ITALIANS IN TEE
COTTON FIELDS.
There was something significant
ia the address of Mr. Alfred Holt
Stone, of Mississippi, at the session
of the American Ecinomic Associ
ation at Baltimore on Friday. The
subject under discussion whs "The
Economic Future of the Negro,"
and Mr. ilolt was among several who
advanced thoughts on that problem,
for it is fait approaching the propor
tion f a problem.
We have ofteu heard complaints
about the deterioration of the negro
as a laborer but we were cither not
willing or not prepared to beleive
that it was as wide-spread us manv
imagined. However, the efforts ef
4hx Manufacturers' Record a few
months ago to get at the bottom of
the labor conditions in the South
opened our eyes. The Record raked
em the entire South to ascertain
the true situation and published
liuudreds of leTttrs from all sections
of the different states. These letters
were from the most prominent citi
zens and employers of labor, and if
our memory serves us right, there
was not a dissenting opinion among
them. The revelation was chat la
bor Was scarce and that negro labor
was unsatisfactory. 'These letters
disabused our mind that the com
plaint was1 loeary and4 we must say
that they disclosed a condition that
caused us regret. It was hard to
believe that tne old cotton held hands
wotiCd ever have equals much less
superiors, "but the times and new
conditions 'seem to have brought
about a-change.
Th9' .question about the insufficiency-'aud
inetticiency of negro la
bor bavicg been settled, it remained
for Mr. Stone in, his Baltimore ad
dress te make: a revelation about
Italian- labor in the cotton fields.
lie came from Mississippi where
Italian labor has been tried and his
declaration was unreserved that "the
ability of the white foreigner success
fully to grow cotton in competition
with the negro is no longer a matiur
or question of experiment." It must
be remembered that Mr. Stone was
speaking frem observation, experi
ence and investigation," for he vvws
relating what lie had seen of Italian
labor in the southwest where ihous
ands are now employed, lie quoted
at considerable length from statistics
gathered by himself, showing the
comparative results obtained by ne
groes and Italians growing cotton
side by side. The figures covered a
series of ymirsand the conclusion was
that "when the two classes worked
under identical conditions, on the
same plantation, the Italian aeeem
plished very much more than ihe
negro, both in the amount of cotton
produced and in the matter of saving
what he earned."
It is up to the colored people of
the South toproritby the disclosures
made by Mr. Stone. If the negro
has any race pride he should noi al
low himself to be outclassed and cer
tainly the South sets uo satisfaction
in seeing him outclassed, lie is here
in large numbers and here to stay,
and Southern people would like to
see his conditions improved rather
than have them deteriorate. It opens
a new field for the leaders of the ne-
n vn I'ut-n tit iiruunh lmliistt'V ami
economy and save the race. Booker
T. Washington has been doing that
but his lead in that respect ought
to be followed all over the South.
It is a problem which tne negro must
work out himself and it is time for
him to go Mr work at it. The note
of alarm! hai been sou n dee and he
should' profit by it. Wilmington

A New Combustible.
A company has been formed at Bern,
Switzerland, for manufacturing a new
kind of combustible from peat. The
peat is dried under the influence of the
eieetiic current and then further treat
ed so that under the action of electric
osracse a new compound, known as os
mon, is formed. . The most recent tests
ci the new combustible bring out the

Cientiemen: In SeDternber. 1RD9. I took rheu
matism in a very bad form (inflammatory). In a
month after the disease started I had to give up
my work and go to bed. It continued to grow
worse untd my arms and hands were badly
drawn, so much so that I could not use them.
My leys were drawn back till my feet touched
my hips. I was as helpless as a baby for nearly
12 months. The muscles of my arms and legs
were hard and shriveled up. I suffered death
many times over. Was treated by six different
physicians iu McColl, Dillon and Marion, but
none of them could do me any good, until Dr. J.
P. Ewing, of Dillon, enme to see me. He told
me to try your KHIiUMACIDE. He sot me one
