HUGH REILLY CO. 1334 New York Avenue PAINTS Wholesale Retail | | I | | ter to The Star. To the Editor of The Star: I have read with much pleasure your editorial in The Star of April 8, |f: under the heading of “The Law as to Peonage.” ) Your comments on the C! the evil is as broad any one could wish would be no further oc emarks if 1 was not con even the best informed of the peo- ple in the north have no idea how prevalent this itution is in most of the southern been in vogue in lina, Georgia, w and the South Mis practiced and approved of it, nor did they really know they were violating any law. They were not guilty of the heinous offenses charged to Williams and his sons, but they practiced the crime in some form or other in viola- tion of the federal law. In these states larceny is made a crime, which, on conviction, carries the penalty of dis- franchisement and incarceration in the penitentiary. The value of the article stolen does not matter. It may be an old shirt, a chicken, a hat, or horse and wagon. The law was made to find an excuse to disfranchise as many negroes as possible, and if a boy of twelve was held for stealing even a melon he was never allowed the right of franchise. On conviction of such light offenses | as 1 have mentioned, the judge. feel- ing that the crime was too trivial to merit a sentence of one year in the penitentiary (which was the lightest sentence which could be imposed) would inquire if there was a farmer present who would pay the costs of the court and take the culprit for a year, so that he would thus be free to mingle with his fellow: at nights and on Sundays. Some farm- er would come forward and the pris- oner was sold and warned that if he tried to escape he would be forced to spend his days in the penitentiary. The culprit, of course, gladly accepted the offer, and his relatives and friends were made happy with the thought that he had escaped the horrors of the and | @ penitentiary, which were depicted by |brutal treatment, and if he does his em- | 1f 80, most of the farmers of Georgla the returned convicts, who cruel beatings for the most trivial of- fenses and. the denial of all rights and privileges of human beings. The vagrancy laws are instruments that send only colored men to peon- age. No strange colored man is al- lowed to run at large more than ten days unless he has applied for a job, and it matters not how much money he has upon his person. In fact, if he has a good sum it militates against him, as he is sure to be suspected as a thief and get a longer sentence to bondage, and there is no chance of his paying a fine and escaping sen- tence. No white man is considered a vagrant if he remains idle for months or vears. so that he refrains from committing any other offense. Another cause of peonage is the landlord and tenant acts of that sec- g laborers are croppers. i means that they work for a certain part of the crop. and not for wages. {The landowner furnishes the horse- { o tools and other things needed 1d sces to it that the cropper is fur- hed provisions from his commis- sary' or grocer of his se . The price of supplies.is exorbitant, 8o that at the end of the vear the laborer finds himself in debt, even after he has received his share of the crop. He finds he cannot leave his employer though he receives while in his debt r INGROWN TOE NAIL Few Drops Toughen Skin so Nail Turns Out Ttself ROP" a_little “Outgro” upon the skin surrounding the in- growing nail.
