to the agricultural interests OF the
South. TIE msjor portion of farm
labor belongs to an unreliable ard
class, whose con-
tracts are worth but little without
some means of enforcing u COM
.pliance with the terms thereof. 1t
was realization of this that led
to the enactment of the law ID
this state which provides punish
ment for each and every violation
of labor contract.
Should Judge B-awley's decis-
ion be sustained by the higher
court, laborer who has received
advances in money or supplies
can leave the premises at will,
violate his contract, and the far
mer will have absolutely no re-
dress under the law, nc means OF
enforcing a compliance with the
terms of the contract.
Such a condition as this would
cause the land owners and at least
a portion of the laboring class to
suffer. Farmers will have no
means of binding labor for any
de6rite time, nor would they have
any way of securing advances
should any be made to wages
hands or troopers. On the other
hand, the masses of colored peo-
pie have absolutely no resources
except their labor, and under the
new conditions 1T will be difficult
To obtain advances, however great
their need, until the actual SER
vice has been rendered.
If farm laborers of the South
were reliable aud good fer their
contracts, no such law as that de-
clared unconstitutional by Judge
Brawley would be necessary. The
conditions here, however, differ
from those of other sectiops of the
country and laws have to be en-
acted 10 meet these conditions.
Therefore, let no one be unduly
alarmed. If the decision stands.
the very exigency of the case will
cause the lawmakers of this state
to devise some means of protect
ing the farmers against a shift,
less, unreliable class of labor.

Money in Long Staple Cotton.

AS great number of The Ad-
vertiser's readers are interested IN
the culture Of long-staple cotton,
having planted a portion of 'heir
crop in this variety, we publish
fo, their benefit portion of q
pape, prepared by student of the
senior class of Clemson College,
which appeared in the News and
Courier. 1t is as follows:
"For the past three years a Sc
ries of experiments with upland
lorg staple cottos has been car
ried on on the plantation of MIR.
7. H. Klugh, in Greenwood coun-
ty. The object of these experiments
was to compare the yield per acre
and the net profit OF loss of grow
ing the upland long staple with
the growing Of the ordinary short
staple. The Woolly-seeded Blue
Ribbon was the variety of long
staple used, while the Bates I'm
proved was the variety of short
staple. A piece of rich sandy loan
was selected, and two acres were
accurately measured off and then
this was divided in half. The land
was broken in the fall with sub
soil plough to a depth of from II
to Is inches. Iu the spring it was
laid off with the rows 8 1-2 feet
wide, and fertilizer, an. S-4-4 goods,
composed of mixture of acid,
meal and kainit, was applied at
the rate of six hundred pounds
per acre. This was bedded on and
planted in the usual way, one acre
being planted in Blue Ribbon, the
other with Bates Improved 1t
was planted on the 10th of May,
to ap,ing of 1904 wss rather
te Seth acres received the same
cultivation and at the same time.
The yield from the short staple
was 1,415 pounds of seed cotton,
turning out ATS pounds of lint,
while the yield from the long sta
pie was 1852 pounds of seed cot
ton, turning out 455 pounds of
lint. The short staple was sold for
10 IA cents per pound, the bale
bringing a total of $48.69. The
long staple was sold for 13 1-2
cents per pound, the bale bringing
SOL. 43, giving o total profit above
the short staple of $12.74 per acre.
"In 1905 the experiment was
carried on in the same manner ae
in 1904, but, owing to the weather,
the quality of the lint was some
what damaged, and a premium of
only 8 cents per pound was cotton
for the long staple, giving a profit
over the short staple of $11.35 per
acre, the yield being practically
the same as in 1904.
''In 1905 the same experiment
was performed, and this time the
long staple gave a yield of 1858
pounds of seed cotton per acre,
turning out 625 pounds of lint,
which was sold fer 1912 conts per
pound, the bale bringing $115.63,
while the short staple acre pro-
duced a bale weighing All pounds,
which brought 1912 cents per
pound, the bale bringing $43.16,
giving a profit for the long staple
over the short staple of $72,47 per
acre. This was probably due. to
some extent, to the weather, as the
growing season of 1906 was ex-
ceptionally rainy. This shows con-
cIusively that upland long staple.
cotton pays profit of consider
able amount as compared with
short staple, and it is the belief of
the writer that in a few years the
major portion of the cotton grown
in upland South Carolina will b.
of the upland long staple class. >

and they receive from the state ap-
preparation some three hundred to
ri%hi hundred dollars, or an avtrayc
of five hundred dollars. Under that
Act. as we recall it, only two high
schools can be established i'm any one
county during any one year.
The statement Of Mr.. Martin is
that only about fifty per cent of the
appropriation has been taken up, and
IL there are not more applications FOR
high schools, that the surplus will be
divided among the high schools al
ready established.
We understood the Act to give to
each high school only fifty per cent
Of the amount which would be raised
locally. I'm other words, for a school
district to receive five hundred dollars
Tor the establishment of high school.
it must raise locally one thousand
dollars. But, as we nave observed
before in regard to this matter. II
seems that the state board Of cduca-

what the state board thinks the leg
i>lalnrr meant to do, whether that was
done or not.
