Tho amouuto 81 labor usually done
On the farms In the South by each
hand, il less than in amy uthcr Part
of the United States. The season
ior labor Is longer, and hence the
advantage to the laborcr, as be can
obtain wages for all the year instead
Of only about six months, asis the
case in colder climates.
The white man IAN labor in thi,
climate with AZ little detriment to
his health MS in q colder climate.
Working from daylight until sun
down is not necessary TO cultivate
the ordinary crops of the country,
and Is not required or done. There
is no farm on which there is not
two or three or more hours lost in
the heat of the day in the summer
months. This was the case even in
the times of slavery.
The food usually eaten by the la
borers in this country is good and
wholesome. The bread ismadcmost-
" ofcorn.meal, and all mcdicalmen
agree that it makes healthy bread;
the meats used are principally hog
and beef, while molasses, sugar,
coffee, potatoes, sweet and Irish, form
some of the chief dishes on the poor
mans table. The poor man has, in
the summer season, vegetable din
ncrs ofwhich q prince might boast,
and this with but little labor,which is
the only cost. W. ask, Is not veg
etablc diet healthy in the summer?
Fruits, such asapples, peaches, pears
plumbs and cherries grow well and
are raised generally and in great
abundance in the South.
THE PRICE OF LABOR IN THE SOUTH.
Labor, like almost every thing
else, is governed by supply and de-
mand. AS an evidence that the
supply is small and the demand
great, look at the cxertions now be-
ing made, to obtain labor in the
South. We ask, can wages be low
when nearly every tarmeryou meet
wants, and is seeking laborers?-
Can wages be lower than in Illinois,
where there are large numbers Of
laboring men seeking employment
in vain and emigrating to the
South to find it, while here, all can
get homes, and there are homes va
cant? The idea is simply redich-
lous.
Churches are in every neighbor-
hood. and the gospel is preached,
with few exceptions, every Sabbath
and frequently during the week.
Protractad meetings are held in
reach of all during the leisure times
in the summer months. The labor
ing man has rs much time to attend
church here, in the week, rs any
where else.
Free schools are established, and
being established, in every State in
the South for the poor children of
both the white and the black races.
In most States the schools are sep
aratc, as twill be best forboth races.
The Southern farmer is rs soc,a-
bic as any man in the world, and
there Is Is little aristocracy here rs
any place on the globe. All men
who arc honest and honorable are
respected here, and their families
are a~likctreated courteous and kind
ly,lt makes no difference how poor
the man may be. The line between
the capitalist and the laborer, speak
lngin a social sense, has never been
drawn as distinctly here as in the
