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.
