WHITE LABOR SOUTH i BY IT GREAT AND REMARKABLE DEVELOPMENTS BEING ACCOMPLISHED.

White Men Moving in and Taklna the Earth flct Only in Manufacturing But Also in Agricultural PursuitsThe New Revolution Is. Now On in the Gulf CoaiL Mobile, Ala., Special: One of the great southern railway lines whicn baa paid especial attention to building tip the cotton mill Industry has located mills all along its road in the south. Its policy heretofore, and from which It Is to some extent now receding, was to encourage the locating of cotton idlls at Interior points and not on or near an export point. One very quick ly arrires at the not Inaccurate conclusion that its purpose was to get two hauls, one of the raw material to the mills and the second to the export point. Now large mills are either in operation or in the course of construction at one or the other of its ports. That the cotton was not worked up in the south where it is raised, heretofore, was due to the fact that there was not sufficient white labor in the south to operate the mills: Tho condition was overcome by operators from Massachusettes and New York moving their plants south and bringing their employes along at the same time. So that all through the south you -will find little settlements clustering around typical New England mills in which are' employed entire families. The whites of the south seek employment and find it in these mill3. but no negro can get employment ex cept as a drayman, freight handler or fireman, while his wife and daughters fcan only get work such as scrubbing and scouring about the mill. Black children employes wi!l not be tolerated by the white spinners. Therefore, tiny white children, twelve and even so young as nine years of age, work among the flying spindles, taking up the trade, and learning of which is denied the black child. It is toil that is dwarfling mind and body of these future citizens, while the colored children are attending the public schools. The owners of these mills are northern men and they can operate these plants much cheaper than the mills they, own in the New England states by virtue of saving in freight rates and the absence of childlabor laws, such as prevail in the North. It is only a matter of time until all the big cotton mills will be located In the Soutn. However, there Is a healthful public sentiment that has re sulted in such legislative enactments In most of the Southern states that raises the age at which a child is al lowed to work in a factory and there fore some of these profits will be lost. I only speak of this branch of manufacturing in the South to show how white labor already predominates. The 'prejudice against working with the blacks Is so much more pronounced on the part of the mechanics from the North than with white labor born and raised in the south, that I am more convinced that segregation of the col ored race will be the ultimate and final solution of the problem. Nor is the factory hand and office man from the North alone wio objects to holding a position along-side tfce negro, but the Northern settler who is coming south by the untold hundreds. If. Just as earnest In h!a objection to the black race, not want ing him for an employee on the farm nor as co-laborer, no matter if time and a careful investigation show that the black race in the South is often quite equal in intelligence and certain ly fully as honest as the negro em ployee these people may have had in their Northern homes. There is a no table illustration of this condition of things at several points. Over on the Southern railway line there is a South Carolina town called Pelzer. with near ly 10,000 white inhabitants, all from thp. North and all employees of cotton mills owned and operated by North ern capital. They have no saloons, therefore no Jail; no newspapers and no actresses, but tney have a pretty Y. M. C. A. building, a free library and the most moral town in the South. They bar editors and actresses, along with the blacks. r Tne Southland company, now settllng thousands of people in the highlands half way between Mobile and Pensacola, have a new white man's A 1 f A S . u - lown m & wnue man s empire of a quarter million acres in which is not to be one single black family. It is a newly developed country and the set tlers are all from the North, many coming In search of a more healthful climate. At their pretty little tow a called Gateswood, I found farmeii from nearly every Indiana, Illinois and Ohio county, and fruit raisers from overy congressional district of Michlgan and Wisconsin and nearly every Northern state. There I met a Mr. Muir, a Chicago attorney. He took a prominent part in the Haymarket anarchlst trial for the state. xa came to the Gulf coast to see If he could re cover from an attack of pieursonla that had made him a physical wreck. He aid his three sons are now farming neat Gateswood and he has found health in Ü.e open air. ' Said he: "Here I am f urrounded by people from Chicago, Milwaukee and Michigan points, people whom I have known for cany years. From my window at night I can see the lights in houses cn every hand and these lights stand fn every case as a beacon from the home of a family who cams from the North. I have no prejudlcs against the nesro. I had none up North and I have none here, but we do not want tlzn es a neighbor or servant." Tut is net tha negro indlspsnsibl3 Ui the Couth?" I asked him. "Net at all" he answered, "for thst Q-icitlcn to often ts'-cd in the Nath, cl ty psopl8 who mais fiylns visits to tl3 Cc-th, la f-rr-nptirn quite currt La C.3 North, tzzzl cu two tsssrC TL a Crzt r-r-znrticn ia that

