BURTON ASKS DAMAGES.
Enters Suit Against Onanc,ck, Va
and Board Of Supervisors.

One of the oldest cases in the his

Gently when Samuel l.. Burton, a Ne.
gro of OnancOck, Va, entered suit for
100000 against the town of Onancock
and the board Of supervisors of Acco-
mac county in the United States court
at Norfolk, Va. for damages alleged
to have been done TO him in 1907.
Mr.. Burton asserts that his business,
amounting to $4,000 a year. was
broken up as result of riot which
occurred in Onancock on Aug. 10. 1907.
which caused him to flee for his life
He charges that the authorities OF
Onancock and Accomac county aided
In the riot and caused him to spend al.
most year in Jail before he was final.
ly acquitted of a charge of murder as
result Of his appeal to the superior
court OF Virginia from a sentence Of
ten years in the penitentiary
Another charge made by Mr.. Burton
Is that his place was burned by either
the defendants named or at their in
stance and that property valued at
$500 had been conhscated. He saws
he is still the victim of the conspiracy,
as he is restrained from returning TO
his home on account OF threats to do
him harm

THE PSYCHOLOGY OF LABOR.
Comparison Between Italian and Negro
laborers In the South.

A three years experiment in substi-
tuting Italian labor for Negro labor in
the cotton fields has come to naught in
Jefferson county, Ark, says the Pine
Bluff Daily Graphic. The reasons for
the failure seem to be psychologist
rather than strictly economic.
John NJ. Oracle. on whose plantation
the experiment was conducted. has
found that in actual labor efficiency
the Italian field hands show marked
superiority 10 the Negro, but that such
superiority is more than wiped out by
a lack Of tractability on the part of
the Italian labOrer and the difficulty
of holding him to contract obligation
To this subject there are undoubted-
ly two sides. The. experience of Ital-
ian laborers and colonists in the south
has not always been such as to Gu
courage the highest degree of trustful-
ness in the Italian immigrant In
some sections Of the south conditions
have reached a point where the Ital-
ian government has seen fit to dis
courage immigration altogether
But, whatever may be the rights and
wrongs of the situation, the fact stands
out clearly enough that no wholesale
eviction of the Negro by the Italian is
within the possibilities of the practi-
cal future The Negro will remain the
source and reservoir of the sOuth's la
bar supply.
