The NeGrO's Passing Opportunity. Ma rnni

New York Tribune.
 It Is doubtless unjust to lay up against the negro as his peculiar sin the fact that the Southern cotton planter is loud in his demapds for Kansas wheat farmer. the New York housekeeper Issue the same call When five thousand laborers are needed in It's fields. and from every section of the country come complaints that ef- surprising that the negro does not take to the cotton fields with desired enthusiasm.
 southern paper contains accounts of European trips to secure white agri- cultural labor. and tells of the satis- factory work of Italians at cotton rais- ing and the prospect of large immi- hooves, the friends and leaders of the colored people give attention to their Tight social and political Wrongs for a :, people who forget to preserve for will enable them to enjoy their rights. The negro has the first bid to do the work of the cotton fields. If he will ilege forever To him it wwill be the 6ass of and b the doSr teaching was to the ambitious young New Englander of fifty years ago grant girl, who very likely in a few years has comfortable home of her own. But if he sacrifices this fort ress he surrenders his future. There Is no other ready resource for the bulk of the .colored people, and If white @ neighbors vii encourage them porous in doing. they viii forfeit. a which Is of the greatest importance.
 The South is no longer satisfied with the abuse of it's fields. It is awake to the demands of successful agriculture and'to the dangers of | foreign competition in cotton grow ing. It is determined to maintain its supremacy and to secure efficient la | bor. A dispatch reports that the larg- est planter in the Mississippi delta Is now on his way to Europe. saying that he is convinced. after long experience, that the people of the South must cease relying on the negro labor for snbstitution of millions of white for millions of negroes on the planta- tions Is a matter of years and could never be carried out to anything like completion. But every. substitution of this kind means the loss of opport- unity to some negroes, not merely to earn a living in the cotton fields, but to establish themselves on firm foundation. Every negro leader, every | farm conference and every school should exert the utmost influence to arouse the colored people to do this work and 10 do 1t well.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1905-08-02
COTTON AND IMMIGRATION.

In another place in this issue Will be found an editorial from The New York Tribune which is worthy of spe- c,al attention. The Tribune is a Re- publican newspaper and 1t would be well if those who consider themselves in any way leaders of the colored race could read the article and convey its import to their people. We are sure it would have a good effect if properly explained.
 What The Tribune says about "agi- tation to right social and political wrongs" is only incidentally connect ed with the real question at issue. and need not be discussed here. further than to say that there would be little agitation were it not for outside in- termeddling, but we will let that pass. The main thing Is that the negroes are fast losing the opportunity to lead in- dustrious and useful lives, and that they will have none but themselves to thank if they lose their places In the fields of the South and their places are filled by laborers who are willing to work for a living.
 There is no doubt that at one time the negroes furnished the best lrbor for the cotton plantations that could be obtained. They were industrious and faithful, and were little affected by the heat or by the unhealthful con ditions prevailing in the richest farm- ing sections of this latitude. They were easily governed and were willing to work under the direction and guid- ance of the whites. and they give little trouble unless influenced by outsiders.
 This is a fair statement of the con- ditions formerly prevailing In the South, especially in the cotton region. The best friends and advocates of the colored race cannot deny that condi- tions have very much changed for the worse. The negroes are becoming un- reliable and their labor more so. whenever and wherever opportunity offers they abandon the farms and flock to the towns and cities. There few of them find employment, but a large percentage become idiers, loafers and criminals. There is hardly a town of any size to be found in the South which has not a surplus of idle and absolute negroes. They are a burden. a nuis- ance and a menace. and the evil Is con- tinually growing worse. How to deal with this evil is a problem which the wisest have not solved.
 While these unsatisfactory and in- soluble conditions prevail In the towns and cities the land owners yearly find it mere dinlcult to obtain labor, es- pecially in the cotton fields. Field hands are not only scarcer. but more unreliable. and 1t is not strange that the cotton growers are looking abroad for labor that can be depended on. This is why we are hearing SO much about immigration. and why immigra- ton societies are being formed in all sections of the South. The planters are confronted with a problem that of fers but two solutions: one Is to cur tail or abandon cotton growing and the other to obtain labor from abroad. They win not abandon cotton if there

SOME MORE FROGS.

Since writing our luminous article about frogs we have learned some other items of interest about the long, legged bird of the melodious voice. and not the least interesting Is the state- ment made on the authority of the United States Fish Commission that from 75,o0o to 100000 pounds of frogs legs are annually sold in Fulton Mar ket, New York, alone. This indicates a much larger production and a much greater demand for the toothsome deli cacy than we had imagined. The mar ket price is not given, but such a de- mand indicates profitable prices.
 Another thing we have learned, Virginia Is not to be left out of the race for frog supremacy. In fact, The Richmond Times-Dispatch claims that certain section of that State produce more bull-frogs per acre than any of the Missouri or Arkansas lands." and 1t wants "the bull-frog industry to open up at once in Virginia" Certain ly; let 1t open up wherever there's money in 1t. It will not be long. we predict, before the trusts will have their grip on frog-meat, as they have on all other kinds. but in the meanwhile lovers of the delicacy can be enjoying themselves if the experiments pan out well.

