A few weeks bro I visited a typical Southern plantation and had a ehaneo tc lonrn how tluo Negro employed wore treated. There are thirty fan i lies, employed tho year 'round on th's ten-thousand ncre tract, w?th e.vt ra help at cot ton-picking a? d harve*!. times. The hoad of ?acli i'amiliy is puid $30 a month. They Ret living quarters ?nd fuel friv, and all ttiry want of the food- tuffs grow n on th ? !?laco. Most of tho ot-bin.l have gar dens and Hocks of poultry. The X?' p;roc3 have their -ow; community Milter or 4'jaok'' whore they havo the'Jr dances and social on: air*- In case of illness, tlu>y g->t free niedica! Ml)#.

In addition, the women and older ehildrcu are givon fir t chaneo on tl&s plantation to earn extm money a).' picking time. The Negro foremeu get 1*30 a month n*td !ietter quarters. I was reminded of what Hooker T. , Washington, the great Negro <.duea tor, said'.to me years ago. "Tlie bc-?t triami of tho Southern Negro is tin Southern white man.'' ' JERUSALEM . . . The Moslems To every Christie i. as to every Jew, lbm> is something so sacred about tho Holy Cijty that"it *.?m& almost a j sacrilege to abandon Jerusalem to the , Mohammedans, as is proposed by the British commission which has drawn , up plans for tho new Jewish Stato of Palestine. "If I forget thee 0 Jeru salem, Let my right hand forget her cunning," sang the writer of thi 137th Psalm. "If I do dot remember thoe, lot my tongue cleave to the roof j of my mouth, if I prefer not Jeru'^a lem to my chief joy". ) But while it is a sentimental shock j( abandon Jerusalem to the Moslems when ono remem K-rs thc blood spiller in the crusades and tho World Wa? to recapture it from them, the praeti eal fact is that tho experience of the past twenty yeara has proved tha tho Jews and the Arabs can,t occupy the same tcrritority peacefully- So the new Jewish state wijl go back to the ancient home of the race, Samara and OaliW., leaving most of Judea to the Arabs* ?

Only four of the ten escapees* are still at largo, and it is believed that they also will soon be leturued to thd camp. Tl^e ten made their escape when S. A.
