MY TALK WITH PLANTER. /
What have said has been fully illustrated to me BY
Dxperience While In North Carolina one day.
planter made complaint to the Freedman's Bureau
about his hands having threatened to leave him when
hey received their first installment Of monthly pay.
He begged the officer charge to to his plantation

man, and anxious to deal ont justice to all. consented
10 TO- But when payday came he was compelled 10
attend 10 some other important business, and.
NOT wanting to dsappont the helpless planter he asked
me if would 60 out and settle affairs. readily &C.
vented the proposition and the planter and rode
