The labor problem of this country is what must be solvec before our people can ever agair attain to that degree of content ment they formerly enjoyed. I is a fast convincing realizatior that the negro will not labor ir the fields 'as a wage-earner. a. years go by the number of wage earners in the field from that race is becoming smaller. ArE they doing any better on thein own account? We think not. Ai a rule they are foolishly extrav agant, buy anything they car get on a credit, and have a hanc to mouth existance without ad ding to the development of th( country, and the consequence is there exists a business systen in this country which encourages the negro to lead a shiftless life no account to himself and a bnr den to others, we refer. to th lien system that needs chang ing. Almost any negr< can rent land, and once he rent, the land, the store account i open to him, and when that i done he no longer is a laborer but starts out in business fo himself. Let him succeed th' first year, and it swells his head his ideas are enlarged, and frot the little bull-ox he evolutes t the horse, and from the horse t a pair of horses and a red wheel ed buggy, and then he labor only when it suits his inclina tions. If he works, what h makes goes for rent, the res upon his lien, invariably leavin a balance to be c:ried ovei thus involving himself and hi creditor into a condition wher both cannot easily turn loos( Will the repeal of the lien lai remedy this evil, for evil it it there is no gainsaying it? An system which robs the fields c its natural labor is an evil. The what is to be done about it? Tb farmers upon whom every in terest in this country depend need relief from that which fast driving them from thei homes into the towns. We cannot see how the repe; of the lien law will help, becaus those engaged in th~is risky lie method would find some othe way of conhauing their busines negroes that can rent lar would have a credit extended 1 them on open accoulnt, and tl same complaint of lack of lab< would still be here. In 01 judgment the way to handle tI labor of this country is throng an organization of landowner bound not to rent lands exce: upon the condition of labor fur ished; adopt a plan of this so and labor will not be a scarcr and the credit system will reg late itself with or without t lien law. The whole thing lies in t hands of those who own the la whether or not labor shall cc tinue to be scarce in this tfunti When the Wittekind reachn Charleston with her cargo of living freight there will many from different sections the State at the wharf ready offer homes and employ mnent. this first lot of imtaigrar proves -a .success, it will a gieatly ~to the solving of t servant problem--a verital boon to housewives. If .the demand for Sena1 Tiliman as a lecturer continua he will find it more profitable take to the platform permane: ly them to remain in the Unit States. His recent lecture tc netted him it is said abt $25000, and he has engagemel ahead to take up all of his til until the Senate assembles. I another man go about the coi try pumping the same quality hot air he would not be able rent a hall. Tillman can anything,and the worse he sa; the more likely it is to attr crowds, and too, he is shre enough to know the money va of his peculiar talent. The government estimates 1 corn crop at 2,751,000,000 bu els, and independent estima reach 3,000,000,000 bush e which is an indication that bre stuffs will be cheapened. and'1 price of meats, now so mie will be lower. A large c< crop in the West means hea feeding to hogs and cattle, a the packers must reduce th prices in order to get their p ducts consumed. We look: hams that are now selling at cents per pound. to be selling the early part of next year: 125. Lard for about 6 cents a other meats in proportion. T falling off in the price of ea bles, together with a fairly g< crop of corn at home, will 'be great help to our farmers wh< cotton crop was a disappointni and prevented many of th from meeting their obligatic There are but few female lawy A woman would rather lay down law to one man than practice it be a roomful. Because the sheriff of Dorches ter permitted a negro prisoner to be taken away from him and lynched the governor suspended him from office until a petit jury acquits him of the charge of malfeasance in office. - If he is found guilty he not only is im peached from the office but he can never again hold public office. It will not take many such cases to make sheriffs more careful in the protection of pris oners in their custody. In the case of the Dorchester sheriff, it looks very much as if that officer winked at the lynching, if this is true, he should be made to suffer severely. The News and Courier has been making a hard fight in the interest of the policy holders of insurance companies. We have not yet been able to understand what the thing means. It ap pears to us as if the same methods as are employed in pol itics, are being employed in this insurance war-a case of ins and outs, the ins fighting for dear life to stay in, and the outs striv ing desperately to get in, while the masses of policy holders all over the country are being elec tioneered with piles of incom prehensible literature. The writer holds policies in a number of old line companies, and although there has been much grafting the companies are solvent, those of us who hold policies for protection need not feel uneasy, those who have investment policies may, on ac count of the graft have their profits diminished, and they perhaps may have interest in the choice of trustees. So far as we are concerned all of the trus tees look alike to us, and it is a matter of indifference from whom the beneficiaries of our policies receive what is due them. rI The News and Courier seems to be afflicted with insurance spooks and is evidently trying to stampede its readers by its ghost stories. The editorial col umns are daily filled with strong but uninteresting to the general public, articles on the insurance elections. Our esteemed con temporary would be rendering a more general service by devot s ing more of its editorial space e to devising a scheme that will guide the coming session of the Legislature to find a system of , liquor control to take the place of the State dispensary. The f dispensaryites have been claim n ing that it is unconstitutional e for the counties to select a sys te best suited to their environ ments,.and that the only scheme sof liquor control permissable by r our constitution is one which has the consent of the politi 1 cians, they of course want the a present system retained. The a News and Courier is capable, r and is in a position to draft ;liquor control system meetina dthe requirements of that grea1 oinstrument of obstruction, knowi e as the constitution of 1895, ani r we believe if it will give to th< r public the benefit of its lega e learning which will bring us ou E of the bog of corruption, dis , satisfaction, and financial-lost pt that the State liquor control ha: i brought us to, and lead us to t system which will guarantee th y right of local ~self-government - the taxpaying masses, not th ae insatiate politicians ruling, th service will be instructive, ii e teresting and more beneficia ad than the battle it is wagin - against the insurance compan .
