These poor whites, some of
whom are forced to work in the
fields along with colored workers
for the first time, exhibit the most
bitter forms of hatred on the least
provocation.
No Singing In Fields
There never was much singing
in cotton fields Notwithstanding
the many pictures we've had to
prove the fact-and there certain
ly are no outbursts of harmony at
the present time. An air of sullen-
ness prevails. Despite efforts of
the government to help the man
farthest down, the situation in the
black belt in more ways than one
has reduced itself to a matter of
bread and butter.
It's no singing matter. Whites
and blacks alike know what it is
to be refused advances from store
keepers who have always staked
the muntil cotton selling time. And
with the checks for land rented in
the cotton reduction program later
than expected in coming the sit
uation has made many whites GLAD
to go to the fields.

workers were on the job for the
early registrations. Under the
four year registration law, now in
existence, everyone who voted at
the 1882 general election or at the
repeal election, is on the books and
will remain there until the 1886
general election, for which there
will be an entirely new registration.
Those who must register now are
those who have reached the age of
81 years and those who have been
naturalized since the last registra-
tion. Persons who have moved out
of the district in which they regis
tered, must secure transfers. At
torney General P. Warren Green,
in the opinion given to Deputy At
torney General Robert G. Houston,
of Georgetown, explains that in ad-
dition to those VINO voted at the
last general election, those who
voted at the repeal elections last
year are now registered and will
not have to again qualify prior to
the election in November.

HELP FOR STUDENTS

Students of Washington
College, that fine institution
at Chestertown, Nd, will be
helped to the extent of almost
$4,000 by the Federal Emerg-
ency Relief Commission, says
President Gilbert w. Meade,
of the college. Official notice
to that effect has been receiv-
ed from the Federal author
tiles in Washington. Work

ernment, and it will be posi-
BILE for the students to earn

Between January and June

S1,500. All this, Of course, iE
a big help to the ambitious
young students who could mo-
continue their courses with
out financial aid. Even il
good times numerous students
have trouble, and it is worse
in depressed days.

BOOTLEGGERS IN STATE

There no longer is any ex-
cuse for having bootleggers in
Delaware. The liquor laws
here are so liberal with re-
spect to both soft liquors and
hard liquors and the places
for selling and dispensing
them are so many and SO con-
venient that there is no good
reason why any thirsty per-
son should not quench his or
her thirst without the inter-
vention and assistance Of the
bootlegger. In fact, so far as
necessity goes, that Individual
is a back number. He may as
well recognize the fact now,
while the recognizing is good.
That statement applies not
only to those bootleggers who
are natives or residents of
Delaware but also to those
residents of Pennsylvania,
New Jersey and the Eastern
Shore of Maryland who have
been crashing the Delaware
borders and unloading their
illegal and unneeded stocks of
alimentary refreshment on
Delaware soil. The Delaware
