money in at that time, -which had

the differences between those win

t One Colored Subscriber Who
is Doing Well.
Gay, Ga., Feb. 8, 1908.—Dear Sir:
I desire to say to the readers of the
v Griffin News, as I grow in age, It be
comes to be more interesting about the
welfare of both races of people, white
apd colored. I believe we ought to
strive to be better citizens this year
• than we were last. I believe we ought to
grow to be better people, and live to be
better people and act as better people.
The first thing is to seek the kind
* dom of heaven. In its righteousness in
these blessings. Furthermore, believe
- that we ought to feel that we are de-
features one upon another.
I want say that we are getting along
lovingly’ around Gay, Georgia—both
white and colored. We feel that we
are going to have a glorious time this
year. We feel that we will be blessed
morally, temporally, spiritually and
4 financially and all these glorious' bless
ings.
I want to say that W. F. Gay is
certainly coming to the front and pre
sparing good houses for his hands to live
lu on his farm. Furthermore, he
, furnishes his hands employment and
pays them the money cash, and that’s
what we colored people like. I want to
say for myself that he paid me fifty-three
dollars outside of my crop, that I made
£with my own hand, and 1 made a toler
k able fair crop, eighteen bales of cotton,
\< IGO bushels of corn, 700 pounds of meat.
1 felt a little encouraged, considering
I the hard times.
L I want to say that Harris Chapel
school is coming to the front.
sMKVe have on roll sixty scholars, and
they seem to be advancing right along
in their studies. Miss Lucy Martin,
of Greeneville, is teaching for us, and
• she is highly appreciated by all the
people. I will close. Your friend.
J. D. Hines.
The Landlord and the Tenant.
Silvey, Ga., February 8.--Mr. Edi
tor, we are being censured by some
> of our readers for our article abort the
landlord robbing the tenant.
Now, I want to say first, that the first
farm that we ever worked on, was on
halves, that was before the people
knew that cotton seed was good for
fertilizer, and all up to this time the
. tenant got half of the cotton seed, the
I tenant having to bear half of the ex
pense of guano. After cotton seed was
’ found to be so Valuable a fertilizer for
- both cotton as well as corn, one land
j lord another began to claim all the
cotton seed to put back on the land.
I Now we have got to the question
t we wish io discuss.
Mr. A moves on Mr. B's farm, Mr.
B furnishes the seed out oflive»bales of
) cotton for manure of A’a farm. A pays
i for half of the guano, a makes ten
I bales of cotton.- B gets all the seed. A
r I gets none, but he had to pay for half of
I the guano. A stays another year and
works the same farm. B furnishes out
of five bales for him to manure with
the seed. Out of the other five bales he
puts somewhere ejse with same results.
> Yes, I believe that the tenant ought
, to furnish half of the seed he manures
. his farm with, and if B furnishes A the
seed out of five bales of cotton A ought
s to replace the seed he used on his farm
for manure, and what’s left over should
be equally divided between A and B,
otherwise if A uses the seed out of five
bales of cotton, which was already B’s,
and makes ten bales and B gets all the
i seed B has got the seed out of two
. bales and half of cotton that does not
belong to him, which is as pl 11 es ti e
; nose on a man’s face to any one that
wants to see the right, thing.'
In other words if B furnishes no seed
for manure, which is very often the
case, and A makes ten bales of cotton,
half of the seed justly belong to A.
■ Now, Mr. B you take A’s place and
see it you don’t contend for what is
, yours. Silvey Snowflakes.
