Diaz, the master of Mexico p for thirty five years, died in Paris July 2. The death of Gen. tl Diaz recalls conditions in Mexico v when the ill-fated Maximilian H was attempting to rule Mexico * - and was shot by order of Court si martial. During the presidency Vi of Diaz Mexico prospered and it di is a source of great regret that his country did not retain hit* c" services and thus prevent the unhappy lot that has now beta)1 Mexico.

Ex. ai The Southern Planters. ^ The following practical and r, lertinent article is from a recent n ssue of Collier's Weekly. h Frank Johnson of the flat re- t< (ion of South Carolina raises six w rnndred bales of cotton annually f< in as many acres. lie employs ii >n expert to direct his negro si aborers and "dopes" his land a vith twenty-five dollars' worth, b ?f commercial fertilizer to the e icre. When cotton fetches fj welve cents a pound, he makes 1 > "killing"; when the price w Irops to seven cents, he goes f< iroke. Jim Brown, another cot- ii on grower, lives on a rented a arm, knows little, and has little n xcept leisure, lie raisee & scan- b y crop on supplies advanced by r< i lien merchant. In a good year c le "pays out" and has a little e noney for Christmas. In a bad f< rear he has what the lien mer- r< hant does not take. The nonesident landlord has a first lien or rent cotton, and as a rule, fi ;ets it. But no lien merchant or T lonresident landlord pesters n ames Sheppard, who lives up in g he hill country. Sheppard had w orty-five bales of the 11)13 crop A vhen the war news reached him w ast August, and fifty more in n he field to pick. "1 refused hirteen and a half cents for my j, Id cotton last July," he said, ft 'but I'm not going to worry nuch. I guess I'll hold both j( rops till the price goes up again. *1 don't owe the bank anything, ^ md I have plenty of corn, pot a- q oes, fodder, hogs and poultry." ^ The group Sheppefd represents, ^ vhich is very small reduced their ^ lotton crops this year because . :ommon sense dictated it; the ^ ?rank Johnson class did so be- _ a ;ause their bank and fertilizer & iredit was restricted, and the g Ulnr plftaa nf fnnanfo V\nno no a v*www V* WllWll VO UCVUUOC ^ iea credit was skimper. The general redaction throughout the P South is 15 per cent. Southern arraers, knowing cotton to be ? iheir most profitable crop, will 1 continue to raise it; but they are 81 earning that one-crop production a neans idleness of livestock, lab>r, and land about half the year, 8 yhile overhead charges must be c paid on the whole outfit.
