Since cotton began hos-n Monroe
has been on starvation failing. Other
iUi complain that the negroes
have gone North in such large num
bers that cooks and other servants
cannot lie had Not so here. One or
two have gone North, but only a few.
They have gone to the cotton fields.
For some tunc iast it has U-en almost
imsissible to keep washerwomen,
cooks, house servants or wood-chopper.
The cotton field is the natural
home of the negro, and they flock hi
it as if by inslim-t. The ke way
of working and the congregating to
gether in large crowds pleases them,
and besides a good hand can make
more in a week picking cotton than
she can in a month by domestic ser
vice. No wonder they go to the fields
Tis their joyous, happy time. It is
