Roosevelt Has Done Harm.

New York Times.
Mr.. Roosevelt has done the
negroes OF the South good.
He has done them and the
whole country great harm.
He has aroused a race ha.
tired in all sections that was
IN the way OF slowly dying
out. The scheme OF the Demo
Gratis Ito divide the colored
vote Of the North to which
Mr.. D'pew alludes, selfish as
it was, was bound to have a
good effect, since, since, 50
far as it was pushed, it would
have tended to destroy race
prejudice in politics, and it
would to some extent have
spread to the South, where
it's influence would have been
still more bpnificent. At the
best the action oi the Presl,
dent has stimulated ere
office seeking and encourage
ed office seekers among the
negroes while he has --checked
a movement that distinctly
would have tended to peace
and gooi feelings between
the races. This Mr.. Depew
crows over. 1t should be a
source of regret and shame.

Neg roes Leaving Mecklcnburg.

Charlotte Observer.
The question OF keeping Ia
borers Is getting to he a ri
Gus question, not only tothA
farmers in this county but to
the people in Charlotte who
employ many hands. F or
three J ears Mecklenbnrg has
suffered some for the lack OF
farm hands, and this year it
is feeling the scarcity OF labor
ers more than ever. Crops
suffer and the yield is cut
short because of the lack OF
attention ut the proper time.
The one good effect this
has on the farmers OF t. h e
county is that it is compel
ing them to open their purs>
es and invest in improved. la
bor-saving ma"hiuery. MOle
machinery has Ueen sold in
Charlotte within the past two
years than for any fourypars
previous.
But the exodus OF negro la
bor is also beginning to at
feet the people in the CITY.
The scarcity of hands has
greatly increased the size OF
the wages of the remainder.
The builders OF the city and
grading contractors are pay
ing more for labor now than
they have for many years.
This is for unskilIed labor,
and there has not been an
idle mason nor carpenter or
other skilled workman in the
city for many months, il he
, desired the work. More build
, ers and skilled w0rknen are
employed in the city now
y than ever before and the de-
, mand is still greater than
the supply, although t h {
good wages are attracting
the class OF work deslreC
, from other towns.
