wit, M a*1nd FMA . H. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New 'Gerry. S. C., as 2nd class matter. Tuesday, May 28, 1907. The article, "How Jeems fixt th clock,'' is written by Mrs. Ethe Thomas, formerly of Newberry, bit now living in North Carolina. I was first published in the Charlott< Observer. We have her permission to reproduce it in The Herald and News She will be remembered by mana people inl Newberry and by nianj readers of The Herald and News or accillnt of soie ver1y interestinl. stories whileh she wrote for us when she live41 in Newberry some years ago. .Mr. ('o'lirail, tlhe t inie Stites (IiS tfiet ll'itife1 , N 1i' h' t.he tolloowiH.c stateni Ini in re.-rar I tile Opinlion of JillWl'-'e 'iri ;wlev is to lab r tlli"a.t . .

FARM LABOR CONTRACTS. .Judge Brawley has filed his decis ion .eclaring the law as to farm labor conltraets contrary to the provisions of the tlirteintil aid fourteenth aiendiments of tle Federal consti tution; and Iherefore null and void, Alt ornev eneral ]yon ays le is 4inw' to appeal the case to the su prena-i ''i of the luited Siaties.

Withut eterie upn th let ther coitutnaity f the' contra labor law (of South Carolina. for iti for the layman to assume as of cours, that the decision is sound until it b reversed by a hiichern court, it is to b) sind1 that its effect will be unfor'tunl ate at least for the time. Later, eon ditions may road1juist thesel(ves an, impr'ovement, for' all w'e kno)w, man result by' reason of thle decCision, bu for fte presenti it is dliffieniht tot dli eernl ini it oither t han miiiot unte Southi Carol)1in a farimers. It is idlle to contend thmat the ord nary remedies of the law for the er forcement of contracts satisfactory as among white men, are efficaciou for the control of negro laborers or the farms. The majority even of the docile and "good" negroes are irre sponsible. The remedy of damageh for breach of contract is useless to the employer. The negro laborer, on the other hnd, would in a great pro portion of cases, starve, -were not supplies of food advanced before his 3 work can be performed, and the coil 1 tract labor law of the state has forti t fled the farmer with the sole secur t i1v that lie has for such adviance ments. While the law has bleen si) ,ject, to ablise, we believe that tle abutses have been exceptional, and that the avera-e South Carolina far iter who employs negro labor is just a111d imerciful to his hired servanits. We do n1ot atfflempt, to prediet the illilmlediate results or the decree on ile w_--ricultua1al operations now in) pro.."ress. llidireel y. if* will strenth.-I (.n1 Ile rini sentiment inl favor. or tlie abolition of the agricltuilral lien a., :ani prbably bi ab'it tile re 1)(p 1 of that statute at tile n,xt meet inl,- of the _-eneral asseblily. DON'T MAKE IT A ROAD. We deiea-ain to1 4all attenition. tio file maifer (1f, a streol hetweenli the Frederick anid tIle courit house from .\dtims ret into 'T'hompon street, and to vielphasizv whl:t has already beeln snaidl. that it would he a very ,renl uistake to oien siuch a street for the 1i,e of wagons. Some of those -.2entlemen who hou-ht 141s where the ohl laundry stood say nthat they were purchased with tile nu iderst and ii thit such a street would he opened. We regret this very much. hut we are looking now to the -2ood of the county an<t the eoiveinience of those who may have business in t(e courts. One of the arguments for moving the court house to where it is now loatel was to.1et it IIT the public sluare. We elnn S, 110e no!reat ndvan twin-e in takin2 it off one public square a pittiinr- it on ainother public square. aid this street, if opeiied, would rim very close to the court house and really it woull be of very lit Io benefit and would put file new (4 11 rt ho4'e in file iiddle of another piblic sinare. To open a nice walk wav which woill he beautified with flowers and trees, would add very much to the appearance of the court house grounds, )tt it would be a great mistake to make a regular wa gon road at this place.
