Immlurants Are Needed.

At the Knoxville meeting of cotton
spinners B. w. Hunt, a cotton min
manufacturer of Eatonton, Ca, stated
In his address that cotton manufac-
turing in the south will soon be
checked unless white immigrants can
be brought in and trained to handle
spindles and looms. The southern
cotton mills are the scenes of con-
slant scrambles on the part of mill
men to retain or secure operatives.
The labor supply is deficient and
every mill that is built renders the
situation worse.
Recruits cannot be drawn from the
ranks of negro workers. partly be-
cause good mill employees cannot be
found among them, and partly because
a mill force cannot be half white and
half black. 1t must be the one or the
other, because the color line is firmly
drawn by white operatives. The white
population has been drawn upon until
there are few needy whites who are
willing to accept mill wages and con-
ditions
Mr.. Hunt sees but one solution of
the labor problem in the southern
mills. White immigration is needful.
The thousands that are landed In New
York should be diverted to southern
mills. But. as Mr.. Hunt says. mere

that the deaths from hubonio plague in

In India from the plague alone was
$4,000. Tue number OF deaths re.
corded last week, while extraordinary.
Il not unprecedented.
The infection recently spread to Bur.
nah. where 1t is making rapid strides.
This season Of the year always favors
its spread. The Indian government is
making every effort to eradicate the
disease, destroying by burning whole
sections OF towns and segregatlng the
inhabitants, That owing to the ell.
mate aud the sanitary conditions OF
the outlying districts and native sec
tions of the towns IL Is dificult to
cope with the epidemic which breaks
out continually at fresh points. The
deaths are said to be 80 per cent Of
those infected. As a result OF the
plague the labor supply for the man
ufacturing centers has seriously depre-
ciated. So long has the plague exist

regard it callously.

Governor VardamRn of Mississippi
addressed a long, open letter to the

he starts out with the proposition that

fronted with q grave problem, taking
as his text the recent assault case
In Jackson. He says that what Oo.
CURED in the capital city is liable to
occur in any city OF town in the state
and he calls on the oficers OF the law
to enforce the vagrancy laws OF the
state. Among other things he says;

Law do their full duty in suppressing
the increasing criminal tendency Of
