ed in different direction since
that Chicago chick has come to
Terry.
Mary Bell you had better pick
| up on some of that stuff you are
putting down on that sideline at the
ball game yourself. 1t will take
more than that to land Mr.. Tinsey
back again.

to do? We hear that Miss Doris M.
Terry left for Illinois to see her
old cat up there.
Hattie Ruth says don't you cats
and chicks weary about her play
ing suitors like Maggie plays jigs.
Just try and get you a Jig of your
own.
Well we see Mr.. Ward and Miss
Doris Buckner are playing that old
love again.
Mr.. Levester Jordon says you
cats stop wearying about him. He
knows that he is the cream in Miss
Buckner's coffee and therefore is
he on like Joe Louis?
Mr.. Dick Field says don't you

Farm wage rates in 1947 were
more than three times rates before
the war. Wages in 1948 will continue
at Or near the 1947 level.
Building supplies will continue to
be tight with many items. Supplies
of lumber are increasing some.
Building costs will continue high,
both for materials and labor.
Fertilizer supplies will be short OF
demand despite a to 10 percent in
crease over 1947. The nitrogen mater
ial situation will again be critical.
Potash supplies will continue tight
phospate supplies little easier. The
supply of mixed goods will more
nearly meet needs.
Farm land values for the nation
are within about 5 per cent of the
1920 peak. The trend is still upward
but for Mississippi land prices are
a little below the peak reached last
spring. Prices are still about l2O per
cent above the 1859 average.
Fats and oils production from do
mestic materials is expected to be
somewhat larger than in 1947. Europ-
can import demand will continue
strong. Prices will remain high.

Feed supply situation is the worst
in years, due largely to shortest
corn crop in 10 years. Total 1947
feed grain production was nearly
one-fourth less than 1896
Supplies of by-product feeds will
be nearly as large as in 1946-47. Pro-
tein feed supplies will be large in
proportion to carbohydrate feeds.
The U. S. supply Of hay per animal
unit will be the largest on record.
Production in Mississippi, however,
is about one-sixth smaller than in
l946 and 4 per cent smaller than the
10-year average.
Demand for feed is expected to
continue very strong in 1948. Prices
of feed grains and most other feed
concentrates will continue high, at
least until 1948 crop prospects are
known.
Supplies Of cotton In the United
States for 1947-48 season are expect
ed to be about IA per cent smaller
than the previous season, despite the
larger 1947 crop. Carry-over on
August / was "a million bales COM
pared with 10 million bales on Aug
ust /, 1946.
Total 1947 U. S. production is esti-
mated at lis million bales. Imports
The Durant news., 1948-01-01

are estimated at 100000 bales. This
will give total estimated U. S.
supply for 1947-48 of about AL mil
lion bales.
Domestic consumption outlook for
1947-48 is around 4-A million bales,
compared with about 10 million bales
the previous season. Exports are ex-
pected to be about 2h million bales.
If consumption and exports are about
as expected the carry-over on Aug
ust /, 1948, will lbe about 28 million
bales, or only slightly above Aug
ust l, l947 carry-over.
World production in 1947-48 is ex-
pected to total about 24.3 million
bales. This added to the world carry
over of 17.8 million bales, will give
a total world supply of about AL
million bales. Total world consump-
ton in 1947-48 is estimated at about
26 million bales. This would leave a
world carry-over on August l, 1913,
of about 16.1 million bales.

so recommend to the Governor
general" The statement, trans
lated into English, was read aloud
at least twenty times.
BY noon of July 8, the number
of slaves in the town was esti-
mated at between six and eight
thousand. They milled around the
Fort shouting for freedom and de-
claring that since their children
were to be free, they must be free
also. During the night, however,
Customer had placed the Fort in
readiness to repel an attack. He
had Is cannon all of them of very
ancient vintage, forty-eight men
to fire them, and sixteen infantry.
With such a small force, he could
not, Of course, hope to cope with
unrest in the town. This Frederik
Won Scholten, the Governors bro
ther, undertook. Respected and
trusted by the slaves, he moved
freely among them warning them
not to commit excuses.
While engaged in this task, a
merchant by the name Of Moore,
who had sought asylum in the
Fort urged Customer to fire on
the crowd. Although others coun-
seled against such action, Mer-
chant Moore's proposal finally
reached the ears of the rebels,
with the result that Moore'S house
and a few adjoining residences
were plundered. At this juncture,
we get our first glimpse Of Gen.
Buddho. Clad in a makeshift uni
form with a saber in his hand, he
rode around the town on a white
hores giving out orders. He stop
ped the war1ike action on the
part of the rebels and forbade
footing. He was known to be a
friend of the GOVERNOR General,
and many jumped to the conclu-
sion that his activity had the Sc
cret approval Of Scholten, a sus-
picion that ran counter to Schol-
tens strongly held conviction con-
corning the probationary period.
Scholten finally arrived in Fred
eriksted at A PM. and went inn
mediately to the Fort. There, on
his own responsibility, he declared
the slaves free. During the fol-
, 1948-07-07

