IT'S A NEGROES PARADISE
THAT'S WHAT TEXAS is IN COT
TON PICKING TIME.
Get From SO to 80 Cents a Hundred,
and the Season Is One Of Dances
and Camp Meetings.

AUSTIN Textile towns Of the
state are being depopulated of theil
negro inhabitants, for the cotton
picking season is on, and for the
average negro this season is one OF
fun and frolic. Hundreds of fami-
lies go into the country as soon as
the feecy staple begins to burst from
the bolls. Previous understanding
or contracts with the average negro
servant amount to nothing when the
cotton picking fever sets in. The
negroes disregard all agreements
and flock to the cotton fields.
Estimating the crop at 1000, 1000
bales this year not more than one
quarter of it will be picked by ten
ant farmers and their families and
the regular employees of the farms.
The 100000 bales remaining will
be gathered by imported labor, most
ly negroes from the towns. The
price paid to pickers ranges from
s. cents to 80 cents a hundred
pounds. Taking the average price
at rs cents it costs 1915 to pick a
bale. The amount of money, there
fore, that will have been paid out
for harvesting the 100000 bales
will be about $11,250,000.
Dances and Camp Meetings.
Perhaps as much as 100000 of
this will go to Mexican laborers, and
most of it be carried out Of the cot
ton growing region of the state. The
remainder will flow like a golden
stream into the towns as soon as
the picking season is over, and the
happy-go-lucky negroes will wend
their way back to their homes. Then
for a season of a few weeks the mer-
chants and business men generally
will do a large trade due to the
spendthrift ways of the negro.
1t is the social pleasures which
they enjoy upon the plantations
while cotton picking is going on that
appeals to the negroes. Dances are
of almost nightly occurrence in ev-
cry community The work is inva-
riably mixed with play. During the
cotton picking season the country
negro preachers find their best op-
portunity for making converts and
replenishing their church exchequers.
Good pickers make as much as
$3.75 a day.
