FOR THEM BACK
TO THE STICKS

Many Of our nearby planters are
complaining OF their negro families
moving into the city. + this IS true
we cannot see what they are coming
for. as the oil mills are closing down
and other places OF employment for
this labor, on account Of the late
ness of the season, are closing down
also. and the chances for work are
growing less daily
1t is our opinion that at this tim"
of the year the negro and his fam
lily should be going to the country
instead of coming into the city. Our
officers should make an inspection OF
the city, and where they find family
idle. or even their men out of en-
ployment. they should be notified te
get work or go back on the planta
tons.
The moving of this population nov
whfe they can get work in the co'sa
try. will save arresting them as va
grants later on.

pointed to as a battle along this
same line already fought and won.
The planter and his friends heard the
preaching, the newspapers have
caught the words, and now if the cot
ton planter will only take up the cry
and do his duty to himself, he will
soon come into his own.
To these | wish TO say It
was unfortunate that they
were no more largely in attendance
on the convention. The spinners
seemed to be there in good force. We
have good officers. Every one OF
them commended and approved the
plans outlined above But officers can
only execute orders. 1t is your duty
and your privilege now, if you ap-
prove the plans suggested, to write
Our president and press the demand
that the Southern Cotton Associa-
ton shall take up this work Of ac-
lively establishing a suf6ciency OF
mills in the South to take care Of
any surplus Of cotton that may be
grown and even a large amount moro
Ask that your demands shall be pre-
scented to the evecuive committee
Let us transfer the spinning trade
from Manchester and Fall River Il
some point or points in the South
Let every one who believes this good
policy for the planter and for the
merchants and bankers and others
who live upon him, write to Mr.. Jor
dan and tell him so. IF the Southern
Cotton Association takes up this
work and presses it to a consumma-
ton, it will earn the gratitude of the
cotton growing world But we need
not rely upon them alone.
"The gods help those who help
themselves" We are able to DO this
work unaided and alone. Let us get
together now in each county in the
South and in each county gather the
funds o build at least one mill. When
the funds are gathered and you are
ready to build, then pick your loca-
ions for the mills, each state in one
place; buy sufficient acreage, 10,
cate your mills and sell the rest Of
yalr lands for city property. The
real estate transaction in the location
will largely help out the money end
lie us say now to the spinning world
"You have robbed US enough. We
are now going to spin our cotton
ourselves and put you out OF bust
ness. or rather compel you to be sat
isfed with legitimate profits AMI pay
a fair price for cotton" Let us sign
and promulgate for the Southern cot
ton planter and the Southern bus:

their declaration of war.

The passage of the Wells Street
Car Bill would virtually kill the
street car business in this city, for
the expense of putting on extra cars
and maintaining them would not jus
tify the returns in dollars and cents

the present time, we have not seen
the need of such law We have had
no trouble with the other race as to
their keeping on their side of the
