cotton. Now is the time and due
time for our merchants to open their
eyes and stop this kind of work.
They lose nine times in ten on every
one they advance. Our white peo-
pie rule and dictate the laws, and
why should they not rule the entire
farming of our county? L think
while our Farmers Unions are meet
ing and discussing planting and hold
ing cotton the labor problem might
be given some credence; also it's in
the power of our business men to
relieve this perplexing question.
There are fields aroundthis town that
not a lock of cotton has been picked
from. Still we have several hundred
cotton pickers who live in the town,
Quite q lot of those colored women
refuse to pick cotton al any price;
they say they have all the business
of their own that they can attend to.
If change is not made, watch this
matter grow worse.

The Labor Problem.
Editor County Record:7

Editor County Record:7
Please allow me to make a few re-
marks as to the labor problem in
this county. In the outset, our prin-
cipal laborers are the colored race.
We all agree to one fact, that this
labor is becoming scarcer and more
difficult to secure year by year. Still
we have more negroes among US
now than ever, or the statistics OF
our county show it. Now, the impor-
tant question is, why is this labor
becoming scarcer daily? Here is the
cause in a nut-shell-it is at the feet
of our white business men, the lien
merchants. If you could just see the
books of the lien merchants of
Georgetown and Williamsburg coun-
ties and, see the amount Of both
money sand merchandise that have
been advanced to the should-be COL
ored labor of this year 1911 you
would be amazed at the amount and
more 80 at the fimsy security; some
will take so per cent weaker security
from the negro than he takes from
the white people. The white man
owns the land and the horses and
mules and the fertilizer that it takes
to make a crop; now, Mr. fair-minded
merchant, if the negro were not al
lowed to be sold this stuff and also
to be credited with the other neces-
saries of life, why should he not do
labor for the white man? Notice the
protest on the islands around Charles
ton and Beaufort where they were
left destitute by the last August
gale; they will suffer before they
will leave home and accept work.
Why? Because they have been made
to be a farmer or pretender by Mr.
credit merchant. When he comes to
make arrangements on the fist of
each year the negro is shown more
fayors than the whites; he has moth
ing to offer as security as general
thing but his crop on land leased
from some white man, or his share
of a crop supposed to made on the
white mans land; then all through
the summer you hear the whoop and
whoop, Cant get labor to make
