sections to a great extent at present.
1t is found that the amount required
to procure extra labor to do what
should legitimately be done by 'crop
pers" consumes by far the largest
share of the profits of the landowner,
and he justly feels that while the bur
dens of taxation and the social de-
mands of the community rest upon
him his profits are really less than the
interest ON his capital invested, L. d
growing smaller each succeeding year.
This in a measure discouraged the
great bulk of farmers, and many Of
them for awhile ceased to regard heir
estates as thing of profit, but rather
as an encumbrance, locking up tl:eir
capital and clogging their energies.
AS might be inferred, this brought
large quantities of improved land for
would in the Northern States be con-
sidered ruinously low-prices for
which the land could not be opened
and enclosed, to say nothing Of the
cost of farm buildings.
There is one class of farmers, how
ever, that is both prosperous and zap
DIV. Reference is made to the small
farmers who own from 100 to 200
acres, and who perform the farm work
themselves, hiring only occasionally
during the busy seasons. This class
is improving yearly. Their farms de-
note thrift, and they luxuriate in an
abundance of all the necessities and
many of the luXuries of Life. Such
farmers fill up many places in the
South, and wherever they are found
pleasing content prevails. Relying
upon their own strong arm for sup
port, the question of labor does not
affect them. Dependent upon no one,
they form a class upon which the
South must in the end rely for its
solid and permanent advancement.
The march of events is working out
the great problem of labor. 1t was
necessary that something should hap
pen to divorce the Southern people
from the plantation system-a system
that in times past was the very en-
bodiment of economy, energy and pro-
ductive industry-a system that by its
results has moulded the destinies of
nations and diverted streams of cap
ital by the certainty with which it
furnished the products of the earth.
but a system that is not adapted to
free la Dor, that can never be made for
great length of time profitable, and
which must be abandoned sooner or
later by the people of the whole
South. No system yet tried has given
such satisfactory results as the system
of labor and landowner conjoined. In
this every inducement is held out for
practicing economy, for enriching the
soil, for improving the stock, and for
elevating the social and intellectual
status of the farmers. These state
ments apply especially to farms that
are cultivated, not grass farms, nor
stock farms. A thousand acres in a
grass or stock farm will require but
| little more la Dor than one hundred in
tobacco or cotton farm. Additional

The Old Plantation Versus Intensive
Farming.

necessity of adopting more intensive
system of farming and an earnest in
quiry relating to the diversification OF
crops. The evidence of this may be
seen at all the country fairs in the
South, and in the great Centennial
Exposition at Nashville. Among the
most notable exhibits at that eXpOsi-
ton was one made by small farmer
in Georgia, in which he exhibited sew
enty-three crops grown upon farm
of twenty-five acres. The large num-
Der of the crops shown was not the
most striking thing in. this exhibit, for
each one of the products showed that
fertilizati ton in it's growth had been
carried on to very high degrees. Be-
fore the war between the States, the
farmers of the Central South devoted
their energies mainly to the growing
of corn, cotton, tobacco and wheat.
The extreme Southern States grew for
the most part cotton, and in Louisiana
sugar, to the almost entire neglect of
the cereal crops. The agriculture at
that time was carried on by a well-reg-
ulated and well-managed system of
slave labor, and the planters of the
South grew in prosperity and wealth,
and were ranked among the most in
telligent ALI. progressive agriculture
lists Of the world.
The upheavel of the whole social
structure by the emancipation of the
slaves as result of the war, left many
farmers and planters who had been
successful high and dry upon the
shoals of poverty, and they were COM
PEELED, many of them, to enter upon a
new system of labor in which there
were slaves without master and mas
ters without slaves Naturally enough
the plantation system to which the old
planters were accustomed was first
tried, and the high prices for
produce which prevailed Immediately
subsequent to the war gave promise at
first that the old plantation system
would still prove remunerative, but as
the prices of staple products declined,
while expenses of the plantation re-
manned stationary, it was soon discOv-
cred by the planters that some change
was necessary either in the manner of
employing labor or in the character of
the crops to be grown. Then followed
the most pernicious of all the labor
systems ever adopted by an intelligent
community, which for a better name
was called the 'share SYSTEM" by
which the laborer was paid part Of the
crop in the place Of wages. 1t was
thought that this would decrease the
risk of the landowner and at the same
time would apply spur to the ex-
ertions of the laborer With intell1-
gent laborers this probably would
have worked well, but there were so
few of the laborers of the South at the
time intelligent that it proved a stu
pendous failure where a diversity OF
crops was grown. 1t was found that
under this method of employing labor
a farm could not be kept up either i'll
its productive capacity or in the nee
ecssary improvements.

NEW PENITENTIARY WARDEN.

Little Patriotism.


Little Patriotism.
The peTlitentiary directors meet here
Wednesday. 1t will be an important
meeting. i.esides the regular monthly
reports OF officers, the special committee
appointed t., examine the books for the
past four Ttars, with special reference to
the claim that the institution has be-
come sclf sustaining, is to make its re-
port.
Some changes in officers will also be
made, principally in the guard force. Mr..
Thomas Russell, brother of Governor
Russell, will be elected warden, though
he will not take charge at once. Mr..
Russell lives in Robson county. 1t is
given out that the Governor is not in
favor of his taking the place, though
Capt. Smith, the superintendent, is very
anxious to have Mr. Russell accept.
1t is well understood, however that the
Governor has been scheming to get his
brother a job for a month. First. he
was to be Fertilizer Inspector, but Loge
harris and Oino Wilson MADE a trade
by which Otho's cousin was to be FeTtill-
ger inspector and the Governors brother
was to have the position Of Clerk TO the
Railroad Commission. There IS no doubt
that was the trade made. Othos rela-
tive got his job but the Governor s
brother was left out. How the deal mis-
carried win come to light later on. Having
failed to land him the Railroad Commits
SION, thefaithful John II. Smith is called
on to care for him in the penitentiary.
And 1.-THE Governor is not in favor of
it, we are told! There isn't five year
old boy N the State who would swallow

THERE WAS NO FOUL PLAY.
Manly Stepped off the Seaboard Track
on to the Southern.

X is now certain that there was no foul
play in the death of William Manly, the
negro whose head was cut off by n
Southern shifting engine Friday morn
ing. 1t is also now certain just as to
how he met his death.
Engineer Walter Horton, who went
out on the SeabOard vestibule, meeting
the shifter just where the man was found
returned to the city yesterday. He says
he saw Manly on the track just ahead of
him and blew his whistle. The negro
then stepped off the Sea board track on to
the Southern track. In moment the
two engines rushed by each other and
Mr. Horton was unable to tell whether
Manly was struck or not.
