require all those who want to be pro-
tected to index their contracts in the
Office of the Clerk of Court. Make the
indeXing of such contracts conclusive
notice to the public, so that if A en-
ploys a laborer, after b has indexed his
contract with said laborer, and fails to
release him, upon demand, then make
A liable both civilly and criminally.
"And not only make him liable, but
fix a minimum amount of damages for
which he is liable, say not less than
Five Hundred Dollars. And on the
criminal side of the court, make the
penalty a heavy one, and let it be i'm
prisonment and not a fine.
Zone great trouble about the en-
forcment of most laws is that men can
get off by the payment of a fine. The
average man cares little about paying
a fine. If the offenders were sent to
the chain gang, violations of law would
decrease, and that too at a rapid rate.
"The law that | have suggested can
be passed and, in my judgment, will
stand the test of the courts.
at may cost the landlord as little
something to index their contracts, but
the expenses will be little compared
with the good results to be derived
therefrom."

The Labor Problem.

We reproduc in this issue of THE
ADVERTISER an interview of Mr.. c.. c..
Featherstone in the News and Courier.
We will not discuss it further than to
say that to us it appears sound. We
wish other sound thinking men in
Laurens would write something for
THE ADVERTISER on this, or any other
subject. THE ADVERTISER is not going
to undertake to solve the labor question
but we have some ideas nevertheless.
We believe that the Southern white
man is largely responsible for the labor
conditions of the South not as an indi-
vidual but as a class.
Recently we have observed different
Squads of hands at work under
what we supposed to be competent
bosses" In every instance we have
observed some Of the hands to turn off
a good deal less work than others.
They seem to be experts only in the
art of Cheating time" Yet the same
price is paid for all. This rather en-
courages the best hands to become
sorry a S the sorry mans earning ca
pacity is as great as his own. Every
employer of labor should have a scale
of wages and the good hands should
get the highest prices.
Then again a higher scale Of living
should be encouraged among the
negroes. So long as they are satisfied
with a mere eXhistance and a are
high, they will not put In full time.
They should be educated up to living
better and nor respectfully and that
would require more money and more
work.
A great many negroes from the South
go North and engage in service. In
almost all instances they receive
higher wages than are paid here but
the service required of them there is
much better than is required here. 1t
is only the most competent class that
remain away, those that can and are
willing to make good; just the class we
should encourage to remain here. The
incompetent find their way back sooner
or later because they soon learn that
living Is easiest in the South.
Taking into consideration the service
rendered the Southern whites pay more
on the average than is paid any where
else in the world.
The leaders or the negro arc like
wise largely responsible for these condi-
tions. They will advise the ordinary
laborcr that he should not work for less
than $l.00 a day. The white employer
knows that some are not worth so
much bat he wants to push his work
along and complete 1t, so he takes all
and relics on making his profits out of
the better ones. He wants to make his
average about right, just as the cotton
buyer docs when he pays the same
price for q 9o1d middling ana a low
middIlng bale of cotton. 1t is the same
thing to the cotton buyer but If the
practise is persisted in, it will event
tually Danish the good grades grom that
market. 1t is not to the interest of the
South that wages be lowered, it would
be better if they were higher still, pro
vided that the earners be educated to
a higher plan Of living and taught to
put in six days of the week in worh.

REMEDY POSSIBLE.
MIR. Feathcrstone, at Request of Many
Farmers, Goes Into Details of his
Proposed Contract Regulation.

Proposed Contract Regulation.
Under recent date the local CORE
spondent of The News and Courier sent
that paper the following letter and
interview which we reproduce:
The interview with Mr.. C. c.. Feath-
crstone, published in The News and Cou-
rier some weeks ago, has caused much
discussion among the people of this
community and the ideas advanced have
not been fully comprehended in some
instances. Acting upon these sug-
gestions The News and Courier cor
respondent called upon Mr.. Feather
stone at his office and asked that he of,
fer the people some definite suggestions
as to the remedies he proposes. In this
connection Mr.. Featherstone says:
"Since giving you the interview re.
latjng to the labor contract law | have
received a great many messages from
farmers, in different sections, assuring
me that they think that my suggestions
were along the right line, but asking
that | go somewhat into detail as to
the remedy suggested in my former
interview.
cit will be remembered that | sug-
gcstcd that the remedy was to punish
the men who employ the laborers VIC
lating their contracts, and the men who
induce laborers to violate their con-
tract, and thus force laborers to remain
in the e lployment Of those with whom
they h re contracted.
eff UGH a plan is practical and legal
it meets the whole s~ituation-for the
laborer must have employment, and if
he knows that he cannot get it, after
violating his contract, the inducement
for him to violate is gone.
"In the great majority of cases la
borers are induced to violate their con-
tracts by direct or indirect persuasion
on the part Of others, or by a knowl-
edge of the fact that they will have nc
difficulty, after leaving one man, to get
employment with another. If they
were let alone, or if they knew that
they could not get employment else
where, the majority of them would
stick.
Punish the man who interferes or
who employs them after the violation
and you strike at the root of the diff
Guilty.
Our criminal statute already pro-
Vides punishment for the man who en-
tees a laborer from the employment
of another, or who harbors one after
notice that he has violated his contract
with another.
The trouble is to prove that he had
notice of the first contract. The viola,
tor Of the contract is not going to notify
him, and the mar who is mean enough
to deprive his neighbor of the laborer,
is not apt to admit knowledge.
"The difficulty, therefore. in the en-
forcement of this statute, has always
been the inability to prove notice.
"How can this difficulty be remoyedl
In my Judgment it car be done very
easily.

caly no expense for repairing the Majestic.
AS for baking, it is perfection, not only for a few months,
but for all times to come.

ABOVE statements, put IT you will call at our store, a man from

satisfaction, that these are absolute facts, and will show Won
