The Labor System--And the
- Nesro Generally.
One would h-.ve thought that in
sixteen years the labor of the coun
try would have developed itself into
some system; that there would
have been some certainty and uni
formity; that the questioa of sup
ply and demand, wages, shares,
rents, &c., would have regulated
themselves. But nothing of the
kind has taken place. There is just
as much higgling and bargaining
between hirer and hired in 1881 as
in 1865.; the terms for "wages
hands", "9crppers" and "renters"
are just as unsettled. Labor is
unsettled because the laborer him
self is unsettled. The negro is of
a nomadic disposition; he likes to
change about from one place to an
other; no matter how well treated
he prefers to change ; if he works
for A one year he prefers to work
the next year for B-not from an y
expectation of bettering his condi
tion, but from a natural disposition
to change. For this reason the be
ginning of every year is a time of
trouble and vexation to the farmer
in looking out for "hands", and he
is in a miserable state of uncertain
ty as to whether he will be able to
run his farm for the year. As for
the laborer himself he seems to be
perfectly satisfied at the end of the
year and it doesn't appear to make
any difference with him whether he
has anything to show for his labor
or not. His idea of living does not
extend very far into the future ; the
idea of saving and laying up "some
thing for a rainy day", seldom en
ters his mini c he takes the.injunc
tion, "Take no thought for the
morrow" in its most literal sense.
He is naturally improvident and
extravagant, as every farmer knows.
Give him full rein ; furnish him
money whenever he wants it, and
he will spendithe last cent :of his
wages before the year is half gone.
It is then that he becomes dissatis
fiei anotrbesome. Having
spent his year's wages, or share, he
feels that he has n'o further interest
in the crop and is ready to abandon
it on any sort of pretext. The
Legislaturelhas foundit necessary
to pass stringent laws to prevent
this-laws tolpanish both the la
borer who breaks the contract and
the person who hires him. But
these laws cannot remedy the evil;
for a dissatisfied laborer is neither
a desirable nor valuable person to
have about a farm. The remedy
for the evil is for the farmers to
encourage economy in their hands
by withholding, as far as practica
ble, tha wages.tillithe end of the
year, and to keep them, if possible,
from going into-debt.
The above remarks apply gene
rally, but there are, of course, ex
ceptions. While the great mass of
the colored people are no better off
than when first emancipated there
are some who by diligence and sav
ing have accumulated considerable
means. These exceptions prove
one thing very clearly, viz.: that
the fact that the negro has not im
proved his financial condition is
owing to his own improvidence and
hack of thrift ; they show that he
can do so. 'Very few of them ever
seem to attempt it or even to desire
it.' Whether they get high wages
or low wages, whether they get one
fourth, one-third or one-half of the
crop the result at the close of the
year is the same-0.
Another feature of the average
laborer is, that he wants to work
just as little as he can possibly get
along with. If he can make a cer
tain amount-enough to get him
two or three square meals-that is
all he cares for ; he won't work the
other half for a similar amount.
The time he doesn't work is so much
time saved. His idea on this sub
ject has been compared to the idea
some men have of a labor saving
machine, whose definition would be
"a machine to save labor." Their
idea is that when one has done as
much work with a labor saving ma
chine as he could have done with
out he is entitled to stop work and
take his rest, whethier it be morn
ing, noon or night.
Another drawback to the average1
Nithstanding it is the most expen
ive and useless luxury he is bound
to have it as long as he can man
Lge to pay for it, even if hehas -to
tint himself in the necessaries of
ife.
Another drawback is that so
many women and children do no
thing. It is often the case that in
i family of five or six persons the
bead of the family is the only one
that works; sometimes the,-wifej
nd children make something in
[oeing and picking cotton, but for
the rest of the year they are abso
lutely idle.
Yet, with all his faults, the negro
is a good laborer-in the absence
of a better.
CoL Aiken is still working away
