LUCK OF A MlSSlSSlPPlAN.
Colonel {. II. Power Takes $685. 600
From Monte Carlo.

New York, April 1.-THE Journal
has the following:
Paris, April 10.-Haying succeeded
where the Duchess Of Roxburghe fail
ed, Colonel e. II. Power, of Mississippi,
has just returned from Monte Carlo
with 1,G25, 900 francs won at the gam
ing tables in the most remarkable
series of plays in the history of the
resort. The fair American Duchess
dropped a snug fortune in the amuse-
ment,
Between the Duke and the Duchess
Of ROxburghe, the Casino was notice
ably enriched. 1t is not known ex-
actly how much they paid for their
relaxation.
Colonel Power carried away one of
the largest winnings ever made by a
single player. He went to the Riviera
to rest, after organizing the Interna-
tional Finance Corporation, with a
capital of $40, 900, 900. His enormous
winnings were the fruit of an invest
ment Of 10 louis. His first coup re-
suited in a winning of $3.50. His luck
was invincible.
Colonel Powers appearance at the
Casino each night after dinner was
the u to lasting cheers from the
regulars, who Immediately flocked to
his table and followed his play. Time
and again the %croupier sent messen-
gers to repleniSh the bank.
Colonel Power did not play any par
ticular system, but firted with luck
until he found a response, and then
began to plunge. He would not play
If he did not feel lucky. He does not
believe in systems, principally because
they involve work, and it is rest he
seeks.

SOUTHERN FARMERS WITH MONEY
TO LEND.

Never in its history was the aeri.
cultural South in the condition OF
prosperity it is now enjoying. Slave
labor gave it only an illusory prosper
ity by comparison with the substan-
tial wealth it now has. The time
when the planter or the farmer had tG
mortgages one crop or two crops
ahead in order to get the money to
continue his operations has passed,
and it will not return. Instead Of re-
quiring the advances from commission
merchants which once kept him poor,
he has now q balance in bank to his
credit, and he has become his own
master. So far has this gone that
now Southern banks are sending a
vast aggregate of money to Wall street
to be lent out on call. The farmers
at home are begging for it no longer.
They have money Of their own, and
money to lend. Nowhere else in the
world is there an agricultural class so
prosperous.
Meantime Southern manufactures
are turning out a great volume of pro-
ductiOn, and every enterprise at the
South is pushing ahead with prosper
Gus energy, The development every
where is without precedent in South
ern experience and few precedents in
any American experience. Hamlets
are speedily transformed into flourish
ing towns, with every improvement
and appliance of the late scientific in
ventiOn. At Southern ports there is
an extraordinary increase in the
amount of business done. Southern
railways IRE taxed to the utmost to
handle the traffic of the newly
aroused region.
So great is this development of act
ivity in every direction that complaints
come frequently and widely from the
South that the only bar to it's further
progress is an inSufficiency Of labor.
Doubtless these complaints are juSti-
lCu III SOlIlC lIISUdIIGtS, DIU UIlc very y
circumstance that the development of
recent years has been SO astonishing,
even to the Southern people them
would seem to indicate. that
heretofore they have been exaggerated.
1t is obvious, however, that the time
las come when the South needs a di-
version Of the stream Of immigration
n its direction, and its extraordinary
uneXamplcd in this cOun-
5ry-Or in any other part of the agri-
cultural world, at leaSt-wOuld seem
specially to invite this accession to
IS labor supply. We read in South
IN papers Of a considerable stream Of
immigration from the North, but on
his alone it is not safe to rely for the
needed additional population. Almost
t is not likely to give mere than q
light lift, comparatively. The negro
problem? It will solve itSef in the
latUral and inevitable development Of
he South. New York sun.

SCARCITY OF LABOR.

The demoralizing effect of. the re-
cent lynching at Doddsville upon the
labor in the delta is already apparent,
and the report comes from that Sec
tion that labor, which had been abund-
ant, is now greatly in demand. The
percentage in cotton acreage in the
delta is much less than last year, one
estimate being that it is ten per cent
less. This may be an exaggeration,
but it Is undoubtedly true that there
is not now enough labor in the delta
to put all Of the cotton lands In culti-
walton this year.
That this is due to the performances
of the mob is undoubtedly true just
as whitecapping in several southern
counties of the state, on the line of
the /. G. railroad, drove numbers Of
negroes away.
If the people in the delta care for
the value of their lands, it would be
well for them to stop this mob vio-
lence in their section of the state, or
they will find themselves without la
Dor to work their place. And this
brings up the reflection of the infinite
amount of harm Of every kind follow
ing in the trail of these mad perform
anceS of the mob. They are demon
alizing to the white people, they are
demOralizing to the negroes, and will
prove, if persisted in, of %incalculable
injury to the material prosperity of
the state. Their immediate effect is
to drive away the labor, and they give
the state such a name for lawleSSneSS
that the white labOrerS Of the north
and west will not come here to take
of the negroes who leave the
state.
These considerations come at once
into view, and they cannot be diSre-
with impunity.
If we will make a condition Of af-
fairs in the state such that the farm
Iaborers of the north can be induced to
come here, the result would be a great
improvement and benefit to the state.
And then, if the negroes should
Of their own vOlition, and not
because of any apprehenSions of their
)wn safety, to leave the state in any
numbers, there would be
/ distinct improvement in racial con-
litionS. But as matters stand now,
md as they bid fair to remain for
many years TO come, the landowners
n this state can not afford to drive
way or to demoralizc the negro labor
hat is giving value to their lands

The NatcheZ Bulletin is eminently
correct when it says that farmers
should plant sweet potatoes in abund-
ause. Some years ago these escul-
eutS became somewhat of a drug on
the market, selling as low as twenty
five cents d bushel, but now they are
worth three or four times the amount
and are hard to obtain. . They are
very prolific, too, and do not require
q very great amount of cultivation.
