Facing Cotton Famine.

people for two years, the w,rld is
facing a cotton famine. We are now
confronted with the prospect of an
other short crop, the sixth in success

have to shut down their mills. And
VIII the enormous profits the manu-
factCrers are now making, they will
never shut down their mills as long
as they can get cotton to go through
their machinery.
I'VE know it to be fact that
dry goods can be reduced 25 per cent,
and more and the mills can pay 40
cents for the lowest grades of spin
nable cotton and then have a net profit
of 500 on each bale. AS l have said

when are you going to tell us to
sell cotton?" is the question put to
Commissioner M. Harris by one of the
extensive cotton planters of the mid
die section of the state. "Not until
you are able to get for it what it is
worth" was Mr.. Harris reply. The
farmer then stated that he had sold
few bales at 43 cents because the
bank was pushing him to take up
loans. Mr.. Harris suspects that this
is being done by number of banks
over the country. This farmer did not
sell any more of his cotton than he
was forced to do, because he agrees
with Commissioner Harris philosophy
that cotton has not attained anything
like its real value.
"The South has had world monop-
oily in cotton since the staple was first
planted, and what has this monopoly
profited them ?" asks Mr.. Harris. "The

THE r1sk JUs1IsE amozaa

At the close of the Civil War, an en-
srTetic effort was made toward the
rounding of schools for the better
ment Of the condition Of the fOu-
million freed slaves, and the establish
nent Of Fisk University at Nashville,
fem, in 1885, was the result.
Realizing the Negroes innate love for
sone, the management decided TO make
music a special feature and 50 engaged
Mr.. George l. White to give instTue-
tons in singing. His efforts were
successful from the start, and in the
spring Of 1867, he had the students 70
give their arst concert and in 1858 an
other program was given which in
eluded the eantata /" Esther. -
Mr. White then took . part Of his
choir 10 Memphis and Chattanooga
meeting with considerable success in
both cities Notwithstanding che great
amount Of prejudice which existed
When the National Teaehers' ASsO-
citation met in Nashville, arrangements
were made for the choir TO sing, and
this arrangement proved 50 successful
that a demand was made for As
singers at every session during the con-
yention. From this effort was born the
idea that perhaps the choir might be
made the means Of earning the funds
needed to further the work Of the Uni
versity, and on Oct. 8, 1871, Mr.. White
started out with his choir Of thirteen
members.
Notwithstanding the many diseour-
agements both to director and singers,
the first three months work brought a
considerable sum Of money to the Univ
versity treasury.
An invitation extended to the singers
to take part in the World s Peace Ju-
bilee, gave renewed encouragement and
thither they wendell their way. A spir-
it of antagonism which went beyond all
bounds of eivility and deeorm, pre-
vailed for the moment, but was soon
swept away by the patient forfearanee
and unperturbed demeaner Of the
singers.
'The Battle Hymn of the Republic I"
was to be sung to the tune Of "John
Brown" by some eolOred singers Of
Boston, but unfortunately the key was
pitched too high and the singers had
some difficulty n singing the first few
lines. Il is said that the Fisk singers,
owing TO the good training hey had
received, found no difficulty with the
high notes and when their cue came for
joining in on the words "He hath
sounded forth the trumpet that shall
never call retreat" they took up the
song as il by q wave Of inspiration.
At the chorus "GlOry, glory hallelu-
jah," the whole audience Of twenty
thousand people rose en- masse and
waving their handkerehiefs, the men
throwing their hats in the air, eheered
and shouted, "The Jubilees, The Jubi-
lees Forever"
From that time until now they have
been known as the Jubilee Singers, not
because they sing plantation melodies
as many suppose in these days, but be-
cause that nGne was applied to them
at the Worlds Peace Jubilee where
they raised such a sensation with their
beautiful singing.
Their fame travelled abroad and Lon
don became anxious to hear them, and
