The Cotton Plant.

l " iIoo o ioJ ol PIohu lU ilC world waits in attendance on it's growth. The showers that fall whispering on it's leaves are heard around the earth. The sun that shines upon it is tempered by the prayers of all the people. The frost that chill and the dews desceno from the stars are noted and the trespass of little worm upon it's it's green leaf means more to England and to English homes than the advance of the armies on her frontier. It is gold from the time it puts forth it's tlnieSt hoot. It's foliage decks the somber earth in emer- aid sheen. It's blossom reflects the brilliant hues of sunset skies in Southern climes and puts to shame the loveliest rose when loosening it's snowy fleeces to the the sun, it floats a banner that glorifies the field of the humble farmer, that man is marshalled under flag that will compel the allegiance of the world and wrings tribute from every na- tiOn on the earth. It's fibre is current in every bank on the earth. It's oil adds luxury to lordly banquets in noble halls, and brings comfort to lowly homes in every cline. It's flour gives to man a food richer in health producing value than any the earth has ever known, and d curative agent long sought. It's meal is feed for every beast that bows to do mans labor from Norway's frozen peaks to Afri- ca's parched plains. It is herit- age thas God gave to this people when He arched the skies, estab- lished our mountains, girded us about with oceans, loosed the breeze tempered sunshine and measured the rain. Ours and our childrens' forever and for ever, and no princelier talent ever came from Omnipotent hand to mortal stewardship = Henry w Grady.
 The above eloquent words tell but part of the truth. To the South and to other lands, it means all of this and more; it also means to the people of the South slav- cry as hard and as terrible as the world has ever known. The net result to the producer is poverty and suffer- 2; it's con- tinued production means soil inn poverished, lowly homes, poorly furnished, scant living, children at hard labor whe they should be in school, women compelled to labor harder than those in many mines. for pittance, and such suffering as comes from no other character of agriculture. When crops are full there is suffering and want because of low prices; and when they are short there is still suffering. If some devil had dev sed form of slavery more diff cult to overcome he had de served the generations of the world And yet the solution of | the terrible curse would be easy were it not for the folly of the people who persist in producing cotton and eyer more cotton, to be sold at lower and ever more lower prices. The remedy is in the hands of those enslaved, and yet they refuse to see the remedy will not accept the cure. Less cotton better lives, more profit and freedom from the slavery of the cotton field.
