Political and Legal Advertising.
We wish again to call attention
to the rule as to payment for legal
I advertising. It is strictly cash in
i advance. No copy for legal ad
! vertising will be accepted unless
cash accompanies the copy.
Our rules as to all announce
ments and other political adver
tising is c ish in advance.
We always like to have the time
of payment come when the person
takes the greatest pleasure in pay
ing. Before the election such bills
are always paid as a wise expen
diture; when paid after the elec
tion, some think then that it is just
throwing their money away.
We would wish that all might
be elected.
As to Price of Subscription.
In some way many have receiv
the impression that we have rais
ed the price of subscription to
The Weekly.
This is an error.
We have not raised the price.
It is still one dollar only.
The rule has always been cash
in advance.
Heretofore this rule has not
been enforced.
Just as early as it is practicable
to do so without working any
hardship on any person, we shall
begin to observe this rule to the
letter.
We shall gradually bring our
list up to a compliance with this
rule. To this end, we shall here
after observe the following rules:
1. No new subscription will be
taken except when cash in ad
vance is paid for same.
2. All new subscriptions for
less than a year will l e discon
tinued at once upon the expira
tion of the time for which pay
ment has been made.

The Menace of the Mulatto Problem,,
Is the Negro Question “Settling Itself?”
“The Negro question is settling itself,” they tell us, and The Progressive
Farmer almost alone among the bigger Southern journals today is scientifically
probing to the bottom ot the whole great problem to see how it is being “settled."
Did you know, tor example, that from 1870 to 1910 the number of mulat
toes in this country increased from 584,049 to 2,050,686 or over 251 per cent—
whereas the number ot full-blooded negroes increased only from 4,295,960 to
7»777>°77» or 81 P er cent -
In other words, there are not even twice as many full-blooded negroes as
there were in 1870, but there are nearly FOUR TIMES as many mulattoes. The
Progressive Farmer ot February 21st will present some amizing figures and some
utterances by Rev. A. H. Shannon, Prot. T. J. Brooks, Senator B. R Tillman and
others about this whole big, sinister, loathsome subject. It is not going to be
pleasant reading, but it’s mighty necessary reading and in many respects astound
ing, and ought to arouse the whole south to action concerning the perils that con
front us.
Look out tor it. Many other equally notoble scientific articles on “The
Negro and Southern Farm Lite” will follow.
Send ten cents for a ten week’s subscription including
a copy of this issue. Or better still, send $1 for a whole
year’s subscription. We’ll give you your money back
—with interest—if you are not satisfied. Isn’t that fair?
