WILLIAM H BERNARD. WILMINGTON. N. C. Tuesday- Mobsusts, Mat 26. LASOS nr THE SOUTH. A good ' man j people are Under the Impression that negro labor is absolutely essential to the South, and that we could not get along without it, especially in the rice and cotton growing sections. ' This is a mistake. ' Possibly it might be true . in some limited localities where ma laria prevails, but even there iMs doubtful? ( Some time ago Professor Gold win Smith, of Canada, had a letter in the New York Sunt on the race - , . V t L 3 negro laDor was a necesnij m m South, that white labor could not meet the conditions and therefore the South is necessarily tied to the negro, can't get away from him or get him away from it, and therefore she should cultivate the negro in stead o.f trying to repress him. This communication brought several re plies, one of which, from Mr. Paul Chaudron, of Crowley, La.,, to the Sun is as follows: In the editorial columns of the Mo bile ifejTfefer, of May 8, 1 find a timely criticism of the following passage, . . A It.. taken from an article by Prof. Gold win Smith and published in your columns: "The while la the South is not a tiller of the toll; he cannot raise cot ton, still lea rice." The italics are my own. Now, it is certainly astonishing that so eminent an authority as Prof. Gold win Smith should, in a serious article, .gravely state as 4a fact something so exceed ingly inaccurate. I am writing from the largest rice milling point in this country, Crow ley, La., distributing annually: about a million barrels of the cereaL Its ten large rice mills J are supplied by the great rice fields of Acadia, Ver million, St Lajdry and Calcasieu parishes, and this vast area is cultivat ed by white labor exclusively. The sight of a negro at the plough or In the field is a novelty, so much so that a lot of about a dozen of them re cently imported from Alabama -as an experiment are looked upon rather as curiosities. The very few negroes in this section are either In domestic ser vice in the towns or are content idling away their time in - av ahanty, with a scraggy corn and cabbage patch, a few fowls, and, in season, the ever-present watermelon patch. The rice fields are cultivated by two classes of whites. One is-the native "Cajen,"a corruption of Acadian nr Arcadian, a race who still cling to the customs of their French ancestry, many of them being unable to speak or understand a word of English. The -other is a set of sturdy Western far mers, mostly from Illinois and In dians, who have moved and are still moving here in numbers This is about the cultivation of rice in Louisana, Mr. Norman Walk er, of New Orleans answers as fol lows: . The cultivation and production of cotton in the South is rapidly passing from the negroes to the whites. If he will refer to the United States census, he will find that all thebig cotton- produdng counties are white, and that of the eighteen counties in the South producing over 50,000 bales of cotton each fifteen are white counties in which an OTerwhelming majority of the population and of the farm laborers Is whiter As for rice, nearly two-thirds of that cereal produced in the United States is grown in Louisiana, and it is altogeth er in e production or white labor. The negroes are not responsible for 5 per cent oi ine production ; and in the nee districts of Louisiana they constitute less than 20 percent of the nonulation. Throughout the Southwest white labor has been driving negro labar from the farms, and eren from tbersugar.plan-J mudu ana t securing netter results in. the yield, quality? o product t aid pro-' fits of the enterprise! 77! t f.-s.i: ; When Mr. Smith's attention was called to his assertion and the facts to (he contrary, he said he made it on the strength of published reports emanating from Southern sources, that negro labor was a necessity in the South, and therefore the propo sition for negro depontation should not be encouraged, even if it were practicable. This was what led him to this conclusion, as it has doubt less led thousands of other people, whose knowledge of the labor ques tion in the South depends entirely upon what they hear or read. There are many people in the South who share the same belief, because negro labor is about the only labor they have, and having become accus tomed to depend upon it they don't see any way to substitute any other Negro labor is a necessity in the South not because the labor done by negroes could not be done by white men, but because there are not white men enough to do it. Where there are white men enough it is done by white men and done better than by negroes because done more thor oughly and intelligently, the white men taking more interest in it, be cause they have more pecuniary in teresL There are thousands of farms in North Carolina on which few ne gro laborers are 'employed, many where there are none at all, 'and so, doubtless in other; Southern States, rm oe we case to a greater .extent as, the larger v Jarms are sub? amaea into smaller-ones and the; necessity for hiredi labor becomes This is one of the reasons why the negroes have 'been gradually but steadily . drifting ; from the border States to he more Southern States, There the large cotton fields .and the turpentine forests give them em ployment at higher wages than they could get in the border States. v.