Their habits are of the sober Indus

not nearly as much as Is being de

be trusted to do what Is required of
them with despatch and olerlty.
When they become acclimated and
satisfied with changed conditions It
Is thought that they will be anxious
to bring their families over and re
main to the end of the chapter. No
one with the slightest reason or In
telligence will be disposed to doubt
but that they will make better and
more substantial citizens In every
way than the negro, that they will
work the land to the best advantage;
that their morals will not be a detri
ment to the advance and progress
from that standpoint; that they are
of a race that will not bring crime
and Its kindred evils to our borders;
and that It will give to the different
agricultural districts of any county a
class of citizens that will be no me
nace to white supremacy and will
prove a willing and ready labor for
any class of work that may coma to
hand.
The people of Brooks are well
pleased so far and are going to con
