He said that he had been to New he rn several times and earrU-d help back to his farm with him but tht.t, although he had fed them well ami given them a comfortable place to sleep they had only stayed with him a few days. Such is the. case all over the county, if there could be a law passed compelling some of the lazy negro vagrants that hang around various places in FaiUi,lhe city, to go to work, it is Bafc j to sav that the farmers would di-;have no more trouble itbout se curing help Dcspitc the fact that they arej,i,.r for man who will he 'hd short on j.iekei-s, however, th'i farm. -rs are brirtng ki from t w o ( to three hundred bales of cot- ton each wok and disposing of it to the local li.rs for prices ranging from Jl to 11', j cents p r pound.
