AGRICULTURE IN THE SOUTH.

FORE THE INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION.
Washington. June 2O-The Industrial Commits
sion to-day continued it's investigation OF agri-
cultural conditions In the South. J. Polk Brown.
president OF the Agricultural Society OF Georgia,
was the first witness He said that the condi-
ton OF agriculture in the South was more de-
pressed than It had ever before been. More people
were ploughing barefooted and barebacked than
ever before. He agreed with the late Henry w.
Grady that the fault was with the soil or clim-
ate nor many had asserted. was IL entirely with
the tariff One OF the most prolific causes OF the
trouble was the fact that cotton was practically
the only crop. Another cause he asserted,
that education not sufficiently practical II
should teach people 10 do manual labor. So far
as the colored race concerned. there was
opening for them in the trades or professions.
MI Brown dwelt the presence Of the negro
the special OF the want Of development OF
the South. He regarded him retard!ng the in
dustrial, moral religious social and agricultural
development OF the section. and he felt that the
negroes were absent a better class Of labor would
take their place. The more pay the negro received
the less efficient ne was as a laborer Mr.. Brown
wanted the separated from the whites and
colonized either in this country or elsewhere In
the interest Of the Southern States. But the race
is not progressive. he said. and not disposed 70
adopt new methods and devices. The great
obstacle in the way Of the development OF the
manufacturing interests the want Of money.
Mr. Brown advocated diversified crops recon-
mending that each community should raise enough
OF everything to meet It's demands.
AT the afternoon session the Commission listened
to a statement from p. II. Lovejoy a merchant
and planter OF Hawknsville. Ga. He spoke
peciaily Of the relations between the local mer-
chants and the farmers. The merchants them
selves had been prosperous for several year,
