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.
