Fayette County is seeing better times
than it has seen for a number of years,
and the difference is due largely to the
fact that farmers are raising their feeds
and foods more largely than ever before
together with some hogs, cattle. and
other live stock for sale. Where there
was found years ago one who raised
these things he was always a prosper
GUS and well to do citizen. and in extend
ing the number of such farmers the
prosperity of the whole county is seen.
OF course the increased price of cotton
counts for much, but If feeds and foods
had to be bought at present prices as
they formerly were, the increased pri-
ces Of cotton would very soon be absor-
bed in larger increases in prices of corn,
hay, meat. and other such necessities.

The rise in cotton prices recently has
caused many bales to be sold. Several
hundred bales have been sold in Somer-
vile in the past two weeks and it con-
tinues to come to market. Every indi.
cation is that the market will continue
to advance, as the natural thing seems
it should do. We still have full faith
in the price going much higher than il
now is, probably higher than it was
last November. just as soon as it car

Two stock men from Illinois have
been in this county several days buying
ing hogs to ship north for pasturage
thru the summer and feeding in the
fall on corn. Think Of the changed con-
ditions in this county. Five years ago
a man might have spent a month get
ting together a smaller number of such
hogs in the county, but today, after as
many cars of fat hogs have been shipped
from Somerville in a month as the
whole county formerly shipped in year,
men can gather a couple of cars Of
feeders and not make a showing toward
lessening the large number of hogs in
the county. These gentlemen were
here recently buying cattle for pastur-
age and feeding in Illinois and at that
time saw SC. many hogs that they were
encouraged to make this trip for the
purpose stated. Good for. such changes
as.these in our land. S sz \ @Ssz

A recent statement from the Labor

the labor demand in the south is jus

has based its figures upon city cond

ditions, for. turnout the. country there
is yet scarcity of labor andindications

We are still wondering at the idess
of a congress that planned the present
tax laws Of the National Government.
That congress claimed to be fixing these
taxes so. as to get them from those
most able topay them. but when man
must add ten per cent to his necessary
fire insurance premium. and the same
to bis life insurance premium. and hun.
dreds Of other direst necessaries Of life,

said the tax comes from those NEST abe

because the merchant adds them to the
cost Of his goods and the consumer foots
the bill, not the merchant. He adds
telephone and telegraph costs to his
expense account to be covered by bis
profits, as he does bis FIRE insurance.
and man who rents adds il to his in
creased rent, and in the endit all goes to
the ultimate user. If these taxes are
levied to reach the man most able to
pay, We hardly see it, and revisions
coald be made to divide it much more
between the classes.

iIThe Falcon editor has gone about al
over Fsyette county in the past six
weeks and has made vigorous enquiry
into the labor situation. and it has been
found the uniform condition that white
boys on the farms returning from camps
and from France have entered upon
their duties as usual for the spring time,
while negroes in a very large majority
after returning are loafing and refusing
to work. IL is a very dangerous stu
alton. the older colored people should
join the whites to enforce Capt. John
Smiths Virginia policy of Pioneer days,
"He who will not work shall not eat. .

of the extra $50 given by Government
on the discharge of each soldier. Spring
time in Fayette county is always bus,

Master Robert Hurst was ten years old Monday, and many of his young friends are glad that he was, because they testify to a most joyous afternoon spent at his home celebrating the happy occasion of this birthday. Besides the oldtime favOrite games, ever new to children, a a fun-provoking part of the program was pinning of the dOnkey's tail on to a "tail-less y representation of that animal placed upon the wall. Miss Mill dred Riner, while blindfolded, succeeded in pinning the tail nearest in place, and so won the prize. Lurah May Chaney re- ceived the "booby" prize.

 "The negro, with his labor, can become a dynamic power. Regular work, careful work, patience, honesty, truthfulness, reliability, loyalty and harmo- nious living, in due regard to the social lines drawn in order to keep each race distinct and pure, are the ingredients which will compose the bomb that will render asunder any dark clouds that may have over OverShadOWed us in the past, and let the sunshine of a right eous public sentiment shine through and work miracles for an appreciative serving people," !"
