AN ExoDUs OFEARM LAND.
Seven Thousand to Ten Thousand La
borers Eesvs North CAroiina FOR Othe1
States.

=
RALEIGHe N. g., March l0.--Since the
first OF the year not less than 1000 and
probably i0,0OOlaborers have LEFT North
Carolina for The states South and for Ar
kansas, and there Is now demand for
farmhands that cannot besuppliad. The
cause for th IL exodus Is 10 be found in the
lien laws, the system Of farming and the
bad crops Of the past three years. A lien
is given by the law 10 labOrers who max G
the crop in preference % all other liens,
and another section OF the code gives any
merchant who makes advances for agrI-
cultural purposes a lien in preference 20
all others.
The frequent result Of these conflicting
sections is that the landlords make their
liens 70 the merchants before they engage
their labOrers for the year, and the adj
Vances to the Landlords consume the en-
tire crop and the lab0rers get only such
amount OF their wages ns they have been
paid during the year, which Is generally
about half. and they lose the other half
Then the landlord is given a statutory
lien on the crops Of his tenants and crop
pers, and nothing can be removed or sold
BY the tenant or cropper before the rent Is
paid. Nearly every tenant and crOpper
Is compelled 10 get his advances from a
merchant In order 70 make the crop, and
they are charged time prices, which range
from 20 N 100 per cent advance on the
prices paid by the merchant.
Almost the entire crop II cotton. and
the farmer buys bis meat, grain and for
axe from the merchant. Labor Is becOm-
ing scarcer aud cotton Is going lower
each year, and the bad crops Of the past
three years have created a depression In
business matters never before seen or felt
IN this state. Real estate has Deprecated
a. least 30 per cent. In value, and capital.
lists who have money will not loan At this
time.
During the past two years the farmers
have been experimenting with tobacco.
but the prices are 40 low that there IL
great complaint that no money IL 70 be
made In the culture oi tobacco. The
wheat, oats, rye and barley sOwed last
fall IL all reported 70 have been killed out
by the extra0rdi nary severe weather Of
the winter. Il ~ TOO late 10 SOW wheat,
and the farmers are sowing again oats
rye and barley. More small grain was
sOwu last fall than ever before IN the his
tory Of the state, but the killiDg out By
the cold weather VIII cause the crop, even
with a good season from now on, - DO a

Undoubtedly this year, from now until

will be the hardest ever seen By the peo-
pie Of this state.

Conforming Convict Labor.

ntvHe MgUNtAtW iFnsI oNeCkns
At a meeting OF the citizens Of Stone
Mountain and vicinity, the following res
0lutiOns were unanimously adopted:
That 10 Is the sense Of this meeting that
the employing Of convict labor at the ex-
clusiou Of free labor. by any class OF citi-
zens Is clearly wrong Ia principle, unjust
70 honest artisans, mechanics aud labor
ers. who rely on honest toll for a living.
That we view with alarm that system
Of legislation which makes II possible for
few favored partisans 70 hold and con-
troll large numbers OF cOnvicts in compe-
titiOn with free labor In the various In
dnetries Of the country.
That We feel that we cannot too severely
condemn the present chain-gang system.

Clerks i'm Shoe Stores.

"Most men are very inquisitive when
they enter n shoe store. said n sales
man in big store to New York Mail
and Express reporter, land If there Is
woman within view trying on 4 shoe
the performance is sure to receive their
closest attention. But they would get
over that soon if they were around very
much. and if they had to wait on the
customers themselves they would soon
be bored At this store. however, we
have women clerks, rs you see, and the
men are relieved from their romantic
duty, if YOU insist upon viewing it in
that light"
How are these young women doing
as clcrks?'
"Oh, pretty well, but as yet we regard
it simply as an experiment, although we
have mad them quite while now. 1t
is simply n question of business policy,
and if it shall appear that majority of
our lady customers prefer their own
sex they will be rctained otherwise not.
myself am inclined TO think that there
is a large demand for women clerks in
this line, and that particular stores will
always have them. although do not
anticipate that all the stores will do so,
by any means"
"Do most ladies, then prefer women
clerks?"
Not by any means 1t requires a
great deal of strength in hand and arm
to force a closc-iitting shoe snugly in
TO place, and man can do that much
better than n woman. But some women
are so prudish that it makes them ncr-
vous TO have man fussing around
their feet that way, and then there are
others who, without being the least bit
silly about the matter, are so genuinely
modest that they dislike the assistance
of Il man. But there are great many
others who tell their friends how annoy
ing it is TO be compelled to have a man
serve them in shoe store who really
enjoy the annoyance, and who will
keep handsome young clerk working
over them until he is all worn out, long
after they have actually made up their
minds what TO purchase. This is what
makes shoe clerk swear--to himself, -
and it is only a very green specimen
who does not become disguised. [
think, therefore, that some places will
always have women clerks and others
men. Some stores have tried the eXperi-
ment of keeping both, but even a lady
who decidedly prefers TO have Il gentle
man wait on her does not like to Sc
lect a young man when there is wo-
man clerk standing by, and she will
probably take pains TO avoid that store
another time. y
How do the male clerks regard the
introduction of the womenP"
Generally with entire favor, unless
it happens to cause the loss of their
positions. Almost any old clerk would
rather wait on man than woman.
1t takes a great deal more time and
trouble and hard work to serve wo-
man than man. A man usually
knows what he wants, and is easily
satisfied. A woman merely knows what
she does not want, and rs that embra-
ces about everything in the store it is
simply n choice of evils TO be made
after much labor and worry OF course
the clerk is blamed for any mistake the
customer finally makes. Yes, | think
the men are perfectly willing that the
women clerks should attend to the
women"