diets. - The second assumption "Is, that. If such physical 'objection: did

L not exist, whites could not be attracted to the South to compete with the blacks. A partial answer can be made to your question if you will Tisit the hig Swedish settlement in Alabama where that sturdy racs has colonized rast stretches of land with splendid success and. ara raising fruit and gar den truck and grain. All these large tracts of sugar -cane and cassava, corn and potatoes raised here this year were planted and tiken care of by North ern people. I superintended the con struction of a number of houses dur ing the past summer and with the help of my sons cleared up several acres of land with my own hands. Let me tell you there is no doctor within fifteen miles of Gateswood and we never need one. We have the magic balsam of the pine and an atmosphere tempered by the ocean which guarantees perfect health conditions. These great sweeps of grassy acres will pasture thousands of sheep and cattle Here will be the garden spot of the world Here we have neither grip nor bron chial diseases. We are out of'the white plague" -belt, though, I know. as the value of these highlands become known, the weak-lunged people will come from the north. We have a good school and every religious denomination will soon have Its own church. We have an Independent rail way line that connects with the L. & N. R. R., the greatest railway system of the south. We have no winter at all, nothing except a few days of frost. while blizzards are unknown and our summers are never so warm as you have them in the North. When you consider that the soil is productive and yjgids abundantly of grain and nearly everything that you raise in the North; that we are in the fruit and melon belt; that disease is unknown among hogs, sheep and cattle; and when you further consider that three crops of vegetables can be raised in one year, that these things are being accomplished by white people from the North, who are happy, prosperous and contented, 'it is then I think I have answered your question most completely." It is my observation that Mr. Muir gives a fairly accurate view of - the labor problem in the South. I find that he and his neighbors have brought their help from Chicago or other points in the North. .They are determined to waste no time on the race problem. While the South has put up with the service of Incompe tent farm hands, the settler from the North; finding that everything was to his own liking as to climate and soil. brought his own laborers with him. last year one railway line settled fif teen hundred white families while over seven thousand immigrants were scattered along other lines in the South. During the next few months, you can be sure that there will be such an Immigration into the Gulf Coast as California never saw In her boom days. J. M. KEENEY, Jr. MILLIONS IN TURPENTINE The High-Priced Commodity 8ecured In New Way and Fortunes Are In It. Professor S. M. Tracy, Trho Is tho government crop expert for west Florida, and having in charge experimental stations on the entire Gulf coast, is a northern bred man of high education and vast experience because he has been engaged In his chosen profession in the South for a quarter of a century. He believes in the Gulf coast as being the future market basket of the whole country. He said in a recent interview: "The increase in wealth and population of the South in the past five years, you will notice by statistics, has outstrip ped the West or Southwest. Thi3 marvelous growth 13 due to the fact that the people of the North have become acquainted with the fertility of the lands in west Florida and south Alabama more particularly. My experi ments show that in south Alabama the soil is singularly well adapted to cotton, corn and upland rice, and that nearly anything raised in the North or Middle states can be raised In this sec tion. It will be the great fruit and veg etable section of the Union. Cheap and easy fertilization makes it produce crops so fast that I have been amazed at its possibilities. I believe that much of this cut-over land which has been denuded of the long leaf pine, now selling at prices around $10 an acre, will be selling at $100 to $150 an acre In the next few years. "What makes the clearing of this country easily accomplished is due to science which has developed a simple process by which turpentine, resin oil, creosote and other by-products, along with charcoal of a high class is produced from fallen "'fat" wood, pine logs, and stumps wrested from the ground, the same being rich In oil. Turpentine has become very scarce and will bo worth more every year, Twelve months ago it was worth 43c I and tnrtav Kfin a cnllnn. Tt will nftver be cheaper. There are distilling plants going up all over the MpineyM woods lands that are Kettln twentyfive gallons of high grade turpentine from every cord of "fat" pine stumps. The turpentine yields a profit of $15 to $18 a cord, and the other products enable the distiller to pay the settler $4.50 a cord for the fallen timber or stumps that, he clears from his lands. Many acres of these cut-over lands have three cords of 'fat' stumps or logs on them. Therefore the settlers who pay $10 an acre for land get enough to pay for the land and for clearing it, and Once the lunl la 1prA1 ran sell ,t for from 25 to an ftcre T glTe .MnrA ht i,0,it,, science the credit of accomplishing much of the wonderful development cf the Southern coast" . Professor Tracy lives at Biloxi, a pretty little town on the Gulf. coast, and has done much towards calling the attention of'the peopla of the country In general to the Gulf ccast. He loves the country and thinks it 13 the finest cllnate in the world. No XIarket Import. C-lczzo, Dec 23. Tcday teinj Gzliiz23 tl:3 exctar-cs era all clcced cJ tiers b cd Girkc: rct.

