the privilege OF getting your name written
on the debit side OF ledger. The only
possible advantage il can afford the colored
man in the South is tina. it enables some
oil them who are anxious to become renters
OF cotton lands, and who are without the
means to maintain themselves and family
during the crop year, to do SO. The mer-
chant advances all the supplies and cloth
ing necessary, and takes lien on the cot
ton crop rs his security. He runs the risk
OF crop failure, while II the crop is good
one his colored debtor can pay him off
easily, II he has not allowed his name to
be written too often during the year.
A few colored men are engaging in mer-
camille business in some of the towns of
the South. Thus far the greatest obstacle
to their success is that their own race will
not patronize them to any considerable
extent. There is partial exception TO the
rule in the firm OF Hodges Il Humphreys
at Forrest City, but the heavy colored trade
OF that county is controlled by the two
houses Of Roilwage and Russell, the two
white candidates for School Director at
the recent election, and who, for years,
have been the creditors OF the men whom
Nicely and his white allies attempted to
organize against them.
OTHER INDUSTRIES.
In skansas cotton is king. II over
shadows everything else, and all other
products by comparison appear TO be in.
consequential. The aggregate annual
value Of other productions is. however, an
important figure in the total sum OF the
States prosperity. Some OF the figures
affecting value OF timber have already
been given. This great industry is but in
its infancy, but its development Is more
rapid than ever before. New sawmils are
being built in every timber county OF the
State. Formerly, and not many years
ago, these mills were erected mainly along
the water courses, but the railroads already
built and those TO be built in the future
are necessitating their location at other
points. The cost OF railroad building is
comparatively low in Arkansas, as engi.
neering difficulties are not great, and ties
are remarkably cheap. The operating ex.
penses will be no larger here than else.
where, for coal is abundant and water
everywhere.
There is a class OF small growers in tho
State who are TO be denominated farmers
rather than planters, who contribute con.
siderably in the aggregate TO the general
prosperity. They do not raise much cot
ton, but diversity their crops with view
OF supplying the wants OF their families
and stock. They raise corn OF good quail
ity and considerable quantity, but very
little for sale. Considerable OF their atten.
ton is turned TO fruit raising. and in the
line OF apples particularly their hortcul.
tural efforts have met with a great degree
OF success. In the smaller fruits, also
they have been successful. Arkansa:
ships great quantities Of fruit annually
for which she receives heavy revenue in
return.
Tho balance OF trade Is always in iavol
OF tho State. Her exports always exceed
her imports, and will continue to do so u
long US American cotton remains king.

reached the goal before the second
