There 1* no iloubt that It It the pur
pose of the demogogue, among the col
ored alliarcemen to make trouble be
tween the cotton growers aad the col
ored cottoD picker, if they can. It
gratifying, however, to see that there
are colored alliance leaders who have
aympatby with Mm demagogues and who
are condemning their schemes in the
most emphatic manner. The leader
the demagogues appears to be Hum
phreys. the superintendent of the coi
ored alliance in Texas. From all accounts
of him he is a mischief maker, who
much mure deeply concerned iu ailvattc-
lug his own interests than in promoting
the welfare of the organization of which
he Is a prominent member.
His scheme to force the cotton grow
ers to pay exorbitant prices for having
their cotton picked Is intended, doubt-
ess, to bring about trouble between the
growers and pick) rs, because he knows
the growers cannot afford to pay any
such price for picking cotton as that
which he urges the pickers to demand.
At the present prices of cotton there is
no pro&t in it and if the gove s 0 uld
not get their cotton picket! at less than
♦l per hundred pounds and the board of
the pickers they would iijtve to leave the
most of it in the fields. They would,
therefore, suffer disastrous losses, and
the pickers wonld be idle.
But ft looks as if Humphreys’ scheme
would not succeed. Leading colored
atltancemen tu this state and South
Carolina, lu whom colored alliancemeu
have a great deal of confidence, are ad
vising agalust the scheme. They are
wise enough to see that It would be of
no benelit to the cotton pickers and that
it would bo productive of a great deal of
trouble of a kind that would be lastlug
in its results.
Andrew J. Carouthers, who is at the
head of the colored alliance in the south
points out to the colored people that
they have nothing to gain and every,
thing to lose by stirring up strife be
tween tbe cotton growers and cotton
pickers, and he tells them that at the
present prices of cotton no cotton grower
can afford to pay for picking more than
the prevailing prices.
It la to bo regretted that there not
some method for exposing demagogues
eo promptly that it would be virtually
impossible for them to do any harm
1* strange that, however, reckless the
demagogues may be they are certain to
have follower, for a short time at least,
SOUTHKllN ENTEUPKISKH.
The recent advance In cotton, and the
assurance of thu largest grain crop, for
many years, have still further strength
ened thn position of the south in all
business and financial matters, and
everything indicates a very active win
ter and sprlug. The tendency of capital
seeking investment must inevitably be
southward, for no other country posses
ses such wonderful resources, and no
where else are the possibilities of profit
abio development so jiromisiug. The
Increasing Importance of the south's
foreign trade and the position of south -
cm ports as the future outlet for the
grain of the west is Illustrated by the
fact that Galveston will haves 1,000,000-
buabel elevator and N’ew Orleans one
of 300,000 bushola capacity, while the
grain trade at Norfolk baa developed so
rapidly that the elevator there baa been
unable to handle the business, snd a
floating elevator has been secured from
New York, and even one of the big coal
piers Is being used in helping to transfer
the immense traffic from the cars to the
steamships, while some days ago the
Norfolk A Western had nearly tlOO grain
loaded can on tho track at Norfolk. This
rapid growth of the export business
of tbe south, added to tbe industrial
development that has been going on
for the last few yean, will great
ly enhance the prosperity of
this whole section. New industrial en-
terpriscs are daily being organized, and
as this la not a speculative period, they
must all be of a aolid character. Among
the number reported In this week's
issue of the Ifanufscturers' itecord are
tbe purchase of 100 acres of land near
Bsalo City, Ya., as a location for powder
aad cartridge works, to employ. It is
said, 600 bands; the organization of a
8100,000 phosphate company in Charles
ton; a 81,000,000 improvement and
development company in Fort
Smith, Arkansas; a 82$,000 quarry
ing company and a $60,000 lumber com
pany In Virginia; a 860,000 brick com
pany and 860,000 coal company in Ken
tucky; a 8100,000 grate manufacturing
company and a 810,000 lumber company
in Knoxville; a 878,000 cotton seed oil
mill In Dallas,.Tex.; a $76,000 company
for shipping fish frozen In Ice from
Florida to the north; a 830,000 lumber
company in West Virginia; a#50,800
manufacturing company and a huge
cold storage warehouse in Baltimore.
Many enterprises at smeller magnitude
have been reported, and many, large aid
small, arc bring organised.
COTTON AND SIONEV.
It Is surprising how' a little foolish
talk, on the part of a few know-nothing
Idlers, will be taken up and circulated as
If It were the truth. There are in every
community a few Individuals who are
never happy except when they are
prophesying some calamity or evil as
about to happen. These Individuals
reem to delight In mysterious hints in
regard to some trouble o- grief that Is
just about to be precipitated upon ua.
And in the event of anything gloomy
happening within a thousand milea of
their evil prophesying, they cxultlngly
cry out, “I told you so !"
One of this brood of birds of evil omen
has lately been quacking about tbe pos
sibility of a lack of money here In Amer
lcus to pay for cotton as It came in to
this market
This foolish prate Is too absurd to call
for serious contradiction. But fearing
that this Idlotio prognostication might
receive some little attention from some
body not well Informed on the financial
situation here in Amerlcus, The Times-
ItEconoEn desires to state explicitly and
emphatically that there never was a
time when our bankers and financiers
were In a better financial condition to
pay for cotton than now.
And this can easily lie understood by
any intelligent persou, when it is re
membered that, during tbe recent strin-
gem-v of the money market, our bankers : Jjq
made special provision for this emer-
geucy by securing and holding ample j fix if f YnllOTlQ
mean a to pay for all the cotton that liUC Ul aACMIUuo*
could possibly he brought to Amerlcus 1 ■»,. , . .
this season. .Novelties, Etc., Ill
This fact must be apparent to all—
there is no lack of money at this point (jfty.
to pay for all the cotton that will be ; *
brought to this market. But there is
not a dollar to invest in any wild cat
scheme of financiering here in Ameri-
cus; and that 1s the explanation of cer
tain croakers crying out “no money!”
Millious for cotton—not a dime for
visionary speculations. That Is tbe true
inwardness of the idle rumor, and why
few men cry out about the scarcity of
money.

1 glv* you back yonr handkerchief—
A uuliity hit of Haclent luce
Within whose webbed fibrous folds
A snbtl* perfume find* a place;
A perfume that brings back to n.e,
lu surging sweeps of tender grace,
A summer ulght In other uays
When I last looked on your dear face.
Can you forget that starlit night -
Ur how we wandered from the crowd
To sit l»enea£b tbe moaning pines.
In love and silence, wulle aloud
Our beans alone dared utter sound—
And only they we e beats allowed
To s,»esk in—as we sat euwrapt
In love—“far from the madding crowd!’
I give you back yonr handkerchief—
And thus I lose the tender face
That hiu within tha fibrous folds
Of this dear, dainty bit of lace—
And lose that night In lender June
When viol and harp and deep bassoon,
In many a dreamy, swaying tune,
Wh rledus away In drowsy* swoon!
Ali, that de«r night in tender June,
When mode»t stars repluced the moon
And smw this dainty lilt of lace
Dry tear* mam an upturued face!—
Quivering lips and dew wet eyes,
And !ove and alien •• and starlit skies.
And kisses raided on an upturned face—
Well—here’s the dainty lilt of lace!
