Autobiography ol a C\?tt<>?? Halo.
IN 'I WO CIIAITKKS.
t'll AI'TKK I.
I was raised in Wake county, North
Carolina, l>y a farmer ot moderate
means. At an early age, I learned '
from a conversation between the
farmer and a neighbor that i and the
land on which I was raised were mort.
gaged to a Baltimore firm, who had j
furnished fertilizers for the soil, and i
also to ft Raleigh merchant who had
sold supplies of Western bacon and
corn for the support of the field hands,
and Northern hay and oats for the
mules. The iarmor complained thai
necessity had forced him to pay a
very high interest for the use of the
capital invested in the above mentioned
fertilizers and farm supplies, and that j
he had in addition to nav a heaw lbc I
A / * J
for drawing and recording llio mortgage
securing tlie commission mercliants.
1 noticed that tho mules on tho farm
wore poorly led, and that as they passed
the lot gate they eagcily nipped a
few bunches of luxuriant clover which
had sprung up from seeds dropped out
ol the Northern oats. The farmer
said, as the mules passed on T would
sow an acre in clover, hut 1 need all
my best land tor cotton.*
I have nothing very remarkable to
tell you concerning my youthful day*.
I observed that tho hands employed in
tho field were poorly clad. Most of
them wore coarse cheap N orthern made
clothes, shoes and hats, and from their
rude talk I found that they had very
little education. The wives and children
of these farm laborers frequently
came to the field, aud I saw that the
women wore Northern calico dresses
and that the children were growing up
in ignorance.
After being picked and packed 1
was taken to Ilaleigh. The commission
merchant said to the farmer:
"Cotton is flat to-day, but we expect
it will go up soon.' The fanner sighed
and remarked: 'Well.' I guess 1
went into a large new brick store, and
accidentally heard tho merchant my
to the clerk: 'Insure Ibis hale of cotton
and charge Mr. A. with insurance
and storage.' 1 remained shut up for
some tiiue, when the fanner came in
one day and the merchant b;ii?I to him:
'Cotton is no better, but I utn compelled
to have Home money. I will
aliip your bale to Ihiltiruore and do the
best I can with it.'
A dray soon camo up, and an I was
hoisted into it, the merchant said:
'Have this bah; insured and directed to
\V. & \V., JJaltiinorc. They will pay
the freight and insurance.'
I was hurried over the railroad to
Norfolk and thence by steamer to Baltimore.
I was then stored for some
time, when I was sold to an agent of
a Rhode Island manufacturer. As I
passed out I heard the merchant calculating
how much was due him as i
storage and commission on my sale.
My purchaser was only busy in getting
out his insurance on me and arranging
to pay freight on mo to Rhode
Island.
Nothing occurred on the route to
n\v destination worthy of remark.
When I arrived at the factory, 1 found
several thousand friends raised in
North Carolina. I noticed the women
and children seemed cheerful, hut
none of them wore Southern made
shoes or Southern made clothes, orate
Southern bacon. The dray horses
were well kept, hut did not eat Southern
hay or oats. The owner of the
factory, they said, was very rich, and
had made his fortune manufacturing
cotton cloth for the New York market.
I was hurried through the factory

cloth. I was hurried into a bale of
cloth for a new Nork wholesale house,
and as I wont out overheard a eonver;
sation of the owner of the mill. JIo
i said he was realizing handsome profits
; from his factory, an J besides he was
giving employment to a hundred families,
and was one of the largest taxpayers
in the State.
1 then went to Now York to the establishment
of one of the merchant
i princes, and was delighted to hoar
him say to a clerk, 'Send this bale to

Messrs. Tucker, KalciLrh.'
As I had passed over the routo Ik;- !
I'oro it. was not new to me and I ai
lived safely in Kalei^h in less than a
week. l?y elntice I was put on the j
hoUont of a luroe nile. of cloth, and j
having nothing else to do, I entered ;
into :i little calculation. It. was us follows:
1 have changed hands often. First
the Kaleigh merchant realized his
profit and storage. Then the insur- |
ance agent. Then the railroads got
their freights. Then the steamers got
their freights. Then the llaltinioro
nierehant got liis storage and commissions.
Then the Northern insurance
agent got his percent. Then the manufacturer
got his profits. The New
York wholesale merchant got his per
cent. Then the lailroads aih! steamers
got their return freight, and tininsurance
man got another per cent.
Messrs. Tucker must have a per cent,
and
Here a clerk reached down ami
pulled mo out with a jerk, and lo and |
toehold! my old master, the man who
raised me, said lie would take me,
that he "wanted some narrard homespun,"
and I was bundled, and am
now at my old home in Wake, expecting
shortly to toe out up.
CIIAl'TBlt II.
I believe when Mr. Tucker's clerk
broke the thread of my discourse, I
was making a calculation. 1 had told
how the following ocrsons ii-idi/i-d
* - - - 0 I - - ?
profits on inc:
1. The lialeigh Cotton Factor.
2. The Uailroads and Steam lines,
'i ho Insurance .Agents.
1. The Haltimoro Merchant.
5. Tlio Northern Uailroads.
0. The Northern Insurance Companies.
7. The Manufacturer.
8. The wholesale Merchant.
0. The Uailroads on return freight.
10. The insurance men on return
risks.
1 I. The retail dealer.
These parties all show a. <1 op interest
in me, and I wi-d, to say ' entertain
no unkind feelings toward any of
them. The profits they realized from.
I me were legitimate, and propt-r. Hut
I feel very kindly for the man who
raised me, and when I considered that
lie paid all those accumulated profits,
j added to the original cost, i did not
wonder that lie dressed pooily and
was haul pressed to support iiis family.
I have travelled around and lislen|
ed to calculating men talk, ami I intend
to whisper a word to him through
the Crescent. What I want to say is:
liaise your own hogs. Don't buy
Western bacon at a high pi ice when
cotton is liable to lie at a low price!
Sow an acre or two of clover. It will
save corn and enable you to lee 1 your
teams better, and will cost you less
than Northern oats and hay. It will
enable yon to feed your cows better,
and they will give more and better
milk. Your calve?; will grow larger
and make finer cattle. Raise your
own corn and wheat. Don't plant all
cotton. If your land is poor, sow
peas and improve it. Save aU your
barnyard manure, compost your vegetable
mould, and don't buy worthless
fertilizers.
And when I get through whispering
to the famer, I want to say a word to
capitalists.
Cotton must bo raised iu the South.
There will always be a demand for!
the manufactured article. We have
waterpowers iu abundance. If Northern
manufacturers can pay transportation
and insurance on the raw materia!,
and manufacture it on the frozen
streams of New England, and realize
handsome profits, why cannot the
Southern manufacturer, who can purchase
it at his door without freight and
nsuranco charges, compete successfully
with the Northern manufacturer?
Our waterpowers are as good; streams
are seldom frozen; our climate is better;
wo can work more days in the
year; labor can bo had as cheap, lie
aides making large profits on the capital
invested, you will give employment
to our uoor women and children,
A /
and the cost of manufacturing instead
of enriching men a thousand miles
away, will be spent, with our own merchants
and tradesmen, and thus improve
tho condition of our own State.