on his pet bill to make the agricul
tural department an executive de
partment.
Presentment of the .grand
Jury.
THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA,
COUNTY OF NEWBERRY.
COURT OF GENERAL SESSIONS
To the Honorable J. H. Budson,
Presiding Judge:
The Grand Jury for 1881, 'Febr4ary
Term, would respectfully submit the
following Presentment :
The varied duties devolving upon
us have been attended to with whatso
ever of thoroughness they could be
with the time and opportunities af
forded as.
THE POOR HOUSE.
The Poor House was visited aud
the condition of the property was ex
amined, and the buildings now occu.
pied are in good repair, and the prem -
ises are well cared for, being kept
clean and neat. There are, however,
two double cabins, not now in use,
which are not so that they could be
used should they be needed. The ap
pearance of the inmates, leven in
aumber-five white, six colored
shows that they receive proper treat
ment and that they are well cared for.
We believe it to be a fact, evidenced
by the reports for year ending 30th of
Octfber, 1880, and the contracts en
tered into for this fiscal year, that the
County Commissioners and Keeper of
the Poor House have tried to reduce
the expenses of this institution to the
minimum so far as they could in con
sonance with the welfare of the in
mates.
THE JAIL.
The condition of the jail was found
to be good, making the prisoners in
charge of the Sheriff tolerably secure.
There are some repairs, however, which
are needed, part being already under
contract. We would call attention
of the County Commissioners to the
leaks in the roof of the jail, calling to
their minds the fact that the repairs
under contract do not include tbe
stopping of these leaks.
THE COURT HOUSE.
The Court House is in good repair.
The Jury Rooms, as has been seen by
every Jury, Grand and Petit, for some
time, are in bad condition. There are
no chairs, nor can one enter these
rooms without having eyes and nose
offended by unpleasant sights and
odors, caused, in part, by the drip
from the two lengthy stove pipes.
We would recommend the procuring
of chairs for these rooms, and the
ahanginig of the pipes, or stoves, if
necessary, to avoid the nuisance.
Would also recommend that addition.
il chairs be procured for the accommo
dation of the members of the Bar.
COUNTY OFFICES.
Have visited the various County
1ffices-Clerk's, Sheriff's, Judge of
Probate's, Auditor's, Treasurer's and
School Commissioner's, and are satis
ied with' the workings of the same,
feeling assured that they are in the
aands of comapetent men.
TRIAL JUSTICES.
The offices of those Trial Justices in
:he Town of Newberry were visited
tnd found in good trim. Their books
>f record were easily accessible, and
ready for inspection. Their accounts
gainst the County for last fiscal year
were examined, and we are satisfied
~hat they were paid by the County
>nly for services rendered.
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
Special attention was given to the
ffice of the County Commission~ers,
Lmd the care shown in the keeping of
he accounts and vouchers added to
he pleasure. We are satisfied that
he duties of this o,ffice are conscien
iously attended to. We would call
ttention of the County Commissioners
o the need there is for a bridge over
Bittle River on the Island Ford Road,
md recommend the building of the
ume. Also to a place in the Brazel
nan's Bridge Road near the bridge,
which has been reported by Mr. J. F.
)xner. but not attended to. Brazel
nan's Bridge is in a dangerous condi
ion. There is a bridge, five and a
ialf miles from the Court House, on
A small bridge on the road leading
through Helena, and about a mile be
yond Helena, is in nced~ of itu.ediate
repair. A bridge near MT Toni
Lane's on the road leading fron the
Belfast Road to the Laurens Road is
danger,us There is an extremely
dangerous place on the Columbia Road
n r) wat is known as the Dr. Th'.p
svi place. On the Lindsay's Bridge
Road there is a place in "Noah Mar
4 ti' --IAme", some four - wiles from
Newberry, so bad that we would re
coiiend that the road be changed so
a- ., avoid it. Near the Meudeihll
Bridge, on this side, the road is so
bad as to force travel in other direc
tions. On the Holly's Ferry Road,
what is known as the Richardson
Branch is impassable, forcing travel
out of this road into other directions.
We would respectfully recoiwend
that these points be looked after- and
repaired.
Respectfully submitted,

