PIONEER IN PEANUTS.

The peanut, long regarded as Il sim
pie but necessary accompaniment TO
attendance AT the circus, has now at
tanned Importance as commercial
product, the annual production in this
country being placed mt S40,O0O0OO.
The peanut industry now has journal
devoted to giving it publicity; while
fifty-eight different products are
enumerated as resulting from this
plant
The peanut is regarded as of Afri-
can origin and the first peanut picker
and vender in Virginia was of that
race, his name being Ben Hicks. He
not only made the culture Of the
ground nut popular but he invented
and patented II machine for picking
the nuts, as well as IL peanut planter
and II manure distributor This ma
chine was operated so successfully as
to gather more nuts in a day than
fifty field hands could pick in Il week.
Unfortunately the inventor received
hut little profit from ii, as he was in
duced to surrender his patents to those
furnishing the capital for promotion
and soon found himself frozen out of
the combination.
The peanut is also known as the
ground pea and the ground nut, and in
some of the Southern States is called
the goober and the pindar. Immense
quantities are produced on the west
coast of Africa and it is also largely
grown in South America Its chief
use was for making oil, but ii is now
used for consumption in many shapes,
peanut butter and confections being
the most generally known. Two large
factories one ut Birmingham, Ala, and
the other mt Albany, Ga, are engaged
in the manufacture of machines based
on the idea originating with Ben Hicks,
the pioneer in the peanut production.

OUR CoNGESTED CITIES.

I'm OUR recent travels through the
East we took marked observa-
- tions of the conditions and the
progress of our people in some of
the larger cities, notably Chicago,
Pittsburg, Philadelphia, Washington
and Baltimore, where the larger col
ored population. as a rule, exists.
In some of these cities the colored
population is amazingly large, num-
bering in some instances over one
hundred thousand Negro inhabitants.
1t appears that the great migration
in recent years from the Southland
has been, in most part, to the above
named cities.
We find large increase of Negro
business of all kinds and, generally
speaking, the great ma ajority of these
Negroes are employed here and there
in many different employments. The
great Eastern railroad systems give
employment to thousands as section
hands and again many are en-
ployed in stockyards and ware
houses and all along the line of COM
mon labor. They are paid far better
wages than they received in the
South and naturally they are spend
ing accordingly. with no thought of
saving, except in few cases. In a
large measure the colored business
receives liberal amount of patron
F,nr ri nf 10 moi
and a constant volume of money is
kept in circulation, but only to re-
turn soon to the very source from
which it comes.
To illustrate, take the man who is
employed in the stockyards. He re-
ceives his pay at the end of the week
and he pays his meat bill at the
butchers. The butcher takes that
money and pays the packing house
where he bought the meat that was
prepared for the market by this same
Negro laborer. He goes to the shoe
store and buys his wife and child and
himself a pair of shoes each. The
shoe merchant pays the manufactur.
err for his goods with the laborer's
money; the manufacturer takes this
same money and pays for the hides
at the packing house. So it goes on
and on through the channels of COM
merce and each man who has han
died or received the Negro laborer' S
money has made large profit for
himself. What has the Negro to
show for his labor? Nothing but a
rundown pair of shoes and the
memory OF a beef stake. That brings
us to the all-important and para
mount proposition of producer and
consumer. If tenth even of these
Negroes who congregate in the large
cities would come West and locate
on a tract of government land and
raise sheep, hogs and cattle and be-
come producers instead of all con-
sumers we might soon get some
where. THE COLORADO STATES
MAN advises these people to come
!; West and become producers.

SON GRADUATES MOTHER
FROM RURAL SCHOOL
Lawrence c. Jones of "The Piney
Woods Country Life School, Pulls
off Unique Commencement.

BraNtOn. Miss, June 24.-The word,
commencement. always brings To the
mind music and flowers and oratOry,
but down in the Piney Woods. LHu-
renee G. Jones and his school have
given il II new meaning. Along with
music and flowers and oratory. he has
added the clang of the anvil, the
pounding of the gasoline engine. the
ring of the hammer and the song of
the saw.
The boys and girls who graduated
not only delivered their graduation
speeches, hut demonstrated them mt
the same time. One boy made IL batch
of cement and formed block while
talking. another welded n tire for Il
wheel. making sparks fly over the
chapel. A girl made up n batch of
bread and baked il, another measured
II girl and cut and fit dress. While
the audience was watching the bread
baker and dressmaker, another girl
demonstrated many practical and use
fus articles the new rural school
teacher is required to make.
The climax of the commencement
was when the aged mother of Prin-
cipal Jones came forth and made n
broom on machinery at one end of
the platform and explained the pro
cess and showed the audience several
different kinds of broomS she had
been required to make in order 10
complete the course. The local white
friends and throng of ColOred people
burst into enthusiastic applause when
Principle Jones presented his mother

APPEALS FOR DOLLAR DRIVE.

Strong appeal for every Democratic
voter in South Carolina to get behind
the Dollar Democracy movement
made by John Gary Evans, national
committeeman from this state to- Joe
Sparks, director Of the compaign. In
his letter Mr.. Evans points out that
"ohio is just as safe as South Caro-
lima. The opinion of Mr. Evans is
based on his observations while on a
trip through the far west. He declar-
ed that It is the duty of every Demo-
crat to give as much as dollar to
help the party elect Cox and Roose-
velt. A part Of his letter follows.
"We must get up good fund this
year to show our faith. Our people
have plenty of money and there is no
reason why they should not respond;
Cox is going to be elected and we
cannot fall behind as our contribu-
tions is the only way we can help.
Everything looks bright and the
people Of the West, are enthusiastic
Ohio is as safe as South Carolina.

