The.cotton planted In South America, in Mexico, doesn’t materialize. w ,„ The United State with over three million statute square miles has about gone her limits and you will never see over eleven million bales of cottou raised again in the south. Suppose, then, over eleven million bklSFWeTe raised (say twelve million), It could not be gathered. The south will never again gather a twelve mil lion I tale crop, simply because the labor is not there to gather it. Tne old time negro Is dying out, and the young buck coming forward educated, ain’t worth a cuss as a farm hand totally unavailable as a laborer. The statistics jbosL_iMt-Jvhenevern^yaB; educate a negro, you spoil a goni farmhand. He no longer desires tq pull the bell cord over a mule. He wants to teach sc.hbol or preach, and besides, there are hundreds of avoca tions opening up to the daily toilgr iu our country—turpentine farming, saw mills, factories, rati roads. Tinr Southland has made more progress In the last ten years, 'than in two de cades past, and these institutions arc paying good wages and ready cash. - With the boil weevil In Texas, thousands of acres of land devoted to peach culture In the south, the popula tion of the country by far outgrowing the production of tlic country, and the conquest of the Philippine,s, and Eng land's Jnroadfvlnto Africa, is bringing Into the folds of civilization a vast horde of people who went about cloth ed with a simple lig leaf until lately, "who now wear dotiiek.—l was told while in Augusta during my last visit that while August a was quoted at holding about forty thousand balesToT cotton, there in reality were only about fifteen thousand" bales Cotton for market, the balance is Inman’s and others, not for sale, but to deliver on contracts. Now there is one thing clearly dem nstrated to my mind—that the south never will make twelve million bales—If she did the labor is not here to gather it, and what is not picked by January 1st, will never be picked. And again the top crop will never be again a factor. As my friend Josh Doughty; told me, Dan liowles had 26 acres of the prettiest and - forwardest second crop ever seen. It was the pride of the mill m^n around Augusta, and the cotton ractofs gazed • long and lovingly upon the large unopen bolls that were destined to die unborn.. The beautiful soft, silky-white locks were nevett to be kissed by a southern sun, and I am told that while x the boys were dwelling In rapture over Bowles’s crop, Dan, who is sharp as he Is clever, and being very democra tic in his ideas, Offered the crop for one bale, and the truth is^ it made but one. The price of ten cents cotton baa made a wonderful difference in the situation. There were at least 5,000 batai sold in, ths last few days In Augusta and with what is now to sell will put in circulation in Augusta a quarter of a million dollars ““ " rife**# about S cents. I want to pay a compli- mopt to the factors of Augusta. They are the cleverest and most reliable set of noon in the south and have been and are the farmers’ friends. They rejoice to see Uie staple rise. Al—and Alexander were tjfie fint to sell a round lot of middling tea cents.
