How Cotton is Picked in the South.

How Cotton is Picked in tic South.
A prominent Georgia cotton planter,
was seen the other evening airing him
self in the corridor of one Of the up
town hotels.
''When does cotton picking begin?"
''Not till the latter part of July, but
it is Just the time that the crop is ma
turing that we need the best weather.
After the cotton begins to ripen the
picking goes forward without intermis-
sion till the Christmas holidays, and
sometimes later"
CHOW is the picking done?"
each hand is supplied with a big
basket and a bag. The basket is left at
the end of the cotton row, and the bag
is suspended from the neck Of the picker
by strap, and is used to hold the cot
ton as it is taken from the boil When
the bag is full it is emptied into the
basket, and the operation is repeated all
day long"
GLOW much cotton can a single hand
pick in a day."
1.-The average picker can make from
$50 to 500 pounds Of seed cotton day,
but there are some colored people who
have become so expert that they can go
away beyond this amount. AS they are
only paid for what they pick there is
some incentive to work as quickly as pos
sible.
'But it's not in the nature of colOred
man to exert himself, even with pros
pect of making higher wages, and the
majority of them are fond of 'sojering'
It is no use trying to drive them, so the
| overseers let them do about as they
please. So long as VIC get the crop
gathered IN time it doesn't make much
difference. '-Neao York World.

the ployer's cry, which way to dash to

So it was arranged. One of the dra-
goons waded out to the parsons little
saiI-boat and drew her in so that the
Captain could step aboard dry-shOd,
after which he moored her out again.
Then the dragons went away into the
woods, and the Captain lay down in the
boat to watch and wait for events.
Events were rapidly approaching him
that he had no conception Of.
A big, floating bunch of sedSc grass
drifted out from near the shore toward
the boat, slowly approaching It closer and
closer. At length it seemed to lodge
against the boat. The Captain did not
notice it. He was looking in the oppo-
site direction Noiselessly q head rose
out of the water behind hirn-the head
Of Robert James0n-close by the bunch
Of floating grass. The next moment
long arm reached over the low side Of the
boat, and a powerful hand gripped the
Captains throat-gripped it with such
fcrocious energy that it cut off his breath,
made the world turn black before him,
and seemed to paralyze him. Before he
could make a movement OF self defense,
or a sound, a man rolled into the boat
upon him, and selling one OF his big
holster pistols that he had laid beside
him, dealt such blow upon his temple
that he was stunned and lay as still as if
dead.
When the Captain recovered his senses
he found himself bound hand and footwith
the anchor rope. His captor had stepped
the mast. The little sail was bellying full
with favori1g southeast breeze, and the
shore was far behind. TheneXt morning
he was turned over to the military author
tiles at New London as a prisoner; and
undesirable as that fortune Of war may
be deemed, he at least had the consOla-
ton of knowing that in the hands of
Americans he would suffer from no such
fiendish inhumanity as was practlced

Friday last the senate committee on
territories held Its opening session on
the Springer omnibus bill as it went 20
the senate from the house. The subject
was one of such interest that there was
full attendance of the committee. An
amendment was taken under considsra-
tion which strikes out the omnibus bill
provision for an election in South Dako-
ia and substitutes the following:
a vote in South Dakota on April 10,
on the acceptance or rejection OF the
Sioux Falls constitution. Ii majority
Is affirmative taen no constitutional con.
yension shall be held for South Dakota
and it shall be Immediately admitted as
O state by executive proclamation. The
vote must be osnvsssed within thirty
days after the election and the result
certified to the president by the govern
or, auditor and CHIEF justice of the ter
ritory. Thereupon the executive pro-
clamatlon is to be made and admission
completed. Next an election for state
and Judicial officers, mem bers OF the legis-
lature, and two members OF congress,
provided for on the fret Tuesday of
June. The state officers then elected
are 80 qualify at once and serve until
November, 1890. The legislature then
elected is to meet at Huron on July A.
elect two senators. and appoint q COM
mittee to join with the committee of the
North Dakota convention in dividing
the state delegation and adjusting other
questions arising out of the division of
the present territory.
Through this provision, which was
drafted by Judge Moody, South Dakota
can become state during the coming
summer, without any constitutional con-
yension, which is vast improvement
over the requirements of the Springer
bill. Another amendment strikes out
the section giving actual settlers on
school lands the right to purchase them
at an appraised valuation. The account
OF this committee meeting says:
The members Of the committee were
not favorablY impressed with the form OF
the bill, nor with Springsrs 8 capacity as
an architect OF legislation. They agreed,
republicans end democrats alike, that
the measure WAS crude. contradictory
obscure, and il-constructed. There
was good deal of doubt as to what
some OF the provisions meant, and the
committee were indisposed to express
an opinion upon them without more
light. Finally Senator Platt took the
bill for thorough examination. with
the understanding that another meeting
OF the committee should be called after
he had done SO.

