Court decision on SC labor law unsettles farmers and planters
The State faces a ruling by Judge Brawley declaring Section 357 of the Criminal Code unconstitutional for enforcing farm contracts with Black workers Enoch and Elijah Drayton. The piece argues the decision disrupts crop harvests and argues for revised labor controls while noting Attorney General Lyon will appeal. The writer predicts possible new labor legislation by the next General Assembly and ends with a real estate notice by T S Sessions.
