 It was reported today that the note to Little contained a statement to the effect that Little had apparently wronged the man at some time and said:
 You have torn my heart out have had a pistol in your face twice but my heart failed me. I am talk ing this way of getting even."
 Little said he had never harmed anyone and never had an enemy so far as he knew. The note was print ed on six pages of paper, believed to be hotel stationery from which the heading had been cut. It is believed the writer printed his words for fear Little would recognize the writing.

THE NEGRO WORKER

Southern farmers, in the mass, have not yet
realized the size of the bill that ignorant and shift
less labor yearly forces them to pay. They take
it as they find it, regarding it as a tool, shaped
and finished, however poor. 1t should be regard
ed as a force, capable of new developments and ap-
Dlications. North or South, the industrial lead
efs of the country are more and more thinking of
their employees in human rather than racial terms,
Slav, Italian or Negro, owner and worker must
prosper together. AS a race, when let alone, the
Negro is loyal to his employer; but like other ig-
norant folk, he is credulous, easily deceived, and
susceptible of being led. With proper leadership
he can be relied on to go far; how far, only fut-
ure centuries can show. The ignorant Negro
leader, on the other hand, is a dangerous person,
because his very ignorance makes him and his
followers tools. This fact has been clearly de-
monstrated in the last few years, and the con-
trast is marked between those sections where I'M
educated leaders are men who have received col.
Flege training. Not only do the business men OF
