cotton and higher prices, until
our farm labor is supplemented
by white immigration. We can
not now, and would not if we
could, buy slaves to make up the
deficiency as our forefathers did
in 1900.
do not undertake to say that
white immigration is to be the
only means of increasing the cot
ton crop. The seriousness of the
present deficiency is the result of
two very poor crops in succession.
Possibly next year may be full
crop and the Immediate scarcity
would in a degree disappear. The
development of better knowl

situation, on = larger scale, than
she WAS in 1900.

Her manufactures are re- estab
lished and are we'll diversified.
Commerce has revived. Free
white labor is re- established In
the high respect Of every body.
Public education Is established
Slavery is destroyed.
The production Of cotton is
very profitable and the world
again demands more than we
can supply, as was the case in
1900
Labor is scarce and cannot
again buy slaves to supply the
want. Land is plenty the price
of II Is cheap it Is fertile and the
climate healthy.
ln TINS situation the conditions
which forced emf grafton are gone
and emigration has ceased.
In this condition the conditions
which stopped immigration are
gone, and conditions in the cotton
region are now more favorable to
immigration from the north or
from Europe than they are in
any other part of the United
States or Of the world.
The civil war was not the great
disaster Of the south. The es-
tablishment of slavery was the
south's one great disaster. No
war could have made the wreck
and ruin that fell upon the south
and staId with US for fifteen TO
twenty five years after the war.
1t was the fall of slavery that
brought us for so long a time 60
near anarchy.
After the disestablishment of
slavery and the re-ests blish ment
Of good government, manufac,
lures and commerce revived, the
south has again reached u gener-
al development similar to what
existed in 1900.
Immediately after tho civil
war agricultural conditions still
prevailed. As long as this situa
tion held, much improvement,
was out of the question. AS soon
as manufactures and commerce
are re established the agrlcultur.
al interests are at once immen-
sely benefited. The following
! figures as TO cotton, made In
round numbers as to bales and
price, will IN measure show
this. La the first decade after the
clvll war there was "A production
of 100000 bales, at "a cents
which yielded $500, 900. In the
second decade 100000 bales al
II cents, which yielded $500, ,009,
600. In the third decade 10000,
900 bales at 6 cents, which yield.
cd $300,00O,000. Up to this time
agriculture was practically the
main occupation. After this
manufactures became important,
absorbing much farm labor and
made markets for perishable
farm products.
Under these Influences the
south made of cotton in the 4th
decade, 100000 bales at IL
cents, yielding $6OO,O0O,OOO. For
the first time tie tide turns.
Formerly when IN ton years the
crop WAS doubled the price was
cut in half. Now when in ton
years the crop is not increased at
all the price is doubled.
Arc those new conditions stabis
think they are good for some
time to come.

TURN OF fHE TIDE.
The Outlook Specially Favorable
tor the Farming Interests of
the South.
ID. A. Tompklns, Of Charlotte
in Atlanta Constitution.

StlCu utlon OF slavery nau no more
dominating Influence in the soul h
than it had In any other part Of
the country the interests of the
south were a. much divcrsI fed X
those Of any other part of th"
country. There were ample ap
preciatinn by our torefathers OF
eighteenth century of the ahnud
ance of the natural resources Of
this section besides the fertility
of the soil and the heallhfulness
of the climate. About the be
ginning Of the nineteenth century
the southern states had well de-
veloped manufacturing interests.
There is ho doubt that at that
time the south led the rest of the
union in manufactul es. The cot.
ton gin had been invented by
Whitney, of Connecti i'm
proved and made practical sue
cess by Holmes, of South Caro-.
lima and Georgia. This inven
ton made cotton produce very
profitable and by lndlrection
stimulated all agricultural In.
terests. The one hIndrance and
handicap to lncreasing develop
ment in the south was scarcity Of
labor.
Had our forefathers then abol-
lshed slavery the dependence OF
labor would have been white I'M
migration. What the result
would have been had that been
done is necessarily speculative
My opinion is that if tins had
been done the south's manufac
lures would never have been
lost, but wound have prospered
and always continued to lead and
that the production of cotton
would have been greater than IT
was by the system of slave abor.
There was strong southern
sentiment in opposition to slavery
at that time, but nothing was
done to stop il, and the demand
for agricultural labor was chiefly
supplied by the purchase Of
slaves from the northern states
and from slave traders who i'm
ported them direct from Africa.
1t transpired that the produc-
ton of cotton with slave labor
was very profitable and the life
of the planter and slave owner
was a very attractive one. This
life was in some respects semi
feudal and in other respects semi
magnificent, as slavery grew in
magnitude, Importance and in
t1uence manufactures and com
merce declined. In 1880 the in
stitution of slavery had become
practically dominant and manu-
factures had become practically
dried up.
INFLUENCE OF SLAVERY.
When slavery bacame an es-
tablished proposition in the
south immigration ceased. As
1t grew in influence there was
developed q tide of em emigration
from the Piedmont region of
Virginia, the CarolinAs and Geor-
gia to the then northwest; the
territory now largely made up
of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois.
Many of the we'll known names
in those states are those of men
who wero in this tide, such as
Lincoln, Harrison, Thurman, ,Can-

