Of Mississippi is good worker when he
wishes to be, but only the spur Of necessity
seems to make him take a Job.

problem babe fair few years ago to be
serious. When, however. white immigrants
began to appear the aspect changed. The
newcomers were. mostly Danes and 1tal-

very soon, 1t is alleged. had the negro on
the run-running for job. The black mar
found that the work no longer sought him,
but that he had to look for 1t himself. IN
three places along the line of the road that

Now the Gulf and Ship Island railroad
has started its new colony in part OF the
