REMARKABLE LOCAL FARM
LABOR SITUATION.
The farm labor situation in this
section, in its almost impossibility
to secure hands to work in the cot
ton fields at this time, is perhaps
the most remarkable ,ever,kD0wn.
Not that there are no men,fVomen
or children to work, but in their
refusal to work, the price being no
consideration, as big wages are or
fered with cotton ome J;wentj?five
dollars a Daie lower cnan iass year,
Daily stories are told of white
farmers who have to pick cotton
themselves, a farmer giving his
age at 6fr years being an instance
another farmer telling of his wifdand the daughter
going into the field to help, tho'
nh.e had never done so before. It
is not all colored hands who re
fuse to work, white men and boys
thiuk such labor beneath their
dignity and will not accept farm
labor that includes cotton picking.
Jhe wonderfully-fine weather is
responsible for both the largely in
creased cotton yield in this sec
tion, as well as giving extra weeks
iu which to pick the crop. , With
some seasons that have fieen known
even with the abundant crop as it
is this year it would have yielded
almost nothing, with the present
farm labor situation, for it would
have been still in the fields and
ruined by the storms.
It is not hard to figure out that
such a l&bor situation works in
calculable section and community
harm. Instead of the laboring
class taking to the cotton fields;
and making without special exr
tion an average of one dollar a day,
with board included, the cotton
is left subject to storms and win
ter damage, and instead of. a la
boring class well provided with
money for all winter needs there is
an idle class, a class of non produ
cers and of consumers that will like
ly demand food, clothing and shelt
er this winter at the expense of
the tar payers or from an over
indulgent charity giving people.

all the cats who wander about upon

ary are really witches, whom It la law
ful and even necessary te shoot An
old German superstition bss It that
If a black est sits upon the bed -of a
sick man It Is a presage' of his death.
while If after his decease It la seen
upon his grave it Is enough to arouse
doubts as to the locality to which his
soul has departed. In Hungary tt Is
thought that cats generally become
witches between the ages of seven and
twelve years. A French belief con
cerning the cat Is that if the animal
be carried in a cart and the wind blow
from It to the horses they Immediately
fall tired. -If any part of the horse
man's clothing be made of cat s skin
the horse will feel as though It carried
a double burden.
