WILLIAM H.BIBIBD WILMINGTON- N T COTTOW I WMT ATMCA atnu-i "ft" r to tLe efforu beirf made by the Geratacs to grow cotton in tbe ter r.Vjrj ovutd bj GermaBj on the Wert cftut of Africa- We noted ti departure oi four Eegroes of tila wuEtrj to instruct the tailves in farming geaerallj a&d in tbe cultivation and handling of cotton in particular. Three of these ne gro were padsatei oi Tnikef e (Ala.) Institute and were aelecied by Booker Waiting-051 o:i ft of their rpecial Itneaa fcr the wori. The fourth, also a cc-He zrvlTiate, iu from Tetaaeaaee, and a aekct tdviv.tu superintendent on ac count oi hi tptdil fitnes. Tfcej took with them & ripply of agricultural machinery, and of aefi, to begin their experiment! farming. Tie following letter from one of thrn appeared in the St. Lonii ita Mid wHTgive -omeldea of the work they hid before them, and what they bad accompIihed up to the time the letter was written, MajI5:h.- As to id j work here, I am getting along very well I find it very bard, however, to ret material to work with. This em airy, live a'J" other nasealed eoaatries, it yet without modern ma chinery. Ti saw nuLL the cotton fia aad, ia fact, all modern machinery, ia yet Jo be iatrodaeed. Soipe of this machinery we hope to hare La opera tioa before oar time ia oat here. "Wiita we reached Lome we thought we were a the end of oar jaarney, bat we had yet one bisdnd mile to go La the bushes, as they call it oat here. It may tn&d hard, bat we had to walk this distance, carrying with as aaeh things u we thought would rap- pi t oar nee-ds anfci we coaia get set tlL Tse trip was made in font days. Ey the fourteenth of January we had a3t settled where oar farm shoaid be. V."e beraa work ekariag away with the help of the natires, and La a mart wtLie is arte ior oar new 1x737c was selected. We hare eieared away more than one hundred acres of land, and a part of the same is planted ia coUstb. wra. peanuts aad other things. bVt VJ-MJ -r a-aaas wansw s on it now than many lumen will maxe on their whole crop ia America. There is no doabt aboat the growing of cotton here, for it has been already demonatrated Six months ago men pasted this place without paying say attention to it for it was aothiag bat a field of bashes and elephant grass, bat to Car one is attracted by the number of baiidings, the rrowing of cotton aad other prod acta, also the palling of pkws by horses. and mea raiding them. "While Mr. Barks and Mr. Boain aoa are bory with their farm, I am at wor trying to get the gia hoose ready to gin the cotton when it is gathered. I find the natires like to work, aad will work if they get plenty of 'chop' 'food), as they call it, bat they are cot able to do mach work; they soon gire out." , The Superintendent writea aa fol lows in reference to the natives of that aection of the country: The natires do not differ rery mach from the uneducated negroes of the "black belt" in the South. I te Iiere the Africans hare a better dispo sition. Color is about the same. If I did not know I am in Africa I could easily beliere myself in Alabama. The natires are just as anxious to hare clothes and to be edacated as Ameri can negroes. Many of them want to come to America. They do not seem to be lazy, but they cannot do a great deal of work on the food they now eat, which is principally nee. Judging fromthij these American negroes hare made considerable progress as far aa they haTe gone and they do not seem to entertain any doubt as to the possibility of pro ducing cotton in that part of the world where it had been attempted before but under lesa favorable con ditions by men who knew but little about cotton and but little about the natirea and the way to work and manage them.' What lends additional interest to all thia ia the fact that if success be achieved in these experimental ef forts the German poesesaions may eventually develop into an extenaire cotton producing section and the German manufacturers be able to supply themselves from that region as the JJusaian manufacturers ex pect to do from Southern Siberia. The district in which the farm is located on which these experiments are being conducted ia about the size of South Carolina, but the Ger man possessions entire in that region - cover an area of &25,000 square miles. Our cotton producing area embraces about 670,000 square milei, which gives the Germans nearly 300,000 more square miles of territory adapt- ed to cotton culture than the South has. It is said that the climate and soil of this large area are suitable to the growth of cotton. If all this be bo, if these experi- manual AnA.4tA.. 1 and the native' labor be as tractable and reliable as theae Alabama ne , groes say it is, it is only a question m a i a . oi wme wnen xne output of cotton from that part of the world will he large, and it will continue to grow larger. If this territory were domi nated by the French, Italians or Spaniards it would promise less, but the Germans are an industrious, persevering and thrifty people who make their impress wherever they get a foothold. It will not be long until German colonies are planted - at the most accessible points in this territory, and these colonists en couraged by what has been accomp lished will clear up farms and be come growers of cotton as well as other products to which the country is adapted, and may eyentually sup ply the mother country with many things now imported from this country.

