General Infertility

As a general rule the condition of the Cold. people is not encourageing. They will make nothing the present year. And many of them will be in debt. The system of working for a share of the crop is a failure. The freedoms are getting careless and indifferent. And I apprehend great suffering and destitution during the winter. Labor will not be in so great demand as formerly. As many planters do not intend to plant cotton next year. But will turn their attention to raising grain and stock.