NO NEED roR ALARM.

The Advertiser believes in conhding in the public and giving them such in- formation as can be obtained from ab- solutely reliable sources.
 On this principle, 1t publishes this morning an important communication from the Board of Health of this city. That body is also keeping faith with those whom they are serving in . most important and responsible position. They are able. capable and trustwor- thy men. and what they say should have great influence.
 One case of yellow fever has devel- oped in 6 stranger who came from Louisiana. He was sick in a room in this city one night only, and as soon as 1t was discovered that he was sick, he was taken to the city emergency hos pitai. The city room was 1t once thor oughIy disinfected and fumisated. al- InOukH ht tHut tiihC ~ "oo AAos s>ANo" -- whether he had yellow fever or not. The time he was in the city was very brief, and his present location is an isolated one, no other patient being in the building. It is located two or three miles from the city. and there has been no commu- nication with it, except by the nurse who is watching the case and by the physicians. All the precautions known to science have been taken from the very start. and lons before the Board of Health finally decided that he was suffering from yellow fever.
 Under these circumstances no one here need be in the least alarmed. Our State. authorities were confronted with just such. condition at Tampa, Fla. where a refugee from New Orleans was stricken with fever. It was wisely de- cided that there was no occasion for action by our State authorities. and that one case there under the circumstances surrounding 1t did not justify any alarm on the part of the people there or else where.
 We bex our citizens to be calm and discreet. The health authorities will be honest with them and give them any notice or warning that may be nec- essary This Is one case of stranger who has not been among our people. whose present loca- tion is one of complete isoia- ton and where every safeguard has been brought into use. The day of panics and losing heads is gone and zone forever. Our own citizens should show faith in their city and in its sanitary guardians. At the present time there is no occasion for alarm, and we earnestly urge all our people to go about their regular business. in their usual way and give no heed to the agitator and the panic breeder.
 Montgomery was never in a better sanitary condition. There is nothing here to help the spread of any dis ease ,and we have faith to believe that we will go through the present ordeal unscathed. ..~- .:=

We believe Mrs. Belva A. Lockwood is the only woman who ever ran for the office of President of the United States. That Is, she was nominated in 1884 and 1888 by the Equal Rights Party, but we can't say that she ran much--not in the electoral college, at all events. As Belva Is now about 75 years old we presume she has cast away any ambition of that kind and devotes herself principally to her law practice. which Is said to be very large. She still takes a lively interest in poli- tics, though. and one of her idiosyncra- cries Is the belief that Roosevelt is now the greatest living statesman.

is any alternative, and they will not depend entirely on negroes If they can obtain other and better hands. Wheth- CT the better labor is to come from Northern Europe or some other portion of the old world is yet to be settled. and 1t will be settled very soon.
 As The Tribune well says. the South is no longer satisfied with the abuse of its felds," and 1t might have added that the South will not much longer put up with this abuse. The demand for cotton is enormous and Is continu- ally increasing. Government statistics show that the United States supplies over 80 per cent of the total worlds production. and almost the whole of that comes from the strictly Southern States. With these facts before them the Southern farmers know that cotton will continue to be a profitable crop and they will raise it by some means. if not by colored labor. then by white.
 The Tribune is correct in the inti- nation that the white people here will employ reliable colored labor and will encourage and assist the negroes to be- come contented and self-supporting. It is, we think. perfectly safe to say that at least 90 per cent of the cotton growers would prefer reliable negro la bor to any other that can be pro- cured, and as long as there was any hope that they could depend on tho negroes they did SO, but that hope has practically departed. and they must look elsewhere. What is to become of the negroes when their places are taken by outsiders no one can tell.

In one way it Is discouraging to an Alabama farmer to read Kansas news paper accounts of the wheat crop in that State Yields of forty bushels and over to the acre, are not unusual and thirty is looked on as a small yield. The average Alabama farmer would consider it a good crop if he could get ten bushels per acre. and many of them do not get one-half so much. Wheth- CT our soil and climate are such that there Is no possibility of competing with the Northwest, or whatever may be the cause. the fact remains that the South is not a wheat growing re- zion. as compared with some other sec ton. But while it does not seem pos sible that Alabama can ever become a competitor of Kansas as a grower of wheLt for market 1t Is none the less certain that raising enough for home use will pay.
