LOAF|NG NEGROES
WHO WILL NOT WORK
Farmers Hope the Proposed Coun-
Gil of Defence May Find Rem
edy for the Situation.

SDeciaI Correspondence OK Every Evening
NIiddletown, April 3.-There Is great
need OF a representative of the proposed
Council of Defence being detailed here,
In order TO stir up some of the worthless
Negroes. with whom the town seems TO
be filing up. During the past two weeks,
on almost any fair, warm day at least
dozen able-bodied Negroes could be
counted on the streets, loaflng about the
corners. while two pool rooms daily shelter
as many more There never was time
when their labor was more IN demand, and
never a time when they could command
as high wages rs at present. On almost
every farm in the entire community there
Is a shortage of men, at least 30 per cent
less labor than is actually needed. With
this shortage in the planting season, II Is
hard to see how the harvest viii be con-
Quoted. and the matter Is giving the
farmers great concern, and Is regarded as
a shameful condition, when there Is
enough labor for all If they would go to
work and keep at work.
One farmer, relating an experience
which happened here last week, told OF
sending to the town on Wednesday for
man TO help haul manure. Ten men
were interview ed, and not man OF them
would go to the tarm TO work, hotwlth-
standing the farmer offered them $3.50
per day and board. One impudent young
Negro, who had loafed all winter on his
father-ln-law, sent word ut to the
farmer that he ''would not get his feet full
of manure for s. so per day, for any
'' There are husky young Negroes
here who have said openly there IS no
law that would make them work, and the
doings of the Council of Defence will be
watched with interest here by number
of farmers, to learn if the lazy Negroes
cannot be compelled to work.
