The Labor Question

JOHN y. ToBIH, lGaq., of Blackville, S. c.
furnishes the following article on the "labor
question to the +" Charleston Courier"
With labor hired by the year, whether for
wages or part Of the crop. the cost of the
cultivation Of an acre Of Cotton is not less
than fifteen dulIars of Corn not less than ten
.l..ll""S
Now instead Of planting four acres, suppose
every planter rest lets his operations to one
acre lie would then spend fifteen dollars on
the acre Of Cntton and ten dollars on the acre
OF Corn, having in hand or under his control
the torty.fve dollars that would have been cx-
pended on the other three acres of Cotton,
and thirty dollars on the other three acres of
Corn. Let ona-half Of these amounts be cxpcn
dcd IN labor, applying vegetable matter from
the woods on the one acre There would still
bc IN hand twenty two and half dollars for the
Cotton and fifteen dollars for tho Corn. Let
these sums be expended on the one acre of
Cotton and Corn respectively, in commercial
fertilizers, VIZ: euano phosphatcs, and the
like, part applied broadcast before or after
planting. and part nndcr the seed The
probable result would be that the one acre
would produce more than the four, at the same
cost OF cultivation, and that Que acre would
be permanently improved one hundred per
cent by the manuring and the ether three
acres twenty-five per cent by resting.
Now what would be the obvious effect, of
this change of system, Oil the demand for Ia.
bor and consequently on wages? 1t will be
perceived at once, that thrce-eighths of the
agricultural work would be dispensed with,
not only of hands, hut of hoofs If 14O 900
negroes now find employment on the farms
and plantations Of South Carolina, on their
own terms as to quantity of work on this
plan $1,000 of them would be all that would
DC demanded, leaving surplus of 50 500,
from which could be drawn, when needed, a
snllicicncy to gather in the cotton crop in good
order. Hence, beyond question. there would
be an abundant supply of cheap labor cocrc
cd ns all effective free labor is, all over tho
world by the fear OF starvation, to give salts.
faction to their employers.
York DIsrRIor CouRr.-Sincc tho or
ganizaton of this Court on the 18th ut., by
Judge Beatty, eight c,ses of crime and mis-
demcanor have been bought before it, and dis
posed of, including fifteen persons accused
of these crimes. Two were upon hnbeus co,pus.
one upon peace warrant. and five for petty
larceny. In each Of these cases the accused
were in the custody of the jaior.
When it is remembered that each prisoner
cost sixty cents per diem, the amounts saved
to the State, by this mode of administering
justice, are important Each prisoner releas
cd, would, If retained until March, have in
volvcd a cost of over sixty dollars to the State