WHO Owns the photogranhe

Justice North's decision in London
court that private photographs are pri-
vate property is reassertion, or rather
"a natural application, of principle
which should be familiar. Unscrupulous
photographers have claimed the right to
sell and exhibit photographs of their
customers against their will, and there
have been legal opinions confirming this
extraordinary view. Thus it has been
held that the employment and payment
of photographer to reproduce the feat
ures of a private person, for the latter's
private purposes, gave the photographer
a right to use the negative for the pub
lication of photographs for public sale
Justice North, however, declares the
photographer wholly in the wrong, and
aptly says that while the negative be-
longs to the photographer the copyright
is vested in the person photographed
This eminently sensible decision should
check a practice common abroad. For
tunateiy, this evil has been less prevalent
here, although it exists. and American
courts, we believe, have decided that the
photographer has no right to make mer-
chandise Of the likenesses of private Gus
toners. s.-Frank Leslie's Newspaper.

BOWEN d KINasBURY. Prop'trs

Goyernur Church has made the dis
covery that two-thirds legislative ma
j ority is greater than governor. He
might have ascertained this 10 clan
destine way and saved himself the humil.
iation of being thrust aside in contempt.
But he preferred to stand on the track
and let the locomotive toss him into the
ditch. He sent in veto OF the Yankton
insane asylum Investigation bill and the
Legislature promptly enacted it without
his consent. He vetoed the legislative
printing bill and it was passed over the
veto. He was very unwise governor
to veto the asylum bill. 1t provides for
enquiry into the acts of number of eff.
cials who were created by the governor
and are known to be his especial pets.
To keep himself from suspicion OF COL
lusion with these officials, if for no bet
ter reason, the governor should not have
attempted TO prevent she investigation.
1t is q matter OF common notoriety that
things hare been going wrong at the
insane asylum and that the truth or
falsity of these allegations might be
known the governor should have en-
couraged the inquiry the legislature pro-
posed, instead of using his executive
power to stay the investigation, The
taint of suspicion will now attach to him
as strongly as to the others concerned
and should the legislative committee
find that the charges ire well founded
tho governor can hardly escape implica-
tion in the popular Judgment.
These two acts of the Legislature in
passing by almost unanimous vote the
two bills vetoed by the governor is q
quick aud decisive reply TO his act OF
defiance of last week in sending in the
names of three appointees to be con-
firmed He was feeling OF the legisla-
ture and he's quickly ascertained that it
is in position ready TO meet MIN. When
he declared war against largely su.
perior force he did not show the wisdom
OF man great in diplomacy. He has
antagonizsd the oo-ordipate body early
in the session and has rocky road
Rhead of him unless he makes many
conoessions. In 1881 Governor Ordwey
tried the same tactics and throughout
the entire session the legislature held ite
two.thirds maj ority intact and passed
every bill that bore his veto. History
is liable TO repeat itseli in the case OF
Governor Church.

sPKlNGERs BILL.

How II Es Locked Enen by she People
OF North Dakota.
BIsmarck, Dakota, Jan. 24-The
Springer bill has attracted much atien-
tion during she week, and the fast that
1t is likely TO become law has had a
somewhat dampening effect upon the
bill for the constitutional convention for
North Dakota. OF course there may be
provisions in ths bill which the people
here do not fully comprehend, but the
feeling is general that 1t promises state
mood for both Dakofss by shorter cut
than the object can be reached in any
other way.
There is no hardship in the provision
whIoh submits the question of division
to vote Of the people, for the senti-
ment for division is ae strong in North
Dakota as it is IN the south. There is
no hardship in the provision which sub
mits sections OF the constitution to the
people OF South Dakota, for if they are
opposed to those features they had
better not be forced upon them by the
small vote which adopted them four
years ego. There will be no delay be-
cause the change in name and boundary
must be resubmitted anyway.
TO assume that the state will be rob-
bed under the school land provision of
the Springer bill is to assume that the
people do not deserve statehood and
still require the protecting care of the
United States government, 1t is libel
upon the people of Dakota TO assume it.
Minnesota does not require congress
sional protection in the matter OF the
oase of Its school lands and Dakota will
not. The lands will be appraised by
honest, capable men and the legislature
will throw all OF the guards around them
necessary for their protection. What
the two Dakotas want is an opportunity
TO govern themselves and when they
gam that right they can make such
changes in their constitution as they
desire.
1t is absurd to asGume that the demo-
Gratis will not concede all reasonable
amendments or that they will smother
the amended bill il they once get it back
INTO their hands. Why should they seek
to delay2 Why should they longer
withhold their approval? What are they
to gain by such course? Il mey not
be popular in Dakota to say 80. The
statements may be questioned, but be-
lieve state the situation truly when /
say there is more distrust OF the New
England republicans in Dakota to-day,

than there is OF the democrats in
the house. This feeling grows
out of the opposition OF these republic
cans to division when they controlled
both banches of the congress. and of
the course of Senator Hale, who, Of one
time, had greater interest in the settle
mens of Yankton county's bonded debt
than he had in laying the foundation for
two new republican states. Up to the
