An old farmer, not long agr
asked qa whether a man makin
a share crop had a right to hav
the erop from the place withou
the landlord’s permission o
prior to a division. We told hit
that the law considers a share
cropper as a laborer and not as
tenant. As a laborer cannot ur
cerimoniously haul away his mas
ter’s property, neither can
share-cropper. The only intei
est a laborer or a share croppe
has is a laborer’s lien on the prc
duct of his toil.

Dear Editor:
Thinking by your aid,
I might give some information to
the youth of Woodruff and sur
rounding counties, regarding
the opportunity of an education
s at the State University, I pre
sent the following.
, The doors of the University of
: Arkansas have been and are still
r open to the young men and wom
en of the state.
The present term was opened
Sept. 17th 1902 by an inaugural
address of the new president,
Henry S. Hartzog, L. L. D. and
also the introduction of seven
new members of the faculty re
presenting different, depart
ments.
The purpose of the University
is not only to train the intellect
ual powers of the youth but also
| his physical being and moral
’ character.
J It is never too late to enter, for
| there are new classes continually
; being formed. If anyone has put
[ off coming on account of being too
| late, he has formed the wrong
: idea.
I Trusting this may be an ad
: vantage to some one, I remain,
i Six Foot,
Grover McCrory.
