The Labor Question in lafayette,


Lafayette county, like other
sections Of our state, is beginning
to be threatened with a labor
famine. Negroes are leaving by
families for the delta, where
wages are paid weekly, for their
work, and "long credit tenants
are an exception. Our land own
ers will suffer materially by this
loss, but it can be remedied by
the use of labor-saving machine-
ry. Heretofore, fifteen acres OF
land has been worked by one
man, a mule and plow, With the
exodus of the negro, land owners
will have to use eultivators, which
can do the work of several plows,
and can be run by one laborer.
Cotton picking will be the main
puzzle, in the labor question, but
since cotton has gone down, the
acreage can be decreased to such
an extent that there will be no
difficulty in harvesting a crop.
Diversified crops will help regu-
late the price of cotton, as we'll as
solve the n gro Q: odu5 problem.

Mr.. w. F. English, of the Board
Of Education, was IN the city Tuesday
on his way to consult a specialist IN
Raleigh IN reference to a trouble
which he has experienced with his
eyes. He is one of the most promi-
nent citizens Of Mt. olive and has
many friends who will be gratified
at the improvement in his condition
which he hopes to realize.
The afternoon train from the
North is now known as the s.jug
train" and more tickets have been
sold to and from PikevilIe in the last
ten days than for several months be-
fore. On Saturday afternoon there
we're about thirty jugs Lesldes the
large number of bottles, and again on
the Norfolk shoofly Saturday night
there was u quantity of whiskey
brought here from PIkeviile. The
| Mayor had one case of drunk and dis
orderly before his court Monday morn
ing. The offender said he got his
! whiskey in PIkeviIle. "On TO Pike
! ville' seems to be the slogan Of the
| old as we'll as young topers.
Mr.. D. F. Knrnegay, a prominent
farmer who lives near Dudley ID this
county, was here Monday to buy a full
| set of farm ANIMALS. On Saturday
| night about 10 O'Clock he had two
mules and two horses destroyed by
fire, which also destroyed his barn
! and stables together with eighty bar
| rels of corn and 5000 pounds of hay
and a quantity OF fodder. He is sat
is6ed that the fire was the work Of
an incendlary. He thinks that the
| person who did the dastardly deed
was watching for him to retire and
as soon as he did so the tortch was
applied. His loss will amount TO
81, 200, on which he only has $3.50
Insurance.
The fire in st. Paul church last
| week Just after the Edgerton-Borden
wedding did considerable damage.
The fire was not discovered until
just after the ceremony while the
congregation was passing out of the
church, which is considered a very
fortunate circumstance. AS it was
there r only about fifty people in
the building when the fire was dis
covered and the outer doors were
closed on account of the rush and
only the GOODNESS of some members
of the party prevented serious results.
A small blue fame was first dlscov-
cred creeping through the carpet
near the opening in the floor at the
heater. In a very short time smoke
was oozing through the floor in sew
eral places and along the walls on
either side of the building. When
the fire department reached the
sscene the building was SO full OF
Ismoke that it was impossible to en-
ter. A hose was put into one of the
v~entilators on the side of the build
ing and by chance the stream OF
water struck the place where the fire
Originated. There is every reason to
believe that the fire was caused by a
spark from the heater fue under the
building. The janitor had a guam
tity of dry wood cal the furnace,
which is supposed to have been
ignited by a spark from the hue. The
floor had to be torn up in several
places and the carpet is ruined COM
pletely. It is impossible to get an
accurate estimate of the damage, but
1t will amount to several hundred
dollars, which isfulJy covered by in
Surance.

ness a boxing contest, and we're we'll re-

George Ashley OF Fan River and Blink

The men agreed that if both were on

The fight was OF the hurricane order. For

RACE NEWS BY WIRE

Ever since the directors of the Western
Union Telegraph company decreed last
summer that the leasing OF wires to pool
rooms must stop, pool room keepers have
had to get their news from the tracks
by a roundabout route. This winter.
however. the pools rooms. east, west
north and south. will bet their rae
ing reports by about as direct routes as
possible, I'm part. at least, through the
agencies OF the Postal Telegraph COM
pany,
BY the arrangements which have been
made the company will have no direct
business relations with the pool room
keepers. but all the same the racing re-
ports for the most OF tho winter tracks
will pass over Postal wires before they
get TO tho pool rooms.
The scheme OF news transmission Is
ingenious. From now until early in April
there will be racing on six tracks in the
south and west. At all but two " these
meetings the Postal Telegraph company
will play highly important part in dis
seminating the news, but with never a di-
rect connection with pool room or race
