FIGURES SHOW PROSPERITY
AMONG NEGRO COTTON PICKERS
Earn Ten Million Dollars Year Gath
ering the Staple. Own Million
and a Half Acres of Land.

Some interesting figures recently
put out by Martin V. Calvin, statistl-
clan from the state department of ag-
iculture, indicate that the money earn
ed by Georgia negro women and chill
dren in harvesting so per cent OF the
states cotton crop since 1903 is most
important economic factor, and that II
the negro population thus concerned
had been as frugal and as saving. as
Japs or Chinese he chances are that
they now would be owning a large
proportion of the best cotton lands OF
the state.
AS it is, the figures show that the
negroes have done pretty well. Mr..
Calvin's report says that in 1907 the
negro women and children of Georgia
earned $8,371,447 picking cotton, and
in 1913 $10,558,065.
A good deal of these earnings
seems to have gone into land, as ne
groes owned 100000 acres of farm
land in 1907, and by 1919 the amount
had risen to 100000, while the doz-
en- years from 1907 to 1919 their live
stock investments had increased 1O4.6
per cent, they owning in the last year
live stock to the value of SIP, 443, 682.
In the same period Georgia negroes
increased their property valuations
from $25,904,822 to $54,858, 3O1-a gain
of 112 per cent in land and household
furniture.

Government Obligated.
The government has been obligated
to continue the $75,000,000 monthly
rental payment which was in effect
during the federal control, as welT as
to meet deficits not covered by the
rental amount, sustained by the indi'
vidual carriers. Included in the
charges which will fall on the treas
ury in these deficits is that portion
of the 100000 wage award covering
labor costs from May l to September

was officially estimated at $206,OOO,

Washington, Jan. 6.-Disposition was evidenced by leaders of all Sen ate factions today to await President Wilson's message to the Jackson Day dinner of Democratic leaders, Thurs day before taking any further action in the German peace treaty situation.
 While numerous individual and in formal conferences continued today between senators, spokesmen of the various groups said they did not ex- pect any move in the Senate until after President Wilson's letter is made public.
 The only new development today in the treaty controversy was the inau- guration of discussion between few Democrats and mild reservation" Re- publicans of modified reservations said to have been prepared by Sena- tor Kendrick, Democrat, of Wyoriing, The draft of these reservations was said to have been presented to Sena- tor McNary, Republican, of Oregon, and others of the mild reservation" Republican group. The proposed mod ifications, it was said, had not been submitted to Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, acting Democratic leader Senator Underwood of Alabama, Sen ator Swanson of Virginia or other Democratic leaders.
