Work on Farm Pays Well 'This is the season of the year when everybody ought to get to work t'.iere is but few days in the year on the farm when there is no work that ought to be done, and I believe that all farmers ought to, as! one man, when hiring hands?those so-called "farmers" should require of them to "get to work." If they bargain to work on halves, they get more than the landlord anyway in extra patches, extra messes of roastingears, peas, etc, and most of them only work in the planting, working and gathering season, and the land may go to waste at every other time so far as they care. Ami at the same time while they have on a period of "walking about" (doing nothing to help to build up and improve the soil, to make a larger half for themselves) they are burning a lot of your wood, worth two to three dollars a cord, and you furnish the mules, and feed them, to haul it up for them. Talk about "naught's a naught, and jigger's a figger, but there is no business under the sun that is a business, that pays larger for the amount of work done, than that of the average negro cropper, as it is managed these days. There are not many who can, nor is, building up their farms with negro croppers, and most of them are forced into hiring that way way. It is needed for concert of action, hedging so about that hands will be compelled to help bring up the land or move to other places. This they may try, but if the next man requires work so that his land must be built up, and so on, the cropper might as well stick and get down to it. If they had sense enough about it, and didn't think they were doing too much for the white man, they might see that by that sort of work, they would be making more for themselves at the same time. T*1 !- " i nere is sometmng Datliy out of joint with the farming system and hiring of help. The help seems to think they are the farmers, and are giving you so much, one-half, for the use of your land, stock and feed, instead of you hiring them and paying them so much for their labor. They try to reverse the order of things. Hey Denver. Santuc News Letter. Now as the holidays go all students of Colleges and teachers go back to their respective college and school. Mr. Claude C. Gregory, a merchant of Winder, Ga., and who visited his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Gregory, Christmas week, has returned to his home. Rev. L. L. Wagnon of Union preached at the Methodist church here the first Sunday, for the pastor, Rev. O. N. Rountree. His text was from John 15:17. The subject, "Service to your fellowman." Mr. J. P. Thomas has been appointed magistrate for this township, Santuc. Mr. John Wix was magist.nt. K..?. : J - 1 ' 1 ' biatc, win. icsigneu on nis removal to Buffalo. Dr. J. T. Jeter, who has been in the Johns-Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, since before Christmas, was operated upon last week for gall-stone and appendicitis. Mrs. Jeter and other relatives are in Baltimore with him. Many people here are much interested in the case. In reading and hearing about so much foul murder?murder and robreries?of late, I wonder if some of those robbers are not those whom Governor?said to be? Blease has pardoned. It may be. In the case where that negro was lynched "because he had some words" with a white man (maybe a low-down white -man at that) I believe Governor Blease is responsible. He committed that murder in a way. I do not remember ever seeing such hard winds during a half-night and a vhole day as we had last Friday. It was very unpleasant to be out in, especially when not at work. I worked all day, seeking a sort of a sheltered place and fared very well. Several trees can be found up-rooted and broken off. One young man said it was not a high wind, for it was right down on the ground. Well, talk about the earthquake last week, but I neither heard it nor felt it, when nearly everybody about here did. I was "on the job" clearing a piece of soft land?a thicket?and I guess I kept pounding the bushes so that I thought I was shaking the ground. Anyway I put in a good day's work?I could commend myself (if no one else wouldn't) and my supper did taste good that night. Some of our young men and boys who did not "farm" last year, are going at it this year. Then that "13" after the "19" will be a lucky number. It is one of the beut things they. some who are, vSMFother occupation. This is turning over a bright new leaf, 'there are some who sleep at home most every night, I guess' but live around the little towns and railroad stations in the day time about eight months out of the twelve, rain or shine, and if they had "turned over a new leaf", with a stiff resolution, it would look | so much better. This town is accused ; of having an order of "Sons of Rest." There is much changing and movi ing around of hands this season, and | some farms are' without hands, or nearly so, and on some there is scarcely room for them. If a bad season prevents a good crop being made, the average run of hands will want to move off, perhaps thinking the other place will be especially favored with good crops. Sometimes a white man renting will move to better his condition, letting loose from too high rents, and around here on some lands there has been very high rents and that especial land was nothing extra after all; only the "blow" that has been made over it. But some people's eyes have been opened, some anyway. Hey Denver. There may possibly be lawyers in heaven. A lot of us are prepared to be somewhat disappointed when we get there. When woman suffrage becomes general it will be necessary to give a special on election day to get the full vote out. I Wood's Seeds For The Farm and Garden.
