BIG DEMAND FOR LABOR TO
 GATHER HEAVY CROPS
R. R. FARES REBATED 2
BY WALTER HARPER

Washington, October 9.-(Special )-Re- ports from Alabama as well as all other sections of the cotton belt indicate per sistent demand for farm labor to gather the large crops of cotton and corn.
 As a result of the cotton worm in Ala bama the stalk has been stripped of fol- iago and the bols being exposed to the warm sun have opened rapidly. It seems that practically the entire crop was open and ready to gather at once.
 The labor problem is a most serious one and one that will continue to grow more and more serious until the lands of Ala bama are taken up by individual white farmers who can take care of their own crops. Statistics gathered by the govern- ment departments show that the negroes are leaving the farms. They are going to the cities, the mines and the factories Many of them are focking to northern and western states.
 The southern planter does not have to be told this. Neither does he have to be told that the negro laborer who remains on the farm is irresponsible and unsatis- factory. He will work only when he feels like it or immediate necessity drives him. This does not refer to the exceptional negro farmer who has acquired his own individual acres and many negro ten ants Who have proven themselves to be thrifty and industrious. But this class are working out their own destiny side bv side with the white farmer with his individual operation.

One of the smaller clubs to hold meet ings semi-monthly this winter will be the Thursday Evening Card club, which is to be composed of F members of the younger society set. The little coterle is not fully organized, and the member ship is not fully completed. but it prom ises much pleasure and profit, too, as it's purpose is for practice. The first meeting was held last week with Miss Annie Blinn. Miss Elizabeth Bowie was the hostess last night. A series of pleas ant games was followed, as is to be the custom, by a dainty supper and simple prize, in this instance a pack of cards, was awarded.
 Those who took part in the games last night were Miss Bowie, Miss Cary John- son, Miss Annie Blinn, Miss Edith Thompson, Miss Alice Bowie, MT. Charles IIeidt, MT. Maurice Henderson, MT Clem- ont Wood, MT. John Marks and MT. Mel vile Davis.

This class of negro deserves credit for his good work and cannot be classed with the negro who depends upon day labor for support either on the farm or in the city.
 The census of 1900 disclosed the fact that negro labor is leaving the farm and migrating to town and city, to the rail- road, to the mines and to other public works. The negro is still a necessity to southern agriculture, but he is rapidly pielding his place to white labor. One of the old arguments in favor of slavery was that the white man could not work in the field under the hot southern sun, and it is still a common belief in the north that southern farm labor is performed almost exclusively by negroes. This, however, is not the fact
 More than half the cotton crop is raised by white labor; in Texas three-fourths or more. In the sugar and rice field white labor is common and in some places all but exclusive.
 There will always be necessity for day labor in the harvest season in the south, just as labor is needed to gather the wheat crops of the west, but the devei- opment of the farm lands by small indi- vidual farmers offers the best solution to the labor problem. This condition is rapidly being brought about in the south and will be of great advantage in many ways.
 Washington could spare 10,000 cotton pickers and they would never be missed, but free transportation to the cotton fields would not get them. Several thou sand might go for the joy ride, but they would be worthless after they reached the fields.

Pretty Miss Blanche Deyo raised a de- Lucrative finger to beauty spotted pink chin and smiled ingenously-all soft and lovely in the prettiest of rose silk ki- monas yesterday when I saw her in her boudoir-and then she came out with characteristic honesty and told me the whole truth.
 "Where did l learn to dance?' she re- peated my question. T never did learn. Somehow I just-well-- I just always knew. My dancing is-would you say home madeS I sort of made it up my self, by my own recipe"
 You'd have thought she was talking about blackberry jam or apple butter.
 Haven't you ever taken lessons. You must have, even if it happened to Ge only in a Correspondence School?" sug- gested.
 "Oh, of course went to dancing school years ago. when l was a little bitty, way cut in California. You know, I am na- tive of that state.''
 "A California Peach," I suggested.
 ''Very kind" said Miss Deyo. tossing her pretty head back and showing the most duOTdDle Nil1tt lliudl, anu SllilliiS the sweetest of smiles.
 You can scarcely understand if you haven't seen Miss Deyo, with her big sparkling eyes soft as "Yama- Yama' sounds, just what she means by all this.
 But you will understand, if you drop in at the Jefferson any evening this week and see her delicious fooling in "The Echo."
 Dance? Why, certainly she dances, but you don't realize at the time that it IS stage dancing. It all seems so far re- moved from things theatrical and stuied.
 She does a lacey little "Waitress'' turn with MT. Franker Woods, and gaily pirou- cites her way through a summer hotel menu, making of any order a cheerful experience.
 Then she does Quaker affair and later an Hungarian Terpsicorean Rhapsody, a cunning little ''Hobble" ar rangement-but what's the use?
 You can't catalog Woodlands Birds Song, no more can Miss Blanche Deyo's dancing and fitting and singing be tick eted or labeled.
 She's Mendelssohn's Spring Song in pet ticoats-so there you arei
 'I learned the Hungarian number in Budapest, and did it abroad with great success" said the star presently as our conversation eddied back to dancing, as it naturally would when talking with Miss Deyo. Really, l just dance to ev- erything Don't you remember when sang and danced Sammy here?. Oh, well. any way it was several years ago? I wore little red and white striped satin suit and''-
 Looked like a perfectly good stick of Peppermint candy" l interrupted. "Of course, I remember. That's why I'm here now, talking to you about dancing. can never forget your clever Sammy"
 "Well, its always been dancing and singing with me-" she said smiling back.
