Farm Tenants.
' Mb. Editor;—The “Small.Farmer”
in a late issue of the Home Journal
should be commented upon to some
extent.
I will admit that the large land
owners prefer negro tenants, but
why?
In many instances the white ten
ant has not the necessary labor to
cultivate and gather his crops, and
negroes don’t care to work with a
renter. So the landlord is practi
cally compelled to rent to the negro,
or hire him.
The question might be asked,
“Why don’t he hire a white man?”
Well, if he does, and says to him,
“Go cut and split rails to-day,” the
employe will quickly say, “I will
quit before I do that.”
If the landlord says, “Scatter
barnyard manure,” what is the re
ply? “I will quit before I do that.”
If the landlord says, “Oatoh my
horse and hitch him to the buggy,”
will he do that? No.
Well, if this man owns his farm,
what about those things, then?
Agriculture is the foundation of
life’s subsistence, and let all take
hold.
The above does not apply to all
young men, but it does to some. I
know of what I Bpeak.
Every young man can’t buy land.
I often see land advertised for sale,
many times in small quantities. The
writer heard a gentleman who has
60 acres of land for sale, say to a
young man not long ago, “Don’t
you want to buy my land?” The re
ply was, “Oh.Jif IJbuy, it would be to
speculate on, and I could not pay
you much for it. I expect to go in
business very soon.” That means
going to a town or city.
It is often said that a man must
be highly educated to make a suc
cessful farmer, but that is not abso
lutely necessary. Education is good,
very good, but some of the greatest
orimes are committed by educated
men and women.
It is said the article written to
the Journal by the one-horse farm
er of Toy, was the work of a crank
or idiot. If the writer can see well,
such a crank can fit any windlass.
This crank is 41 years old and
never went to school but six weeks
in all his life, and only a few years
back he could not write his name.
But if he be a crank, he is one
whom God knows.
Toy, Ga. Farmer.
A Tridute.
Mr. Mary M. Ragin, daughter of
John R. King and wife of A. H.
Ragin, deceased, born in Sumpter
county, South Carolina, October 6th,
1827, departed this life July 29 th,
1902, at her residence in Perry.
She gave her life early to God;
was happily converted at a Perry
camp-meeting nearly fifty years ago.
She was ear[y left a widow with
three children, whom she brought
up in the nurture and admonition of
the Lord. ’Twas ever her custom to
take them into her room at evening
twilight and, after sweet counsel,
to give them in prayer to God. Bro.
E. K. Ragin of Hakinsville, Mrs. M.
A. Edwards and Miss Mitt Ragin of
Perry, are the children striving to
follow Christ as their sainted moth
er taught them.
For some time she had suffered
with heart disease. Being asked, if
she should die suddenly, was she
ready? she replied; “All these years
I have been getting ready, and am
willing to go when the Master calls
me.” And thus she left us, without
a tear or a sigh, or a good-bye.
The angels came and took her to
glory; that long, useful and hap
py life ended in triumph.
May we love Christ and the church
as she did, that our last days * may
be like hers. Pastor.
A’ gentleman who has just retum-
from a trip through Florida says the
orange crop will be 400,000 boxes
short this year. The shortage is
due to the drought. The fruit be
gan falling from the trees when it
was the size of a hickory nut, and
the leaves shriveled up. While this
crop will be short, this year has
been the greatest on record for the
farmers, he said. The vegetable
crop has been a tremendous one
and the farmers have made money.
