WHAT WILL THE TENANT
DO?

That the enforced readjustment of
farming methods in the South will
eventuate in good, there is little
doubt; but there is great danger that
in the present depression, future
welfare may be sacrificed to tempo;
fary, if not false, economy.
PROFESSIONALLY a large per cent of
the farmers of Abbeville county
have planted from 35 to so per cent
of this years cotton acreage to oats,
and it would seem to be the part Of
economy to cut out at least a third OF
their labor and horse power. But
can they afford to do it? One diff
Guilty under which the South has la
bored for years is the inadequacy Of
labor, and when new conditions have
become more settled, and the labor
that is here now, and much more,
will be needed. While cotton acre
age may never again reach its pres
ent total in the United States, in a
few years, it will be largely restored,
and it is hoped that corn and grain
and stock will be produced in self
sustaining qualities on lands that are
now lying idle. But this cannot be
done if labor is driven out, and this
seems to be the present danger. II
two tenants out of five are to be sac
rificed to temporary expediency,
what hope is there for the future de-
velopment of this Southern country
and what is to become of these un-
employed tenants? A few white
people may find a temporary home
in the cotton mills, but what of the
thousands of negroes who by reason
of their poverty and social condi-
tons are chained to the soil? II
they are thrown out of employment,
they must starve, beg, Or steal. For
the present, they are the white mans
burden, and it would be well to re-
, member, that as they have been use
full in the past, they can be made
useful again, when new conditions
have readjusted themselves.
1t is the landowners duty to re-
tain his labor even at reduced profit,
for the present, in order that he may
not lose a grasp of the future, even
aside from the humanitarian point OF
view. The South needs all of its Ia
Dor, and more.
Nor does this burden extend to
landowners alone. The merchants
too must carry their share, despite
the fact that even now their books
are filled with accounts that condi-
tions have made impossible Uf collec-
ton in full. Of course they must ex-
ercise due caution. Not even the
public veal car require that they
sacrifice their property. But that
they will have to be ever more lib
eral than in years of plenty, relying
more on the integrity of their custo-
mers than upon the quantity or
value of their collateral, seems GER
tain. The Southern people are in
the wilderness for a season, and. they
should emerge as one people, un-
broken in numbers. The spirit of
comradeship should distribute the
burdens-until a better day has
dawned, as it is sure to do ere long,
if provided for in the proper spirit.

NEW YORK. March 20.-Hoist
storm signals for professional baseball
With the gale whipped up by the Fed
eral league just subsiding. the New
York state boxing commission In It's
report to the legislature today asks
that its authority be extended to the
diamond sport. The whichness OF the
why for this move Is mystery. as
there Is no evidence that owners. play
ers or spectators of professional base
ball have asked for supervision.
The boxing commission in Its report
says 1t has taken the Initiative IN
movement for the organization OF d
world government body for boxing ana
says that its authority could well De
extended to baseball. The commission
reported no infractions OF the Doxins
law during the year, and said thAl
shams and taking in the ring nave
been absolutely eliminated. BOXING
show receipts in the last year were
Sl,994796, OF which the commission
took 1851.
The fact that the New York COM
mission Is regarded as the controihns
body Of boxing in this country seems
to have swelled the chests OF its men,
bers, and undoubtedly put weight be-
hind the request that baseball be plac-
ed under the eagle eyes OF the com
missioners. But where would the ma.
tional baseball commission get on!
It's a cinch no state body will ever
usurp the powers Of that organization
over professional baseball. The ma.
tional pastime now Is regulated ana
supervised as never before. The re-
quest of the boxing commission has al
the ear-marks of a beautiful pipe
dream or a bid for the up-stage spot
light II Is certain to raise storm
in organized baseball. should the re
quest be acted upon seriously.