lowing night, the proclamation,
originally drawn up in Danish in
four short articles, was printed
in as many copies, accompanied
by an English translation, as the
limited facilities of the "St. Croix
Avis" were able to turn out. Al
the same time, a copy was sent to
st. Thomas to be printed and dis
tributed in both st. Thomas and
st. John.
With emancipation proclaimed,
the climax of the instruction was
reached. The west and rebels de-
parted for their several destina-
tons and conditions rapidly re-
turned to normal. Before Schol-
ten had regained his composure,
however, word was brought to
him that bands of freedmen were
threatening ChriStiansted. He
therefore left Frederiksted at S
PM. and reached the capital two
hours later. At the western APP
proaches of the town, where the
Center Line and north side roads
converge, the lieutenant in charge
of a company of militia, after in
vain warning the rebels tot dis
perse, gave orders to fire. The reb-
els then withdrew leaving an I'M
estimated number of dead and
wounded. The same day, another
brush between rebels and troops
took place at Beeston Hill, in
which three freedmen were killed
and several wounded. 1t is inter
esting to note that there were far
fewer excuses in the western
than in the eastern part of the is
land, and no lives were lost. This
was due in all probability to the
moderating influence of General
Buddho, sometimes referred to as
the Toussaint L'Ouverture of St.
Croix.
At this point, attention should
be called to one important re-
spect in which the emancipation
of the slaves in the Danish West
indies parallels that in the United
States. Scholten's proclamation,
like Lincoln's later, was dictated
by military necessity and had no
effect in law until confirmed by

quite possible that such a project
could be taken over by the fed

Nor should Buddho be forgot

begin at home, and also because
the part he played would do hon

DRY.
And now, what has been our
progress in one hundred years?
In terms of the achievements of
a long line of brilliant individuals
and gifted families, the record
has been outstanding and not i'm
possibly surpasses the fondest
hopes Scholten envisaged for our
] people whom he was wont to re-
fer to as his children, From a
community standpoint, on the
other hand, our progress has mo-
been as good as it might. Hea
ing the line Of brilliant natl,
was Edward Wilmot Blyde,
little st. John, who upon grac
ton from college in the States
turned his footsteps homeward
toward the ancestral land of
Africa, where he became the first
Negro scholar, and so far as I
know, the only one to date, to
master the Arabic language. La
ter he became Liberican ambas-
sador to the Court of st. James.
1t was he whom the great philos-
opher, Herbert Spencer, once
slapped on the back at a social
gathering with the observation
that in the republieie of learning
there was no caste.
Mention should next be made of
the splendid and devoted tea
cheers who, at little better than
subsistence wages, held the torch
of learning aIoft: r. E. Cruise, P.

excellent corps of present-day

Open Letter of December Is, 1848.
And now a word as to the I'LL
inmate fate of three of the princi-
pals in the drama of emancipa-
ton. The Governor-general was
advised by his physician to make
a voyage back to Denmark for
the purpose of repairing his shat
tered health. Very early in the
morning he boarded a chartered
American schooner for ST. Tho
mas, twenty-one years to the date
after his triumphal entry into
Christiansted as Governor-gener-
al. He was at first found guilty
for willfully relaying to halt the
Instruction, but was acquitted
on appeal to the Danish Supreme
court. He died in Altoona in the
IeDuchy of Holstein on January 26,
1854.
His brother, Frederik Won Schol
ten, customs Inspector at Fred
eriksted, was originally a lieuten-
ant-commander in the navy and
served for a period with the
French who decorated him with
the cross of the Legion of Honor.
He died in 1853 and lies buried in
the Lutheran church yard in
Frederiksted.
General Buddho who, although
leader of the Instruction, had
played a most noble part in re-
|ttraining his followers from muir
der and plumber, was exiled to
the island of Trinidad and warned
Fthat he would summarily be shot
If he ever again set foot in the
Danish West Indies. He is said to
have been seen later in Curacao,
from which he is supposed to
have proceeded to the United
States. It is reported that he
might have escaped with a much
milder punishment if he had been
willing to confess that he had
asecret understanding with Schol-
ten concerning the role he played
lin the Instruction. Steadfastly
insisting that the alleged secret
understanding was but a Pigment
tof the imagination on the part of
ltScholten's enemies, he refused to
the last 60 be cajoled or inveigled
into giving false evidence against
an old friend. Here was our Bud
dho: When comes such another?
In the meantime, we cannot
help being reminded that the
author of our freedom one hun
|Idred years ago is still without a
memorial of any kind, while his
name has come to be hardly more
than a legend. Imagine Abraham
Lincoln being so ignored by the
people whom he freed! / would
