putting OF self above race and the
determination to accomplish personal
ends at the expense Of every inter-
est of the race, clannishness, en-
phasis upon oratory and parliament
tary rules, and the disposition of
some egotist TO shine.
But time, experience. increasing
intelligence and race interest. neces-
sity and pressive will gradually elm
mate all Of these Objectionable feat
ures. and there will be among us
fewer and better organization for
racial hplift-
It has been the experience of both
ancient and modern nations that Or
ganizations either fail to accomplish
very much or anything at all or are
changed into one OF few stronger
organizations.

UNITED STATES DETACHMENT OF
AGRICULTURE, BUREAU OF
CROP ESTIMATES.
The Texas Cotton Crop.

Supplemental Estimate of the con-
dition on Oct. rs, 1919. as Directed
by Congress.
BY F. N. Gray, Texas Cotton Crop
Specialist, Bureau of Crop Esti-
mates, United States Department
OF Agriculture.
Torrential rains and summer tenn
peratures in October, have materially
reduced the condition of the Texas
Cotton Crop, since date of last re-
port, September rs, 1919, the con-
dition now being 46 per cent of
normal compared with 81 last month.
Excessive and almost continuous
rains fell over a greater part of the
cotton growing area of the State, es-
pecially over the eastern half, where
the condition had already been much
reduced, because of insect ravages.
These rains were particularly heavy
in the center and north districts,
causing streams to inundate lands,
cotton to sprout in the bolls and
open cotton to be beaten from the
plant and to decay upon the ground.
In the west half Of the State, how
ever, composed mostly of the west
center and northwest districts, where
the condition last month was within
is per cent of a normal. condition of
almost normal, has now been at
tanned, despite the rains. which have
affected these districts also, but only
to the extent of damaging or low
ering the grades of the staple. The
gain in condition being attributable
to uninterrupted growth, freedom
from insect ravages and lateness of
frost, which had not as yet affected
any part of the Texas cotton crop.
Picking over the entire State had
been very much delayed by the con-
tinuous rains.
The estimate above has been made
in consequence of the following resi-
luton passed by Congress:
Resolved by the Senate and House
Of Representatives of the United
States. -of America in Congress as
sembled, that the Secretary of Agri-
culture is here authorized and direct
ed to prepare and publish not later
than November 2, 1919, supplement
tai estimate of the cotton crop as of
date Of October 25, 1919"
Inasmuch as similar reports have
not been made regularly in the past,
no comparison Of the condition on
October rs this year can be made
with condition on same date in past
years, and can afford no basis Of a
forecast of production.
A review Of the monthly condition
figures this year for Texas and the
ten year averages, are shown below:
May rs, rs, ten year average 80;

Substitute For Nuxated Iron
Case Is Brought To Attention of Physicians
Who Warn Public

be sure to look on the label and see that the
words NUXATED IRON are printed there
on.
There are thousands of people taking iron
who do not distinguish between organic
iron and metallic iron and such persons
often fail to obtain the vital energy, strength
and endurance which they seek simply be-
cause they have taken the wrong form of
iron. If you are not strong or well, you
owe it to yourself to make the following
test: See how long you can work or how
far you can walk without becoming tired.
Next take two hve-grain tablets of Nuxated
Iron three times per day after meals for
two weeks. Then test your strength and see
how much you have gained.

Sumter county citizens read with

"This route which shortens the
