When tbe Southern fieople first

Those who have high land farms

them aa human beings; regulate
them to work; make them make

trqal the North as she treated us,
hut let ua fight this rumor of war
under the band of God by saying,
"North you arc getting too many
men and too much money, it will
-not be long before you will think
tbit you can conquer the world

We call the North's men and mom

let tia drop thio first part of our false
pride, cotton, and let us make it
-our real pride by produoieg It with
the colored man treated as a human

do so well without tho cotton. Then
let ue establish fine stock (arms all

In a recent circular Issued hr the
managers of tho world’s indnstrial nnd

at New Orleans, hoginning in Decem
ber, 1NJ4, and eoatinning until June,
lfififi. R 1* »tstod that the 7,000,oun
lutes of cotton produced in the sooth
lost year not only clothed s great por
tion of the people of the civilised world,
lint yielded ",.'*00,000 tons of cotton
seed above what is required for thin
year's planting. All this toed was capa
ble of producing, under proper nut,
nipulation, 105,000,000 galtousof cotton
seed oil. 1,500,000 tons of oil cake or
meal, and 1,700,000 tonaof hulls, whieh
abonld yield 800,000 tons of paiicr if
not'd to make pajier pulp. The last
statement is of interest to paper mann-
fseturers. for if cotton-seed hulls can
be used for niekiug pajier pulp, the vast
quantities of them in tho south will
some day Ire so ntilixed. Being a waste
substonoc, this pulp-nmking material
would cost nothing, or butullttlunt the
most. It uiny bo that tho south will
