Working our farms with "standing -wages hands" Is fait becoming a tbli g of the past, aays the Southern Cultivator, The greater part of our negroes much prefer to work on whan* as they term It or to rent the land The majority of our farmers have been very la* in their methods of making contracts. A meie verbal agrem^nt was entered Into, whereby the landlord was to furnish so many aores of land to be ou)tlv?.t*d on Sharon, or for bo many pound* Of lint cotton. Very few landlords have any definite understanding as how this land Is to be kept up; how fertilized; how plowed and oultt vated and wtiat crops were to be planted. The idea hau been for the negro to plant and make all the cot too pissibe and this was all. Now we tain* the time has arrived for a radloil change and according to our bes* judgement, it bhouia be eiecuteo fi / iv>i ill h I vi<f H b a f h 1 u i m\j itJ u&g vii 19 1. There should be a written con tract. The negro la free, and while the majority do nothing but abuse this freedom, still we had as well be gin to adjust cur methods to this oou ditlon and treat with him asa free agent, but put proper ard necessary restrict Ion* upon him. Mo one oan enter upen a contract with another without assuming certain oondltlcns, and these ondltious should be clearly set forth and their fulfillment duly demanded. # 2. Trie preservation of the sail should bo demanded and a forfeit for all failure to keep up terraoes and sujb safeguards fully agreed upon. 3. Soma system looking to the rota don of orops should also bo demanded 4. Just how much was to be furnls led as tho work on the crop prog rssed should also bo clearly set fo th. If any one oan suggest other or offe* a better form of contract our ool u nns arc open to them. We so often h ar men m ;king ion arks lias these ' I would 11 ice to farm If I could o u trol labor." 'T o&n not ge a negr to take any care of thu land." "1 cm not m^ke them worn, like 1 wane to," etc., and there Is universal c m plaint of tho unsatisfactory oondlMer o* negro laoor. Now the qurs Ion (am UJh/. I- ?~l 1 ?? " ' * moo, it uu in KUiUK lAi I Ult' r II we t imely suomlt wo will certainly bo run over, We may have more or lest clash by undertaking to have a rational agreement, but as we conceive It, 'tis ours to dictate the terms, and theu It Is left with thorn to acoept or not. The sooner we begin some rational sys tern, the better for both parties. Wo are fully aware there are many far mars of that forceful oharaoter that imply rule on their premises, and. the* have been enabled to get along well, but others are not constituted this way and they suffer. The strong should help the weak, and those who cin do without a writ ten contract, sh uld ust oue to help their nelghbcra. All other oountrles have a system aud we must have one, too If we wish the best results In our farm operations. We admire the example of Mr. J. 0. Strlbllng, of Pendleton, 8. 0. He says no tenant can stay on Lis land who will not agree to sow down one third of his land every year, or oarry out a regu iar three year rotation of grain, corn and cotton. This Is zood business; 1 In tbeend It will be b3nedolal to Mr strlbllng, to his land and to the ne- . gro tenant. Of course, our negro laborrrs are , going to get worte and worse each year as long as we submit to their trilling and careless wars. It Is simply a question of who is goiDg to dictate terms We do not advo 1 cats wronging the negro In any way, but If we are to dwell together In unity and for the upbuiding of ouragrlcul 1 tural Interest, then we must begin a more rational and ex&otlng system of demands upon them for tho proper ' carrying out all labor oontraots. We call upon all our readers not to { m?"*e trades for another year without a written contract and put it in then how they are to Improve the land ; about terraoes, rooks, stumps, gullies, ; galled spots and what they are to pl&nt and how 4hey* are to cultivate it. It Is a little trouble, but it will 1 pay both ways?It w 11 pay In oalllng your attention more closely to the needs of your land, and It will pay in getting the negro to do some better. ' We do not claim it will be a "royal road;" there will be mauy otrstaolee to overcome; but It Is oertalnlv a road leading In the right direction. Got Hie Well Ouk, An Irishman took a contract to dig a well. When he had dug about twenty feet down, he oame one morning and found that the well had fallen in and was filled to the top. Pat looked oautlously around and saw no one was nmr, he then took off his hat and coa < a id nung mem on the windlass, and crawled Into some bushes and waited events. In a abort time the neighbors discovered that the well bad fallen in, and seeing Pal's hat and coat on the windlass supposed that he was at tht bottom of the excretion. A few i hours of digging cleared the loose 1 earth from the well. Just as the ex < oavatora bad reached the bottcm and were wcnderlng where the body was. 1 Pat came out of the bushes and good < naturedly thanked the diggers for re lleving him of his sorry Job.

