FIGHTING THE vAeRANT.
Southern States Facing Serious Labor
Proposition.

ItOPOSibtCtts
Jacksonville, Fla, Sept 30. = The
opening of the cotton season and the
fall revival in other lines of indus
try have brought the states of Florida
and Georgia to the realization tlat
theymust face the grayest lab u fam.
inc in history.
The farmers in the northern part
of Florida and in Georgia are Offering
higher prices for pickers than they
have paid since the war, and yet they
are unable to get much more than 60
or rs per cent, If that much. of the
help they actually require to save
tehir staple. The production of lum-
Der and turpentine, two industries
which pay good wages the year around
has been cut down fully 25 per cent.
each because OF lack OF labor. The
prospects are that these lines will be
still further crippled by the draft
the cotton fields will make on their
negro laborers- and this in the face
of the best lumber demand since 1907
and with a magnificent outlook con-
fronting the naval stores men.
F. r. Neill, a big planter of States
boro, quoted in Sayannah few day
ago, declared that he does not re-
member to have seen worse labor
conditions The crop Is suffering
seriously" he said, "as the result Of
the inability of the farmers to get
pickers. Cotton that should have been
picked two weeks ago is falling out
of the bolls. A little wind and rain
storm will ruin this cotton, and cost
the farmers many thousands of dol
lars"
At Augusta, Ca, the situation be-
came so serious a. few days ago that
the city was called upon to lend It's
convicts to assist In handling cotton
from warehouses to the congresses.
The unusual spectacle of striped la
borers on cotton row. has forcibly
directed the attention Of the city au-
thorities to the necessity for prompt
and vigorous campaign against the
vagrants Of the city. There were many
idle negro men and boys about the
city who refused to work at any
price, and these are being gathered in
by the police when they are found not
to have obtained employment.
Industrial men in Florida declare
that the vigorous measures being EN-.
ployed at Augusta would go far to-
ward solving the labor situation In
this state and southern Georgia, IT
has been stated that there are from
1000 to 1000 idle negro men anc
boys large enough to do the work Of
men in Jacksonville and its enyirons,
The same proportion ofidleness pre-
walls among the negroes of other cl-
ties and towns throughout the state.
Men who know declare that there
are two places for every Idie negro
III the state Of Florida. Several plans
for arousing the officers Of the large
and small places to the necessity for
vigorous campaigns against vagrancy
have been discussed.
