LABOR VERY SCARCE.
Variety Of Other Work Has
Taken Negro From Farm.

kEYsV1LLD, VA:, March 1.-There
has been much complaint all over the
country concerning the great scarcity Of
labor. Charlotte county particularly, has
suffered much on this account. This
scarcity Of labor has been explained In
different ways. One is that the railroads
and coal fields and public works are able
to pay SO much moro than the farmer,
SO nearly all the young and able-bodied
negroes abandon the farms. Another is
that the wages paid now are very much
better than they were in former years.
and as the average negro must have 50
much money each week, and II he can
get 1t by working three Or four days
4 in the week, he is sure to loaf around
for the rest Of the week.
