Editor County Record:-^ Flease allow me to make a few re- ( marks as to the labor problem in, white man's land; then all through [ the summer you hear the whoop and whoop, "Can't get labor to make 1 our crops." Besides, this same kind j of labor is in part responsible for the ; over-production and low price of.!, * ' m this county. In the outset.our principal laborers are the colored race. We all agree to one fact, that this1 labor is becoming scarcer and more difficult to secure year by year. Still we have more negroes among us now than ever, or the statistics of our county show it. Now,the important question is. why is this labor becoming scarcer daily?^Here is the cause in a nut-shell?it is at the feet of our white business men, the lien merchants. If you could just see the books of the lien merchants of onH Williamshurcr coun UW1 WV T? ii MMVk t * ....... 0 ties and see the amount of both money Jand merchandise that have been advanced to the should-be colored labor of this year 1911 you would be amazed at the amount and more so at the flimsy security; some will take 50 per cent weaker security from the negro than he takes from the white people. The white man owns the land and the horses and mules and the fertilizer that it takes to make a crop; now,Mr fair-minded merchant, if the negro were not allowed to be sold this stuff and also to be credited with the other necessaries of life, why should he not do labor for the white man? Notice the protest on the islands around Charleston and Beaufort where they were left destitute by the last August gale; they will suffer before they will leave home and accept work. Why? Because they hare been made to be a farmer or pretender by Mr credit merchant. When he comes to make arrangements on the first of each year the negro is shown more favors than the whites; he has nothing to offer as security as a general thing but his crop on land leased from some white man, or his share of a crop supposed to made on the We Have 1 riday morning to rui imsburg County dur 3argains the are the: nv old place" we'll si .nd let us show the g /len's and Boys' ck Must Go. value reduced to $1.00. ;s reduced to $15.00. s reduced to $12.00. nd Fifty (350) Pairs Pants m 75c to S5.00 at this Sale >!

Now is the time and due 11 time for our merchants to open their i eyes and stop this kind of work. ; They lose nine times in ten on every ] one they advance. Our white people rule and dictate the laws, and | , why should they not rule the entire | farming of our county? I" think i while our Farmers' Unions are meet- j ing and discussing planting and hold-' ing cotton the labor problem might be given some credence; also it's in the power of our business men to relieve this perplexing question.; There are fields aroundthis town that not a lock of cotton has been picked from. Still we have several hundred . cotton pickers who live in the town, | Quite a lot of those colored women , refuse to pick cotton at any price; ] they say they have all the business ] of their own that they can attend to. j If a change is not made, watch this moffo* rrrnut wArQp , IliabV^l ftiVTI T*V*WV?

I Greelyville, November 25:?After j an illness covering several months, ' Isaac McElveen, the oldest son of , Mr and Mrs W S McElveen, depart- < ?d this life Sunday, November 19. "Ike," as the boys all called him, ? was just 20 years of age, and though he died young he leaves a host of friends who will regret to hear of his untimely death. Isaac left here for Atlanta, Ga, about three years ago to attend a business college in that city, and on finishing his course he located there. While there he he contracted the "white plague" and returned home about nine months ago. The balmy atmosphere of old Greelyville seemed to benefit him for a while, but it was not long before this dread disease held him firmly in its grasp. Every thing in the power of his family was done to ward off the end, but the Grim Reaper took him from them on Sunday about noon. The body was interred on Monday at Mt Hope :emetery. Besides his parents Isaac leaves )ne brother and three sisters and a arge number of friends and relatives to mourn his death. The ?amily has the sympathy of the en- 1 tire community in this sad bereavenent. 'A Friend.
