Africans Attitude Toward Work.

The African male has peculiar ideas
OF his own dignity where work is con.
eerned. He will work for white man
,ut he will never do Anything for him
self If there are any women about. 1t
is beneath his dignity to werk. He will
fish and hunt, make nets and crude i'm
PIGMENTS and canoes, or pass away his
time smoking strong tobacco and doz-
Ing, but he would not think of lending
MS wife helping hand. He compels
her to cut down the trees for firewood
and for his dugout canoes, and when
they arrive at the spot in the forest or
jungle where he decides to build his
town the women must clear away the
tangled forest. To civilized minds tree
telling. wood carrying and jungle clear
ing are certainly laborious work for
women, but an African woman knows
nothing else, yet hers are much more
healthful tasks than the white WON
ans.

Unions Look Askance
At Industrial Meet
Martin Says Labor Men Should Be
Asked to Macon Conferences

If the Industrial Conference SEIZED
uled at Macon March 18th has for its
real purpose the achieving of Indus
trial Cooperation, representatives oil
the laboring classes should be invited
to confer with the representatives OF
capital, according to statement today
by w. M. Martin, chairman of the
joint federation committee of the
striking Atlanta Birmingham and At
lantic employees.
No industry can be operated with
out labor and no industry can achieve
the fullest measure of success without
the cooperation of labor" said Mr.
Martin. Labor is at all times ready
to treat fairly with capital if capital
will listen with an open mind and
organized labor. is free from thoughts
of violence or desire to work injury
unless forced to it by our se.f-styled
masters"
The industrial conference in Macon
is looked askance by local union men
generally. The invitation to Col. B.
L. Bugg, receiver for the A. B. & A
to address the meeting has led to q
belief that the purpose of the confer
ence is something different than to
discuss industrial Cooperation ir
the accepted sense of the term.
1t would be much to the best in
terests of the owners and OPERATOR
of Georgia industries if they would
try to reach sympathetic under
standing with the men whom they
employ" said Mr.. Martin, "and the
final rise of Georgia to a place o.
Industrial equality with other sections
would be much more rapid and more
sure if capital would cooperate with
labor instead of keeping up its contin
ual fight against it."

Where We Get plneappIes.

Singapore was formerly the chief
source Of the worlds supply of pine
apples. but our fresh fruits now come
mainly from the West Indies-espe-
cially from Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Bahamas-and our supply of canned
fruit from Hawaii. The first attempt
to grow the pineapple in the United
States was made at st. Augustine in
1850. Florida, however, can never
hope to compete with her more favored
rivals In this industry.

HARB1NGERs OF SPRING

HARBINGERS OF SPRING,
Say, they tell me spring coming, round the corner

But I'll believe she's comm only when the dogwood is

When that lazy feelin gets an the fish begin to

toms and the signs,
Makes no difrence I'll be huntin' up the poles and
hooks and lines
For it's comm, sure and certain an its almost now in
sight
