Stankard two and three years ago
at Worcester gained a reputation as
a strong hitter, and at Holy Cross his
average ran close to 400. In fact, he
proved such a sensation at the bat that
Pittsburg firted with him. and he was
soon induced to reciprocate the feeling.
He played Tor time with Pittsburg two
years ago. after graduating from Holy

latter used him at second base, a posi-
tion that some think he can play better

When the management OF the Inter

encouragement they were at loss to
understand Standards action. and they
still expressed the belief that he might
be wearing the Intercity uniform when
the Northern league opens. They would
very much like to see him come back,

THE LABOR PROBLEM M LEE.

5, In well worded editorial the Atlanta
Constitution notes the scarcity bf negro
farm labor i'll North Carolina, and, discus
sing the matter at length, attributes the
state Of affairs TO the existence of The ne
gro acknowledgements laws III that state.
AS the Constitution has such remarkable
insight into affairs Of this kind The. Jour
nal would be- glad for il to explain the
cause OF labor conditions in Lee. Here
we have state Of affairs closely bordering
onto negro 81 hvery. When a farmer or
other employer q negro labor wants 10
hue one he sibply, has to go and buy him
from some other Employer. HE merely
has to fork OVER amount of some delt
of old standing ranging from ten TO one
hundred dollars, advance him supplies for
Sthe year, and do a hundred other little
things and he has his man for another
year, Rven after all these disadvantages
farm labor is scarce and many acres of the
best kind OF land will liesout this year for
the want Of some one tolcud it. .As vet
Ne h've no amendment in Georgia disfrau-
CHI ing the negro voter yet these condi-
tions exist. We putthe question up to
the Constitution: n conditions exist in
Lee similar TO those in North Carolina
and negro Acknowledgement is responsible
in North Carolina, what if you please, is
responsible iii Lee county where there is
no negro disfranchSemept?
