THE GROWERS AND SPINNERS MEET
Conference of Colton Growers and
Spinners Held at Wash
ington Last Week
Washington, May 5. For the
first time in the history of cotton
growing in the United States there
j has been a real effect of the grow
j ers and spinners to get together
and control the crop that they
j both depend on for a livlihood and
I to eliminate the middle man and
! the cotton gambler who have both
| fattened for generations out of
j handling the crop. There was a
I convention last week in Washing
! ton of the growers an the. mill men.
There have been representatives
from the great mills of England
I and from all the associations in the
| United States interested in the
j handling of cotton. These inelud
j ed the Associations of Manufac
turers and the Southern Cotton
: Association, the National Cotton
; Manufacturers’ Asssociation, the
Farmers Educational and Co-oper
ative Union and several other or
ders. It was a striking gather
ing to see and a more interesting
one to listen to. There were the
correctly dressed and conventional
mill men of England who are now
on a tour of the United States,
the equally correct though more
alert and aggressive manufactur
ers from New England, the young
er men of the South, both those
|
! interested in mills and in growing
cotton, and there were the men of
1 the lields who came, many of them
without neckties, the first of the
style that the fashionable hotel,
where they met had ever seen,
land there was even one old gentle
man who came in a suit of Con
federate gray with brass buttons
and a regimental badge on bis
coat. He made a talk in the
course of the meeting, and it was
a mighty good talk too. He told
: how he came representing the
farmers of Texas, who were tired
i of working for a bare existence
and hypothecating their crop be
fore it had put its head above the
ground. He said that, the farmers
he represented were waking up,
that they had found the virtue of
I warehousing and holding their
crop for decent market conditions
before selling it, and that they
would hold the crop with the help
of Heaven and Southern money
till they could get a decent price
for it and not live from hand to
mouth on the bounty of the mid
dle man and the. country store
| keeper. There were congressmen
too, Livingston of Georgia, and
Elberleof South Carolina, both of
1 them practical cotton farmers,
and they gave the convention some
straight talk as to the exactions of
the meat trusts which had forced
the South to raise its own food
supplies and had thus taught them
that perhaps there was after all a
living in other things beside cot
ton on the Southern farm.
It was rather pathetic to see
that all the advances were made
! by the growers to the manufac
turers. The growers explained
that they had found through much
(tribulation that there was money
to be made, though they had nev
er made any before, in warehous
ing their crop and holding it until
there a ligitimate demand
for it from the mills. They said
that the warehouses were being
built rapidly, that the cotton was
being protected from the weather
which had ruined so much of it in
the fields, and that they were clean
ing and grading it in the ware
houses in accordance with the best
1 that they understood of the mill
owners’ demands. This being so,
they asked that the mill men
should deal direct with them in
stead of the middlemen and specu
lators and they promised if this
were done to estimate the actual
cost of raiding the crop and to di
vide the profits fairly.

NEGROES DRIVEN FROM CARLISLE
War on Blacks has Resulted iff
Exodus of Objectionable Ne
groes from that Place
Carlisle, Ark., May 5.—While
some of the negroes remaining in
Carlisle talk strongly of leaving
in consequence of recent anti-ne
gro demonstrations, a general exo
dus of the blacks from Carlisle is
not probable, owing to the fact
that some of them are property
owners. For some time there
has been a strong undercurrent of
feeling against a certain portion
of the negro population of this
place, which finally resulted in
those that were most objectionable
being warned to leave town. They
refused to heed the warning, how
ever, and declared that they would
not be moved either by persua
sion or force.
About two weeks ago dynamite
was exploded under the building
occupied as a store by Make Nich
ols, one of the negroes that had
been notified to leave. Several,
negroes were in the building at
the time of the explosion, but no
one was seriously hurt. Again
they declared that tee.y would re
main where they were. A few
nights later a party of unknown
men opend fire on the store build
ing and a near-by dwelling occu
pied by a negress by the name of
Brown. Both buildings were rid
dled with bullets and buckshot,
the occupants narrowly escaping
with their lives. On the following
day the objectionable negroes
left.
Quietude prevails now and there
has been no further act of hostil
ity toward the blacks. ^
SEVENTEEN-YEAR LOCUST
The country this year is to be vis
ited not only by the seventeen
year locusts, but the thirteen year
variety as well. This announce
ment is made by the bureau of
Entomology of the Department oi
Agriculture. The locusts will be
gin to appear in some of the east
ern and middle states about the
last week in May. Our worst ex
perience in North Arkansas with
these pests, was in 1872, when
they took all the foliage from the
trees, and left the trees as bare in
July as they ordinarily are in mid
winter. The alHiction in 1889
was not nearly so bad in Arkansas
but was reported worse through
out the southeast.