GULF COAST CROPS INTERESTING FACTS RELATIVE TO FARMING IN THE EXTREME SOUTH

Products Varied in Character and Soil Richly Reward Faithful Farmers This Will Be ths Great Livestock Section. Gateswooi, Ala., Special: There 13 a surprising lack of information on the part of the Northern farmer as to the crop possibilities of the greater part of the South. Perhaps the high lands of Baldwin county, Alabama, can best be chosen as the locality the products of which can be named as typical representatives of the region known as the Gulf Coast. If we t&ke the Central South we find every climate and soil with, which the Northern Immigrant is familiar. The farmer from" Michigan, Nebraska or the Dakotas will find little change in crops or climate, of his experience in parts of Kentucky, Tennessee and northern Alabama, except that the winters are much shorter and lack the awful severity with which he is familiar. However, if his own health or that of his family requires a less rigorous climate and he seeks the salubrious and soft climate of the Gulf Coast, there is a radical change in the soil and in the methods of farming as well as a complete change in farm products. On this Immediate Gulf Coast there is no possibility of blizzards, never such things as northers nor sand-storms, and it is never visited by cyclonic disturbances, and there are only a few degrees of frost. It Is a country where doctors and dealers in overcoats will seek new avocations. The summers are long. The sun is hot but the air is tempered by a gentle Seabreeze ladened with the odor of pine trees, while sultry nights are unkno-vn. Livestock has abundant pasture ten months in the year, and what little shelter may be requir ed is inexpensive. Here are some of the forage crops: Oats yield 40 to 70 j bushels to the acre; upland rice yields j 40 to 60 bushelc, if threshed worth $1 ' a bushel, often cut in the milk and put away like sheaf oats for feed; hay of various varieties ; cassava (nothing less than South American tapioca and yielding from six to 11 tons to the acre, growing on the sandy soil) which is five times as rich in starch and fastening qualities as corn; velvet beam yielding from six to sixteen tons to the acre; cow-peas, etc. All these furnish winter forage and are unfailing crops year after year. Two acres of oats sown In the fall will furnish . abundant pasture for a cow in the winter season, and give splendid dairying returns with no other feed, and can be cut with a yield equalling the best oats of Indiana or Illinois. There Is not a day in the year when a' man may not work out In the open air in his shirt-sleeves, and there Is not a' calendar month in the year when some edible crop may not be raised. Two or three crops o! hayi-whlch is equal to the best timothy can be cut from the same field in one year. Neither timothy nor red clover nor even blue grass do well here. In fact have never been given a fair test; but Bermuda, carpet grass, beggar weed and Mexican clover are indigenous along with 250 other varieties of grasses that originate on the Gulf Coast. Few people realize tha?. the high land3 of west Florida and south Alabama are the best grassed countries in the world. In fact, let some of these grasses once get a start and it is almost Impossible to get rid of thorn. These hay crops are valuable and never failing. Cattle seem to prefer the ha to timothy from the North. The 9oil of the Gulf Coast is a sandy loam with a clay subsoil that permanently retains fertilization, which is accomplished by chemical products or by crop rotations. It is much easier to cultivate when once cleared of the stumps, that work being easily done, than any soil In the North, and a much larger area may be tended than in the colder North. If fertilization is required it may be done at much less cost than elsewhere in the South, as the largest chemical fertilization plants in the world are on the Gulf Coast and their products are shipped by steamer from Pensacola to Germany, England. France and all parts of the world. The native farmr h save in very few cases, made little study of fertilization and crop rotation, and Northern Immigrants are surprised that such vast opportunities in agricultural products have so long remained dormant. When any man from the North comes here and makes a failure he has himself alone to blame. He .must plant or sow such things as the country will produce to the best advantage. He never expected to raise sugar cane or rice or pineapples In the North, and he should not expect to raise crop down her mot suited to this climate, and when he cozies and studies the soil and the seasons and Is governed by the experiences of others from the North he finds that nature is lavish In her certain rewards. Last summer I was a visitor at the Magnolia Hill ranch and hay farms owned by the great Southern States Lumber -company, near the town of Muscogee, about fifteen miles from Pensacola, where I found In one place ,600 acres of land In cultivation, land that four years ago was thickly cumbered with large stumps of the longIsaf pine, and now reclaimed for agricultural purposes, and a finer sweep of corn, upland rice, cassava, oats, rye and velvet bean fields I never saw. Later their huge barns were filled with fragrant hay and other forage crops. Lest month they had 500 head of cattle, thoroughbred Herelords and stock, grafted on scrawny native cattle, with such marvelous improvements over stock I saw elsewhere, that it must have startled those who thought this was never to be a stock country. This company had a large herd of Dsrkshlre hcs that were fattened on ciicava and corn, and the visitor felt ta thevh hevi cnj .Toa jrm ch.

