The Labor Problem.
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

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

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

he has saved many lives in his 25 <
years of experience in the drug busi- l

he writes, "is to recommend Dr .

sore lungs, hard colds, hoarseness, *
obstinate coughs, la grippe, croup, r
asthma or other bronch.al affection,

Death of Mr. Isaac McElveen.'
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.
