GFN. BUTLER IS OPTIMISTIC. Old Soldier Talks of FinelCrops and Labor Conditions.-Approves Judge Brawley's Deciion. News and Courier. Columbia, August 22.-Gen. M. C. Butler for forty years has known as much about South Carolina as any other man who has lived in this state during that time. Gen. Butler has been in the city this week with his old comrades, and while in conversa tion with this correspondent the oth er day he declared that the crops on his plantation in Edgefield are the finest this year that he has seen since the war. Gen. Butler does not take much stock in much of the talk about labor conditions. He was emphatic in say ing that he thought the decision of Judge Brawley upsetting the farm labor contract law is just and proper. He thinks that cre)lit will always have to be extended to the negroes, because they are essentially shiftless, but does not think there should be any trouble managing them. "What about the negroes who* won't keep their obligations, Gener al?" was askeu'. "Weil, I don't know, because I have never had any of that kind on my place." "You know, lois of these fellows who get up and denounce the negro would try to put me or you in jail or hang us, if we were to go to their farm and try to get the negro to leave the state Why, if there should be an exodus of the negroes these same fel Laws woold start a civil war. They ta]R abo:at a race war, but there is no more danger of any such thing than there is of a war between me and you," said the General. "There won't be any fight between us, General, if I can get out of the way," said the newspaper man. "And I am old and lame and can't fight now," replied the General. Commenting on political conditions Gen. Butler said he was glad to know that South Carolina in her legislation concerning railroads and other cor porations had been the most conser vative of all the states, and had not gone crazy like some of the others. "If we could get rid of the dema gogue this country would be all right," he continued. "Why a fellow will get up and make a speech, in which he portrays the marvellous prosperity and progress of the coun try, and then in a little while he will denounce the corporations for their terrible oppression of the people. I can't figure out how he stands for both propositions." There are different views on the labor problems, but all views this year seem to be the same on the crops in South Carolina. Mr. J. Belton 'Watson, one of the largest farmers of Anderson county, has been in Co lumbia for several days this week, preparatory to a trip in the interests of the Farmers' union, in which he is a leading member and officer. "Crops are fine," said Mr. Watson, in response to a question. "Yes, sir, in our county, the ox and the ass will know where their master's crib is this year, sure. I have never seen the cotton in better condition and there is plenty of corn." Mr. Watson went on to say that the labor conditions were the only drawback to the prosperity of the farmers. He stated that the negroes -everywhere had heard of Judge Brawley 's decision, and it had had its effect in making them restless and some of them had jumped their con tracts, no longer being in fear of im prisonment. " The thing to do is to repeal the lien law, and any man who will ac complish that will serve his state most signally," declared Mr. Watson. The Farmers, union has already pass ed a resolution urging the legislature to take this action, and a committee has been appointed. termed the legis ]ative N-.mmittee, which vwi!l e>moe to the leg'slature next winter and urge this a-.!ion on the members. al->ng with the advceacy of other iegisatio.n which the Farmers' union ded:res to see enacted. Mr. Wats:n is :a memn be' of this committee. Mr. Wat on thinks the wages sy; e'.u enrit sup plant the lien ija' Mr Watson says that the Farmers' union is grwn stenti!e He 1s now making a trip to the Yower part of the state and speaks at Orange buig, Barnwell and Bamberg, ex plaining the purposes and the plans of the union. He declares that there is nothing in the organization which can be objected to, and the union de sires The friendship of the mill men and all others. The union, he declare.s, ton each year and this will be to the cdvaitage of the mills. In order to counteract to some ex tent. the evil conditions following Judge Brawley's decision, the Farm ers' union at its recent state conven tion adopted a resolution pledging its members not to engage or employ farm laborers who are under contract with another farmer, whether the contract is binding or not. This prac tice has aroused considerable feeling in some sections of the state. SOUTH CAROLINA LEADS.

A Luminous Comment. Philadelphia Evening Bulletin. The late Isidor Wormser, the mil lionaire banker of New York, laid the foundation of his business success as a lothier in San Francisco. An ag ed San Franciscan said of him re ently: "Mr. Wormser was a shrewd man. f you laid a proposition before him, he saw at a glance whether it was good or bad, true or false, and in an epigrammatie and illuminating way i he passed judgment on it. ''For instance:1I once*heard a man explaining palmistry to Mr. Worm- i ser. The man was an ardent palmist. He insisted that the lines in the hand were as trustworthy as the lines in the Bible. He said that the' wise ev-i erywhere believed in the palmist's 4 science.c "C'Now here,' he went on, opening 4 his hand, 'here is the life line.
