FIELDS WHITE syITHC CTTON.
Opening Faster Than in Years and
Pickers Very Scarce,

Bowman, September 24-Special:
There has been rush in the cotton
fields during the past two weeks and
the fleecy staple is being gathered
as fast as possible. All of the avail
able hands for this tedious work are
apparently doing their best" and
yet very little impression. is. being
made on the many fields in this ter
r,sory, so full of open bolls as far as
the eye can see in almost every direc-
ton.
There is no questioning the fact of
there being more open cotton every
where now than was ever known in
this county before. The bugabear
cry of crop deterioration month ago
is past and gone and farmers are now
realizing the fact that they will have
their hands full before the present
crop Is harvested.
There seems to be determination
on the part Of many to rush their
cotton to market, and much OF 1t Is
now. being sold, regardless Of the
drop in price. The gins are running
full time and are also running part
ly at night, many OF the customers
waiting for hours for their turn at
The gin. as....,.,---....
With favorable weather for pick
ing those public gins will have about
all they can do for some time to come
as hundreds of bales are in the lelds
waiting for the pickers. At SO cents
per 100 pounds good wages can be
made at this work, many half-grown'
children picking hundred or more
per day.
Why the many lounging negroes in
the cities do not flock to the country
and make money at this kind of work
is indeed mystery, except it be pure
laziness. The cry goes up every
where for more cotton pickers.

NEW CHURCH SITE CHOSEN.
St. Matthews Nethodists to Erect q
Handsome Edifice.

The St. Matthews correspondent of
The News and Courier says st. Pauls
Methodist Church held one Of the
largest congregations seen there for
many years Sunday morning. The
main reason for this was the settle
ment of question most vital to the
future welfare of the church and
over which there has been keen and
intense interest.
1t will be recalled that Mr.. j. K
Wannamaker, who died somewhat
more than a year ago, bequeathed
$4,000 for the erection OF Meth
odist Church at st. Matthews. He
assumed no responsibility for its
more specific location. 1t has been
long recognized by large element OF
the membership that the present site
is inconvenient and, unfortunate. But
around the little church Of twenty
nine years were clustered the tender
memories OF the sainted dead whose
bones repose in the adjacent grave
yard.
Before the final vote was taken a
resolution offered by Mr.. ]. S. Wan
namaker, was endorsed, which pro-
yided for a charter, with the owners
of lots as perpetual trustees, and that
the church lot should be ceded to the
said trustees and a suitable fence en-
closing the same.
The committee appointed to get op-
tions on available sites in more
convenient place reported a number
of options. Among these were two
of the most beautiful and valuable
lots in the very heart of the residence
section. One of these is on East Balm
street and the other on Dantzler
street, including the baseball park.
These two lots were generously Of
fered by the owners free of cost.
With these facts in the possession
of the audience the ballot resulted
nearly two to one in favor of removal
and then made unanimous on motion
of Mr.. A. K. Smoak. A final discus
sion on a location was postponed to
a later day. There was little display
of bitterness in the proceedings and
there will be no friction over the
matter in the future.

Hauling Cotton Pickers.

Cotton is opening very rapidly, and
if pickers can be had it will soon be
all gathered. as there is no top crop
to speak OF. Pickers seem to be
scarcer this year than ever. Farm
ers for miles around send wagons in
to the city for the negroes and house
them during the week, when they
can be induced to remain over night.
Otherwise they are returned every
night and transported to the fields in
the mornings. This interferes with
the servant question very much too.

Trouble Over Text Books.
The st. Matthews correspondent of
The News and Courier says: THE
radical changes in the text books of
the schools, which were recently
adopted by the State board, are now
coming home to the people in very
emphatic and tangible way. There
is vigorous and widespread complaint
and criticism over the matter here,
particularly among the poorer class
es.. If this community is an index to
other portions of the State it might
be we'll for the superior officers to
decide carefully and then exercise
due conservatism about such frequent
and marked changes.

J. c. O'Brien'S Famous Georgia
Minstrels.

To the lovers of amusement,
who sit in front night after night,
the organization of a show seems
of little moment. What the pub
lie wants, is amusement and that
in big chunks for their money.
In the reorganization of this
minstrel company Mr.. O'Brien
has spared neither time, money
or brains to make his show the
BARNUM of all Colored Min
strel shows. A company that
will please the most fastidious,
from a moral standpoint, and
satisfy the most exacting of
amusement lovers, both as to
quality and quantity. The cos
tuning ofthis vast minstrel show,
both on the street and stage is
from the best wardrobe makers
in the world and in itself, is
worth a small fortune. At noon
each day they give a grand band
concert, and free exhibition on
the principal streets. If you
want to see good miustrelsy,
hear good music, good singing,
and see good dancing, don't miss
this show. Will exhibit at Bax-
ter on Saturday, April %, under
the largest canvas theatre ever
constructed. Actually seated
with opera chairs. Don't forget
the date.