were It noTfor the (vTiTa"of scattering pines in the distance. "Now this was accomplished purely by a strictly Yankee way of .doing things. These sheep and cattle and hogs are highclass, fat and in fine condition. Here, therefore, I find ä practical illustration cf ihe possibilities of a country that now does not raise nearly enough beef nor pork nor mutton for its own use, but Imports meat supplies from Kansas City. I find the Southland 'Company, which one year and a half ae;o

began colonizing a strip of 100,00) acres cf land around about the town of Gateswood, were using this model farm as an object lesson to great advantage. I took from Pensacola, Florida (via Cantonment, a little station on the L. N. railroad system, a few miles from Pensacola) a train out on the Mobile, Muscogee & Eastern railway line, now under construction, and visited this bright lljtle town of Gateswood. It !s peopled altogether with Northern settlers. clear-headed, healthful folks, who had fled from tor rid summer heat and grip-infected North with its severe winters. I found a company of Chicago people, mostly educators, not many miles distant who have an Industrial association and have planted nearly 1,100 acres in peach and other fruit trees, a nursery proposition so well planned and so well worked out that Its showing surprised me. I found all these lands to be gently rolling, carpeted deep In rich, nutritious grasses and free from sandy ridges or swamps. There were no malarial conditions whatever and no pests of Insect or reptile life. There is limpid, soft spring water on every quarter section, and every drop is fit to drink. Soft freestone water Is reached at from 15 to 30 feet, and at a depth of 80 to 150 feet Inexhaustible flowing wells can be secured. In short, this Is destined to be the great stock, grain and fruit , section of the South. Midway between Mo bile, with a rapidly increasing popula ticn of 60,000; and Pensacola, with a population of 25,000, now experiencing a boom (neither place over twentyfive miles away), the farmer, the dairy man, the fruit raiser, the poultryman, has a market right at hand. The freight rates based on export tariffs are reasonable, and in twenty-four tours special fast fruit trains will transport all the early products to Chicago or New York, putting the same on the market ten days earlier than similar products from other parts of the South. For some time the great L. & N. rail way system has made a specialty of these fast trains carrying berries, peaches and cantaloupes from Castleberry, Thorsby and Cullman to the North, and these products have a dis tinctive merit well known all over the North. A few years ago neither of these places were known fifty miles away. These fruit growers never had the advantage as to soil, climate and geographical location, nor freight tar iff, that these sturdy people at Gateswood are blessed with. I have visited the officer of the Southland company at Pensacola, Flor ida, and learned that the company is expecting to bring 1,000 families into this "promised land" during the next few months. This is only one of the several enterprises nurtured by the In ternational Land and Harbor company, largely capitalized by Indiana, Illinois and Ohio men, and having large means at command. Among their posses sions are lands and wharf rights at Mobile, besides timber lands of vast value, and its own short line of railway opening up this new and undeveloped territory of which I have Just written. Up around Birmingham, Alabama, the center of the great steel Interests of the country,. I found the truck gar deners of that section were coming further south and acquiring lands which they will cultivate, thereby ex pecting to care for their Northern customers in the spring, gaining a full month that