seeing that number OF correspond-

employment of negro labor in cotton

of the South we'll know that they cannot
trust him even with late improved farm
machinery. Then would ask, III tile
name of reason. how can we trust him
with the improved machinery OF the cot
ton mill? If we wish to compete with
our Northcrn brethren, in the markets

toned Southern men if they entertain

even as matter Of business, much less
if they are patriotic and love their race.
Let the b,,yS and girls of the gallant he
roesof the ARMIES Of the South control
this field of industry. believe that TIE
class employed here will m fully able to
cope with I'LL the demands made upon it
by sharp competition, if the ownvr> of
