The white people are beginning to
realize that life termer is danger
Gus type of negrqfor even if 1T was a
negro whom he i4lled he is liable to
escape or receive d pardon and give
more trouble and as like as not hurt
some white person. Anyway the
white people have all the law ln their
own hands. We officer the courts
both in way of electing and serving
it's positions. We compose the ju-
ries and largely the attorneys. In
fact always the prosecuting counsel.
So we owe it to the negro race to
protect them one against another
and its only by the wholesome exam
pie OF hemp stretching that those OF
this child-ike race can be impressed
with the need of res pecting the life
and limb OF even the black folks or
else suffer the ignominious death on
the gibbet which hanging implies.
The state will get plenty OF negro
convicts without sparing cold blood
ed negro murderers who deserve
death penalty for their crime against
those of their own race.

Present High Salary Law Expires
Automatically April I, 1922.

West Point Leader.
In regard to the present salaries
of state and county officials 1t will
be well to note one or two things:
First thar the act by which these
salaries were increased reads in
part as follows: The salaries fixed
by this act shall remain in force un-
till April /. 1922. and no longer, "
so it will be seen that if the legis-
lators when they meet next year
must reenact this statute or enact
a new one, otherwise the law of 1915
would again become operative. We
believe the sentiment of the MAORI
ty of the voters is opposed to the
present high salaries but if they
want the law repealed they will have
to say so and say it strongly or the
present legislature will re-enact a
tighter one. On the other hand 1T
is foolish to hold it against county
official for accepting higher salary
when it is handed to him without
any solicitation on his part.

ed this year as the boil weevil came
back last year with vengeance and
the poor outlook for prices at plant
ing time with unfavorab,e seasons
in the Spring, all acted to discour-
age planting the fleecy staple. Its
true that there was some held over
cotton and bales of this have travel
led to Mobile and other cotton mar
kets since the price got close round
zoe. Its true also that there was
some cotton held by Greene County
people in warehouses 10 Mobile and
other cities, which has possibly been
sold under the advance. This has
and is helping a little but not so
much So Greene County will have
to derive most of its benefits from
the Cotton Rise in way OF it acting
as influential factor in making other
commodities bring better prices and
scattering money around so as to
have conducted in general way to-
wards more prosperous condition.
