COTTON PICKERS’ STRIKE.
An Object Ijesson in Co-operation that
Will Make Southern Alliance Men
Very Sick.
New Orleans, September 6.—The
Times-Democrat’s Galveston special
gives information concerning the or
ganization of a colored cotton pickers’
union, which iias agreed not to pick
cotton after September 21 for less than
one dollar per hundred pounds and
board. This organization has been
perfected throughout the Colored Al
liance and numbers more than half a
million, with thousands being added
every day throughout the Southern
States.
Col. R. A. Humphrey, general su
perintendent of the Colored Alliance,
admitted the existence of this organ
ization.
It is learned that the following se
cret circular has been mailed at Hous
ton to every Sub-Alliance through
out the cotton belt, fixing the date
when the strike of the cotton pickers
will be simultaneously inaugurated
and how it sbal! be conducted:
Whereas, the planters and specula
tors above mentioned arefirm in their
demand that you pick at starvation
wages as offered by them, and leave
your families to suffer fearful conse
quences, placing to your account the
present low price of their cotton; and,
whereas, about six hundred thousand
pickers already have bound them
selves together in sacred covenant to
pick no cotton for anyone except
their own before about November 1 at
less than one dollar per one hundred
pounds, with board; and whereas
your success depends upon your uni
ted action, now,
Therefore, I, R. M. Humphrey, by
virture of authority in me vested, do
issue this my solemn proclamation,
fixing the 12th day of September, 1891,
it being Saturday, as the day upon
which all our people shall cease from
and absolutely stop picking cotton,
except their own, and shall pick no
more before about November 1, unless
their just demands for wages shall be
sooner acceded to by planters and
others interested.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
SOUTHERN PROSPERITY.
Business on a More Solid Basis, and
the Prospect Has Never Been More
Favorable.
The Manufacturers’ Record pub
lishes six pages of special letters from
leading bankers in all parts of the
South as to the financial condition
and prospects of general business and
farming interests. These reports uni
formly show that immediately after
the Baring failure Southern mer
chants and bankers pursued a very
conservative policy and at once com
menced to curtail all their operations
and to make preparations for a long
period of monetary stringency, if it
should come. The effect of this,
while lessening the volume of trade,
has beeu a reduction of indebtedness
and the placing of all business and
banking interests on a very solid finan
cial basis. It also resulted in the
borrowing of less advance money by
cotton planters than for many years,
and hence the present crop lias less
indebtedness against it than the crops
of former years.
In all parts of the South the farmers
are reported as less in debt than for
years, many reports saying that their
indebtedness is smaller than at any
time since the war, due in part to en
forced economy on account of the
monetary stringency since last fall
and in part to the large crops of the
last few years. The low price of cot
ton in the spring caused the planters
to pay more attention to the raising
of their own food supplies, and the
South will probably be less depend
ent upon other sections for corn and
wheat than ever before. It is esti
mated that the grain crops of the
South this 3*ear will aggregate nearly
100,000,000 bushels more than in
1890; and this, added to the large
yields of fruits aud vegetables, will
keep at home at least $75,000,000 that
last year went North aud West for
food stuffs.

LABOR DAY IN COLUMBIA.
Extract from Gov. Tillman's Speech.
Last Monday was celebrated as La
bor Day in Columbia. A barbecued
| dinner was served, and the toasts
were responded to by Gov. Tillman,
Hon. S. W. Melton, and Col. Janies
Armstrong. Among other things the
Governor said:
“A gentleman came into my office
some time ago to write up the Stale,
the South, and among other things
he asked me, ‘What do you need here
most?’ Without a moment’s hesita
tion I said—and I say- it to you, be
cause tlie more I think of it the more
I see its wisdom—that we wanted
more white men. He asked me what
next ^e wanted most, and I said in
telligence. Again he asked what
next, and I said capital. Most men
would have said capital first, but if
you will analyze it you will be ob
liged to acknowledge that if you could
change the dusky skins of South
Carolina to white men, or fill their
places with white men trom any
country, they would double, treble or
quadruple the value of every acre of
land in the State,; and therefore we
should leave no stene unturned to
bring white immigrants to our shores,
—not the off-scourings of hell or Eu
rope, bringing revolution and anarchy
in their train, but honest, God-fearing
citizens. If you want to see South.
Carolina prosper, intelligence must be
injected into her industries. You
have to educate your children. You
must have more braius and less mus
cle. If you have more white men of
the right stamp capital will come, be
cause intelligent labor will allow the
producer and mechanic to lay away
his 33I3 per cent, for a rainy day.
Now what else do we need iu South
Carolina? You will pardon me for
touching on present political condi
tions. We passed last year through a-
most bitter aud malignant campaign.
It is now behind us, and today every
N
