WORK FOR EVERYONE
Southern Railroads Need LabOrers
While Idlers ThrOng the Streets
of the Cities

Jacksonville, Oct. 9.-The railroads
Of the country are keenly feeling the
shortage of labor. according to c. H.
Hix, vice president and general man
|ager of the Seaboard Air Line Rail-
way. The Seaboard, Mr.. Hix says, is
forced to send to New York for Rus
sian laborers on the bulk OF its con-
struction work in the Carolinas. If
any big plans are undertaken in Flor
ida it will be necessary to import for
eigners to handle it If it is to be done
without delay and Inconvenience.
Mr. Hix declares that South Carolina
has been suffering keenly for want OF
labor in cotton fields and around in
dustrial settlements. The authorities
there have begun a systematic cam
paign against vagrants. and are in
this way relieving the situation to
some extent. Police officials have
been instructed to see that all negroes
have employment for six days each
week, unless a good excuse Is offered.
This shortage of labor is becoming
a very serious problem in the south
eastern states, says Mr.. Hix. Unless
relieved it promises to hamper the de-
lvelopment of the country. II am told. -
continued Mr.. Hix. that there are
many idle negroes about the towns and
cities. If these We're forced to seek
| legitimate and steady employment it
would relieve the situation considera-
/ bly,. In South Carolina and Georgia
| the farmers are forced to depend very
| largely on the labor of women and
| children to pick their cotton. They
are paying prices for the work that
have not been equalled since the war

WAR UPON VAGRANCY
Jacksonville Business Men Lead the
Crusade that May Drive All
the Idlers to Work

Jacksonville, Oct. 9.-Aroused to ac-
tion by reports of shortage of labor
Throughout the state, the Jacksonville
Board of Trade has instructed a spe-
eial committee to take up campaign
for rigid enforcement of the vag-
rancy law in Jacksonville, where there
are said to be several thousand idle
negro men and grown boys.
The committee, of which John G.
McGiffin, prominent shipping man,
is chairman, will hold a meeting
within the next few days and consider
means of cooperating with the munip-
ipa1 authorities in driving out the
vagrants. Jacksonville. like all Flor
ida towns and communities. has been
feeling the acute shortage OF labor
very keenly Many Of it's Industries
have been hampered.
Citizens believe that If a rigid cam
paign is made for the enforcement of
the laws, idle negroes will be COM
PEELED to seek permanent employment
Many want the officers to go so far
as to make those accused of being
idlers show that they are employed for
six days a week. 1t is common
dodge for chronic idlers to work a DAY
or two at some insignificant employ
ment merely to evade the designation
as a vagrant.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf

this tube is infiamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, deaf
ness is the result, and unless the In
fiammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