There is scarcely a day no- that the wires do r.ot bring accounts of assaults by negro fends on white women, not cnfrequently followed by mrrder. Three were reported in the dirpatches publiihed yeaterday, two of these followed by the murder of the victims. One brute, the murderer of a young woman in Texas, paid the penalty with his life, at the hands of aTengen, while the murder of a young woman in Missouri by a negro who became enraged at her rerl2tar.ee, which foiled him in ac complishing his beastly purpose, re sulted in the driving of erery negro out of the town, save a few who have good reputations. In our own state there were re cently two assaults hi Mecklenburg county in one day, one of the vic tims white, the other a colored child, and notwithstanding the prompt arrest and conviction of the negro who asianlted the white wo man, there was another case, right in the city a couple days after, when a negro" lying in wait seized and tried to strangle one of two white women who were on their way home. Their screams frightened him and he ran away. Every way has been tried to strike terror into the fiends who perpe trate these crimes. Hanging and even burning at the stake have failed to awe them, for instead of lessening these crimes are becoming more numerous, and their perpe trator? bolder. They commit them, as in Charlotte, right under 4he shadow of the jail, where one fiend is waiting to swing from the gallows into eternity. ' Some of the critics who have never been subjected to the ordeal that Southern communities are write homilies on and profess to be greatly shocked by the summary vengeance wreaked upon these malefactors when caught, but they "suggest no remedy, and have none to suggest, save "let the law take its course; but if they lived in the South and had a mother, wife or daughter as saulted, and in addition, as is fre quently the case, ruthlessly mur dered by a heartless fiend, thev would not stop to write lectures, or to denounce the "savagery" that called for and wreaked vengeance on the guilty. Speedy Tengeance, outside of the forms of law, may not, and it does not stop these crimes, but what might be the condition of affairs if they were not so ayenged ? Would a white woman or a female child be safe anywhere outside of their own home ? As it is they are not always safe in it. Elizabeth Blizzard, in Baltimore, swooped down on her boy, who told her a lie, and determined to break that habit. Her first move was to jab a hot poker into his mouth. The municipal authorities did not ap prove of the reformatory methods. and now Elizabeth haa sir tnnnffii in jail to think up some other more accepiaoie method, in addition to wmcn sne must pay a nne ox i50. Albert Foss, of the town of Taz well, InL, is another freak who boasted that he had neTer been kissed by or kissed a woman.

It also struck and shattered the metal casket which contained the supposed corpse of the little girl, who was found sitting up crTinz for her mother when the attendants at the funeral gathered around the hearse. It was a case 01 suspended anima tion, which would hare been perma nent if it hadn't been for that timely bolt of lightning. CURRENT COMMENT.

Ex-Senator Chandler devotes considerable space to a description of the giant Trusts of the day and the giant evils they bring about; but when you read his remedy, namely: the exercise of legislative control over corporation organizations, the natural comment is "Oh, what a lame and impotent conclusion !" But, the fact probably is that Chandler is at his old trick of "pull ing the wool" over the public eye. nrxAklyn 'jtzent Dtm. The tender regard of his Northern friends is touching in the extreme.