are probably fifty thousand more

are probably fifty thousand more
working in cotton oil mills, ferti-
lizer factories, furniture factor
les, trOuser and other factories
and on the railroads. This
makes one hundred thousand
most of whom have left farms
inside of twenty years. Assum-
ing as many others in each OF the
cotton growing states we have
about one million working people
In factories, on railroads and in
commercial life. This change is,
In my opinion, the cause of the
present shortage in the cotton
crop
L la not alone that this mum.
ber of people have been taken
out of the cotton fields, but their
support mahes cash markets for
perishable farm products. Thus
has turned many farmers to the
production of fruit, truck, milk,
butter and such like farm pro-
ducts In pre-! erence to cotton.
THE REMEDY-IMMIGRAT
What of the remedy2
Some immediate help could be
gained If the idle negroes in cities
and towns should be driven out.
This could be readily done under
existing vagrancy and criminal
laws. The influence of idle ne
groes In town ls very pad. If
driven ont they could not live in
the country without work. The
parasitic opportunity that the
city furnishes does not exist in
the country.
Coming from Charlotte to At.
lanta, | saw many fields Of cotton
where there was good picking.
but nobody doing it. saw a g."
groups Of idle, loafing negroes
practically in every town on the
way. | saw no such groups OF
idle white people.
If loafers, white and black,
could be forced to work on their
own account or on the public
highways for the county's &C
count, kitchens would be more
economically operated by the
cooks, we would get more cotton
and the public highways would
he much benefited for use in
hanling cotton and other goods.
The remedy that will give per
manent relief is white lmmigra-
ton. Ii was useless to discuss
white IMMIGRATION to the cotton
country as long as slavery exist
ed. 1t was still useless as long as
the white labor of the south was
not yet wholly employed.
The south WAS not an attractive
field for the immigrant when cot
ton was cheap, when there was
no market for other farm pro-
ducts, when there was no profit
able employment for those mem
bsrs of q family who preferred
other occupations than that on
farm, and when there were no
public schools.

GIVES NOTE
Of v ARNING
TO DRINKERS
Government Chemist
Makes Startling
Statement.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CALL BUREAU. HOTEL BARTON,
WASHINGTON. Oct. 13.-Following
close on the whisky fatalities of New
York and the subsequent revelations
there, DIR. c. W. Wiley, chief of the
Government Bureau of Chemistry,
sounded a note of warning to-day. In
an interview he expressed the opinion
that fully SO per cent of all the whisky
sold in this country in hotels, restau-
rants, clubs and bars was nothing less
than cheap imitation. While this may
not be fatally poisonous, very much of
it is dangerous to the human system
even when taken moderately and it is
all a fraud on the public.
The Government, through the Bu-
reau of Chemistry, has already begun
an investigation. For the remedy DR..
Wiley suggests better laws, regulating
the sale of strong drink, the most i'm
portant of which shall be a statute
compelling real and spurious articles
to be labeled as such. The passage of
the pure food bill now pending in Con-
gress. he says, will aid any laws the
States may now have or in the fu-
ture.
II am not surprised said DR.. Wiley
to-day, "at the revelations recently
made in New York concerning the or
binary whisky of commerce. 1 have
tried to convey a warning in times
past and the situation as developed
simply gives practical illustration of
the necessity of this warning. The
Bureau of Chemistry has already en-
- 10
whiskies to ascertain the difference be-
tween the pure and the adulterated and
particularly to find out the ingredients
of the latter 1 have ordered $50
samples of whisky now in bond from
the Internal Revenue Bureau OF the
Government. From what we have
heard from dealers in whisky am led
to believe that IS per cent of the or
binary whisky of commerce is adulter-
ated."

WHITE CHILD IS VICTIM
OF BARBAROUS SUPERSTITION
Murdered by West Indian Negro, Who
Desired to Work Spell on a
Judge.

JAMESTOWN, Island of st. Vincent.
Oct. 13.-Police investigation into the
matter of the murder of a little white
boy, whose heart and dismembered
hands were found in the house of an
obiman NEGRO sorcerer) in the island of
ST. Lucia, has resulted in the arrest of
a seemingly intelligent negro butcher
and a disclosure of barbarous supersti-
ton and diabolism that survives to a
startling extent in the West Indies, the
heritage of a savage ancestry.
The child it appears was the victim
of the desire of. the man now in Gus
tody, and who had been concerned in
some litigation, to work a spell' upon
the Judge of the Supreme Court who
was to try the case. To this end, at the
direction of the obiman whom he con-
suited, the negro decoyed the child to
the house of the obiman, on deserted
estate in the extreme northern part of
St Lucia, and there the child was MUIR
dered and his corpse dismembered.