MESSRS. EDITORS : A little volume
titled -Wayside Flowers," by Miss
Maggie MeNioch, of Williamston, S.
C , has made its appearance in the
literary world.
The volume is composed of short
poems and sketilies, which embody a
musical flow of language,. a roundness
of periods and a pathos of sentiment,
which are most beautiful and eminent
ly characteristic of the fair authorers,
and can but charm the most critical
ear. We rejoice at this Southern lit
erary success and bespeak for i: a
hearty response from an appreciative
public. J. W. K

The Nepotism akd Niggardli
neus or the Retiring Presi
dent.
As the end of of Mr. Haves's ad
ministration approaches it sinks lower
in publie estimation. Even those
who have hitherto attemptcd to de
fend it at last give up the attempt.
and confess that it has f1zllen to 91l
most as low a plane as Grant's. The
President's appointment of Stanley
Matthews, his kinsman, to a place on
',he Supreme bench for which he
would not have been thought of ex
cept for their relationship, is univer
sally considered about as bad as any
thing which Grant was guilty of. Nor
is this an isolated ease of such favori
tism. Repeated instances have oc
curred where army officers have been
promoted over the heads of scores
of men their superiors in training
and experience, solely because of their
relation to or intimacy with the
Hayes fariily. One case of this sort
which recently occurred is especially
flagrant. It has just leaked out that
after Gen. Hancock's defeat last No.
veniber lhe wrote a letter to Mr.
Hayes. in whieb he made a personal
request that he would grant to a
friend of his (Col. Mitchell) who has
been long associated with him in war
and peace and is now a mem'oer of his
staff, the appointment of assistant-in
spector-general, for which he was
every way qualified by length arnd
fidelity of service. Gen. Hancock. in
his letter, modestly ref"rred to the
fact that the fortunes of political war
had forbidden him an opportunity
to recognize Col. Mitchell's nw'rits,
adding that he had no complaint to
make for hinmself, but would consider
it a great favor if Mr. Hayes could
grant this, his sole request. It was
of no avail, however. A Capt Breek;
enridge, one of the junior captains in
the service, had rmarried a niece of
Mrs. Hayes, and when Mr. Hayes he
camie President he found his reward.
He was first jumped over the heads of
a dozen senior captains to the charge
of the artillery at tihe W-ashington Ar
senal, which is one oif the snuggest
positions in the arny, and not long
ago he was appointed assistant inspec
tor general, with the rank and pay
of major, though to reach this place
he -bad to be ,lifted over forty officers
of higher rank, each of whom was
better entitled to the place.
No President whom we have ever
had-not even G?ant with all his
favoritism-has done more to de
moralize the army than Mr. Hayes.
Coming into office with loud pro
fessions on the subject of temperance,
he has becorme notorious for the whole
sale mani-'s in which he has over
ruled the verdicts of courts-mrartial
dismissing and suspending officers for
drunkenness. Some of these eases
have been as bad as any on record, and
had not one redeeming feature; yet
political influence, or something else,
has availed to secure the restoration
of the offenders. Mr. Hayes is re
ported as telling a recent caller that he
had got beyond the point of caring
what the newspapers said about him,
and he certainly acts so.
One of the questions most discussed
in Washington just now is the policy
of the new administration on the wine
(luestion. Mr. Hayes' course in re
gard t- this, as most other matters, r
has been inconsis.-nt. and it may be
doubted whether he has not harmed
the cause of temperamce inore than he
has helped it. People can under- 3
stand and respeet a uan who declin~s <
to drink wine himself and refuses to b
set it before his guests. But nobody n
can have much respect for a wan who <
fails to provide wine for his guests- u
especially when .as at a State dinner
they are not so ,much bis guests as <
those of the country whose hospitality
he dispenses--and yet goes to other
people's tables and drinks their wine. t
It gives color for the story that.th.1
real reason why no wine is furnished t
at the White House is not becaue
I Mr. Hayes has any moral prejudice
against it, but because he wanted to
save the expense. It certainly is a
fact. no occupant of the White House
ever descended to such petty and
even discreditable shifts to save money
as Mr. Hayes. Gen. Garfield is not I
a hypocrite, and the general expecta
tion is that he will- provide wine-cer
tainly at state dinners. lie is fond of
good living himself and lie is not the
sort of a man to drink winic at other
people's tables and then refuse to set
it before them at his own tabl6.

