LETTER TO MY PEOPLE.
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. Like
t he preacher who spoke to one of his
members when she expressed doubt

of ever being able tovisit church any 1
more. 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. At the present !
wages you can buy a sack of flour in '
a shorter time than you used to. 1

Be regular attendants of your church
ind Sunday school instead of every
jhow or funny gatherings. These
rhese are times for sober thought,
work and pray for my people. Build
homes in the right way. For if hotye
is right the church, commun'fty,
county, state and nation will be
right. For the home is the older
than their all. "Watch your corners,"
for if we fail now we are
Jone. We have a place to stay and
friends who are willing to help us.
Let us be worthy of all they do.

Natchez, Miss., June 11.?With the
death of James Surget the last male
descendant of one of the famous indigo
kings of the South has passed
pway.
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.

SUPPLY AN DEMAND
Washington, June 1.?Advances in
the price of gasoline and other petroleum
products were ascribed more to
"varying conditions of supply and demand
in the light of emphasized and
pessimistic statements as to the future
supply than to a combination in
restraint of trade" by the federal
trade commission tonight in a report
to congress.
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,
