Negro Labor.

Editor OF The Times-D Dispatch:
Sir,-In the report of my remarks made
before the State Business League last
night, your reporter said. / used the fol-
lowing language
! 1.-THE white people nre saying that there
are no negro laborers that they can lay
hands on in the South or course not. be-
cause tho negroes arc becoming able to
hire servants themselves and arc staying
at home and seeing that their own domes-
tic affairs are carried out right by the
negro, servants they themselves en-
ploy."
II Is possible that he failed to follow me
as speak very rapidly, hence, without
nttrlbutlng a wrong motive to him, de-
sire to let the public know exactly what
did say. q
said, "The scarcity Of negro labor In
tho South is not duo alone to the I'M
reliability and shiftessness of our peo-
ple, nor yet entirely to their leaving the
farms for Northern cities. One main
reason for the scarcity Is to be found
in the fact that Il large number Of our
peopie are buying small farms for them
selves and hence are. not available. az
la borers on the farms"
Judging from the fairness of your paper.
nmesure you viii make this correction
Very truly yours. Ia
