When we consider the infinitely bet
ter showing made by the Italians as
compared with the showing of the ne
gro field hands it is not surprising that
the planters of the South should use
all the means in their power to secure
Italians to work the crops. because
this kind of labor is no longer an eX-
pertinent The Italian as a labOrer in
the cotton field has proved himself to
be the superior of the negro in every
respect. because the negro will neither
work regularly nor work to his full
capacity The Italian labOrer has also
proved to be more trustworthy. more
efficient and more reliable. He pro-
duceS more from the same amount of
ground than the negro will produce, as
Col. Stones figures clearly demon
strate. Therefore, we are not SurpriS-
ed to hear that the planters of Missis-
sippi and other Southern States have
agents in New York who are employ
ing able-bOdied emigrants. whole
families of them. as soon as they land
from the ship and providing them
with railroad transportation to the
planta tons where their labor is so
much in demand and has proved so
satisfactory.
The good results following the en-
ployment of Italians in the cotton
fields of Mississippi have been made
known elsewhere. and now Georgia.
Alabama and South Carolina are
active bidders for Italian immigration
and so is Texas. The Houston Post
declares that negro labor no longer
being reliable the farmers have al
most entirely ceased to employ negro
labor. and adds. "In Texas three
fOurths of the cotton is already pro-
duced by white labor and white agri-
cultural labor is becoming more and
more i'm demand i'm other sections of
the South.
The movement has gone far enough
to show quite clearly that even i'm the
cotton fields the negroes are unable
to hold their own with Italian labor,
I'm spite of the fact that the latter is
new to the soil and new to the pursuit
i'm which it is engaged. 1t is inevitable
that with the immigration of white
labor into the South the negro, in the
course of a few years will find himself
driven from the occupations he once
mOnOpOlized The responsibility for
such a condition he must lay at the
door of his own Incidence and thrift
lessness His refusal to work when he
should have worked. with the result
that the tarded by the lack of an eff
cient labor supply. is likely to make
his future one of hardship and uncer-
tainty. Once convinced that it could
no longer look to the negroes to sup
DIV the labor needed, the South was
compelled to seek labor elsewhere,
and now that it is being obtained,
some persons are asking: "What is
to become of the negrOT But the
South is too busy to bother with the
theorist and the sentimentalists 20
consider i'm their own peculiar way.
The South was patient with the negro
for many years. but it has at last
learned that Self-intereSt and not Sentl-
ment must control the selection of
labor as it does everywhere else in the
world

italian Labor in the South.

What shall we do for laborers?
This is an important question, not only
in the cotton belt, but also in the
trucking sections of Florida. Italians
are being tried in the cotton regions,
whether they would do as well for us

Has a Rejuvenating Effect

Rehabilitation has meant rejuvena-
tion in many cases, though, and many
a man-and woman. TOBIAS found
that old age can be shaken off so easily
in time of peril or hardship that it re-
quires but little mental effort to rid
ones self of it for all time. Men need
amusement, too, and so many other
things are gone that they are driven
in self-defense to dancing to drive
away ennui or boredom.
number of dinners were given be-
fore the dance notably by Mr. and Mrs.
J. Downey Harvey in honor of Mr.. and
Mrs Walter Martin; by Mr. and Mrs.
Silas Farmer; by Mr.. and Mrs M. II. de
Young for Miss Anita Harvey and
Oscar Cooper; by DR.. and Mrs Keeney
for their debutante daughter. Miss
Mary Keeney, and by Miss Genevieve
King.
One of the most striking gowns was
that worn by Mrs Will Taylor, whose
appearance was strongly reminiscent
of Mrs. Peter Martin, her slender
height being accentuated by a prin-
cesse gown of white. elaborately en-
broidered in gold spangles, which was
most becoming and effective, and in
her hair she wore wreath of golden
leaves, and her jewels were diamonds
and pearls, including a handsome col
lar of the former

daughter, Miss Mary Keeney, who was
one of the bellies of the evening and
who was gowned in q dainty girlish
costume of white liberty satin, trimmed
with quantities of rose point lace: Miss
Maizie Langhorne, who was most at
tractive in a gown of cream colored
lace over pink silk and trimmed with
folds of rose pink velvet. and Miss
Margaret Hyde Smith, vivacious and
charming as usual, in an empire gown
of white embroidered net over white
messaline, trimmed with ruches and
ruffling of the net.
Mrs. Harry Mendell was handsome in
white lace over white silk, adorned
with bands of turquoise blue velvet.
Miss Gertrude Josselyn, who came with
the Misses Wilson, was daintily pretty
in pale blue embroidered net, made
over silk of a little deeper hue, and
trimmed with knots of pale blue rib
bon, the costume being most becoming
to her red-gold hair. Miss Emily Will
son and Miss Charlotte Wilson, who
are appearing in society for the first
time after season or two of mourn
ing, looked remarkably well in gowns
almost alike of lavender messaline,
trimmed elaborately with white lace

Orchids Denote Prosperity

One noticeable feature Of the evening
was the number of orchids worn.
Nearly every fair guest had corsage
bouquet Of clusters of the mauve or
purple blossoms, and this went far to
refute tie reports of San Francisco's s
lack of prosperity. The music was
quite up to the usual standard of the
Greenway dances, and it is well known
that they are blessed with melodies of
a quality to set any foot to tapping
the measure. Several of the best num-
bers were brought to Mr. Greenway
from Paris by ]. W. Byrne. who has
recently returned from Europe and who
brought the latest successes with him.
There were any number of smart
gowns. and it has been said by those
who are fit to speak with authority
that there has never been a better
dressed assemblage Of women than on
this occasion. There was a question
as to whether jewels should be worn,
whether il would be wise in the pres
ent unsettled condition of the city, but
apparently every woman who possessed
any gems took the risk. the result be-
ing that the display of pearls, diamonds
and other precious stones was quite up
to the standard set in the most -rfl-
liant of former local society functions.

Mrs Fred McNears gown was of

advantage in a gown of white liberty

Mrs. James Potter Langhorne was
charming in a gown of black spangled

PARKERsBURG, July 1s.-state
Tax Commissioner Dillon issued a
circular letter, recently, copies OF
which were forwarded to the officials
of the various counties. calling at
tentioa to the fact that the number
of licenses returned from the various
counties had fallen far short of last
year, and inttmated that perhaps per-
sons were violating the faW by oper-
ating their places without a license
and also intimated that the matter
would probably be Investigated and
the parties proceeded against.
A few days afterwards an assistant
tax commissioner slipped quietly into
Parkersburg and made quiet trip
around town. and then went over the
list of those who had taken out IL
censes.
Wednesday Mr.. Darst made another
trip to the city and on this occasion
he visited the Office OF Magistrate
Thomas and swore out several war
rants, one of which was against Pc
ter Canello- who is charged with oper-
ating a billiard and pool table at his
place of business on Market street
and Seventh without the necessity

Another warrant was sworn out by
Mr.. Darst against John ]. Kahn, s. L..
Miller, and w. H. Tierney. for oper-
ating bowling alley ct their place
of business on Third street, without
the necessary licenses,
These warrants were placed In the
hands of Constable Jack Helmick
who served them on wednesday after
noon, and the ca ses were set down for
this afternoon at o'clock before
Squire Thomas.
1t Is said that warrants will be
sworn out for other parties who have,
1T is alleged, been operating without
a license, and who have neither taken
out a city or state license.
John j. Kahn states that he made
application to council on May LIST for
n license. but that it was referred TO
a committee, who told him to go a
head with the alley. The matter has
been hung up in the committee ever
since. and consequently he could not
get state license.
