f We were handed a few days ago by
* Mr. Lt P. Hollman a paper showing
what had been made on a one-horso
farm for the year 1906 by Jim Chan -
bers. better known in the comnuir ■
ily as “Big Jim.”
“Big Jim" is past 70 years of agi,
•put, judging from the ciyp lie has
just gathered, might be considered to
be in his “prime."
Eleven bales of cotton, averagir g
532 pounds, were made ahd gaths r
'ed by him, besides 200 bushels of
| corn, and other crops, such as pet s,
* potatoes, etc., in proportion.
We are inclined to believe that tUe
. judgment and advice of Mr. Holim|n,
* Who is one of the best farmers jm
if our county, had a great deal to do
i. wjih this large yield; yet Jim fur
^tished the labor, which is a great
Bbul better than the average darkey
do.
every Negro would do only half
Mo well the Negro problem would .
Rive itself, and the immigration ques
■ thm would be of little concern.
