LABOR CONTRACTS NO GOOD.

lhe decision IN the United
States District Court by his
Honor Judge William Il. Braw-
ley, declaring the penalty pro-
vision Of Section 357 OF the Grim
inal statutes of South Carolina
unconstitutional, is no surprise to
US. Our readers, perhaps: re-
member we nave long contended
for some modification of our ag-
ricultural labor contract laws,
expressing the opinion that if
the law ever reached a court for
a decision it would result in its
being declared unconstitutional.
We have been SO conv.Cced Of
such a result that in the last ses-
sion of the legislature we at
tempted to get an act passed
which would have been some
protection to the employer from
the evil effects of the present
method of operating agricultural
labor contracts. The prevailing
methods are so oppressive that
in the many instances it amounts
to peonage and so dishonest that
it amounts to blackmail. often
subjecting the honest employer
of farm labor to be victimized.
And, too, large part of the re
sponsibility for these evils can
be traced to magistrates who
lend themselves and their Offices
to extort money and to Cypress.
The enactment of our agricul-
tural labor contract laws were
well intended, the purpose was
to afford some protection from a
class of unreliable laborers, a
class that would start a crop, get
in debt and then leave the indul-
gent employer helpless and
ruined, but in the operation of
this law, designing men without
regard for consequences. soon
found an opportunity to make
money, even if their neighbors
and friends were made to suffer;
they took advantage of the op
portunity. and with the aid Of
the magistrates, blackmailed
their neighbors right and left.
It was not unusual for a farmer
to be forced to pay his neighbor
a sum Of money to save u plow-
man from the changing, nor
was it unusual to find fields
white with cotton and becoming
storm-ruined because the hands
on the place were on some other
plantation picking cotton to pay
a debt for an account or money
borrowed.
Then, again, cases have come
under our observation where an
employer, in order to keep from
paying his plowman, would,
when the crop was laid by, make
1t so disagreeable for the en-
ployee that he was forced to
leave. and, if he attempted to
collect the pay due him ior his
work he would be indicted for
breach of contract and sent to
the changing. The law afforded
many opportunities to swindle,
it gave the trlfing laborer the
chance to get in debt to a half
dozen or more: and then jump
the debt, leaving those who ad-
vanced with the bag to hold.
This law also made the tenantry
uncertain, because it was com.
mon practice for a man to make
a small advance to another's
tenants and make it a condition
of the loan that the borrower
must move upon the plantation
OF the lender, and it was a mat
ter Of considerable frequency
that landowners found their
lands without tenants because of
not having any notice that those

HOME RUN RESULTS
In A RUN HOME

No Cleveland rooter has ever been
found to compare with a fellow who
came out to see the deciding game in
heartrending series between the old
White Stockings club and the Reds of
Cincinnati, along in the '70s.
1t was in the ninth inning that big
Mart King of the Chicago club, with
two out and the bases full. drove a
mighty home run over the fence, win
ming the game beyond a shadow of a
doubt, and the $4,000 persons present
went crazy.
In the midst of the demonstration a
man was seen wildly fighting his way
through the throng to where a hand
some woman stood, screaming her en-
thusiasm. He put his arms around
her and she reciprocated. A resounding
smack added to the turmoil as their
lips met.
Later it developed that the two had
been man and wife. but had been di-
vorced some years before. In the en-
thusiasm of that home run they made
up and left the grounds, arm in arm,
smiling bliSsfully.

Inc day Able arrived from San Fran

ager McCarey has stated that Gus Her

of the Pacific Athletic club, and thus
the situation stands.
Attelrs reason for saying Robinson
lies in the fact that the latter rendered
his decision in the face of a demon
stration for Baker.

for Robinson:

Obliged to make hay when the sun

or less regular training has left them
in very fair condition.

partners he intends making a gruelling
battle. Any one who has witnessed the
boys in action realizes that Attelrs
greatest possibilities with Baker will
lie in an ability to mix matters furi-
ously. 1t will be remembered that dur
ing their last contest Abe let loose
during several rounds, but only within
a few seconds of the gong. This was
probably due to a knowledge that he
was not in the best of condition and
he harbored his strength accordingly.
That Baker will make the weight
easily enough there Is small doubt He
is naturally heavier than, Attell, but
under careful supervision may be ex-
pected to reach the poundage without
