Greensboro, Ala., October 27.—This
]■ iter is written from the midst of what
v. is, in the old south, and What is again in
i:.o new south, the kingdom of cotton,
i .ing cotton is now re-enthroned under
, ice labor. There is now Immensely more
< itton raised in the south annually than
< or in the days of slavery, and yet, it is
t jid, the plantation is not as remunerativi
: in slave times. Wo do not have to go
l tr to find the reason. In the former days
there wore two annual crops raised on
each plantation—one of cotton hales, and
t >e other of slave bathos- and the black
l abies were generally more valuable than
the bales of white cotton. In that olden
time all the profits went into the planter’s
pocket; but now they are distributed be
. veen the landlord and the laborers; but,as
there is now more cotton produced, and as
ii commands a higher price, the annual
crop must bring more money into the
south than in former days. Thus the
many arc benefited, while the annual in
come of the few who used to get all is
wofully diminished.
The highest yield of any one year under
clave labor, was but a trifle over 4,500,000
hales, while the yield of 1S80 81 was about
ii,500,000, and that of the present year will
not tall much below 7,000,000. This heavy
increase in the cotton crop has been
brought about largely by the wonderful in
crease of the cotton acreage produced by
the use of fertilizers, iiy this means
millions of acres, formerly thought to be
entirely beyond all possible limits of the
cotton belt, have been artificially enriched
and made the best of the cotton lands in
the south. Half the cotton crop in Geor
gia is now produced on landB where twen
ty years ago no cotton was grown. In
North Carolina the cotton lands have thus
been extended twenty miles northward
and twenty miles westward. And the use
of fertilizers has added immensely to the
cotton acreage in Tennessee. To this
must be added that the yield in the old
cotton fields in the Atlantic States has
been amazingly augmented by this artifi
cial stimulation. The increase in acreage,
large as it is, will be but a small factor in
the increase of the cotton crop when the
use of fertilizers shall have become sys
tematic and general.
I have been told that, under a scientific
experiment made in Georgia of the pro
ductive powers of certain fertilizers, one
acre has been made to produce five bales,
and a yield of three hales to the acre has
been credited to several localities. At
present, taking the whole cotton region
into count, the aveage yield is hardly bet
ter than one bale to three acres, but a judi
cious and a comparatively inexpensive
use of fertilizers can readily increase this
yield to an average of a bale to the acre,
lienee it is manifest that the capacity of
the south to produco cotton is practically
limitless. When it is considered that the
constantly increasing demand for cotton
goods is absolutely without limit because so
many new climes and new peoples are
every year coming into the market, one
may safely conclude that the not distant
future will see crops, in comparison with
which the great crop of the past year, esti
mated to he worth more than $.>00,000,000,
will be very small.
PROGRESS IN MANUKAOTtTItKS.
The south is also making greal progress
in the manufacture of the cotton, which it
raises in such constantly increasing crops.
Its natural advantages for manufacturing
are so great that the southern mills may,
before a great while, become dangerous
competitors with those of the north. It
was thought »t one time that the difficulty
of obtaining skilled laborers for these
mills would be a serious drawback to their
success, but this difficulty is being rapidly
overcome. 1 am told that the mills in the
Carolines and Georgia have more applica
tions from northern operatives than they
have places lo give, though the number
of spiudleH is rapidly increasing every
year. And then the native laborers are
last becoming trained and skillful. Good
prices ire paid in all the mills to a few
trained workmen front the north who are
foremen, bat me hands, in all eases, are
drawn from this vicinity. And, also, many
of the large mill-owners are sending their
sons north to be educated and trained in
the mills there. These young men, who
are intelligent, and quick, study the work
ings m the northern mills and keep up
with all the improvements made there,
which are quickly reported and readily
adopted in the southern mills. Then the
new process, known as the “Clement
attachment,” by which the cotton is taken
from the hall and spun directly into
threud, a process absolutely unavailable in
the north, gives an immense advantage to
the south for the production of yarns. And
it iB also said that the cotton which has
not been compressed, as it must be before
it can be shipped in the lint, can be spun
into finer, smoother and more flexible and
stronger threud than any produced in the
northern mills. Where will this end?
Whnt will be its ultimate effect upon the
New England mills? Labor and living are
both much cheauer in the south than in
the north. Cotton yarn manufacture is
becoming a large and remunerative indus
try, not only in the Carolinesund Georgia,
but also in Alabama and many other cotton
growing states.
fOSSlBlLlTIEB OP THE NEAR FUTURE.
It has been thought by some that the
policy of the south is to confine itself to the
manufacture of yarns for the northern
looms. But if it comes to pass that the
soutli learns to produce a belter and cheap
er thread than can he produced in the
north, it will not be long bofore it will also
learn to produce at home a superior fabric
from its superior yarns. And as to the
shipment of the surplus cotton of the
soutli, there is no reason why the great
southern staple should ho sent to
Now York to bo shipped from
there to Europe. Tho natural thing
would be to ship from Now Orleans,
Mobile, Savannah and Charleston. This
natural thing will be dime sooner or later.
In the near future the world will see a
“solid sout h” on the three great points in
the cotton question—in raising, manufac
turing and exporting its own great staple.
Let tne soutli beoome solid on the cotton
question and be re-established in healthy
and permanent prosperity, then it will
again be the best possible customer of tho
north. It can have no better well-wishers
for its early and solid prosperity than tho
northern merchants. J. M. P.

The reduction of internal revenue and
the taking oil'of revenue stamps from Pro
prietary Medicines, no doubt lias largely
benefited the consumers,ns well as relieving
the; burden of home manufacturers. Es
pecially is this the case with Green’s Au
gust Flower and Bosehee’s German Syrup,
as the reduction of thirty-six cents per
dozen, has been added to increase the size
of the bottles containing these remedies,
thereby giving one-fifth more medicine in
the 75 cents size. The August Flower for
Dyspepsia and Liver Comulaint, and the
German Syrup for Cough and Lung trou
bles, have perhaps, the largest sale of auy
medicines in the world. Theadvantage of
increased size of the bottles will be greatly
appreciated by the sick and afflicted, in
every town and village in civilized coun
tries. Sample bottles for 10 cents remain
the same size. octl2 d&wly
