OF THE
COTTON INDUSTRY

A cotton picker has been invented
by Mr. Angus Campben. says the
Memphis Morning News. The test of
the invention has proved 50 s:/Sfae-
tory that contracts have been signed
by Mr.. Campbell to pick 1000 acres
OF cotton in the Delta this fan This
machine is said to pick IN the trial
93.7 of the cotton that was open With
out any danger to leaves, boDs or
stalk. 1t is believed that it is safe
to estimate the capacity of the ma
chine at least three bales per day.
If Mr.. Angus Campbelrs cotton
picking machine should prove a sue
cess, what will become OF the South
ern negro during the autumn months
These cotton picking machines Will
probably be leased to contractors who
in time will undertake to gather the
crop on the contract basis. or the ma
chimes may be offered on the market
for sale to all who are able TO pur-
chase them.
Now should the machines be let to
contractors this would throw 81
enormous boQy OF labor out Of employ
ment, and as to whether the small
farmer could continue to raise cotton
would depend upon the business meth
ods of the cotton picking machine
company.
It might be that the machine oper.

Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1902-05-25

1t would be difficult to predict what
the effect Of this would be.
1t is the task of the wise legislator
late the uphuildins Of textile indus
rios and give even greater opportuni-
ties Of employment to labor, and by
decreasing the cost Of the raw ma
terial afford cheaper wearing apparel
for the public
On the other hand it might result
in a cotton raisers' trust which would
force the small farmers out, limit the
opportunities for labor and pocket the
saving arising from reduced cost OF
production, while cotton goods would
sell in the market at the same old
price.
Steady and remunerative employ
ment for labor is the first essential
of industrial progress and social or
der. Improved machinery, while it
decreases the cost of production, has
a tendency to limit the chances of the
individual members Of society to earn
an honest living.
This is an unfortunate condition.
but it is an economic truth, and one,
too, that should receive conscientious
investigation from patriotic citizens.
1t is the task Of ne wise legislator
to keep pace with the ingenuity OF
the inventor. so as to preserve the
equilibrium between mechanical pro-
gress and material prosperity.

AN OCEAN VOYAGE
Described by a Little Girl From

Nearing Liverpool, on board the

eastward at the rate OF about 400
miles day, and have been since Sat
urday May 3. We left New York at
l D. m. between two tugs which helped
our big ship out into mid stream,
NTH her prov turned toward mid
ocean. The largest crowd | ever saw
was down at the pier to Did our big
ships company sood-by. Many re-
manned on bcerd with their friends
until the gong sounded as signal for
the ship 20 start. and TIM stood ON
dock waving their handkcrchiefs un-
til we we're lost to view down the
bay. | didn't have anybody to wave
to, but ! thought of grandpa and
aunty and wondered what they were
doing at home.

buildings and other things for me to
remember also the Statue of Liberty.

approached it. 1t was presented to

AS we passed out of the bay, it was
crowded with lots of small boats Or
tugs crowded with people, as was
every other place we went to in New
York, and such lot of strange flags
Each ship with different colored one.
1t looked pretty to see them. Once Or
twice we saw the topmast of sunk

every day has not been as beautiful
as this one on the sea. About 4
o'clock, soon after we We're out of

would surely fall off. This was the
last thing we saw of anything left on
the American side. We watched the
waves for while. for the weather
had turned so cold by this time that
we could not stay out any longer.
