Farmers Inclined
to Increase the
Cotton Acreage

Wheat acreage will probably be re-
duced in Carter county this season, ac-
cordlng to r.. t. Riser. who lives IN
The wheat growing area OF the county
lie also states that the acreage In that
locality has been considerably reduced
to what IL was last year. with the PROB
ability that bigger cotton acreage
will result.
Cotton acreage has been steadily re-
duced in Carter county for the past
few years, but there seems TO be a ten
dency upon the part Of farmers to put
in more cotton on account Of prevail

good acreage in cotton this year Is
the one who is getting better pay for
his years work. as pirces have re-
mained good all the season.

COMMISSIONER TAGERT ON
NEGRO EDUCATION

) Washington, D. C.-That the ma
whole country are involved in the
question of Negro education is the
substance of an interview given out
by DR.. John J. Tigert, United States
Commissioner of Education, on his
return from recent conference in
Nashville with the heads of the %
State and Federal Land Grant Col
leges for Negroes. The fact that DR..
Iigert is a native of Tennessee and
has always lived in the South adds
significance to his statement, which
follows in full:
"The neglect of Negro education
has resulted in an immeasurable loss
to the country. 1t has affected not
only the material prosperity, espe.
cially of the South, where the Negro
population is greatest, but has like
wise affected the standard of living
and the character of citizenship, anc
has injured the morale of our PEG.
pie: If we had long ago made pro.
vision for the technical education Of
our Negro population, the increase il
the value of our products, both agri
cultural and manufacturing, would
have been incidentally great. The
intangible and immaterial benefit:
which would have accrued can scarce
ly be estimated, nor can we form an,
estimate of what would have been thu

of encouragement, arousing his am

A catalogue of these un-American
things would take too much space, so
it will suffice to mention the latest
evolved from the K. K. K. controlled
city. At the meeting Of the city

8 committee was appointed to pre-
pare an ordinance prohibiting inter
racial worship Of God. Under this
proposed law white and colored peo-
pie could not attend the same churches

WOMEN AS PREACHERS,

The women are demanding their
right to become preachers of the Cos
pei on equal terms with the men. At
q recent meeting of women pastors
speaker declared that the majority of
the church members at present are
women drawn by the eloquence and
magnetism Of the male preachers and
if women were installed as pastors
would fall over. each other in the eff
forts to get into the fold.
The Reverend Clarence Edward
Mccartney of Philadelphia, dissents
from this view and says that the Or
dination of women as ministers of the
gospel would be prejudicial to the
best interests. Of the church and
''would increase the occasions for
fractional scandal and satanic church
quarreling."
No doubt the men would be at
tracted to the church services if the
shepherdess was young and charm
ing, had a trim figure, wore peek
a-boo waist, with a skirt falling to
her knees, the portion Of her anatomy
from that point to the French-heeled
oxfords encased in "invisible' silk
stockings. It would not matter what
she said, the attendance of the men
including all Of the bald-headed "fa-
theirs in Israel" would swamp the
meeting house-and they would all
be in the front pews-if possible.

is ten thousandfold greater in the
South than in the North. Ninety per
cent of the lynching occurs in the
South, and ALL of the disfranchise-
ment and jimcrow laws.
A little instance which is illuminat-
ing. A colored man was arrested in
Chicago last week charged with hav-
ing assaulted a white woman with a
club, breaking her skull. A doctor
diagnosed his case as denlentia prae-
cox and he was committed to the
psycopathic hospital for treatment.
What would have happened in Geor-
gia? Well this is what did happen
in Georgia last summer even when no
white woman was involved. A. col
ored man shot white man and in
turn was shot by a white mob. He
was taken to hospital where he died
shortly after. About midnight the
white mob went to the hospital to
get the wounded colored man and
lynch him. Exasperated at finding
that he was dead, the mob broke into
the dead room, got the corpse, car
ried it to the outskirts Of the city and
burned it to crisp. The charged re-
mains were then returned to the hos
pital. This happened in the city of
Augusta, Ca, in the Year Of Our
Lord, Nineteen Hundred and Twenty
one.

THE DRIED SCOTT DECISION.

1t was fifty years ago-March 6,
1S57,-tLat the Supreme Court of the
United States rendered its decision in
the famous bred Scott case. The re-
suits which followed. this decision were
stupendous and far'reaching.
bred Scott was slave belonging to
a surgeon in the United States army.
He was taken by his master to Fort
Smelling, in the State Of Illinois, terri
tory from which, by the ordinance of
1887, slavery had been forever ex
cluded. Afterward he was carried into
Missouri, where he was hired as a
slave. Claiming freedom on the ground
that his residence in Illinois had wiped
out his status as slave, his case was
taken before the Supreme Court for
settlement. $3.50 49,
After three years consideration of
the case the decision of the court was
pronounced in an exhaustive opinion
delivered by Chief Justice fancy, seven
of the nine judges concurring.
In substance, the decision was as
follows: (1) That persons of the
African race were not, and could not
be, acknowledged as part of the peo-
ple,' or citizens, under the Constitu-
ton of the United States. (2) That
Congress had no right to exclude citi-
zens of the South from taking their
Negro servants, as any other property,
into any part of the community, and
that they were entitled to claim its
protection therein. CO That the Mis-
souri, Compromise of 1920, in SO far as
it prohibited African slavery north Of
a designated line, was unconstitutiona1
and void. E:- ~
The decision raised storm from
one end of the country to the Other
and made the civil war q foregont
conclusion.
