who owns his land appreciates

who owns his land appreciates
the value Of his seed, the man
who rents does not; it makes no
difference to him, he wants all
he can get off from the land,
and when it gets poor he can
move to some other place and
impoverish it. In this way the
lands will depreciate in value,
and the owners will be the suf-
ferers. We therefore contend, as
a matter of self defense, our
land owners should put a stop
to the sale of seed from the
lands they rent. There are
some owners of land now, who
stipulate in their rent agree
ments that the seed must be put
back into the ground and the re-
suit is that the renters on these
places are prosperous, have
good credit, and make very de-
sirable tenants. They pay their
debts, keep good stock, make
good crops, and merchants are
anxious to do business with
them.

A Cottontot's Complaint.

To the Editor of The News & Couri-
er: In common with hundreds of cot
tontots, whose fields are white for the
harvest. protest against the selfish
greed OF those railroad corporations
that organize at this season annually
big negro excursions to the various
cities. These excursions each carry
over FIVE hundred greatly needed cot
ton-pickers from our fields, whose Ia
Dor is lost for three days: for they are
so excited and enthusiastic over the
anticipated trip that the day previous
is consumed in discussing it, and plan
ming ways and means of getting to the
depot, and they straggle in the day
after about midday from the various
stations-most of the men recovering
from debauch and the women tagged
out.
There is nothing so demoralizing to
the negroes as these excursions, and
their own Bishops have denounced
them in the pulpit and press.
We would not debar our brothers in
black from all reasonable enjoyment
and delight to see them at circus,
where we haul them free in large plan
tation wagons and give them the day
to attend; for they return the same
evening in finest spirits, and for weeks
after, with their wonderful powers OF
mimicry, sing the songs and tell the
Jokes of the old clowns, to the delight
OF the entire field of cotton-pickers.
This is no local "kick." 1t voices
the indignation of every cotton planter
whose fields lay within five miles OF
that excursion train as it swept through
the counties of Orangeburg, Claren-
don, Sumter and Williamsburg on its
way to the city by the sea.
The negroes say there will be one to
Columbia in two weeks, with the same
delightful results to us in the gather
ering of our crops.
What would like to ask is why can
not these excursions be postponed un-
til the time Of the State Fair, which
they would materially help, and the
crop be virtually gathered, and then
run several just before Christmas and
during that week to Charleston:
In view of the high freight we pay
on hundreds of thousands OF tons OF
fertilizers, and equally high charges
on the eleven million bales which, &C
cording to the ''bears," the said fertl..
lizers have made, and the long haul OF
ali the meat and corn from the West it
took to pay for its cultivation, it does
seem it would be the true policy OF the
railroads to allow its early harvest, and
not leave it a field, subject to equino-
ctial devastation and storms.
If the roads are going to persist IN
getting up junketing trips for our, Ia
borers during harvest, causing a loss
of their services for three days conse-
cutivelys they should have the candor
to tell US so in time to prevent our max
inc ARRANGEMENTS to trouble them with
so much fertilizers and cotton in future.

a COTTON SEED MEAL WAR LOOKED FOR.

We learn there is about to be-
Gin a lively war between the
cotton oil mill syndicates, and
the indications are that those
who place their orders for meal
early may not get advantage of
the fight. That there is SOM
thing in the rumor is evident,
because the manufacturers are
doing all they can to get their
goods placed before the trouble
begins. It will be remembered
that heretofore they were very
reticent as to what meal would
sell at, until they got ready to
put it on the market, now they
are working a new scheme by
trying to make contracts in ad-
vance. We are not familiar
with the situation at all, but
from appearances it strikes US
that those who make their meal
contracts now will not get the
benefit of the active competition
we look for. The combines will
have to do one or two things,
60 together and fix the price, or
fight each other. The question
then for the people to decide is
whether it will pay to wait and
see. They have one advantage,
if they refuse to sell their seed
as they should, they can afford
to wait, because if the combines,
combine and force up the price
of meal, they will be indepen.
dent of them by using the seed
instead of selling them. 1t
would in our opinion, be a God
send to the farmers of this coun-
try We're the combines to force
the price of meal out of their
reach: it would lthen compel
them to take some action to re-
sist what we regard a curse to an
agricultural community. If the
sale of seed continues the rented
lands will become so depleted
that they will not rent for enough
to pay for the investment. A
great many land owners are
hauling their seed back home,
but the tenants sell, the man

GET AFTER TAX-DODGERS.

Col. August kOhn IN his cor
respondence to the News &
Courier, recommends to our
LEGISLATORS the knotty problem
of tackling the tax question,
and we agree with him in part.
It would be profitable and states
manlike if our legislators would
devise a means to do away with
the necessity for borrowing $500
1000 every year to run the State
government. The income to
the State is away beyond what
it used to be; the fees turned IN.
to the Office of Secretary of
State, for charters are growing
larger every year. The reven-
ues from the penitentiary and
State farms, the enormous turn
in from the dispensary; it strikes
US that with all of these sources
of income there would be a sui
fcient amount of money to not
only keep the State machinery
well creased, but a surplus to
go toward the bonded debt.
We see no reason for the de-
fciency for $500, 1000, there must
be bad management and extrava-
gance somewhere. The State
Government ran along very
Smoothly in the eighty's and it
did not have the tremendous
revenues it has now; true we
did not have Clemson and Win
terop to absorb a part of the
revenue but deduct the appro-
priations of these institutions
and then the question can be
asked, where does the States
money go that it needs to borrow?
Colonel Kohn seems to think
the way out of the woods is to
raise the tax levy or the assess
ment. Here's where we do not
agree with him. The more
money raised the more extrava:
gance, and the more the bad
management. The State al
lows the Treasurer to borrow
100000 and he borrows it; If
the State permitted the borrow
inc of million dollars way
would be found to utilize the lin
it. No, taxes are high enough.
the people who own little are
taxed heavily-they bear the
burden. What is needed is a
plan to make the wealthy pay
their just proportion of the taxes.
How many owners OF stock IN
corporations, bonds and money,
pay their honest share to the
government? The farmer with
his lands, implements, and stock
pays taxes on every thing ne
has, but the merchant, the bank
er, and the speculator, return
and pay on not over 50 per cent.
If some legislator could devise a
scheme which would make this
tax-dodging class disgorge, he
would write himself famous on
the pages of the States history.
Under our tax laws a man may
have one million dollars in cash
and the State would not get one
cent of taxes out of it, but on
the other hand, if a poor man
owns a mich COW to give nour-
ishment to his half starved child,
the State demands a tax. This
is unjust, and a discrimination
in favor of the rich. Taxes are
plenty high; make the people
who have a plenty and are max
ing more pay what they honest
" owe and we will have a sur
plus in our treasury.
