renting, was great deal better Tor

makes it easy for them to rent aud
thereby encourages them in Il.
Another blunder in the same di'
reetion is the priority and security
to the landlord who advances sup
plies to his tenants. Now the ten
ant has two chances TO get sup
plies, and is thereby too independ-
ent of those who would like to
control his labor, and should be
able to do il, and would do it but
for the hindranee of these unwise
laws. A tenant may get supplies
from u merchant by giving him q
deed Of trust on his property and
crop to be made, with power to
sell on ten days notice in default;
or he may obtain advances from
his landlord under the law without
Il deed of trust.

Another View Of the Landlord. and
Labor Relations.

Plantersville, Miss, Sept. lS, 1881.
To the Editor of the Comet;
While others are telling of evils
in our legislation which needs cor
rection, and their remedy, ! pro-
pose to tell what | think about one
matter, and that is the wasted and
declining condition of the country
with fences gone, fields quilted,
bitches and drains filed and grown
over with briars and brushes,
buildings dilapidatcd and things
generally ont of order. The cause
of it all is that the land owners can
not control the labor to cultivate
their lands aud keep up fences, and
ditch and clean mp. If they could
they would have things right on
their own plantations. But ever
since the war there has been con-
tinued legislation against the land
onwers, and in the interest, as sup
posed, of those who are without
land, who are principally negroes.
/, The Agricultural Lien Law of 1867,
was the first mistake in that direc-
ton, and it has been followed ever
since. 1t works this way: A
great many who have land cannot
furnish supplies and carry on their
. plantations, and desire to lease
them, and the law, pandering to
, the laborers who have votes, and
little else, denies any exemption
g as against rent, and the landless
;. are thus made in a measure indie
=, pent Of those who wish to hir,
;, them, and they are not willing :,
:, hire themselves and families I,
n work on plantations under the di
- rection Of the owners or the over
/, seers. Consequently the doome,
~ land owner, unable to procur
:. hired labor, is driven to lease hi
i. land to those who want it. A fe'
-. cultivate on shares, very few &C
. laborers for wages, but by far th
- larger part lease their lands, wit
:, poor cultivation, neglect, vast
ao and dilapidation. 1t has all CON
of making laws to favor labor
the expense of capital. Our legi
!. lators have tried to make the ]
Ia boring class Independent of Il
ion land owners, whereas the true ]
;so terest of all requires that the
,ho borcrs should be compelled to d
,s;. pend on those who need their
hos Dor, and who would hire them al
inc direct their labor to promote !
ha best results for all; or rather lab'
nth crs should be left by law to tn
,cb natural dependence on those W
are need their services. 1t would
.;on much the best for the laborers W
oo have no land to hire for wages
flee the employ of those able and "
,,rt ing to employ them. They DO
rt tnow their true interest, and ait

The Insane Cry Of illumination and
Fraud.
HOW TO STOP 1T.
[('larion.l


The Crisis, the Mississippi Re-
publican, and all the fusion organs
and speakers declare that the par
amount issue of the canvass is a
free ballot, a fair count, and a vote
as full as the qualified voters OF the
State choose to make it. They harp
upon Campbclrs Code, (which, by
the way, ought not to be consider
ed in the light of a party measure)
but their slogan is "a fair elec-
tion.n Affecting to believe that
the opposers of the Democratic
party have not been accorded the
right of full vote, a free ballot
and fair count, they have made
it the burden of their song, and
have left us to infer that if secured
in the enjoyment of this right, as
good, aw.abiding people, they VIII
cease from troubling and acquiesce
in what they know to be the eco
nomical, conservative, and patrl
otic rule of the Democracy. We

IMMIGRATION.
Yazoo IIcrald.I

Yazoo Herald.
There is an impression quite gen
raj that the next Mississippi Leg
stature will be composed in great.
II part Of men who have an appre-
,iatiyc sense OF tho needs of the
state, and the will to supply such
wants by appropriate legislation in
The interest ofprogress and in obe-
lience to the voice Of the spirit of
the times. Upon one matter they
are all agreed, and it is one rela'
ting to immigration. The State
is doing nothing worth speaking
of to direct the eyes of immigrants
who come to this country by thous-
ands every month, in this direction
that they might see u soil unsur'
passed for its fertility and cheap
ness, and as it is doing now, 80 II
has always done. A change ior
the betten tn this regard must take
place, and will unless the next Leg
islature falls greatly below public
expectations Think oft! During
the month Of August 33,SlOimmi-
grants arrived in this country, and
during the eight months, ending
August 3lst, 31S,475 immigrants ar
rived. Now out ofthat great army
of immigrants how many do you
think Mississippi roceived' A few
families scattered here and there
in the State were all that fell to heI
lot. And the reason of this ma.
be found in the fact, that we have
no Bureau of immigration in TIN
State armed with the means, III
similar Bureaus in other States ar
to make its influence felt, and con
seauently the one We have IL neltl'

AYERS CATHARTIC PILLS are the best Of all pur-
gatives for family use. They are the product of
long, laborious and successful chemical investi.
CATION, and their extensive use, by Physicians in
their practice and by all civilized nations, proves
them the best and most etiectual purgatve Pill
that medical science can devise. Being purely
vegetable, no harm can arise from their use. In
intrinsic value and curative powers no other pills
can be compared with them, and every person,
knowing their virtues, will employ them when
needed. They keep the system in perfect order,
and maintain in healthy action the whole ma
chinery Of life. Mild, searching and ctiectual,
they are specially adapted to the needs Of the di-
gestive apparatus, arrangements of which they
prevent and cure, If timely taken. They are the
best and safest physic to employ for children and
weakened constitutions where mild but eticc.
tual cathartc is required.
