Cotton has become a problem since
its price has fallen to the figure of five
cents per pound. .Conventions havo as
sembled in the South West, whoro the
bulk of the crop is raised and resolu
tions have been adopted by plautors
and others looking to the solution of
the financial troubles incident to this
serious condition of things at the
South. Not alone tho cotton producer,
but every other Southern industry
and business is affected vitally by the
terrible depression in tho price of cot
ton. Cotton spinning is a largo indus
try; cotton seed mills, the phosphate
output largely consumed in and do
pendent on tho production and culti
vation of tho cotton plant, como into
prominence in connection with tho
cotton problem now exciting so pftuoh
attention throughout all tho country.
It Is clear that an Immense .amount of
capital, in phos^a^es, oil and cloth
hiantttacturi'^j^T'concerned in the so
lution of the cotton problem. If tho
price of cotton is reduced below the
cost of production it is clear that the
remedy of reduction In production
must affeot all these named dependent
industries. Tho quostlon is most vital
to the Sout^h in view of the faot that
thus^ industries comprehend almost
v the entire field of Southern industrial
enterprise. We only now proposo to
notice the apparently accepted sugges
tion of reduolng tho aoreago in cotton
and Incidentally increasing tho pro
duction of what Is commonly denomi
nated food crops. Should the cotton
produot be reduced one-third in vol
thojaot must largely revolution
tho Industries named as largely de
dent for their growth and de
pment upon a vast acreago and
uction of the staple. If this cours
uld havo tho effect of bringing tb
Is and spindles to the South
uld bo a consummation devoutly
wished and bo a happy solution If
e question Evldontw, hpwovoya
go reduction of acg0/ff^ft^ry^ow
* of omplo^g^K' great volume of
^^jJjJsJ^RkhTlwror.s, now engaged
vuting, gathering and manipu
lating cotton. Corn, oats and tho
grasses could employ but a small frac
tion of the labor required to give cot
ton to the world?an articlo requiring
the entire year to grow and put upon
the market. Already it appears that
in the cotton belt some attention is
being given to the production of moat
and bread. Upon investigation wo bo
llevo, however, that it will bo found
that it is tho thrifty white man and
small farmer who is trending in tho
direction of tho self-supporting system
of farming. The serious side of tho
question grows out of tho presence of
tho negro, an expert producor of cotton
and nothing but cotton. It may be
argued that the nogro being a moro
laborer, it does not matter; this may bo
Mounted, but there is a vast horde of
s^rhite poople also at tho South, who
will with difficulty omergo from tho
condition of laborers and aro now in
, the cotton fields. Unless tho condition
of this laboring class is revolutionized
the 8outh cannot prosper. Thoy must
absorb at least ono-half tho crops
raised at the South as tho prico of
their labor. Not ono in a hundred at
Christmas-tide can show a dollar, or a
pound of bacon or a blade of grass.
Thus one-half the proceeds of tho en
tire crop goes to tho great West for
flour, corn, lard, bacon and molasses,
to tho impoverishment of our sootlon
fid the building up of tho West. How
to keep this money at homo to find
profi^^i employment, is tho ques
^ tum^r^yyo havo only space to make a
Suggestion. On the river lands m this
Potato, which are boundless, groat crops
of hay and corn might be raised, and
horses, mules, cattle, hogs and shoop
produced as cheaply as in the West,
to supply the immense demand now
going out f rdm our cotton fields to tho
Impoverishment of the country. Again,
a system of long tenure leases would
givo to the tenantry a quasi interest
in^tfee^son, which would in a fow years
?^wlth a concurrent system of homo
;-manufactured manures develop tho
uplands to double their prosont grain
nd grass capacity and in five years in
Piedmont or hill region of tho
the country would be self-sus
independent and rich. The
too, .being moro congonial and
p tho cotton fields would largely
flrd the richor soil and moro
to farther South, and tho
of our section dovolop
pact white population of
happy farmers, whose, homes and lands
would soon be double in value the alluv
ial cotton lands along tho groat Gulf.
Tho road to success in our section is
farming vice planting.
Gov. Evans, tho story goos, will re
duce tho State Constabulary to ono to
each Couuty or thereabouts. Ho be
liovos as things are now going that
force will be equal to tho enforcomont
Of the Dispensary law. That deponds;
maybe so, and maybe not; the affirma
tive squints towards the negative.
Th
There is talk that the President
will convene Congress in extra session
after March to have a Republican body
tackle the currency puzzle.

building, but in so badly burnod and
injured u condition as to be thought
useless for tho future. The fire was
conllned to this building thanks to its
