THE IMPROVIDENT DARKEY.
The Way Winston Tobacco Factory
Operatives Do.

The Tobacco Journal gets off the
following which is lust the size OF it, F"
Oars 'cursion termOrrer an Use
gwine :" Certainly Sambo is going on
the excursion. That is one Of his
weaknesses. Just advertise ''ho !!
for" anywhere on the face of crea-
tfon, and II he can rake and Scrdpe
enough money to buy ticket and to
have good time" he is sure to
board that train. There have been a
number Of excursions for cOlored peo
pie from Winston this summer, and
every one carried a large crowd.
This illustrates the darkey's i'm
providence He never looks ahead
So he has full stomach today he does
not bother about what tomorrow
brings forth. The idea of laying aside
something against Il rainy day never
enters his MUD. The Winston tObac-
co. factory operative, who get pretty
good pay for his work in the summer
and could easily save part OF IT., Will
spend IN day on an excursion enough
to keep him in food for month OF
more during the winter wnen he Is
out of employment.
Not only does he bring sufferingS
upon himself and his family by his
recklessness, but when idle he becomes
an object OF charity and tax upon
the whites. For the past two winters
it was necessary TO raise funds to save
our colored poor from starvation.
Soup houses were opened. Beggars
were common. Many hungry mouths
were fed by private beneficence.
Cannot this be remedied in some
way? Is it not in the power of the
manufacturers to put stop to the
waste Of money by their employees and
to help them to save? For instance,
cannot a part of their wages be with
held by issuing due bills payable say
in December, January, February and
March ? If something of this kind
