The list Bale of Cotton.

The first. bale of cotton shippcil from Texas this year was by a colored man. “Abe Gilmore." Galveston payers exult in his cntcrprtsc, and the incrclr ills gave lliltl a silver pitcllcr and a slit tip for his sitcoms. 'l‘ho “ Frcc Man‘s Press“ of Austin, Texas, edited. conlposiied and printed by colored lueil, is properly jubi- taut. It says:

" It has been the talk of the enemies oi the colored people that. now they are fine, they will die of idleness; but uncln Abe's -' iirsl. bale" not only proves to the cott- trnry. bill. also proves that there is enter- prise ill the colored people, which only needs lrcedout and a generous libct'ai gov- ernment to develop; and which will soon compel their white ncighbors to pill. loriil. not only the best efforts of their muse , but their brains, in order to claim any ad- vantage."

It nlso adds this good advice. good for everybody without distinction of color.and especially adapted to lazy. whisky-drink- ing white ll'ash of the South. who employ their little ill shouting their lndustlious brothers. instead of surpassing them ill honorable work. The new "Abe" may yet be an popular as the old.
