THE FARMERS LONG HOURS

In behalf of the farmers who want to 'strike"
for shorter hours and continuing high prices, by
cutting down their acreage of cultivation, it is
urged that they toll and sweat many hours longer
than other laborers; that they, their wives, sons
and daughters work ten, twelve or fourteen hours
with never a thought of overtime or extra paw:
that it they did not do this in order to get the
fields ploughed, the crops cultivated and the har-
vests gathered within the limited time given them
by the swiftly changing seasons they could not
bring forth natures wealth and feed and clothe
the Millions; that if they did not do this they
would produce only the food, the wool and the cot
ton needed for themselves, and the public would
go naked and starve-a public including the min
ers, shopmen and other city laborers who continue
to strike for shorter hours as we'll as HIGHER nav.
All this is true-literally. But justice de-
mands the recognition of an important difference
between the farmer and the city laborer. The lat
ter is a mere wage Garner, while the farmer is a
capitalist as we'll as a laborer. owning his plant
and conducting his own business. Nor is he the
tarlly and for gain works ten, twelve or fourteen
hours a day. Thousands of others in many lines
do this year after year. Perhaps it is true that
no one ought to work more than eight hours a day,
but the average man in business for himself who
is unwilling to work more is not likely to succeed
The farmer, indeed, is more fortunate than the
average long-day working capitalist because he
enjoys a winter of comparative rest after the rush
seasons are over.

TWO PROPHECIES.

Sir Rider Haggard warns the nations of Eu-
rope and America that, unless they reform in the
matter of "race suicide or birth control, two
centuries hence their depleted ranks will yield be-
fore the teeming and ever-increasing populations
of the East. Though the distinguished English
man calls attention to a great and threatening
evil, the figures for the past century can hardly
be said to support his representation. According
to the statisticians, during the past hundred
years Asia increased its population about 40 per
cent, Europe 144 per cent and the Americans
nearly 700 per cent-immigration of course add
ing vastly to natural increases in the western
hemisphere. 1t is estimated that the natural in
creage of Europe and the Americans together was
about 200 per cent to only 140 per cent for Asia.
Apparently Asia's larger birth rate is more than
offset by it's much larger death rate, and so it will
have to become more civilized, sanitary and prof.
tably industrial before it can overtake even a de-
Ginning western world.
Sir Rider Haggard's prophecy calls to mind that
of Sir William Crooke, who more than twenty
years ago predicted starvation would face the
world within a quarter of a century because the
increase in wheat production could not keep pace
with increase in population. Wheat production
has kept the pace and no doubt will continue to
do so, that staple being substituted for less i'm
perative crops in the distant time when all the
land is under cultivation. There will continue to
be a great supply of babies also. Of course as
heretofore a selfish desire to shirk life's duties
will cause society to die at the top, but society at
and near the bottom will continue to be fruitful
and send up thence the new leaders and rulers of
men.

BETTER RAILWAY
SERVICE COMING
of Commerce Announces I'm
proved Conditions On Y. & NJ. V.
Promised At Early Date.

The Chamber of Commerce takes
great pleasure in announcing to the
people of Greenwood that improved
train service on the Y. & & M. v.
may be expected at an early day. The
new service will practically grant all
that has been asked, including
through sleeper car service between
Greenwood and New Orleans.
Nothing the Y. & M. V. R. R. could
do would contribute more to the graft
fication of the people of this entire
section than the contemplated inn
provement in the passenger service.
Fortunately, it is coming none to soon,
as feeling over present conditions,
n failure to grant any relief in the
fall and winter schedules recently an
nounced, was becoming very tense.
Now if the Y. & M. v. and the l. c..
will drop their efforts to force a lot
of arbitrary and radical changes in
our transit privileges, backed more
upon theory than fact, calculated to
work far more injury on others than
any possible benefit they can derive,
and out of line with marketing condi-
lions, and their WI rules and regula-
tions governing the shipment of cot
ton, we will feel once more like we
are back in the good will and grace Of
old observation-disclosures
workmanship friends.
This is not the time for radical
changes to be made in rates and regu-
l~ations, formerly established by these
roads themselves, and upon, which in
good faith and reliance, in this COM
munity alone, twenty millions of dol
lars have been invested, changes that
would practically dynamite this and
other communities of comparative
size and Importance. Before pressing
the matter further those who are per-
sistently pushing these proposed
changes would do we'll to confer per-
sonally with the communities whose
interests are thus abruptly jeopar-
died. If such changes are necessary,
some plan of bringing them about
gradually, and giving business inter-
ests and investments time to adjust
themselves, should be adopted. The
roads do need more and will
need more, but no effort should be
made to obtain this by attempting to
redress real or imaginary ills by
means calculated to wreck established
business communities. This is nei-
Their the time nor the manner in
which such Irregularities should be
corrected. Such help as roads may
need should be asked for and granted,
in the manner least calculated to dis
turb present business relations, as
was done in the case of the rs per
cent. increase.
