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.
