The Fast of out Series of "Law Talks for Farmers" What trie Tenant's Rights are an3 .What He is Expected to do. J. W. Biily in Progressive Farmer. There are five estate), or relatione, in agriculture, as follows: 1. - The Proprietor. 2. The Landlord. 3. The Tenant, or Lessee. 4. The Cropper. 5. The Laborer. It is my purpose here to sultrrit a few timely not-.s touching t'us lights awl relations of thw.' five closes. And ia the fiiv.t placj I will ug Jert'ske to distii'gaisli between them: .L'lit) rroj: rut or 13 oue who owns the laiid and cultivates it for him self. The landlord u aland-ewner who renfs out hi3 land, or h&4 it ca.iv.r id by cmpporf, W very d ll-.rent things us will shortly be mide to appear. Thetenantis .one who rens .tbe land of aa.otb.cr with the right tociil tivatin "it, 'Contracting to pay as rect a certaia amount of money, cr a r:-r!aiu shsire of the produce of hie iii'-ludtry thereon. . The cropper 13 one who cultivates tbe land of another tinder promise from the owner of the land to re cerve a certain purtioa'cf the crop thereon produced ag -the Ve'aiilt cf fcia labor. 4 Tbe laborer is one who works for wagee promised him by proprietor, tenant or cropper na the cue may be. The distinction between proprie tor and tenant, cropper or laborer ia readily apprehended. But the dis tinction between the cropper and tenant is more difficult. In faot ao great a Jurist as Chief Justice Pear. son has said: "The dividing liae between a tenant and a cropper is indistinct, and in many cases hard to run." And yet there are distinctiona be tween tenant and cropper- which have been repeatedly drawn in by the conrtg; and as their relative rights are quite different, it ia important that so far as possible this distinc tion shall be made clear. The beat bit of work on this Bubject haa been done by that able lawyer, Mr S. F. Mordecai, as found in his "Law Lectures," pages J.02-103. I quote therefrom following: "1. If the contract clearly con veys the land to a lessee for a term, the lessee ia a tenant, in the absence of some contrary and controlling pro vision. The use of the terms 'rent' and -"rented' has but little weight in the interpretation when a contract is oral or is inartiScally or obscurely written. 2. If the occupier is to pay a money rent, oris to pay a share of the crop as rent, he ia a tenant, unless there is a positive agreement that the tittle to the crop shall be in the land-owner, that he may make the division, or, that he may be se cured by lien. The agreement for a lieu makes the occupier a cropper. 5. If it clearly appear that the occupier, althouga called a tenant ia ttie coutr&c?, lias no etalo in the land or in the crop, but tbat the land-owitr is to pay iiiia L.f of the crop, or ita value, u VAgus, after making certain a.ipu!attdiiuductit;ii8 such occupier and not a t:uaat. j Uavins tuu3 est forth the divine. tiou in tue contract bcvaa cropper and tenant. let ma low prjec-id to set fuht sjuieof the more important d ffiiences in tiitir respective rights. Ia the iiist place a tenant hud peg. session of the land and has an estate therein, while the cropper has neith er eatat3 nor possession. Ilia rela. lion to the land, it appears, is ro better than that of a kbcrer. In f-.ct wnen it comes to the law cf en ticing labor,he whoentids a croppir is as liable as ho would be for entic ing any other servant. Moreover, if the cropper abandon tbe crop, he paltogether loses his" right to it that is, while he may maintain aa ectio r for his services eo far s.s they went, he hits no liea on the crop. More significant ctill, if ho give a lien, bond on hi3 crop, then abandon it without lawful excuse, U13 ciop i.j not oflly forfeited to ths !aa:l owner, but tire liec-oond vru avail its hold er nothing. The cropper has no title to the crop until his share hu3 been separated to him by the land owner. - . The land-owner owns the cropper's crop., xhe laud owner divides it a3 between them. Ua the other hand, the tenant owns the tenant's crop, and the tenant divides it between himself and the land-owner. The 1 Mr. York Promoted Mr. AF.

