New Labor Contract Law.

The following section OF the new code
having reference to contracts between
employers and employees, is of interest
at Fthis season to farmers and Others
making contracts for labor. Section
l14S of the code Of 1905 reads as fol-
lows.s
Ii any person, with intent to injure
or defraud his employer or any person.
enters into contract in writing, duly
acknowledged or attested by two wit
nesses in their own handwriting, for the
performance oil any act or service which
is to be performed with fifteen months
from the date OF such contract, and
hereby obtains moneyor other personal
property from such employer, GA per-
son, and with like intent, and without
refunding such money or paying for
such property, wilfully refuses or fails
to perform such act or service. he shall,
upon conviction, be punished for OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses
and shall be punished by fine OF not
more than 500 or by imprisonment in
the county Jail for not exceeding six
months, or both, in the discretion OF the
court. And the refusal or failure Of
any person who enters into such con-
tract. to perform such act or service,
or refund such money, or pay such
property, without just cause, shall be
prima facie evidence Of the intent to
defraud his employer or person, and
shall warrant conviction. in all cases
in which the evidence, as whole does
not create a reasonable doubt of the
guilt Of the accused. If the employer
or such other person, or any authorized
representative, shall fail to render,
within reasonable time. true itemiz d
accounts OF the property and money
so obtained from him and of the entire
indebtedness claimed, or shall render an
account knowingly false as to the items
therein, then there shall be no convic-
thin under this section.
Such law is made necessary by the
unfortunate habit as the many farm
employees of getting advances Of money
or goods from the planters, upon his
pledge OF labor in ..mahing crop, and
when that labor is most needed jump
ing the crop and debt, at the same,
and seeking other employment where
their wages are not encountered by the
previous obligation, 1t is necessary
protection to the employer and imposes
no hardship upon the honest employe

ter, as governor Of South Carolina, had
dismissed company Of the national
guard because they had refused to obey
orders during a disturbance over the
enforcement Of the liquor laws. Mr..
Tillman offered the explanation that
they were bandbox soldiers. thus show
ing that his powers sof rstiocination are
weird and peculiar. dow any man IF
adult intelligence ican seriously contend
that it isproper to discharge company

it is'a lynchipg to discharge q company

WIS Is Senator Tillman mp TOT
What was the occasion for his hsran'
que about the supremacy of the white
race and his disgusting allusiou to 90
cial equality2 It has ALWAYS seemed to
Us that the Southern white man
degraded himself by even discussing
questions Of this character, unless the
question was forced upon him, and even
then his part Of the debate should be like
sword duel-s cut and q thrust and
have 1t over as soon possible, Does q
Southern senator elevate his own posi-
ton or magnify white supremacy by
strutting around the chamber, foamins
at the mouth. protesting that he is bet
ter than black man and that he abhors
mixed marriages. We hope that the
doesn't people atithe North do not judge
Southern manners by the Tlllman sam
Piles.
There is no occasion for Mr., Till
mau's haraugue on racial supremacy
and social equality. Qhe question was
whether or not the president was justi-
fable in discharging the negro soldiers
of the Twenty-ffth infantry, because
some Of their number "Shot up" the
town Of Brownsville, and by Mr.. Till
mans own logic he was more than jus
tifable. Mr.. Tilman holds that al
negro soldiers should be discharged or
