DAILY ENQUIRER • SUN : COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, SATURDAY MORNING OCTOBER 30, 1*86, Tie Yield Per Acre Under Free and Slave Labor Compared. W!i*f an 1 rro flay he Mnrlo to Produce* I n*li*r Hnllgltteneil, Modern Treatment- PnaaHilllt'ra UN Keirards JUnufsrtarlng and Shipping. 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. Free Trade. 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 Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey and Duffy's Formula. Dj'wintxirj’t Dlarrlio'a, Cramp*.
