NEGRO EXODUS


of the southern country at the emil
grafton of negroes from Dixie into
northern sections of the United
States. This is not the first time this
has taken place. The great mass OF
colored people, however, generally
return to their native heaths, Only
a few taking up permanent abodes
in the new sections.
While southern people may be Tor
q short time Inconvenience by the
lack of help. the members of the Afr
can race are apt to do themselves
more harm than good in their perl
odical migrations. They are liable to
return to find white people perform
ing duties of which they now have
practically a monopoly.
1t is noticeable that but few
negroes are found in hotels and OF
her public places i'll the north.
Forty or more years ago many Ne"
York cafes employed negroes as
walters; they are not seen as often
in such places now. The Pennsyl-
vania Railroad :, Company utilized
them in the cafe at Jersey City at
1 one time. They soon gave way to
whites.
Travellers in Europe seldom see a
negro. Every attache of hotels, cafes,
railroads, and other public places is
of the white race. 1t was suggested
manx years ago that the time was
e0atiili. when the people Of the south
will realize that negro help" is not
Indispensable. 1919
The. negro is understood in the
s3a while in the north he is held
ecGs9 responsible with whites. In
ouI Southern country there is more
consideration shown him by the we'll
disposed than is manifest north OF
Mason and Dixon's line.
There is a story, ancient with
many of our older people, but prob
ably new to the larger portion of the
present generation, Of a Southern
negro who became stranded in the
north, far away from home and
friends. The pangs Of starvation
forced. him to knock at the door Of
a house and beg something to eat.
The man of the house, an abolition
list ex amino, after hearing tho
negro's story. began to preach to
MIN on the sin of improvidence. The
gnawing in the Negroes stomach be-
came more acute, and he said,
9Tell me- if you are going to give me
anything, or let me CO." The house,
keeper let him go. He knocked
another door, but met with no fs.s,
reception. This individual
ed many questions to tta
negro, and finally told ii3i Il s.
was away on visit and hi
compelled to take dinner att,
rant, as there was nothing 20 &C in
the house. He shut the door In the
hungry mans face. The negro by
this time had become greatly despon-
dent, but he determined to make one
more effort to obtain something to
appeaSe his hunger, and arriving in
front of fine residence he pulled
the door bell. The proprietor was
southern man who had taken up his
residence in. the north. Before the
negro had spun half his story the
man interrupted him, thus: you
black rascal, why did you come to
the front door? Go round to the
kitchen and tell them to give you as
much as you can eat"
The darkey involuntarily exclaim-
ed, Thank God, I've found man at
last who understands the negro"

RECRUITING PLAN FAILS.
The Earl of Derby Admits 1t Has Not
Worked Out Well

London, March 3-Keen disappoint-
ment as to the results of recruiting UNI
der the voluntary scheme proposed by
him was expressed in the House of
Lords yesterday by the Earl of Derby,
former chief of the recruiting service.
The earl laid the chief blame for the
failure to achieve the full results he had
aimed at to the easy exemptions to single
men, belonging especially to the starred
trades linen required for work on neces
stiles required by the government and
agriculturists. He made an emphatic
plea to the government to prevent bach
elors of military age from eyading mill
tary service by transferring themselves
to starred occupations apd declared that
strong effort was necessary to obtain
requisite number of fighting men,
without whom the empire might fall.
Agriculturists, the Earl of Derby said,
were the principal class to avail them
selves of exemption, under the plea that
they were indispensable for the produc-
ton of foodstuffs, and that such exemp-
ton should be watched. Baron Harris,
who has large farm interests, expressed
the opinion that no single man was
on a farm.
No figures as to the result of the re-
cruiting campaign Were given, but it was
that 100000 married men had
attested under the Earl of Derby's
scheme since the beginning of the year
The government promises. to revise the
list of reserved trades with view to re-
leasing more men for the army.

ida Citrus Juice and Syrup Company
will locate here and build a half-mil-
lion-dollar plant.
This concern will take care of a

that the product of the groves in the
state will be certain revenue. H.

1t is stated that one of the main rea-
sons for the removal of the first fac
tory from Lakeland is the matter of
freight shipments. Col H. l.. Ander-
son, who is well known member of
the local bar association, represents
the new concern.
In the general exhibit of what the
concern intends to do, it is shown that
all sorts of Florida fruit juices can,
under the new process, be put up in
proper shape and shipped to the cor
ners of the earth" The lack of fer
mentation will be feature of the
product. Grape juice, orange juice,
grapefruit juice and various other ar
ticles will be put up here. The pro.
cess has been to some extent used in
the factory in operation at Lakeland,
but those who have the secrets OF
manufacture have decided that Jack
sonville is the proper place for the
factory.
1 Col. Anderson yesterday stated that
in his practice as an attorney, he has
often seen places along the railways
where the best fruit is going to waste.
The overripe product, sent here in a
few hours haul by freight or express,
could be utilized and made into a
marketable product while if the same
was dispatched to the Northern mark
