AGENT8 ARE CREATING TROUBLE
IN SOME COUNTIES.
Planters Forming Organizations to
Check Their Activities—Plenty of
Work For Everybody At Fairly
Good Wages.
Labor agents are creating their an
nual trouble in Mississippi, and the
planters are up in arms over the at
tempts being made to entice negroes
to other states, or to different sections
of this state.
In some of the counties protective
associations are being formed among
the planters, the main purpose being
to keep each other informed on the
maneuvers of labor agents, and In
some Instances these organizations
have arranged to employ counsel for
the prosecution oF agents who are
caught in attempts to entice labor.
As a rule, however, the average
planter would prefer to deal person
ally with the labor agent and he gen
erally deals with the offender In a
very vigorous manner.
The demand for labor is very active
for this season of the year. One em
ployment agency in Jackson is adver
tising for 350 common laborers for
railroad construction work, and offer
ing exceptionally good wages. The
resumption of work on the New Or
leans & Great Northern from New
Orleans to Jackson has given employ
ment to several hundred negroes who
went direct from the cotton fields to
the construction camps. Resumption
of work on the Aberdeen & Tombigbee i
Valley road is promised for the near
future, and labor gangs will probably
be organized during the next thirty i
days. The Cumberland Telegraph & !
Telephone Company is giving employ
ment to a large number of laborers in
the construction of Its new long dis
tance lines, and several logging roads
in the plne.v woods belt are extending
their lines, creating a lively demand
for labor, while the steady resumption
of work among the lumber manufact
uring plauis has added to the demand,
which is now being furnished from
the farms as the cotton picking season
draws to a close In the various coun- '
ties.

Briefly summed up the present situ
ation warrants the belief that there
will be plenty of work for all classes
of labor in Mississippi during the next
few months. The oil mills will hardly
finish the crushing season until at
least three months hence, and they are
giving steady employment to several
thousand men. While wages are not
so high as eighteen months ago. there
have been no sweeping reductions of
a nature to cause discontent. The only
unfavorable phase of the situation is
the closing down of work in the Illi
nois Central and Y. & M. V. shops at
Water Valley, Vicksburg and McComb
City, which threw 450 skilled mechan
ics out of employment, and no state
ment has been made by the corpora
tion as to when work will be re
sumed.

Good Cough Mediojne for Children.
The season for coughs and colds is
now st hand and too much care can
not be used to protect the children.
A. child is much more likely to oou
'rnct diphtheria or scarlet fever when
he has a cold. The quicker you cure
his cold the less the risk. Chamber
lains Cough Remedy is the sole re
liance of many mothers, and few of
those who have tried it are willing to
me any other. Mrs. F. F. Starcher.
of Ripley, W. Va., says: "I have
never used anything other than Cham
berlain's Couth Remedy for my chil
dren and it has always given good
satisfaction." This remedy contains
no opium or oilier narcotic and may
be given as confidently to a child as
o an adult. For sale by Hays &
Field and Yellow Pine Pharmacy.
