Yet during tUs time mill after mill has been built in the South without the necessity of importing foreign labor, and with no difficulty found in secur ing native white labor as employees. Bearing in mind that these mills have no earthly power to force people to work for them, it follows that their employees have come to them volun tarily and in order to better their eco nomic condition. It is common knowledge that South ern textile labor is recruited from the charged, textile wages are low, it must follow that the returns to the Southern agriculturalist are still low- er. Considering the matter then in its broader economic aspect, the critics of Southern mi^ conditions should not be exerting all their efforts towards cre ating a still further disparity between industrial and farm labor, but rather should be endeavoring to correct the trouble at its source. If thc^ economic problems of the Southern agricultur alists are settled, then any ills which may exist in the cotton mills will au tomatically correct themselves In the criticisms of SoutkM>. tex tile wages, frequent referenci? a'-e made to higher textile wages in New' England. This disparity is not as great as is usually indicated, because of the extremely low house rent of Southern mills, usually with water and lights given free and coal sold to the em- ing into consideration these per quisites, there is nothing like the dis parity between textile wages in New England and the South as there is between agricultural wages in New England and the South. In *'Crops and Markets’* of the De partment of Agriculture for July farm wages in the states from Maine down through Pennsylvania averaged $3.57 -goal- crown BLOCK AND EGG per day. while in the states of North and South Carolina, GeorgU, Tennes see, and Alabama, farm wages aver- ag<^ only $1.45 per day.

Quality Service Ahy The past week has seen a transformation in these grocery stores. New fronts, new stocks, new lew prices, improved deMvery service, all the res ults cf the independent grocer joining the great nation-wide Quality Service group of stores. This is an announcement of stupendous importance to the housewife who is tired of shopping from store .to store trying to snatch at penny savings; tired cf being the delivery boy of stores who refuse to deliver their purchases. The Quality Service Stores go the Cash and Carry Storefi two better. They deliver to your kitch en, and if worthy, they trust you until next pay-day. There are many people who prefer to pay cash.
