With the land go certain privileges, such as those heretofore enumerated.
Q.6.How many hours do the laborers work?
-- A.

This is an extremely difficult question to answer.
Under the wages system, from sunrise to sunset, with a rest for dinner of from one and one-half to three hours, according to the season of the year.
Under the share or rental system there is much time lost; for instance, they seldom work on Saturday at all, and as the land is fertile, and a living can be made on a much smaller acreage than a hand can cultivate, they generally choose one-third less than they should, and it is safe to say that one third of the time which could and would be utilized by an industrious laborer is wasted in fishing, and hunting, and idleness.
Q.7.Under what system do you work?
-- A.

We are forced to adopt all systems heretofore stated.
We prefer, however, the tenant system.

We wish to make small farmers our laborers, and bring them up as nearly as possible to the standard of the small white farmers.

But this can only be done gradually, because the larger portion of the negroes are without any personal property.