-. The Northern and Western people who have settled in this State em- tVW AVIT avfc WW i WBVSIUM JLkBj . VAIP not like the way thet average; negro ; worktv They ' therefore prefer ; to i do the work ' themselves and they do not find it too much of a task for them. Neither do the North ern and Western men who have settled in Louisiana and Texas, many of whom are engaged in rice and cotton culture, employ negro labor, for the same reason that the Northern and Western settlers in this State do not. Some of the best cotton in Texas is and has been produced for years by white labor exclusively, so that it is not a ques tion whether white men can do this labor. That has been too satisfac torily demonstrated to be longer a question. But negro labor is and will con tinue to be a necessity until it can be replaced by; white labor, which of .necessity - must be , slow, but it would be a' good thing for the South, in many respects, if ft were practicable to substitute white for negro labor at onee. Thus we would solve not only the labor but several other annoying questions. THE MILS IH THE C0C0ANUT. -The Washington Star, the admin istration organ, in discussing the "Lily White" movement in Ala bama, says: . Verily, the negro in Alabama is be tween the devil and the deep blue sea. He is disfranchised by the Democrats on the allegation that be is too ignor ant to use the ballot. And vet bad he been permitted to rote and had bis vote been counted, he would have ucDortad the sound money and pro tection both in 1898 and 1900. The men who disfranchised him -voted on both those occasions for free silver and free trade, and gave Alabama's strength in the electoral college to the man whom to-day they are doing their best to forget.; He then encounters the Lilly Whites who agree with him po litically, but object to the color of his skin. They believe in the Repub llcen policies. They go so far, indeed, as to insist that only through .those policies can the country hope to pros per. The negro believes as they do, and largely because some of them, who once trained with him and took his rote, taught him to do so. He wants to help them now. But no; The Democrats , have drawn the line at him, and the -Lily Whites simply follow suit I The Star repeats its former state ment. The Lily ? White movement Is compounded of humbug, and ingrati tude, and no Republican leader of na tation influence and ambition can for a moment afford to give : It continuance. The Star in right as to the "hum bug" and "ingratitude" in the "Lily White" movement (which as a move ment does not pan out "as a general success), for it is intended to hum bug white Democrats and rope them into the Republican party, and it is surely ingratitude to go back on the negroes who have been the mainstay of the Republican party in the South, and to whom some of the white men in that party own nearly all they have. But when the Star asserts that if the negroes of Alabama had. not been disfranchished they would have supported sound money and protection In 1896. and in 1900, (which means that they have voted the Republican ticket), it shows the milk in the cocoanut, the reason why it is opposed to negro disfran chisement The party wants the negro's vote, and is therefore op posed to taking the ballot away from him. THE ALG00D CASE. Investigation has shown that the alleged mob which threatened the negro rural mail carrier, Algood, in Tennessee, was confined tot wo men, and he knows both of them, but they scared him as badly as if there were a hundred, and consequently he retired at once and sent in his resig nation. As in the case of the In dianola postofnee, the Postmaster General refused to accept it until a postal inspector went there, made an investigation and reported that tho "mob" was composed of two men, that, the - people on the route didn't know anything about it until they heard of .it as other people did. Then, as Algood didn't care to hold the job under the circumstances, his resignation was accepted. The prob abilities are that a white carrier may take his place. ' The Postmaster General and other people in the North may be under the impression that the objection to the negro mailt carriers in the rural districts is merely a matter of color prejudice, but ex-Gov. McMIllin gives the reason, and a good one, for it in the following: . "When the father, husband or son is always from home.they are not anx ious to have a negro official go io the home and cross the threshold, either to deliver mail or for any other pur pose, w nen tne latner, husband and son are at home they are ready for all comers, and abundantly able to defend tnenome; but when compelled to be absent they are at least anxlona that the law shall not send anybody across I tne tnresnoia wno oy any possibility could be an Intruder or an invader of the sanctity of the home." ; ; v $. Commenting upon this xthe ; New York Sun (Republican) says: - i If the. widespread apprehension to which ex-Governor McMillin refers Aoes injustice to many colored men holding Federal office, it la iy warrantea oy much Southern ex perience. The explanation Is mm specific than that which rests on mere prejudice or color; and, as such, it i ought to have due weight in the for mation i of Northern .opinion about Southern sentiment. - There are negro mail jjarriers in many of r our southern cities, Ml ?tb their Buck ? -y bright and roy V"S ICHARLES BrHtRES 'J''"BBSiaaBaBaBaBBa3w TRIUMPHANT OVER PAINE'S- CELERY COMPOUND Home Treatment With tion Has Brought Happiness and Health to Hosts of Suffering Womenr Intelligent and thoughtful women are now using the best and most reliable of all spring medicines, Paite's Celery Compound, and - are getting back nervous vigor, pure blood, bodily strength, and a ruddy and clear complexion.
