In the petition filed in the U. S. ]

the necessity of appointing a re-1
ceiver and would not do so in the |

NEWS AROUND SANTUC.
A Scarcity of Hands on the Farms.
Other Local News.
"Old winter will not long be king;
We're drifting down toward May,
And soon the little birds of spring
Will warble forth their lay."
Ah, don't be too fast. We will
have many a cold day yet.
Mr. I. M. Mobley, of Goshen
Hill, was in Santuc last Saturday.
Mr. and Mrs. Tom Sims of the
section of Hebron church visited
relatives in Santuc Saturday and
Sunday.
The Santuc Mercantile Company
has just gotten in a bunch of horses
mostly all pairs.
Mr. S. J. Davis has moved with
his family to Laurens and we recrret'
to to lose him as a friend and citizen.
Mr. "Bird" Vaughan, who lived
near Sardis, has sold out there,
bought a farm near here and has
moved his family on to it.
Mr. and Mrs. L. L. Sheally have
gone to Trenton for a short stay,
Mr. Sheally being called as a witness
in court.
This warm, sultry, foggy weather
is Tat her oppressive and is producing
a big crop of colds in this section.
74 degrees was reached Sunday.
The thermometer readings thow
that this winter up to date is a mild
one, though there were almanac
predictions that it would be severe.
IS degrees was the lowest and that
was fleeting.
I believe the hens throughout
this section are doing rather well
laying, and 110 one owning them are
complaining of having no eggs. The
old hens are rather respectable this
winter.
The little pond frogs broke out
in a "service of song" last week,
and they seem to have a protracted
meeting. It is not often they are
much heard before February.
My thanks are due Senator Till-'
man for a copy of the year book of
the department of agriculture for
1904. This is rather late, but they
are hard to be supplied and Senator
Tillman and Section Director J. W.
Bomar generally manage to get me
one, and I appreciate their efforts.
The "Consumers Fancies" in it is
particular good reading.
Tho small grain crop (and it is a
small crop of grain) is looking fine;
no severe weather to set it back as
yet. But many farmers did not
sow much oats last fall for two reasons,
because of very hard land and
because of fear of winter killing.
We have had a great deal of rain
of late, but if the land dries down

probably be a quantity sown this
spring, and sometimes they make
fine. |
There is a scarcity of hands this
year, and many fields will be "lying
out" the coming year. Methods of
obtaining hands are changing, and
the "public works" which many,
people boost up as being conducive
to building up the country is largely i
responsible for farming conditions
as many view it. Then the desire
to have a mule to ride on Sunday
or a top buggy, and to go in debt,
appeals to most of the negroes. As
to working for wages, ciuoth most
negroes, never-more.
Wonder what is the per cent of !
reduction for the cotton crop this !
year fixed by the Southern Cotton
Association? This brings to mind
that I think the ftssociatfo^to one
extent at least, is unfah4pgEfe*hcr
inconsistent. To wit;
ciferously to reduce >
Now a great number/
are renters, they are^* >wc j
acreage to raise prK^ never a I
word is said about ^"^.Sg rents to .
them in proportion. ^^."u big landlord
got 100 bales \$i cotton five
years ago when a ' big crop was
planted and prices at 6 to 7 cents.
he now, when farmers are urged to
reduce, still gets the 100 bales at
from 10 to 12 cents. Perhaps he is
raising his rents. The small renters
aro raising the price by shorter
crops and the others are getting
their full crop. Of course if a man
is a big farmer and raises it himself
it is quite different, but the ones
who receive a full crop of rents in
the face of a short crop by the producer
are the ones who are getting
rich. Verily, a big, full crop, with
only two to three bales per horse
falling to the renter at 7 cents per
pound is better in the long run for
the army of renting men than a
short crop with a half to one bale
falling to his share at 10 or 11 cents.
No, sir, short orops, big rents, even
with big prices, is not putting much
money in a renters pocket. Then
this big price is making many buy
up and hoard land to the curse of
the country. Let there be equity.
Then there ought not be two*4 minimum
prices" set for one season.
I will not let out* on this at this
time.
