WHO VTILL SOLVE THIS PROBLEM t
? Our tenant farmers, courageous,
honest, patient and lonx-snllerlnjr,
when shall they see light T When
ahail their burdens be Lifted? In the
spring time they go forth, and with
our brothers In black set their hands
to the plfi*. They bend their backs
to the burden, and when the frost falls
they have added $1,000,000,000 to the
wealth of the world. But small, in
deed. is their share, and meager their
recompense. Every two years, ac
t-ordtog to the government census.
i ude hula, no flowers about their
dwellings, no tree* to shade them from
the sun. consumed by the iumrur'1
heat and chilled by the winter's cold,
no lawns about their houses, no gar
den fences; and with the accursed
cotton plant crowding the Terr thresh
old of their rude dwellings and thrust
ing its limbs into their ve-y windows,
their lot Is Indeed pitiable.
Their sons and daughters oome to
manhood and womanhood, desert the
farms and are lost in some distant
community. Finally, when their pil
grimage is over, they are laid to rest
in the rude churchyards of the coun
try, others take their places and con
tinue the fight. They have establish
ed no permanent homes, their kith
and kin are scattered far and : wide,
and the places that knew them ones
know them no more forever.
I have no word of criticism for men
like these, I know them, I have lived
among them. I sprang from them. I
Who shall undertake to lead these 1
men out of the wilderness of their I
troubles? Men whom they elevate to I
high offices in the State and national
government are ever ready to teach
them politics, but they are not prepar
ed to help them solve their problems
of life. A fearful responsibility rests
at this time upon men in authority
and men in high offices. Will they
meet it? ? Ex.
All a man gels by arguing with hrts j
wife is in bad.
Practice makes perfect. Be care- 1
ful what you practice.
Misery may love company, but com- I
pany doesn't love misery. J
