Some of their Trials High Rent and
Poor Pay.
EDITOR GAZETTE
1t has been some time since ] last
occupied your columns. Therefore l
ask kindly to be favored with space
enough for tire expression of q few
thoughts.
Sir, for several years have given
some attention to farming. At the same
time have watched the faithful and
thrifty farmers turning the earth over
and cultivating grain and cotton. All
of this seems to be done with ease, and
without complaint by the laborer.-
With the drOuth, and other disadvanta-
ges, some few have made fair living,
and could have done much better but
for the high land rents. The greater
number thus engaged are the sufferers.
Many are left without cent Of money
fer themselves or families. Others are
in debt to some Of the stores. l have
been told by ssme Of eur farmers that
are and have been living on plantat Ons ;
year after year, that they could never
get settlement at the end Of the year
with their landlords, nor a clear receipt
for their store aceOunts.l In some eases
some have forced y settlement. Then
the land owner would infarm the renter
that he was in his debt to the amount
which would take all Of his stock, wa
ges, and many times his little corn. A
father hired his little son to land
owner for year at the rates Of fifteen
N5) cents per day. The bsy and the
hirer had some trouble; the boy left
and was gone about week. His poor
father had to pay tifty cents (5N for
every day the boy lost.
Mr. Editor, these are some of the few
impediments and disadvantages that
have caused 50 many of our farmers to
be broken up and sold out by the sheriff,
and many to leave eur county and State.
Experience and observation have taught
me that, under the present system Of
farming, with credit, mortgages and
liens, failure is inevitable. at least with
the masses. 1t is too crushing and dis
couraging.
Mr.. Editsr, if the present system Of
credit and farming, as 1t has been rep
resented to me, is continued much
longer, we may look to see, in few
years, many plantations growing up in
sage-grass and weeds. What is needed
is cheaper rent and an honest settlement
at the end OF every year. Then we will
see prosperity return to our land, and
an increasing, thriving, prosperous peo-
pie. Let us have-and we must have
it-a '' live and let live" system.
The GAZETTE has spoken, time and
time again, about the extreme high
rents and predicted that the people
would 90 where they could do better
where they can get cheaper rents and
bet ter pay for their labor.
Now, sir. let US look and hope that,
this year, the landboIders will rent
cheaper and pay more for labor.
Very truly yours,
FRANCIS DAVIS.

Why COlsred People Leave South
Carolina.

Discussing the alarming exodus Of.
colorsd people from South Carolina a
leading Charleston paper says edito
rally:
The emigration of colored people
frsm South Carolina to Arkansas
threatens to csmplicate seriously af-
fairs in this State. At this time it is
inprscticabls to tell what the extent
Of the movement, but it is startling to
hear that already entire plantations
have been lett without laborers, and
that the smigrants expect to fare bet
ter in Arkansas than they have done
in this State. The colored people who
20 to Arkansas will most likely find
that they iave been imposed on. 1t
will be the Azor project over again.
Thie, however, is no consolation, press
ent or prospective. The colored peo-
pie are the foundation of the agricul-
tural system Of this State. Without
their labor large part of the State
would remain uncultivated until white
smigrants could be obtained to fill the
gap. White laborers would not be
satis6ed With the wages and rations
which content the colered people,
aud, in seeking while emigrants,
South Carolina is in active competi-
tion with the whole West and with
NEST Of the Southern States. How
much injury can be done by the en-
igrstion sfcolored people is shown by
the alarm and actual distress caused
by the exodus frem Louisiana and
Mississippi Two or three years ago.
The beard proposition is that the col
ored man should be able to live as
we'll in South Carolina as in any other
State. have the same rights and priv
iliges, possess the same means Of ed
ncating bis children, and have as
gsod / chance to become farmer on
his own account. If this is not the
fact, what are the obstacles in the
way, and are they irremovable? The
explanations given by some of the
snigrants to eur Augusta correspon-
dent must, of course, be taken with
considerable allowance. The colored
people are improvident as a class, and
whsn, At tho end of the year, they
fnd that they owe rs much as they
have earned, they are apt to attribute
the result to unfair dealing instead of
y their swn shiftlessness. If they
are imposed on, the circumstances
should he made known. What with
the white emigration and the colored
emigration, it is reasonable to assume
that forces are in operation of which
vs have no sufficient Knowledge. The
firss thing to be done is to get at the
whole truth, and lay bare every sore,
whatever it is. South Carolina needs
additional population, and cannot af-
ford To less = single working citizen.
And TO keep the population we have,
and increase it, every reasonable
grievance must bs removed, and the
State Be made a desirable home for
the eslored mas as well as the white
nan, for the lahorer as well as the
landowner.

Saved HE QharantAr.

A horse-car was proceeding up Shaw
NUT avenue on Saturday afternoon, and
among its freight Of precious human
lives it bore six young men, all irrc-
proachahly dressed, and, to their own
minds at least. of engaging personal
appearance. Bunched up in corner,
also, was man whose linen and COM
plexion gave color TO the opinion that
he was engaged in the plastering trade,
and whose features indicated that he
was of Hibcrnian extraction. The car
was crowded and bumped along slowly,
and presently there entered young
woman of considerable charm Of feat
ures, and looked about for seat. In
stantly the plasterer and the six elabor-
ately-adorned young men got up and i'm
one breath rendered her the choice of
seven separate and distinct seats. She
accepted that which was offered by one
Of the gilded youths, whereupon the
plasterer and the FIVE remaining Young
men sat down again. Presently a color
ed woman with a big bundle came in
and hung on TO strap while the young
men remained in their respective posi-
tions, as If cemented thereto. Thereup-
on the plasterer, after looking up and
down to see that nobody else arose, got
up and said:
''Plaze to take this safe, mum. l of.
fered it to the young Teddy over yander
whin she got in. but she TUX one that

So you take this, for begorra! If l

I've got charackter TO sustain"
And thus speaking, he took his old
T, clothes and kit of tools that ne fished
up from under the seat to the front plat
form. and the youths looked out at him
and gazcd at one another, and knew
not what TO say, and there was silence

How q Whale Breathes,

The windpipe does not communicate
with the mouth; a hole Is. as il were,
bored right through the back Of the
head. Engineers would do well to copy
the action Of the valve of the whale $
blow-hoia; a more perfect piece OF
structure it is impossible to imagine.
Day and night. asleep or awake, the
whale works his breathing apparatns in
such a manner that not drop of water
ever gets down into the lungs. Again,
the whale must of necessity stay n
much longer period Of time under the
water than the seals: this alone might
possibly drown him. inasmuch AS tic
lungs cannot have access To fresh air.
We find that this difficulty has been
anticipated and obviaied by a peculiar
reservoir in The venous system, which
reservoir is situated at the back of the
lungs

A New York paper is in favor of
giving every Indian ga chunk Of
land.'' We think that this must be
a typographical error. 1t should
have read that the editor was in favor
Of giving every Indian s'a chunk Of
lead The compositor forgot to
lead the article properly. Giving
each Indian q Chunk Of lead would
be the saving Of . great amount Of
gold to the American people. On
the other hand, it would perhaps be a
little severe on the Indian agents,
army contractors, and the members
Of the Indian ring at Washington. A
cold winter is approaching, and it
seems cruel to cut down a member
Of the Indian ring to one diamond
hreastpin, but we are, nevertheless.
in favor of each and every Indian
having q liberal chunk Of lead. As
the Indian has no vote, we think we
redect the sentiment Of the wealth
and intelligence Of the people on this
question.
