SOUTHERN NEGRO
WANTED At HOME
SAY EMPLOYERS
Work, Improved Living Con-
ditions, Wait Him When He
Comes, Business Men Say.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Aug. 19.-Plenty
of farm and mill work, better wages
than ever before paid and improved
living conditions await southern ne
groes who have gone to the north
and who now are said to be clamoring
to return to the south, according to
employers here.
Southern farmers and plantation
owners want the southern negroes
back. II there were some method Of
getting in touch with them 1t is de-
clared the expense of their return to
Dixie would be willingly borne. This
will hold especially true for the next
few weeks, because there is need of
negroes who know how to take care
of the cotton crop.
Don't Want Northerners
But these employers say they do not
groes. They would prefer to bring in
foreign labor, they assert.
I'VE would not hesitate to pay the
expenses of hundred or more negroes
from Chicago or other northern cities
to our place If we can get southern
negroes, particularly negroes who
have gone from Mississippi, Arkansas
and Tennessee" said A. C. LANCE, vice
PRECEDENT and general manager of the
Chicago Mill & Lumber company,
which owns more than 10000 acres of
timber and agricultural lands in north
eastern Arkansas.
II think 1t is safe to say that every
southern negro in the north would be
brought back without expenses to him
If southern farmers and plantation
owenrs knew where and how to get
in touch with the southern born. We
don't want and will not have, northern
negroes"
The question Of how to get in touch
with negroes who have gone north
was discussed at the Memphis meet
ing of the Southern Alluvial Land
Association several days ago and the
subject will be a special order of bust
ness at the next meeting.
The association Is an organization
of bankers, land owners, chambers of
rcomerce, planters and lumbermen of
the lower Mississippi formed to serve,
in measure, the same purpose for
the delta country as the chamber of
commerce serves the town or city.
At the last meeting it was said that
there is great need for more labor
in the lower Mississippi Valley and
especially for negro labor acquainted
with southern agricultural methods
and with cotton growing and hand
ling

there is one form of indoor sport more
popular. checkers. At the recently
inaugurated checker tournament there
were "a aspirants for the title of cham
pion, while the combined number of
pool and ping-pong aspirants only
equalled 60.
In the ping-pong tournament, games
are running along smoothly, and the
last of this week ought to see the
finish of the tournament. Only one
set to a contest is played, and conse-
quently 1t doesn't take long to play a
match. Up to date 16 boys have been
eliminated, which leaves 16 more to
play. The pool tournament is not
moving quite as rapidly as the ping
pong tournament, as it requires more
time to play pool, but the pool belt
is expected to be conferred as soon as
the ping championship.
Boxing is also popular with the boys
No bouts are permitted, however, ex-
cept when Crabb is there to watch

boxes did what the other remedies had
failed to do. They removed the lame

high in my estimation today as they
were when I gave them my first recon-
