Ii Black Mothers Blessing

As you go away to the school today
Where the white mans books taught
Where the things you learn in your mind will burn,
With my blessing take this thought;
That the Masters Plan gives to every man
Just the race that his strength can run;
If it's hard to win with sable skin,
Then be proud you're black mans
For the paer chap needs the handicap
As his books full of lies,
But your mind will CLEAN and the truth be
Which his prejudice denies
Nor even break will he ever take
Yet the race of life is won
With an honest start and good, stout heart
So be proud you're black mans son.

A New Cotton
Exchange

The intrusion of Chicago into
the cotton market, signalized by
the establishment of regular
buying and selling and market
quotations, ought to have ten
dency to strengthen cotton as a
marketable commodity, notes
the Selma (Ala.) Times our
nal.
'ss@ The country now has three of
these cotton organizations, the
Others being at New York and
New Orleans. Considerable OPP
position developed in New York
to the Chicago proposition, but
the fnanciers at the latter center
not only had the money, but the
argument. Operation of the ex-
change at New Orleans has all
ways had safeguarding influ-
ence on Southern interests, but
the competition with New York
had its handicaps 1t is perhaps
well that strongly financed ex-
change should be established at
the Western center to keep the
New York organization on good
behavior. 1t at least canont be
further charged against New
York that it has monopoly on
the cotton contracts business.
