T .owrance Opposes
McSwain Tenant
Law And Fish Bil
To Editor of The Star.
I would like to express m’
thoughts as to the McSwain tenm
lease Dili and note It says that Ui<
leases expire December 1. I thlnl
this Is unfair to the tenant farmer
for he knows as well as I do that a
tenant cannot get his crops gather*
ed each year by December 1. This
bill If passed would rob a ter-nt and
his family out of this hard labo
nnd give It to the landlord I don1'
see how Mr. McSwain can see It wil1
be any good, only to the landlord. I
am not In favor of it end know that
all the tenant class would be too.
I am satisfied that I could get r
thousand of them to sign a pap *
that way, so I hope that McSwuln
will withdraw this bill, for the te i
ants did not help elect a man to
lfice that would do a thing 111"
that. They would be In favor of v
law that Ls fair to all. Why shot
a tenant be forced to move aw
and come back to gather the b
ance of crop that he could not r
gathered by December 1. I do*
thing the law should be changed 1
a tenant can get his crop gather
by January 1st and oe moved off.
I hope I will hear from other
long this line about this bill.
I see that there are a lot that
^re not In favor of the fishing law
bange In this county. I think the
Ishlng and hunting law both should
e killed In Cleveland county for
’’ere ls no one who wants the law
’it a few that have nothing to do
it go fishing and hunting when
ey get ready. Tire aboring cl ss
’on't have time to hunt or fish
much.
