Phil Less Poison ?"d More Prayer [p -?? **? ,. ~ " 1 It is an awful scene to go through c -the-cotton flelds-?f this country and lj --v*y- - ?ec thnjdo-,tructoin that is beifig done n by the boil weevil.: Many stalks are t " rour and six feet Lull with less than c a dOzeu bolls that will-' yield friut. -p The most pitiful Jthing is, to see theSIT ~E cotton or a ppj?"" *" th'f incnnt With a fertilizer bill that has taken c ' over half of their crop's prdiit; they .r are sharing the' remainder with the i poison and leaving practically nothing -r for themselves. Now it is rnot my, r purpose to go up against, the scien- "r tific laboratories of this country in r advising the farmers, but if I were a e cotton planter I would not pay ten 1 cents for all the bolt weevil poisorF 1 thatrta" manufactured. If it kills the ?~ boll weevil where; does he go to die*. . Surely not in the field. What farmer _t has ever s^en dead weevils as a re- 1 ault of hio'poioon? If this pui.suii "t vould come up to ita. recommendations ? ^he dotton lields* Ought be " literally" 2 ? covered with dead bodies of the boll * weevils. Tell me what affect has the N poison upon -thd boll wevils, when itis given him for breakfast and aa 1 flooding rain comes before'noon ? ^ Who is responsible for the cost of 1 the labor and poisor\? It appears to 1 be just a little more than a child's play for grown'?peo^le to be trying < to kill the boll weevil. Allow me to" ( eske these questions. From whence canie this yveevil pest? Did th'^y come ? , from God or from man? It is all ; folly .to believe that "man iaii put out ( , of existence that which the Almighty 1 - allows to exist. It does seem to me ' that Christians living in a Christian age, oilghtr-have as"^"much faith in . God's power to move this evil as rnaroan, the heathen king of Egypt. When frogs, lic.e- and other pests infested the land of Egypt,' .Pharoah called'for Moses and Aaron and said: -i "Entreat the Lord that He may take .j. away .these things from me." I be- i jit?ve from the depths of my heart that < if the people of God would cry unto Him against* this'evil; it would be removed; And I "further believe that < whenever, this destructive insect is > moved, it will be by the power of God and not by the poison of men. J * I therefore advise more prayer and I less poison as a remedy for the bool : weevil.? .? ' : ' ? 1 School Teaching The Leading Profession for Colored People Reading the editorials of last week. in me L.eaaer, one would almost be " ~*7~. moveii to tears to note- the salaries that are to be paid colored teachers. , The trouble is that there is nothing for colored girls to do but teach school or go to the ovash tub. Colored boys must either teach school- or - plough. We as colored people have ^ depende-d upon the government to i ii: employ our children and the white -people?artr-the government and-this is the provision that fhey have made. ? And with all these years of our boast ^ ed civilization and wealth, we have nothing better to oflfeir them.?In fact, we haven't as good. It is a sad fact. , Everybody knows' that when a market becomes- gluttbned with produce or any Kind, it cheapens the produce. , _? Hundreds , of boys and girls coming from Urc* colleges every year witih _ nothing-^-4e-but -teaeh-school, have r- over crowded the ^profession. The idea of the colleges raising the educational Standard of the schools and the 1 government cutting the prices for J the service these peoplevare to render. e The white school teachers would laugh the state to.scorn if these pric-T' es wore -Ottered them. Why? Be- . - j ! 1 cause they have thousands, of other positions that were made possible for them by their;-, own. race. And as long ( as the colored people will not deposit I tholr monies in colored banks and will riot allow colored printing establish' 1 ments to do their .printing, and will N * 4 not consult a " colored physician and confer with colored lawyers, and buy 1 *. *' ? ' from colored agents and firms, and * insure with colored companies, and ' patronize-colored enterprises, as a ? whole, they will not he mftking any * provisions whatever for their educa- * 3 tl" k..^ j-._x._j it uu)a rtuu, gina. uur ^rmiuaicu children arc simply over crowding the " teaching professtcovTb work almost at r a sacrifice- Because we have pro- -t " " videth nothing tor therrr; "f.ord ? open our eyes that we may see." 5' - Colored Children and School Cfolng ^ The MhA6l bells are, beginning to ring calling the colored bovs ahd girls h to come to school. Every colored ~youth should heed the call. We must 1 be educated. This is no day for ig- ti ^ noranccv Such will not be tolerated. Thefiay in which <we live has no 7 m 'iiHiiiii i f - '*i i i'i i"alt The New Rider ip Ellii ;~ lace ,fyr an ignorant man or woman, 'hey simply* hold until the intelligent omes. This is true in.every walk Of ife. .We want "college: men and wonen and muat have them. Now while He'children are :scpkinp higher. ^dilation let the parents strive to make daces fur lliem. This can De (lone >y organizing more business 'enteririses among us, and support those hat?are?already?established. Our hildren know too well that it is not lecessary to read Gre^k and Hebrew n order to make up berths on a Pull nan car or to teach school foUf nonths in the South for $120.00.