must elapse before the fields and gardens about Birmingham are able to supply the trade. There is an unfailing rainfall along the Gulf coast. There Is some rain every week in the year. It comes up quickly and quits as quickly. The fall Is 56 Inches a year, timost double the rainfall of the Middle States, therefore irrigation Is never required. I believe the time is not far remote when the Irrigated lands of Louisiana, now worth from $100 an acre up, will be second in value to the upland rice plateau of South Alabama, for here as great a yield can be had without the great cost of irrigation. Here is a summary or tne crop yields carefully made: Sugar cane yields a profit of $150 an acre; upland rice $40 to $60; corn $20; hay $30 to $45; Irish potatoes (two crops) $100 to $150; sweet pota toes $150 to $250. Fig growing is becoming a great Industry on the Gulf coast and near Bay St. Louis a canning factory Is establishing a splendid business. The yield of strawberries and peaches is so great that it amazes strangers and Is unfailing. J. II. KEENEY, JR. No Hope for ZanardellU Rome, Dec. 26.

Salt pork is a famous oldfashioned remedy for consumption. "Eat plenty of -pork,' was the advice to the consumptive 50 and 10c years ago. Salt pork is good if a man can stomach it. The idea behind it is that fat is the food the. consumptive needs most. Scott'sEmulsionisthemodern method of feeding fat to the consumptive. Pork is too rough for sensitive stomachs. Scott's Emulsion is the most refined of fats, especially prepared for easy digestion.

The most terriiic wind storm that ever passed over this vicinitj- struck WahInjrton. There was much damage, ami possible fatalities. A new five-story building of the Cincinnati Heating company was leveled to the ground, and it is possible that many lives were lost In the debris, as many visitors were in the building during the afternoon. The storm was sudden, and it Is probable that the people remained in the building for protection. Chief f the Fire Department Feagans is conducting a search to learn If any lives were lost. The loss to the building is 120.000, and oilier lossej resulted. Telephone and telegraph wires are down. Seymour also reports dam age by the storm. No One Caught in the Wreck. Later. It was found that none of the persons who sought shelter in the structure had perished, but six men who had entered the building left it a moment before the crash. . Blizzard Weather Experienced.

Town Mar shal William Harmon, of Diamond, a mining town of Clay county, whom the miners have twice tried to lynch, bas fortified bis home; armed himself with Winchester rifles, and sent out a gen ertl invitation to the miners to call. Several days ago, while attempting to quell a riot Harmon's revolver was accidentally discharged and Dennis McCann was killed by the shot The grand jury exonerated the marshal. The miners then made an attack upon the home of Harmon, but he escaped by a back door. A 6econd attempt was made, but he was not at home when the mob visited his house. He says he proposes to remain at home and if he is again attacked he will defend himself. He also says that he is determined to serve out the official term for, which he was elected. j. Legislation the Only Suggestion. Indianapolis, Dec. 2G. Recommendations for future legislation and silence as to the individual responsibility for the Furdue wreck are the characteristics of the grand jury's report. The blame for the wreek is placed on- an alleged lack of system and lack of cooperation in the railway company and to an imperfect system of train handling. The report says no good would come from the prosecution or any person connected with the railroad. It is recommended that laws be passed covering the necessary improvements. Get Nothing for His Eye.
