INCONSISTENCIES IN COMMAND.

Raleigh \. c.. September 22.-(Spe-

able trouble with brandy distillers, be-
cause the latter do not report materials
used but secrete these and distill them
in the absence of storekeepers.
Then they hide the brandy in the
woods, intending to market it after the
manufacturing season ends, so as TO eX-
cite less suspicion. Revenue officers say
It is now harder than ever to obtain in
formation regarding the location of il
licit distilleries although under the new
state law county officials are instructed
to suppress these. One man who said
he knew there were half Il dozen illicit
distilleries within ! miles of certain

For Small Farms.

Editor Constitution: AS citizen ~
Georgia and a farmer depending on the
farm for living | want to protest
against the doctrines lately published by
your paper from the pen Of Professor
Phillips and Of Georgia Farmer.
There is no more perniclous system OF

gent emen offer suggestions for controlling
labor in Georgia which. if adopted. would
lead to practical serfdom
Georgia has made rapid progress since
the civil war away from the plantation
system of farming toward the better sys-
TEN of small farms. and it would be
calamity now to return to the old plan,
not only for the sake of the morals In
volvod but because there is no hope for
the laborer ever being better citizen
and ii would as certainly influence the
character of the employers for the bad,

another except at a fair price. Because

too many. The mills make more profit
than the farms and, OF course, can AFFORD
to pay the best wages. The remedy Is
not to import more laborers. but to en-
courage some Of those we already have
to go to the mills and into business. we
already have too few consumers OF larm

almost in every section of Georgia in the
last few weeks'and knows as far as this
state is concerned that this is the case.

Editor Constitution: In quite a num-
her OF the discussions that have APP
peared lately in reference TO the low
wages earned by farm hands there is
one element that has been entirely dis
regarded 1t is almost always the case
that the farm hand. whether cropper
or wages hand, is furnished house to

would appear to be large in comparison
with the earnings of laborers in cities

and luxuries into account when shedding

Prepare Lands Better.

Editor Constitution: \ number of
causes contributing to the present scare
ity of labor for work upon the farms
might be cited. But no matter what
the cause there can be no doubt of the
fact that there is such scarcity How
Is this 20 be rcmedied?
Some have suggested the Introduction
of cooie labor. We have enough ignor-
ance and vice now and we want no more.
The remedy is worse than the evil.
We have fine lands anu climate In

ciusivcly to the tropics can be grown;
lands that are susceptible of a high state
of cultivation. we have the best labor

use Of improved agricultural Implements.

lands to the condition III which they VIII

Crop Short in Texas.

Editor Constitution: We have read
several reports which say that the cot
ton crop of Texas Is very large. We
would like to call attention to the fol-
lowing facts. Texas will not make as
much from the present crop as was
made lest year by 25 per cent, because
of the boil weevil boil worm. caterpil-
lars and the dry weather. People who
rass through Texas by rail and report
900, 900, and even 100000 are no
friends to the farmers and know nothing
about the cotton crop.
1t is very strange to me that the farm
ers, who are the hub on which the wheels
of commerce t, IN, will not organize and
control the price Of their own products.
am sure there is not a merchant or
