AT Y. NJ. G. A. Tonight.

Florence Louise Ketchum, who will
appear at Association Hall tonight at
s O'Clock, is spoken Of by the Presi-
dent of the Ithaca Conservatory of
Music, in the following terms:
miss Retchum Is a dramatic artist
and refined young woman. The richly
varied success of this superb artist in
her monodramatic interpretations, IN
many states, places her in the front
rank of Americas younger readers.
The reasons for this ere numerous and
unmistakable Miss Ketchum Is a
unique personality. The artist tingles
in every fibre of her being. Her art
is forgetfully natural and it goes
straight to the heart. Her iustlnc-
tive discrimination in literary and
dramatic values gives TO her work that
which all true art has-an educational
value. Miss Ketchum's interpre tations
are clear and SHARP III their outlines,
foil of the fire and dash that makes
nerves tingle, and yet withsl they are
subtle, we'll shaded, and tempered with
that reserve that gives to art its need
ed balance and repose. Her voice is
clear with Intelligence; strong and res
onant with the awakened energy of a
vigorous, flexible body; and, as occas-
ion requires, it is delicate, spiritual,
and mighty, with the music of a great
| soul. In Miss Ketchum we find the
happy blending of the vision OF the
poetess with the expression of high
| ly gifted actress.

WHITE AND ooLoRED LABOR.

Under the above heading the Char
lotte Chronicle has an editorial show
ing that many callings which hereto
fore nave, by common consent. beer
turned over 10 negroes are now being
taken up by white men and women. Ii
cites the laundry business, the barber
shop business and waiting in hotels.
In most all towns of any size the old
time negro w~asnerwomen are giving
way to steam ;aundries operated by
white men and Barbersnops
run by white men are much more dam-
erous throughout the south than they
were n few years ago. Many hotels
in the south ara substituting white
girls for negro walters in the dining
rooms and for negro chamber maids.
The Chronicle says the hotels in High
Point. Gastonia. S~tatesville. Hickory,
Greensboro and other places" have
white girls employed In the diu;ng
rooms. 1t might have added Whining
ton, also. We believe the Colonial I'm,
in this city, has had this kind of ser
vice ever since it first opened andJhe
proprietor finds them perfectly salts
factory.
On this subject The Chronicle pub
fishes the following letter from the pro-
prietOrs of the BenbOw, of Greensboro,
one of the leading hotels in the state:
Replying to your letter of several
days ago., will state that our change
from negro to white help has proven
satisfactory and our hopes have been
more thar sustained. We have abou
80 girls, eight of whom came from the
north, while the others are from
North Carolina. We secured the few
northern girls in the beginning. for
the reason hat we inaugurated this
change during the latter part of sum-
mer when it was hard to get girls
in our own state on account Of the
fact that the mountain resorts We're
still open and nae most of the avail
able ones employed for the season. An
other reason was on account of the
fact that the northern girls that we
sent for were employed in large New
England hotels where they were ac-
cuStomed to handling, large rOWdS
while our North Carolina girls only
had experience of smaller houses. We
are glad to say, however, hat the
North Carolina girls are doing remark
ably we'll and are now Just as sys-
tematic about their work as the New
England girls who have a long
training. from which our native girls
have derived great benefit.
w believe these girls all enjoy
their work and it is a pleasure for us
to state that they have given us very
little trouble-certainly nothing to
mpa with the negroes who kept us
in constant turmoil on account of fire.

nOyance of the walters. who constant
ly worked for their tip. Quite differ
ent with the girls. They never i'm
press one as looking for a fee, while
they are always attentive, clean and
tidy.
I'VE try to make their life in the
hotel as pleasant as possible, and with
this end in view, AVE set aside a par
lor where they receive their friends
in the evening.
IF we a give you any further in
rmation on this subject, it will be
a pleasure to do so.

NEW PARTY CHARTS.

While politics in New York were
badly mixed all round on Tuesday
there were wonderful %upheavals in
Ohio and Pennsylvania. Who would
have thought a year ago that any pop
ula movement could come anywhere
near defeating the machine in
the city of Philadelphia Or that the
tremendous republican majority was
i'll danger of being wiped out? Then
Maryland refuses to line up with the
other southern states in DISTINGUISHING
the ignorant n illiterate negro. The
results of the elections in the localities
mentioned seem to. Indicate a great
change in political conditions as thew
have existed for a number of years.
It begins to look as if the old lines
which have been so sharply drawn and
SO closely observed by partisans on
each side were about to be obliterated
to a great extent. 1t looks like the
near approach of the forming Of new
parties or the change in alignment of
the old ones. We look for some polit-
zeal changes by next presidential cleo
ton which a few years age would have
been considered almost impossible.

REPORTS
OF Cotton Ginned for the Year Up to
the First of the Mouth.

Washington, November S.-The cen
sus bureau issued a bulletin today
showing that up to November LIST, g.
4S3, $50 bales of cotton had been ginned
in this country. Round bales are
counted as half bales.
The figures are the result of tele-
graphic reports made by agents of the
censuS bureau from all the cotton
growing states. Owing TO the fact
that no report was made OF November
LIST, 1904, comparative statistics are
not available. The last previous report
for the previous year, showing results
to October 18th last, gave 1910, IDS
bales. The figures, according to to-
days bulletin for the various states are
as follows: Alabama S15,457; Arkan-
sas 211 ,113; Florida 4S,21S; Georgia

CUBA AND THE PLATT AMEND.
MENT.

The PLAT Amendment which the
independence bill, and which, it has
been claimed, was such a proviso as to
negative the absolute independence Of
the island, but to give our government
a hold on it to be used whenever ii
was seen fit to give the United States
authority for interfering in the affairs
OF the new republic, has been invoked
by the chairman Of the senate commit
tee OF foreign relations.
Under that amendment this govern
ment can assume supervisory jurisdic-
ton under certain conditions occurr-
ing on the island.
Senator Cullom claims that certain of
those conditions have arisen and he
has made complaint to President Rous-
evelt regarding them. He charges in
his complaint n a the Cuban govern
ment has not kept it's agreement re-
garding sanitary measures. He charges
that as a result OF this neglect and VIC
lation of the agreement to keep up san
itary conditions brought about by our
government during American occupa-
ton of the island and which existed
at the time of turning the government
over to the Cubans, an epidemic OF
yellow fever is threatened. Senator
Cullom states that in his opinion it is
the duty of the United States govern
Platt amendment against the action, or
rather. the lack of action, by the au
thorities of Cuba in this matter. He
says no sewers have been built since
the CuDans took control and that the
old practice Of allowing collection OF
filth in the cities has been returned to.
The conditions of the old regime under
Spanish rule are returning.
If these statements be true it is time
our government was interfering in the
interest of its W people. 1t cannor
afford to allow Cuba To again become Il
pesthole from which to spread this dis
ease to all of orr seaports. Even #
u government had no power or au.
thority under the Plat amendment to
interfere in this matter it should as
sumo such. 1t should not allow Cuba
TO become a menace to a large portion
of u country through her neglect to
preserve the sanitary conditions which
had BEEN brought about by the United
States at such great expense and labor

THE STATE FAIR
The Newspapers of the State Still
Knocking.

The Biblical Recorder, referring to
the outburst against the State fair.
says that 1.-The papers year by year
boost the fair before it takes place
and criticise it when it closes" We
ask the Recorder to except the Land
mark from the list of papers who boost
the fair at any time. This it has posi-
lively refused to do for years.

Here is another one that goes along
with the Landmark. The fact is we