Submarine Crew Rescued.

The timely rescue Of the crew Of
thirt men of the United States sub
marine SIS, was a wonderful feat, and
reflected great credit upon the genius
of men who have perfected electrical
appliances and life-saving devices,
without which the rescue would have
been impossible.
When the submarine went to the
bottom a buoy was loosened from the
unfortunate craft. The buoy was pro-
vided with an electric buzzer, and the
ascertain that the imprisoned men
were alive, by simply attaching tele-
phone to the wires Of the buoy, which
was discovered by the crew of the
General Goethels. The location of the
buoy aroused suspicion that some
thing was wrong, and a boats crew
was sent to investigate, with the re-
suit that they found the buzzer active,
and the telephone did the rest.
The call of the General Goethels,
by means of its radio system. and the
picking up of the message by an ame-
teur operator at Farmington, Conn.,,
Is wonderful achievement.
When discovered the submarine had
been submerged thirty-five hours; her
machinery damaged, and the air with
in the craft nearly exhausted Of its
oxygen.
Rescue ships were soon at the scene
Of the disaster. fifty-five miles south
Of Cape Henlopen. BY means of grap-
pling irons hold was obtained upon
the stern of the submarine and it was
dargged to the suface. when hole
was bored through its plates and air
bumped through to the suffering
crew. n
All were saved and none wene in
jured,, although they had been lock-
ed for nearly two days In the hull
Of the submarine. This Is truly an.
age of wonderful achievements in
applied science.

Owing to the fact that the war de-
partment has abolished its fraud and
graft investigating sections its facili-
ties for making necessary inquiries
are now limited; but this is not to
be the end of the work Of justice, that
should bring before the courts all who
are guilty Of crimes against the gov
ernment, in its hour Of need. The
boy who did not want to go to Europe
to fight and die, was hero compared
to the scoundrels who by their crimi-
nal practices may have been the cause
of the suffering or death Of thousands
who dad 60, or who were preparing
for service overseas. The shipping
board will present additional cases,
and the courts should be busy for
some time in the prosecution OF the
men, who were greater enemies to
their country than the Huns, whom
we were forced to fight.

Egyptian Independence.

A new day is dawning.. Great Bri-
tain has recognized the independence
of Egypt; not without strings, how
ever; for Great Britain could not lift
her paw entirely from any nation or
territory upon which she placed it.
This act of Great Britain is OF in
ternational Importance, from the fact
that it marke the dawning of new
era in the worlds politics, and a de-
termination among the nations to-
carry out the intent of the treaty of
Versailles, regarding self-determina-
ton and the freedom and indepen-
dence of all nations; and this act,
conditional as it is, should be recog-
nized as the opening chapter of the
Book of Freedom frGm British rule,
and the dawning of new era Of JUS
tice and humanity.
The United States cannot be in
cluded in this Book; for the reason
that thu separation was not the free
act of the British nation, but matter
of NECESSITY.
Egypt has not it's freedom in the
sense that 1t. was given to the United
States, but it has an opening wedge,
which today amounts to freedom in
name only; yet the declaration comes
wholly unexpected, and in measure
as a result of the world war.
| Egypt was bone Of contention
among the great powers of Europe,
I and was in no small degree one of the
contributory causes of the war.
Germany wanted free access to the
Arabian Sea- Egypt was the natural
thoroughfare; but England's position
there prohibited unrestricted German
use of the portage. The natural ave
nue. was closed to all evcspt England.
Thus Germany, in her struggle for
commercial supremacy, was forced to
seek an overland route thorugh Tur-
key to the Persian Gulf; move that
irritated England, and would, had Il
been completed, have reduced her
prestige in the far East. In fact Eng
lands hold upon Egypt and the Suez
Canal might have n rendered less
secure, although she held the majority
shares in the big ditch and for
which she paid $2O,OOO,OOO in 1875.
Now that the war is over, and Great
Britain ha snothing more to fear from
Germany, she takes this first appar-
ent philanthropic step in her history,
and has declared to the world her ac-
acknowledgement of Egyptian indepen-
dence, with the understanding that a
British garrison will be maintained
in the territory to guard the Canal.
Egypt also recognizes Great Britain's
privileged position in the valley Of the
Nile, and grants to England certain
commercial and military privileges
within Egyptian territory. Egypt re-

Many Political Parties.

Since the Republican party came
into being "a years ago. ID attempts
have been made to found other new
parties and none Of them has elected
president. The closest approach
was by the Progressive party in 1912
when Roosevelt received -4,119,507
votes. The next considerable splash
was made by the Populists in 1892
when James B. Weaver polled 1,O41,-
02S votes.
In 1872 a split in the Republican
party led to the nomination Of Horace
Greeley by the Liberal Republicans
and the Democratic party" but Grant
was reelected by "a majority of more
than 100000.
-Four years later, in 1876, the Green
back party was organized and ran
Peter Cooper for president 1t was
the predecessor of the Populist move
ment. 1t ran Weaver IN 1880 and Ben
Butler in 1884; slumbered In 1883 and
came to life again in 1892 as the Peo-
pies party with Weaver its nominee
for president. -
: The prohibition party came into the
field in 1876, casting 9,522 votes for
Green Clay Smith Of Kentucky: 1t
has had a, presidential candidate in
every contest since then.
The Socialist party also has been a
frequent contender and at one time
and another we have had Socialist
labor nominees. Social Democratic
candidates, American party candi-
dates, union labor, united labor, gold
Democrat Aand independent cand-
dates. And the result has been the
same in every instance-defeat and
the election of a Republican or a
Democratic president.