H2ALTH PROTECTION What Is Being; Done Here and There Over the State for the Pro tection of the People's Healte. Guilford County has employed a well trained physician aa County Superintendent or tlealtn. He de vote hia entire time to gnarding the people agaiost preventable sickness, to lecturing in the schools on how to prevent diseases, and to inspecting the children for defective eyes, ears, throats, for hookworm disease, etc Twenty-seven counties have made provision for free State and County Hookworm dispensaries: Jonnston and Gatea were the last two counties to take action. Up to December 1, 816 of the State's physicians report having treated 24,315 'Cases of hookworm disease. 22,333 eases have been treated since July 1, in the State and County dispensaries, or a total of 46,648 cases have been treated within 2 years in the State. The Superintendent of Health in Moore County ia employed for half his entire time. He visits schools, lectures on tne common diseases, and inspects the children for curable tff. ctionp. The Board cf E lucation in Rowan County has already erected sixty, five Sinitary surface closets at public schools houses and the County Superintendent of Schools reports that they are giving splendid satis- facuou.

Mec. time, I will conclude this article with a word by way of applying the foregoing remarks. It muiit be plain that it is better to be a tenant than a cropper. It must, however, occur to tbe land, lord that there is a class of "help" that it is best to employ ia the rela tion of cropper. The poor but ag grcsiive and faithful man ought to be put in the relation of tenantj-and a hea ho comes to malie hia engage ment with the land-owner ' ho will u3k to have certain land rented to Liia for a certain time; and: he will ngrca to p iy a certain sum of trocey tucrcfer, if pc3jible. If not, let hiai undertake to pay a csrtaia portion of his crop. And .let him put these simple teruu in writing. Oa the other hand, let the land-owner, when he has to deal with an inferior sort of man, see to it that he does not put him in the position of indepen dence. Let him see to it that the title to the crop and the estate in the land remains in himself. Vital Washington News SpMlal Washington Correspondent. Washington, Deo., 27. An im portant poitt in connection with the President 8 message on tbe woolon schedule has escaped attention. It ia thie: Mr. Tart ia giving tne people a discourse on wool instead of cheaper woolens. Whether the Presi dent a message, which doesn t tell Congress any more about the diff .r aace in the cost of production at home and abroad than it knew be fore, will be aceppted by the country as a satisfactory substitute for cheap er and better clothing, which he promised in his pre-election speeches, and was in a position to giv; but fltlly refused by vetoing tho Under woou LuFoUette wool bill, rcuii.ir.E to be seen. Here are some facts which will aid the reader to re.icU a conclusion as ta whether the President ia now, over was or ever will be in good futh with tte public whoa it. comr-s to interfering with the profits cf the tarrff trusts which make bigcampa'gu contributions to the Republican party: When the Paync-Aldrich bill was paestd, Mr. Taft eaid the woolen schedule of that measure was indefensible," and tbat he would like to see it revised and revised downward. At the extra session of Congress Democrats and progressive Republicans pr-ssed a bill reducing the abcormally high tax on woolens in a sincere aud patriotic attempt to lighten the' bin den of taxation to the ueersof wooJens. Had thePiesident signed this bill it would have meant a reduction this winter in, the price of woolen clothing of all sorts for men, women and chudrer; also in prices of blankets and other forms of woolen manufactures needed for warmth by the general public. But the President vetoed this bill offending the very kind of belief he had declared to be in sympathy with, forcing the American people to con tinue to pay a subsidy in artificial prices to the wool industry of ap proximately. $100,000,000 a year. "I must veto this bill." declared the President, "bat after the tariff board reveals tne difference in tne cost of prodnotion at home and a. broad I will favor downward re vision of the wool schedule." This report is now in, haa been read and annlyced, and found to con tain practically nothing more on the subject of difference in the cost of production at home and abroad than the Democratic Waya and Means committee was in possession of when it framed the Underwood Bill. The joke is on the public again. The people asked for cheaper and better clothing, and all they get, so far as Mr. Taft is concerned, as a nicely worded but useless mefsagf; words as a substitute for relief from the extortionate prices exacted by the tariff trusts.'

All pirirs who have rot paid their taxs for the year, 1911, have been notified to come and eettle their taxes t.i once and avoid the payment of cost?. The taxes should have been paid by the firbt of November. The sheriff is compelled to collect the taxes, and those who do not want to pay cost's will have no one to blame but themselves if they do not come forward and pay now. See the sheriff's notice cf his second round for collection of taxes and meet him at the appointments or call at the office and pay, for it only takes one time to pay,and save costs..
