To Editor of the Union Times: Please allow a litttle space to say a word to my people. It is now the season when many of them migrate lothe . mountains and elsewhere in t he name of hunting work, etc. I am glad to note that up to now only a lew has gone. It is a beautiful iirht to see all the Deonle workiner: I. is a shame to see anybody walki \>r or sittting around now without a <foh. There can be no complaint now i bout wages. Anywhere from two t.? four dollars aday to hoe cotton. 1 rom three to five dollars for labor, . ' any kind. Hope you vwill note with interest such meetings as are 1 eing held in many plaes where those who once hired are pledging > do their own work, etc. That is tine. For all should do something, i.ut when that is done my people are the sufferers. As it stands if we work land it is some one elses. When !iey work it they will not need us. N ine tenths of our women wash lothes and with the proceeds dress fine and some pay for their own home. When these people learn how and a! e willing to do their own work we will have to find other work.

He said to her, "You had bet- t tor watch your comer." So I say to t you in every walk of life, "Watch a your corners." Many are leaving the farm, going on*the public works for t the spasmodic high wages just as 1 hundreds went to the camps. The l various constructions would have c been done had it not been for the t war. For ttyis progressive nation i had already planned it. But the ; war has slacked up, they are trying ] to get through when they have fin- i ished the work will stop. What will s keep thousands from being out of ' work and moving? For you know ' we spend all we get each week. If 1 you have a job stick to it. Do a full i days work. Take interest in the af- ? fairs of the people for whom you 1 work. Be a partner. Make yourself 1 indispensible. All you will have i some one to depend upon in the day < of need, the good will of humanity 1 and best of all the approval of a 1 good conscience. When it becomes here as it is now in many other places, at those who do not do their own work, stay in hotels and depart ment houses, have their washing done in laundries, and bricklayers and carpenters are not all of our ( races. We will find a marked dif- , ference. When hard times come and other sections will feed and clothe us as we have done for others, you rest assured that only a few of us will be on the distributing committee and my people will get supplied if 1 there is any left. You had better I "watch your corners." . i I am not preaching in this county so I advise you in part I do those J to whom I preach. 1 I Stay in one place. Settle some- i where in the work. Don't be driftwood, for any state, or section. Settle. Make a life, a standing. And you will stand a better chance of getting what is due you. J Join no strikes of any kind. Trust 1 God, do a full day's work. Save , some of this money for it cannot hold out this way. Everything is high but for the laboring man it is cheaper than ever.

In 1782 Pierie Surget obtained a plantation by Spanish grant and planted indigo. Indigo was being grown extensively in Louisiana at that time and found ready market. The Surget fortune soon was made and many years afterwards the little town of Cherry Grove came into existence on a part of the plantation. It was there that James Surget was born and died. He left a daughter. Although 84 years old James Surget never rode in an automobile nor used a telephone. A breeder of thoroughbred race horses and a devotee of racing, he boasted that he r.ever bet a dollar. The casket containing his body was, ftt his request, borne to the family burying ground by old negroes, former slaves to the family. iturday ai hase made in our store < 10 with us, we give you 1 )0 back.

Strong demand is the primary cause of the higher prices, the commission said, adding that conditions in the oil trade now appear to be greatly improved with respect to production and imports. The commission was unable to say whether the price of the refined products were "disproportionate" to advances in crude oil prices, and likewise impossible to report on the companies, profits for the current year, through in 1919 "the profits of many of the large oil companies, wVnf Vin?* nrr>.'lii/.ora ai? /lie TTIIWIIVI UV4UW10| A VtlllVt O VI VI AO"" tributors of o;l were larger." f 1 I SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENTS L FOR SALE?Two (2) nice milk cows.
