just now Is tho most peaceful and prosper
Gus tme the bIaets OF the Mississippi coun-
try hnve enjoyed since tho war, more es-
peclally on tho Louisiana side, and most of
all In the upper parishes Madison, Carroll
and Morehouse.
Almost every black man on that slide who
stayed Mt homo has cotton enough TO pay all
his debts and have u good deal of money left.
In tho best part OF Madison they told me they
counted on bale and quarter per acre -
quite equal to forty bushels Of wheat per acre
In Indiana.
In many localities cotton plckers now get
from rs cents 30 81 per hundred and good
hands can average $50 pounds, while an o.
casional woman can go up to 400. sTn many
Instances o man and wife earn So or SO per
day. The crop IL so large that this busy sea-
son will last till Christmas and planters are
now bidding against each other for laborers.
Every wagon that brings In cotton takes
out n load of town dnrltB. who, / am told,
will work four or five days, then come to
town and spree 1t out The country negroes
are more proyldent. The average earnings OF
u cotton picker arc put ut $40 per week Even
the roustabouts on tho steamers get $40 per
month and boarded Ut Is very hard work,
thouRh1. and lcvee hands get from 25 cents 10
40 cents un hour, according to the pressure.
