EMIGRATION IS
 THE SOLE TOPIC
NEGROES AND WHITES IN PART
 OF LAUDERDALE COUNTY ARE LISTENING TO ARGUMENTS OF AoENTs-sEPARATloN BETTER.

Rogersville, November s.-(speelal.)- The weather, politics, crop conditions and all other topics have taken a back seat and given way to the all-absorbing topic of African emigration throughout the Tennessee valley, from Decatur to Florence. Whites and blacks alike are talking of Africa and discussing the fu- ture.
 About four months ago Professor Car michael a man well acquainted with the conditions in this country and cer- tainly knowing something of his people in Africa has been travelling through here telling his people of the promised land beyond the seas So eloquent and pertinent have been his arguments that nearly the entire black population of this valley are worshipping at his feet. and net a day passes but that prayers are sent up for strength and means to bear them over to their fatherland.
 Mir Hummer, the head of the Liberan Colonization society of Birmingham, has visited the valley to advise with them in reference to making the journey, and his presence has added ruei 10 the flame. He has not only confirmed Carmichaers arguments. but has alsu convinced the white planters that this movement will also emancipate them from an agricul- tural and commercial system which has for many years been making paupers oI them His arguments that the negro has been. and is today standing in the way of progressive farming; that the poor, unproductive farms of today can and will be made to yield bountiful har- vest under the skilled hand of the Ger man and northwestern emigrant as soon as the negro is out of the way, Is logical, se. sive and best white people in this val ley. Almost without an exception the white people are advising and encourage ing the movement H. S. NANCE.

THE RISE IN COTTON
Evidence Given Showing 1t

With Crop Of lO,rOO, 900 Bales Last Years
Weight We've 2,65O,OO0 to Meet
$780, 900 Demand.
Especial to News and observer)

Especial to News and Observer.)
New York, March 5.-Within the past
few days the cotton market has COM
menced to make some recognition of the
facts underlying the situation, and the
highest prices established thus far this
season have been recorded.
1t appears more and more evident, how
ever, that the advance has but just COM
menced. So deep-seated was the belief
abroad in the large crops estimate of
Neil and others that until recently the
foreign trade has steadfastly refused to
believe the evidence put before them that
the American crop was very short one.
in day or two. however, their attitude
seems to have changed.
The firmness of Southern holdings and
their unwillingness to sell except at full
prices, has been the most convincing ar
gument that could be offered, and Europe,
now finding that it is unlikely to secure
the balance of it's supply of cotton at
present prices, is eagerly advancing it's
bids in an effort to secure what is needed
1t is obvious that Europe will require
from March first out of this years crop
100000 bales 1t is equally obvious that
America requires at least as much if not
more Three million six hundred thousand
is therefore a low estimate of the cot
ton that must be had by the worlds spin
ners in order to avoid the stoppage of
their machinery.
The stocks at the Southern ports and
he of
the month were approximately 10000
bales. minimum estimate of the stocks
necessary in America to the conduct of
business al the end of the year is $780,
00O Less than this means the closest
corner the world has ever known. If this
crop is even 100000 bales, and adhere
to my belief that is only about 100000
bales of last years weight, there is to
come In sight from March 1st maximum
OF 100000. Assuming therefore crop
of $10,o00,000 we have a maximum supply
of only $500 bales with which to meet
a minimum demapd OF 100000.
Under these circumstances, l believe
! that cotton at nine cents pound is very
cheap and that even at ten cents pound
| the legitimate demand for 1t from spin
ners who must have 1t will be more eager
than II is at present. So far as the spec
ulative market is concerned August is
! logically the month in which the strin-
gency will be most acutely felt and l ven-
| ture the opinion that August contracts
which are selling at a discount Of some
| fifteen points as compared with July. will
! ultimately prove to be the cheapest on the
list. THEODORE H. PRICE.

AS POTTER SEES II
Main Thing Dividing the Me-
gro From the White,
Lack Of Culture, Says The Bishop. He Con-
graduated Roosevelt on Entertaining
Booker Washington.
fBv the Associated Press.)

New York, March 5.-Bishop Potter
was chairman and Booker t. Washing
ton, the principal speaker, at meeting
held tonight, at Carnegie Hall in the
interest of the Hampton and Tuskegee
Institutes. The meeting was held under
the auspices of the Armstrong Associa-
tion
Robert C. Ogden, President of the Arm
strong Association, introduced Bishop
Potter, who said in part:
I'VE must deal with the black man as
a problem, not in fragments, but as
whole. In doing this, we must be pre-
pared not to meet with a great deal of
sympathy from certain quarters. / must
confess that the first man who entered
my mind as / entered this hall was the
senior Senator from South Carolina.
Some time ago in Boston he delivered
himself of the strange utteranceS that
what these institutions at Hampton and
Tuskegee was doing was but to educate
the negro, so as to enable him to enter
the trades and crowd out the white peo-
ple This is peculiar discrimination to
make just as we have begun to elevate
the colored men and women. We ought
to realize that the main thing that di-
vides the negro from the white is the
lack of culture, and that by giving him
this culture we will ennoble him and
raise him to a level of intelligence and
creative citizenship.
Mr.. Washington was introduced by
Bishop Potter, who said that after the
President had entertained Booker T.
Washington as his guest he telegraphed
him as follows:
He was guest at my table last winter,
and never entertained worthier one.''
Some how or other,'' continued the
Bishop, MY message became public, and
since that time / have received numerous
letters from people South of the Mason
and Dixon line, entreating me not to
show myself in their neighborhood, as
their citizens had no desire to entertain
me-
Mr.. Washington was received with
great applause.
Mr.. Washington said:
IF we would discuss what is known
as the race question with any degree of
benefit, we must place ourselves in the
position of the Southern white man and
at the same time nut ourselves in the
place of the negro. Nothing will be
gained for either race or for any section
of our country by bitter attacks and
criticisms.
HE thought that in learning
to cultivate the soil intelligently lay the
Negroes salvation, and that he should be
kept out of the large cities. especially
those of the North. He added
''Out of her poverty the South has done
well, but the tremendous demands upon
her for the education of two races should
enlist your hearty interest and support.
Providing for the education in the South
is not a matter of giving aims or mere
philanthropy: it is a matter of business
that concerns the whole country

Masonic Temple.
The Masons of North Caroline are
actively at work preparing to erect at
some point in the State a Masonic Tenn
pie.
Grand Master H. I. Clark, of Scotland
Neck has sent circular letter to the
Mayors of the leading cities in the State.
asking them to present the matter to
their citizens in order to see which city
of the State most earnestly desires to
have this permanent home Of the Grand
Lodge of Masons.
Raleigh is the logical place for this
building, and it is understood that it
will be located here if the proper en-
couragement is given. The Capital City
has the advantages of accessibility and
ample accommodations. and all that is
needed is a prompt cooperation with
Masons.
The plans for the building are admir-
able, and the structure to be erected
would reflect credit on the city. The
people of Raleigh should see to 1t that
the Masonic Temple is erected in this
city.
