Smith, in transmitting his Message to the General Assembly of Alabama, alluded to the condition of the State, as follows: "Through the mercies of a kind Providence, the cultivators of the soil have this year been blessed with a reasonably abundant crop. That class of our people being prosperous, we naturally find a corresponding prosperity in mercantile, mechanical and other pursuits. Towns and cities are being built up, and internal improvements are going forward. In a material point of view, therefore, we have cause to be gratified at the actual condition of things, and encouraged at the prospect before us. "Nor is it in material prosperity alone that we find so much cause for encouragement. In regard to political affairs there is a manifest improvement in the public sentiment of the State. We find a diminution of the excitement and intolerance which were engendered, among the people during the process of reconstruction." "At the present price of cotton, there are few, if any, places in the world where farm labor is as well rewarded as it is in our cotton-growing States. Cotton raising in Alabama is, perhaps, as profitable as in any State in the Union. It is probably more so than in the average of them; and hence it can pay as high a rate as any, and higher than some, for the labor that is necessary to produce this great staple. Alabama, therefore, is peculiarly attractive to such laborers as may desire employment in the cotton-field. "Some of our mountain counties contain almost inexhaustible quantities of coal, iron, marble, slate and other minerals.
