AN v I GROWING.
s.The Habit of Advancing Money to
Colored Laborers Threatens Agri-
cultural welfare of the State"

The now common practice Of advanc-
ing money to negro wage bands in the
effort to secure their service as labor
ers on the farm is an evil, and as
great an evil in its scope as was the
right Of universal and unqualified
suffrage, such a SO nearly wrecked
and ruined the So.th for many years
following tho civil war. 1t is an evil,
the practice of which has already de-
moralize1 negro labor, and it's eject is
being felt to a degree that threatens
the downfall of agriculture and the
consequent prostitution OF cur South
ern Institution. This evil, we be-
liers-have been told--had IFS origin
in our own county, Laurens, some
twenty-five or more years ago, and has
since men grown steadily and has
spread all over the State. and is still
spreading. 1t has brought about a
condition that a white farmer. no
matter how Inviting and how fruitful
his soil, aud no matter how bsdly be
may need help to seed. cultivate and
harvest his crops, need not for a mo-
ment foster tile hope of hiring a ne
gro, no matter how hungry, how
ragged and dependent the negro may
be, without first putting up a cash
bonus-advaucing a stated and de-
manded amount In order to secure at
least the promise that the applicant
will on a certain day begin work upon
the fnanceering landlords prem
ises.
And seven times out of ten or at not
q badly dissimllar ratio the negro. after
securing the cash demanded, moves on
and 'ssells'' himself to another and an
other farmer. thus dup-ng a good long
string Of unwary and unsuspecting
landowners. only to skip for parts IN
known, or else land in limbo, to be
bought by the farmer possessing the
longest pole"
Thus the country is o%verridden by
an endless chain of negro dead beats
while the farmer, dlsgusted at the
painful outcome, of his own folly, tries
to find an asylum in town or is COM
PEELED to sacrifice his meagre belong
lpgs and seek a place of refuge in the
wiida IF the est.-Clinton Gazette.

Raises Pork for 3 Gents a Pound.

One of your readers makes the in
quiry as to how I feed my pigs from
the time they are taken from the
mother till ready to slaughter. have
q small place In The pasture or in the
pen, if in winter time, fenced off SO the
little pigs can run III and out as they
please, but the old hogs, cannot get
into the pen. / place milk in it so the
can get it when two weeks
old unless there is a small litter
and the mother SOY has ali they
want.
When ! do not have milk for all
of the pigs I make a thin slop of homi-
ny meal. When the pigs are five weeks
old / take two of the best ones away
from the SOW /; in a few days I take a
few more away and so on till all the
pigs are taken off the SOW. Then /
feed the little ones four OF five times
q day all they will eat and eat up
clean Of hominy meal and good, clean
water mixed up so it is thin till they
get started a little, or in other words,
till they are about eight weeks OLD;
then ! gradually add more meal SO es
to make the slop thicker.
AS they grow older I drop out q of
their leeds until they are fed three
tines q day. After this they get a
thick hominy slop morning and night
and for dinner / soak whole corn for
them. I put ths-corn in the food pail
and Fill the pail with water at noon
the next day at noon that is fed to
them and another mess put to soaking
for the following day.
If tits winter and ! have a few ap-
pies, or roots, / give them some once
in awhile just to sharpen their appe
titles. If il is in summer (which is
the time to fatten pigs I give them a
pasture to run in. l never keepia pig
