A NEGRO EXODUS
Now in Progress From North Carolina To
ward Kansas and Arkansas.

RALEIGH, N. c., Dec. IA rcmarka-
BILE exodus of colored labor is now in
progress from several counties along the
southern border of this state These
counties are Ilarnett, Cumberland, Robe
son, Richmond, Columbia, Arson, and
Union For some months men have
been at work in all that section seeking to
induce abie-bodied men and their families
to 90 to Kansas or Arkansas. IL is thought
that in all between 1900 and 1900 persons
have thus far left, and This is SO great q
drain upon the labor of Richmond county
that the people are anxious 20 stop It.
The county commissioners were called
upon to take steps TO put stop
to it, and one of the immigration
agents was arrested. At several sta
lions on the Carolina Central Rail
|, ad there mas been rush Of negroes,
nearly all bound for Kansas As many as
four hundred were in Charlotte yesterday,
and most of these were from Richmond
and Arson. They are waiting for the
immigration agent, who appears to have
deserted them. All had paid their fare &c
Charlotte. The railway offered to give
them free transl ort4tiou back to theii
homes, but they have been so wrought up
by the agents with stories Of life aud
wealth in Kansas that they cannot be In.
duced to turn back from the promised
land. The negroes in Charlotte are
without means, as the agents told then
their expenses wond be paid from Char
lotte to Kansas by them. Some families
OF negroes consist of a man and wife and
as many as a dozen children. No reports
have come back from hundreds who are
already in Kansas and Arkansas. A few
years ago there was a similar emigration
from this state to Kansas. Many emf
grants died and others returncd. NJ
cause is given for the exodus eXcep

held out by agents. There is no abate
