M-... Bulletin: The New
orItth' $ estimates the cotton crop
Of this year at 6,Oo0, 900 bales. but the
great drawback now is Go find enough
laborers to gather such large crop. On
this subject our city contemporary refers
to u novel yet very plausible plan to Sc
cure laborers for the South. 1t is sug
gestod by Dr. Phelps, large Mississippi
planter. His plan is that the MANY
laborers who are out Of employment
dnr'ng onr cotton picking season shall
en1gratc to our section in companies of
twenty to fifty persons, provided with
tents, cooking utensils, ctr. Thus
equipped they can move from one plan.
tation to another and get work at fair
wages from now until January. In a few
years enough money can be accumulated
to buy farms and bccolne thrifty planters.
The plan isagood one and nothing but
the most satisfactory results can flow
from it.

heard.
