THE FEET OF JUDAS
Christ washed the feet of Judas!
The dark and evil passions of his
soul,
His secret plot, and sordidness
complete,
His hate, his purposing, Christ
knew the whole,
And still in love he stooped and
washed his feet.
**•»**
Christ washed the feet of Judas!
And so ineffable his love ’twas
meet,
That pity fill his great forgiving
heart,
And tenderly to wash the traitor’s
feet,
Who in his Lord had basely sold
his part.
And so if we have ever felt the
wrong
Os trampled rights, of caste, it
, matters not,
What e’er the soul has felt or suf
fered long,
Oh, heart! this one thing should
not be forgot:
Christ washed the feet of Judas.
—George Marion McClellan.
(The above poem was written by
a Negro. Some of our most beauti
ful and thoughtful poetry was writ
ten by other than the white race.

NEW BLOCK
SALE PLAN AT
WILSON MART
By George L. Wainwright
A revised system will be employ
ed for the operation of the five
sales on the Wilson tobacco market
the coming season, as thousands!
of growers will find when the j
world’s largest and highest bright j
leaf tobacco market opens August
26th.
Unlike the system last year,
block sales will be counted at 6!
o’clock A. M. following all sales
days, instead of the 8 o'clock count
in effect last year. However, in
order for a warehouse to be entitl
ed to such a block count there must
be left remaining unsold on the j
warehouse floor at the closing hour |
at least 380 baskets of tobacco not
over ten per cent of which is resale
tobacco. In the event the ware
house does not have this amount
left, only the remaining tobacco
can be sold the following day, and
then the sale will revert to the reg
ular schedule of sales by the sales |
card.
By the new arrangement this
year, warehousemen will be able to
determine from the Supervisor at
6 o’clock each morning, or soon
thereafter ,the exact time they will
receive a set of buyers, and can
advise their customers in order that
they might place their tobacco on
the floor accordingly.
