Editor 'The Laurens Advertiser: Please allow one space to say a few -words in regard to the negro question that has been talked about so much here lately. I 'believe that the time is not very long off when the negro will have to be put in a place by himself by force of somie kind, if there is not some law made that will give the poor--white man a better chance than he has now. You can take the majority of landown ers and they had rather have a negro to work for then than a white man, for the reason that a negro will 'work for less and steal a whole lot that they don't work for ant if the man he is Working for catches him stealing he won't 'bother him because lie is work ing for him Sand about half the negroes are selling 'whiskey if not for them selves, for some white man1 who he knows will pay his fine if he gets unght. I know this to be so for I heard a negro say not more than a week ago that his "Cap'n" told hIin to go his route flid sell all the liquor thait hie wanted, If lie got caught up1) with he wonld pay his line. This tne gro w:s selling whiskey then for I saw im selling it. Some will ask why I diin't report hium. Well that. Is not iny bsliness. We have ollicers for that job' and if they don't attend to their duty and catch them I ai not going to do it, for by so doing 1 woildn't make anything by it but one inles. I don't believe there's a white ,man living that thinks a negro is his equal, so why not put hiim to himself where he can make his own laws and have 'HE BIG ) RY S -OF s &CompE )ld Town of Lauren Days of this Big a year.

LAURE etely out of the High..nri his own way in general. It wodll4 be 'better for the white man, both' rict and poor,'if he Was'to'himself, for it ,ould give the average poor ambitious white man a chance to 'buy and pay for a farm of his own and the man that owns -more than his allotted share of land could sell what he didn't need and be in better circumstances than he is now fooling with negro help, for what -I can see rind l.earn about them the most of them come out in debt. Not only the negro comes out in delt but also- the white man that has to rent because he has to pay such a high rent for his farm in competition with negro renters. You can take the labor around most of the towns and cities and you will find negroes holding some good job that many a poor white man would have if it wasn't for the negro. Of course some of them is what is called regular "nigger jobs", but if there wasin't any negro to fill the pnlae it wouldn't be any trouble to,get a white man to fill it.