From the Lutheran Visitor.
The meeting of ouriconference at
Grace Church was well attended, all
the ministers being -present but Dr.
Smeltzer and Rev. S. P. Hughes, and
a good attendance of lay delegates.
The weather was delightful, the atten.
dance large,'tlhe preaching and dis
cubsions %bld and everything really
pleasant.
The "Christian Sabbath" was ably
discussed in a series of theses, and an
essay by Rev.~Shirey and then by the
ajewbers:of Conference.
The following was, however, the
most interesting and absoibng item"of
business:
REPORT oF THE COMMITTEE ON THE
ABOLISHMENT OF THE LIQUOR
TRAPFIC.
Your committee vppointed to report
some plan of operation looking to the
decrease of the liquor traffic, or its
ultimate-abolishment in our cou-nty
and State at large, respectfully submit
the following, to wit:
That we hail with joy the evidence,
in the kind providence of God, that
popular opinion is begining to appre
ciate the unmitigated evils of inteil
perarce, and that it is now, as we
hope, maturing for a steady aud de
terwiued opposition against the tafflc
in ardent spirits. Therefore
Iesolved, That we are firmly con
vinced that it is our duty, as it is our
privilege, now . specially to use our
united influence in opposition to this
legalized curse inflicted upon us, and
this entire commonwealth; and that
we will, in our intercourse with thd
people, in private as well as in public,
as occasion may afford us opportunity,
use our influence to awaken the peo
ple .to a proper appreciation of the
wrongs inflicted upon society and up
on the Chureh by the indiscriminate
sale and use of intoxicating drinks;
and that we will specially use our
earnest endeavors to awaken our
own people to their duty to thetn
selves, the Church and the State in
this regard.
.Resolved, That we cordially invite
the hearty co-operation of all Chris
tian people and all good citizens in
this effort to banish the trafic in ar
dent spirits from our conty and
State.
Resolved, That a commit.ee -be
appointed to confer with all the
churches in this county, through their
pastors, concerning the propriety of
calling a county temperance conven
tion, for the purpose of organizing the
united effort of all lovers of peace and
order and good morals, for the pur
pose of ridding our codutry of this un-.
mitigated curse; and furthermore,
that the said committee be clothed
with power to call such' a convyen tion
at such a time and plaee as their
judgment may dictate; provided the
favorable response of the churches to
the conference herein provided for tne
such as to warrant them in so doing.
But futhermore, should the re
sponse not warrant the said committee
in calling a county convention, look
ing to united and for the purpose of
indicatiug a general line of action.
Resolved, That we will not obate
our interest, in this matter, but will
cheerfully co-operate in the general
movement that is now on foot iin
other parts of the State, in the circu
lation of a petition asking legal pro
tection in the matter of the vending
of ardent spirits, and that we will use
our influence to secure signatures
thereto.

Hi. S. WXINGARD.
N. B. W4HEELER,
This we consider one of the most
important moves of the present age.
The conference unanimously agreed
that the favorable change of public
sentiment in favor of abating this
great national curse indicates the
"good time comirg," and we desire
to put ourselves on record as willing
to co-operate in a grand crusade
against this great moral evil. The -
ommittee will proceed at once to
inaugurate steps by which we hope
to drive the curse from our county
and State.

critizised severely the speeches u;ad
by a certain stump orator (under

ple of South Carolina, and accuse

The falsity and baseness of the aceus:

At the concluion of Senator Bu

it was designed as an attack upon hit
self, and he had only to say that th

he had doue injustice-to the people <

Senator Butler : The Senator b:
