wants to take care OF the child labor
question so far as it affects the South.
We don't doubt that evils exist in fac

next to impossible TO get at those evils
from the outside, particularly if the
outside means the North. This does
not argue, however. that there should

Tho truth is, the North is better equip

agencies for stimulating the altruistic
spirit. Nevertheless, it can perhaps
be said with safety that the South, as
far as it's means will go, is further adj

COST OF PRODUCING COTTON.

4 shor. while ago n Northern news
paper printed that Capt. c. n. Allen.
n leading cotton farmer of Wake coun-
ty and member of the State Board OF
Agriculture had given it as his opin-
ion that he could raise cotton at q
cost of five cents a pound. Upon the
basis Of That statement the paper, had
hundred per cent. profit cotton farm
ers make when they receive ten cents
q pound for cotton.
What are the facts? Capt. Allen,
interviewed about the matter. said
that more than ten years ago when
labor. mules, supplies cf all kinds
were much lover than now, he had
n.ade cotton at n cost of little less
than five cents yound. But cotton
that could be made at five cents then
when labor was plentiful and cheap.
cannot now be made ut anything like
that price. 1t costs fifty per cent.
more now to make It than ten or
twelve years ago"
As matter of fact, some farmers
make cotton more cheGr!v than
others, but when you go to get the
item of cost from those who say they
make it at five cents. in nearly every
instance You find that they do not
count their own labor or the labor OF
their children in the total cost. The
farmer who sells his cotton at less
taan eight cents is living on the hor-
der line of working for nothing and
boarding himself.
