North Carolina Sentiment.

4 Commenting on. and copying from Gov.
Aycock's Baltimore speech on the negro
question. the Asheville Citizen says: 8
And we will add, that If twere not
for the outside interference with the me-
gro, political and otherwise, the white
people of the South would hesitate far
less to deal out to. him equal justice and
thus give him an absolutely fair chance.
The Greensboro Record, published In
Judge Boyds home, has this to say about
the charges against him:
Those at all familiar with this fight
against him know. the source from which
the charge comes. & is done, not with
any view OF iWpeeahip stshim. but simply
TO bedeVil and harrass him. and though
he knows there is nothing whatever
against him and that his friends will
rallyF'to HIS support, were such action
necessary 1t Is bound to have this effect.
On the same subject the Charlotte OBJ

LbBOR[RS IN DEMAND.
Great Scarcity of Workers In
The Higher and Lower
Trades Alike
10000 WANTED BY RAILWAYS
10000 WANTED BY RAILWAYS
Extensive Improvements and Exten-
sions Are Being Made on Different
Railroads of Iowa, and Great Diffu-
Guilty is Already Being Experienced
in Getting Men to Do the Work.

Des Moines, March 1e.-There is an
unprecedented demand for laborers In
Iowa. This demand extends from the
common laborers who shovels dirt,
wheels barrow, or drives team
to wagon or scraper, to the trades and
ARTISANS.
Mr.. o. P. Herrick, who has num-
Der of the grading contracts at the
army post in Des Moines, is pretty well
situation in Iowa. He finds that there
are demands at the present time for
10000 laborers on the various rail-
ways of the state, including the roads
which are making Improvements and
the roads which are making extern
sions. The Great Western has 100000
yards of dirt yet to move on the Har-
n-Council Bluffs section of the Oma-
ha extension, and the dirt will fly
along this line as fast as the men can
make it move. The Hall Construc-
ton company which has been using
a big force Of men along the line will
remove It's paraphernalia and men
next week to Glenwood and begin the
grading for the extension Of the dou-
BILE track along the Burlington into
Omaha. The contractors expect to
have the track on the cutoff into the
Bluffs ready for operation by the mid
ole of May, 1904. While Mr.. Hall will
Withdraw this force of men other con-
tractors will keep up the work along
the Great Western and it is expected
that steel will be laid in some places
by April Is. 1t was announced re-
Gently that the Great Western hopes
to get a train into Council Bluffs by
the 4th day OF July. The event will
be celebrated with appropriate exer-
cises
The demand for common laborers
on both the Burlington and the Chicago
Great Western is large. Demand for
laborers for the spring overhauling of
sections is also larger this year than
ever before. In Des Moines and vi
cinity the Des Moines City Railway
company and the Des Moines 1nterur-
ban company will use many men this
season.
Reports by local employees Of labor

in as bad shape for laborers this year
as this city. Waterloo is short on la
Dor, and it is reported that at Sioux
City, Ottumwa. Des Moines and Cedar
Rapids there will be more work than
the local residents can get done. Ce-
dar Rapids will put in couple Of
miles of pavement this year. Brick
will be used.
In Des Moines, Sioux City, Cedar
Rapids and Ottumwa, the pork and
beef packing and curing centers, the
packing houses are employing more
men than ever in their history. Other
factories in the state with very few
exceptions are working to the limit.

HOGS TO SELL AT EIGHT DOLLARS
Prediction Made That They Will Soon
Reach That Price.

Chicago. March 16.-The DroverS'
Journal of Saturday printed the follow
ling regarding the general hog situa-
ton:
Since Jan. / to date the eleven lead
ing markets received = million fewer
hogs than arrived in the corresponding
time year ago and about 100000 less
than two years ago. For the past week
only $4,000 arrived, being among the
smallest on record for this time of the
year and $4,000 less than. arrived in
the CORES onding week year ago.
Chicago for the week alone received
&C, 900 less than n year ago. with total
here to date of about 100000 less than
(, year ago OF the 100000 received at
the eleven markets for the year to date
Chicago is credited with 1,740,000, or
about 10 per cent of the combined re-
ceipts at eleven markets. With such
falling off in receipts it is not surprising
that prices at Chicago reached point
surpassed only twice in the history of
Chicago's prices for March. The top
was $3.50, being SO cents higher than
for March, 1902. In March, 1893, the
year that John Cudahy failed, hogs
March on record. There is no question
but what receipts will continue COM
raratively small and prices high dur
ing the next two or three months, not
withstanding the fact that packers
claim to have lost money during the
past month.
/, Predictions are freely .aade that hogs
will reach IS in the near future. in fact
dealers in the country are holding them
at that figure, which would mean they
will have to sell between fS.25 and $3.50
or the open market. Such prices seem
dangerously high and there is no ques-
ton but what packers will fight any
further upturn in values. On the other
hand. however, hog Supplies at points
tributary to eastern markets are giving
out, being usual for this time of the
year. which means that eastern pack
ers will have to look to the west for
their hogs. all of which will tend to
boost prices regardless of what local
packers expect of the future. The con-
sumptive demand for hog products Is
rapidly reducing the stock of meats on
hand to point perhaps never smaller
for this time of the year. The average
cost price of hogs at Chicago for the
week was S7.46, the highest in nearly
six months. % cents higher than the
previous week, 81 cents higher than a
month ago, 95 cents higher than two
months ago, SILT higher than a year
ago. sl.T6 higher than two years ago
and 1886 higher than the correspond
ing week of 1899, when the average
was only $3.50.
