GEN. BUTLER IS OPTIMISTIC. Old Soldier Talks of rine\Grops and Labor Conditions.?Approves Judge Brawley's Decision. News and Courier. Columbia, August 22.?Gen. M. C. Butler for forty years has known as much about South Carolina as any other man who has lived in this state during that time. Gen. Butler has been in the city this week with his old comrades, and while in conversation with this correspondent the other day lie declared that the crops on his plantation in Edgefield are the finest this year that he has seen since the war. Gen. Butler does not take much stock in much of the talk about labor conditions. He was emphatic in saying that lie thought the decision of Judge Brawley upsetting the farm labor contract law is just and proper. He thinks that credit will always have to be extended to the negroes, because they are essentially shiftless, but does not think there should be any trouble managing them. "What about the negroes who won't keep their obligations, General?" was asked. "Weil, 1 don't know, because I have never had any of that kind on my place." "You know, lots of these fellows who get up and denounce the "negro would fry to put me or you in jail or ( hang us, if we were to go to their farm and try to get the negro to leave ;he state Why, if there should be an exodus of the negroes these same fellows would start a civil war. They talk about a race war, but there is no more danger of any such thing than there is of a war between me and you," said the General. "There won't be any fight between us, General, if I can get out. of the way," said the newspaper man. "And I am old and lame and can't fight now," replied the General. Commenting on political conditions Gen. Butler said lie was glad to know that South Carolina in her legislation concerning railroads and other corporations had been the most conservative of all the states, and had not gone crazy like some of the others. "If we could get rid of the demagogue this country would be all right," lie continued. "Why a fellow will got up and make a speech, in which he portrays the marvellous prosperity and progress of the country, and then in a little while he will denounce the corporations for their terrible oppression of the people. I can'I figure out how he stands for both propositions." There are. different views on the labor problems, but all views this year seem to be the same on the crops in South Carolina. Mr. J. Helton Watson, one of the largest, farmers of Anderson contitv, has been in Columbia for several days this week, preparatory to a trip in the interests of the Farmers' union, in which he is a leading member and officer. "Crops are fine," said Mr. Watson, in response to a question. "Yes, sir, in our county, the ox and the ass will know where their master's crib is this year, sure. T have never seen the cotton in better condition and there is plenty of corn.'' Mr. Watson went o;i to say that Ihc labor conditions were the only drawback to the prosperity of the farmers. He stated that the negroes everywhere had heard of Judge Brawley's decision, and il had had its elTeel in making them restless and some of them had jumped their contracts. no longer being in fear of imprisonment. "The thing to do is Jo repeal the lien law, and any man who will accomplish that will serve his state j most signally," declared Mr. Watson. j'1 I'he Farmers, union has already pass) ed a resolution urging the legislature to take this action, and a committee has t>c<ii appointed, termed the legislative eommittee, which will ome to the legislature next winier and nrcre this a- l.'on on the member?, r.l-jng with the advocacy of other leghJpti.m which '.he Farmers' union desires to see enacted. Mr. Watson i? .1 member ol this committee. Mr. Watson thinks the wap,rc. sy; cm ,nust supplant the lien !<-.w Mr Watson says that, the Farmers' union 15 gio.vini' it<?.n. lil? He is now making a trip to the 'ower part of jtho state and speaks at Orangeburg, Barnwell and Bamberg, explaining the purposes and the plans of the union. lie declares that there is nothing in the organization which can he objected to, and the union desir??; Ihc friendship of the mill men j and all others. The union, he declares, 1 is anxious to set a fixed price for cot-1 (oil each year and this will be to the advantage of the mills. Jit order to counteract to some extent the evil conditions following Judge Brawloy's decision, tho Farm- 1 crs' union at its recent state conven- 1 tion adopted a resolution pledging its members not to engage or employ ' farm laborers who are under contract ' with another farmer, whether tho 1 contract is binding or not. This prac- 4 tice has aroused considerable feeling in some sections of the state. : < ? SOUTH CAROLINA LEADS.
