THE NEED OF THE SOUTH.
IN immigrants Who Are Willing II

Wilmington, October 26, 1909.
he Editor of the Messenger:

To the Editor of the Messenger:
According to the Southern CultivatoT,
the Southern Railway Company l.
making efforts to start an influx of
German farmers along its lines. THIS
is a sensible way out of the SO-callcd
scarcity of farm labor question
which in my opinion is mostly mag
mary.
What the south needs for best de-
velOpment, q am speaking on the ag-
riculturai s1de.) is not that mOneyed
man. that comes from some northern
state as an investor, buys up a large
tract of land. hires all the labor in
sight and raises crops in competition
with his less fortunate neighbOrs, who
are tIlling their own acres without
hired labor. neither is it the laboring
man. that some want imported TO he
south. in the shape of Cinnamon, JapS.
Italian etc. There is no scarcity of
farm labor IN the south. There Is
some to spare yet. Whenever enough
have left the country for town to so
reduce the production Of produce, thai
the same VIII sell in towns at a price.
the wage edrners in town cannot aft
ford to pay. then is it time to talk
about labor getting scarce.
What the south most needs for her
agricultural development is the m
| migrant. that comes here with lite
| or no capital. but is willing and able
to put q shoulder TO the wheel himscif.
without calling on Sambo. or anyb 1dJ~
else TO do it for him..
The south has the resources, let "a

capital will follow where these quail
tiles are.

Graham, a negro drayman. working for
carrying or systematic stealing for
some time and has finally landed in Jail.
For several months the firm has been
missing goods from their warehouses
and il developed that their drayman
has been stealing the goods and dispOs-
ing of them to other negroes. When
accused of the theft of the goods the
drayman pleaded guilty to the charge
and said that other negroes to whom he
had been selling the goods knew that
they were stolen and made the purchaS-
eS at educed prices Warrants have
been issued for 4 number of these peo-
pie whom the drayInan claims are his
accOmpIICeS and the trial i expected
10 be quite interesting when the case
comes up for 4 hearing before 4 a mag

real smar, dJrkey and is Said to be
quick at figures. He has been trusted
with the keys 10 the warehouses and
was thought 10 he honest There Is no
way 10 account for what has been
stolen. but II IS known that several
hundred dollars worth OF neLNN SIpS-t-
les IL the bulk have been missing.
For the first time yesterday the
Southern railway ran oae of their large
engines iu,o his city. The engine is
what is known as a big jack and has
eight driving wheels. Heretofore the
Southern has used some very common
light weight engines on this end of the
line on account of the bridge over Lit
tie River. which had been condemned.
Recently the company has strengthened
the bridge with driven piles and now
they will not have TO change engines at
Selma as they have done heretofore.
They intend 20 replace the wooden
bridge over the river with a steel struc-
ture and had the material on the scene,
but it is said now that the present ma
terial will be replaced with still heavier
steel, which leads the public to believe
that the Southern will run their Nor
folk trains through this city, as was
noted in this correspondence some time
ago. G~Oldsboro will hen be the chang
ing point, instead of Selma.