"South Carolina's oil mills wer< nover m >re prosperous," said one of the leading ootton seed crushers of the state to a Columbia R?oord man re o- ntly. "The same thing might bf * id," he added, "of the mills through out the South." Good time for the mills means tremendous enhancement of the wealth p oduotionof 1 he oommunity, and h tatoment will be welcomed noocdingly. No industry in tl e South amounts to more and Is talked about less Just how vital the bualners is to Southern prosperity may be realized from a summary of the information remain ing with The Record man after along conversation with the orusher quoted. "There are," he said, "about eight hundred ootton seed oil mills ard ootton oil refineries located In the South. Of these, about seventy five are owned by Eastern, Norther > and Western stockholders. One co pany, a ma Jorlty of whose stock^' h orb, and all of whose executive (.ttioors, are South ern men, owns about ninety p ants. The balance, over six hundred, are owned by lecal people, many thou sands of whom are farmers. "To the South, thorofore, belongs a large part of the development of this wonderful industry, and the profits, when any are mado, are divided among the people who either product the ootton, or whose Interests are Hen titled with those of the cot toe grower. "It Is th" manufacturing in dustry that ucuhor a ks nor receives national or state protection or subsidy; that totes Its own sktlW; that for years returned to the farmers fron 75 to 100 per ODt. of the gross valu< of its prodnotu after paying cash foi the raw material and the cost of pro ductlon.

Discussing the value of cottonseed, formerly a waste product, he said thoy are now used, principally, for plant* Ing, mlling, feeding stook or fertil z log crops. "About eight per oent. of the seed orop," he stated, "Is needed for planting purposes, amountirg on the 1 acreage of 11)06 06, to about 405,000 j tons. The total promotion of seed, n a basla of the orop of 1006 06, at J 000 pounds of seed to the b ile of oot . ton, was 6,130,000 tone. Deducting the amount for planting left 4,725,880 tons for other uses. It appears from the government reports that about 3,500,000 tons were crushed at the oil mills during the same year, or about seventy per cent, of the Beed Available over and above that necessary for planting purposes. 'Tt Is generally known that while bhe seed has a oertaln feeding value, it dots not compare with the feeding value of meal and hulls, the latter r being In far better meohanical condi- 8 Hon. Besides, when seed aro fed to . jattle, or put under crop**, It entails in enormous loss of the ootton seed a products which should be ssved. Ii "The fertil zing value o seed In a 3onliued almost entirely to the * imount of meal contained In It. Ab 3 this averages from 776 to 826 pounds, $< it is evident that every pound over n that quantity In a ton of 2,000 pounds is almost wasted v hen used e for fertilizing the land Instead of be t log orushed by the mills. e "The mill* will generally "xohange 0 meal and hulla for seed with the / farmer on a basis that will make ii & tar better for the farmer to do this than to feed them to stock t r use the \ seed for fertilising the soil. s "if the seed are crushed at the t mills, the ohlef produot Is a high i tfrade material, and the b;r products i surpass any ether stook fee '. a 1 Not over about seventy per c nt. c of the surplus seed are oonvertt d Jat( c oil mill produot, hut If All the rte c exclusive of what Is needed for plant- * leg were crushed, the grotB com mar- t olal value would be double the valu- < of the raw seed used In ar y other way, <; and would Increase the value of tho South'? procuc s from this source alone about 160 000 000.

AgalDtt the Southern Rillwtj Will Be Beard In Jenaerj. The Columbia Slate says Ibe suit brought by Iba Stale of Soulb Carolina against the Souiharn railway, al ls?ing a violation of the constitution of Ibe State by the railway company in leasing the old Soulb Carolina and Georgia railroad and its extenslor from K'ngville to Marion, N. 0., la down on the roster for the present week of the civil oourt to be tried Sat urday. But the bearing will not be gin at Ibis time as Ibe attorneys engaged on both sides held a conference of Nov. 12 at which it was agreed that it should be htard at a apeolal Wm of court to be bald by Judgs Memmlnger in January Several years sgo tha Southern ae quired the South Carolina and Geor gla railway and its oonneciionH b# lease. The charter of the Southern under Its requirements, prescribes tha it s iall oonstruet a line to Charleston. This baa not been d^ne and the ac qnlrement of the already established line is construed as the purchase or leans of a oompetlng line of railway. Three years sgo the leglslatuit pawed a j int resolution authorizing the attorney general to bring suit againat the Southern, testing the alleged vlo j laticn. and to emnlov the necessary I council to assist Id the prosecution or the o&se. Several of the strongest at torneys in the State were employed and the suit was begun by the late Attorney General U. X. Gunter anci it was brought lu Kershaw county. Last year, by the agreement of all the counsel interested, an order was lasued tranaferlng the hearing to Rlohland county. The oaae has never been heard as the only time it was ever called for a hearing it was oonttn usd at the request of the attorneys for the railroad. The trial of the oase and Its result art awaited with much interest by all who are conversant with the sltua tion. It is stated by the cflclals of the Southern that there are many improvements amounting in money to a large </ure that are being held in abeyance awaiting the settlement of the oaae. It is said by those on other side that this is being used &s a ever to induce a favorab'e settlement of the oase for the railroads. "GARDEN OK DEATH."
