flow to Improve Xetci-o luilioiir
Having duly the negroes for the Sold
now and no likelihood of any other at any
early day, no question is of greater moment
to the planter and farmer of Pixio, than :
How to Improve Negro Labour.
The question is broad and our space is
brief, henco we must be very concise :n
the statement of our views.
I. To make any man enterprising and
inventive, he must feel that he is w- iking
for himself, or that though he may be
working for others, lie will himself reap
the full nre s ire of his labour, h;s outlay
of capital, or bis exhibition of superior
ski.l or industry.
II. It is but natural that men bred np
slaves, with no interest in tho fruits of
their labour beyond mere food, shelter and
clothes, should when freed, fee 1 jealous ol
their labir.tr, and be in constant fear of be
ing robbed or cheated out of it. Such is
the universal state of the negroes, 'iliey
dread the loss of their labour.
III. The negroes must 1 e made to feel
morally certain that the full traits of ilicir
labour is secure to them beyond the. con
trol of any other person. They must be
taught to feel litre of whatever extra work
they do. whether by extra .-kill or indus
try, helii.’ paid for. This assurance is
absolutely essential to secure that motive
for enterprise and ingenuity from which
all progress springs.
IN'. Of another thing, too the negroes
must be made morally sure, and that is,
that they linn t work for their living, just
as white men have to do. They must
learn that “master’s smokehouse" and
government rations ate both things of the
past, which they will never see again.
Tho-o things the negro must be taught
by the land-owners. They are to be his
employers, and they must bo bis prote.-t ws,
'too This protection must be venerat
and complete Not only such slow pro
tection as the law can give, but the pro
tection of a public opinion that shall mock
do scorn any man who shall take ad van
tape ol’ the negro's ignorance, to cheat
him of liis just wages. This is a matter
Another important- matter wli'.cli pub
lie opinion can reach, is the intermeddling
with contracted labour. IVc know that
the practice of enticing contracted la
bourers away from their employers is be
coming general with a large class of men,
'who vthould get very angry if t dd they
were not gentlemen. And yet th re can
be uo question as to tho dishonesty id'.sin b
conduct. Against this practice farmers
and planters must take steps to prnOc*
themselves. The 1110s* effectual incus is
the legal right to recover dam - * from
the pa;ty enticing, as well as from the
party enticed; but rs yet the grievance
'has not become sufficiently annoying to
-eeure any action t it .the part i I d ■ pre
sent law makers, b'a vnec for the pre
rent must be had on other means.
It has seemed to us that the varum
County Agricultural riociefe- v a lie
very eomr stent and net. imj roper j rrst-ns
to take this matter in hand, so far rs a
tbirg van-he done by regulating the prh
of farm labour. Of course no L Av can
make a Compulsory regulation, but it
seems to us ijuite within the pr< v.nee oi
such societies to submit sm.li a static of
prises os seems fair to them, and - to ex
press in pointed terms their disapproval of
the practice ib-nt which we are speaking.
Hut after all, the true remedy lies in
the hands of individuals. Each man
must keep his own w orkmen for himself.
Each one will, of c ttrsc, have his own
peculiar way of winning the negro to stay
with him. Hut there are certain tiling*
that all must do, tilings which interest,
and duty alike impel them to d >. Tim e
arc providing of good, substantial. Cuin
fortablo and neat houses, and the attach
ment thereto of a small garden or truck
natch, and all tho other little surroundings
that make the negro feel at homo and
attach him to the place. Once make the
negro identify himself with a place as his
home, and there will be but little diffi
■cnlty in keeping him year by year. I'n
til he does become identified with, and
attached to, the »•••! on which lie works,

labourer or be content to stay long at n.
place.
In this whole matter, the white man
•must hoar in mind that lie is dealiu r until
ail inferior; ouc who is as a child in all
matters of business, 'lhey need aiiu ■
they need teaching, and the whi’e pe nlc
who used to own them arc the proper per
sons to adri'C and tench them ; not in
their schools, but or' the farms and in
every day business. Above all, their ior
n,er owners must see that they are dealt
fairly with in the matter «f wages,
llightly treated, tliey will make good la
bourers, wrongly tieuted they will work
much trouble—Dixie Farmer.
