NEGRO AGENT is SAID TO
HAVE BEEN AT WORK IN
TERRELL COUNTY.
SITUATION BECOMES SERIOUS

Promised Greater Freedom and a
Larger Share of the Crops i'm New
Homes and the Exodus Has Reach
ed Alarming Proportions.
Farm labor, already scarce, has
become a serious problem in Terrell
comfy. and the prospects are that
yrban the time arrives less than two
weeks hence for the farm operations
If the new year to begin many Of
the farmers will find themselves
without the necessary number of
tenants to plant and cultivate their
crops.
The one thing that has contribu-
ted more than any other to this
very undesirable condition is the ex-
odns of a large number of farm
hands to counties further south.
The depot at every railroad station
the past several weeks has been
crowded with the household goods
of negroes, and hundreds of them
have moved to the wiregrass sec
ton.
1t is reported that a negro agent
from Mitchell county has been at
work in Terrell, and the departure
Of so many farm hands from here
is largely due to his efforts. AS an
inducement, it is said, he has told
them that in the wiregrass counties
tenants are allowed greater freedom
and independence, as they are not
worked under Overseers as here, and
also are given in their share of the
crops half of the cotton seed, which
is not done by the landlords of this
section.
Some farmers who had contracted
with enough labor to run their
places and even moved the families
have suddenly found themselves
without tenants and have had to
start over again in search of help
Many are advancing large sums of
money to secure hands and others
are bringing them from Schley.
Stewart and Webster counties, but
the number thus obtained is far less
than those who have emigrated.
From every direction the cry for
help swells the chorus.
