Mr.. Cochran. the United States dis
trict attorney, made the following
statement in regard to the opinion of
judge Hrawlry rs to Labor contracts: :
Il do not think that Judge Braw-
ley'S decision will Interfere with the
labor Of South Carolina to any great
extent His decision merely means
that the South Carolina law 10 prose-
cnto criminally Il person or persons
who break their labor contract is uu-
constitutional, but if there is any 9TH
er LEGAL remedies t" enforce the con-
tracts. Judge Brawlcy's decision will
not affect that. His decision merely
pertains 10 the criminal Sidc''
What Mr.. Cochran says is correct,
hut the trouble Of il is. the labor
which we have in the south. unfor-
tunatcly. has not yet reached the
point where it appreciates the sacred
ness "f an obligation and unless there
is some method other than the civil
contract it is very doubt ful if the
people will be able to control this la
bor.
As We have said elsewhere. we be-
licvc the opinion "f Judge Rrawlcy
is cmin"ntly v correct. and eventually
will be for the best interest of our
agricultural people. The land OWL
ors. however. will have to change
their method somewhat. and there will
have Ia be a penalty Of some sort
against cnticing labor from one farm
ton another.

Elephants as Lahorers.

Most amusing is it to see one of
these working elephants tackling
huge squared log and placing it on the
stack. First of all he estimates it's
length and weight as it lies on the
ground. Then he digs his tusks under
it at one end, curls his trunk over and
tries to drag one end of the log on to
his tusks. Should he find the task be-
yond him, he will give a queer little
trumpet note, and up comes a col
league to help him at the other end.
In a moment the two elephants have
swung the big log between them, walk
in step TO the pile, and then one Of
them, apparently by preconcerted
agreement, places his end in position
on the stack, while the other rams
