THE WAY THE LAW WORKS.
Farmor% Complaining of law Which
Enabltt the Rich to Hob Thorn.
r
" E'
Bt^nuind Ooa ter.
That there Is one law for the
rich and another or none for the
la a fact which is becoming
evident every day, and it
bat one of (he many eigne of the
impending change in our affairs of
government. This was shown in
Richmond last week when a party
of farmers ewe In to see if they
ooold not get protection against
their landlord. From their story
It seemed that they engaged to
work on ehsree on a large planta-
tion, end the landlord was to sup-
ply them with provisions during
the year. After they had worked
a month or more, oontracts were
presented to them to sign, along
with the intimation that a refoesl
to do eo would result in their dis-
missal. As this would mean the loes
of their labor and probably leave
them without work for the balanoe
of the year, it was only natural
that ^they should sign anything
that would promlee continued ei-
ietence to their wives and children.
How, they claim, that having
made their crops snd housed their
corn, their landlord refuses either
to supply them with provisions,
to sell the ir products, or to ad-
vanee money on it. Theee men
alaim that the contracts now dit-
ciose that they agreed to every-
thing that will alarve them to
death or foroe them to abandon
their work and lose whst they
have made. Tbey say that the
•ontract gives their employer the
right to soli their crops just when
It auits him, and there is nothing
in the document oompelling him
to supply the necessities of life.
They further claim that their
landlord, realizing their helpless
and destitute condition, is taking
advantage of it in the hope ttat as
• matter of eelt preservation they
will leave the plantation and their
crops, thereby loeing the result of
their labors.
To their aotoniahment they
found, upon obtaining legal ad-
vico, that our muoh boasted laws
made no provision for poor peo-
ple in such casss, but on ths con-
torary anything they might do in
ths way of obtaining their just
daes would be punished by the
strong arm of the courts, and die-
gusted and filled with bitterness
and despair they went back to
their suffering families.

Kdl'or Tes Farm and ham-ii:
Hs owns 100 acres of land
twenty miles north of Galveston
on the I. A G. N. railway. Hs
waa born in April, 1885—is 62
years of age. He said he was too
much of sn enthusiast to writs to
Texas F*rm tnd Rich sbout this
ooast country. He bought his land
In the woods snd prairis on Dlok*
Ins in bayou. Hs had no exper-
ianoeas a farmer, having nevar
boon accustomed to hitobing up a
team, miking fence, plowing, hoe-
ing, plantii g or reaping. He had
•old from one acre of snap bsans,
not 9250, off one tpring crop, be-
ginning on April 21, 18H8. And
In Msrob, 1892, ho sold $372
worth of strawbsrries oft one acre.
Ha haa raised cabbage to average
10 ponada a head. Ha haa raissd
hoots and turnips to perfection.
Ho releed 250 bushels of Creols
onions to an a ora and cold at an
of $1 a b#al. Ho haa
The conclusion is tbif: If one
advanoed In years, end with no
experience in farm life, could do
so well as to build op a lucrative
business, what ought a youogsr
man to do who has be n raised on
the farm, bleesed aith physiosl
dsvslopment and personsi exper-
ience. He has hid fine health and
the health of his family (eight in
all) have greatly improved. He
tells of particular familias who
hsve been in poor health snd come
to ths coast and g t rosy, active
and robust in health. But he
thinka persons contemplating mov-
ing to the coait country ought to
corns and look before they movs.
Hs has a fine two-ttory house
and 2000 pecan trees, 200 plum
trees, 50 paper shell pecan trees,
100 fig tree*, about 100 persim-
mon trsee snd two acres in black*
berries, which yielded a handsome
crop this year, beginning to mar-
ket May 20th. lie has an artesian
well juat com) leted with inch
casing. There are many of this*
wells, generally 400 to 500 feet
deep. He har eight acres in corn,
planted Apiil 10th. No rain on it
since May 10th; will make 25 to

A Friendly Blow.
Ths Nsw York Sun quotas Dr.
Theodore Weyman as relating a
lively adventure of his own with
a Sumatran crocodile. Hs wat
passing some months at a M nlay
villsge, situated on a tide river,
which turned out to be infested by
crocodiles of the fiercest sort.
My first sxpsriencs with ons of
them was sufficiently stsrtliog to
servo aa a warning against givicg
the crooodilss the least opportun
itv to get near me during the re*t
of my stay. I bad disembarked
in a large native canoe from the
Dutch ooeating schooner that had
brought me to the mouth of the
Deehak river, to go up to the
town.
The black waters of the lagoon
were qoist and unbroken nesr at
hand by sign of moving ligbt. Off
upon ths shore, where a mud-
bank shslvsd into the water from
the line of insngrovs, a acore or
mors oi crooodilss wsrs lying on-
dsr ths hot sun as motionlses as
loga. Hers snd thsre, at a con
si Jsrabls distance, a black object,
that might be a snout if it wsre
not a bit of dark, floaticg wood,
projsctsd above the water.
Other crocodiles were anmlt-
tabable, as they moved alowly
away, lsaving faint, triangular rip-
plea widening behind them, in-
dicating that a ssurisn had betn
disturbed at our approach. B it
there was nothing near the cance
to denote the presence of dsrgqr.
Thoughtlessly I lsaned over the
aide and put my band down,
splashing ths water as the canoe
glided smoothly along. The mas-
ter of the canoe, a half-breed
Malay, who wss managing the
steering paddle behind me, did
not at onoe obssrvs what I wae
doing. Hia loud shoot snd a sud-
dsn, sharp swssp of his paddls
sgsinst my slbow, throwing my
arm upward above my heed, were
the firat intimation I reoeivod that
ha «Uaapproved of my orooeedin*.

hideous pair of opan jaws came up
alongside th® cauoe in the place
where my band had been the mo
ment before, and I saw the open
nostrils, the long, pointed, canine
.eelb, with the shsrp, serrated
rows behlod them, and the cold,
deadly eje of a crocodile.
The teeth clashed together in
the air aa, immediately, the head
drew back beneath the murky
waters, but not so quickly bat tbst
the Malay matter's paddls had
rung sharply upon the ecaly armor
in a blow aii&ed at 'be crocodile'*
