General Orders No. 10.
10 regulate the division of crops. where
freed people are working for share thereof, |
and to protect both the employer aud employ.
ecs from the injurious results arising from the |
practice of some persons in buying the crops
in small quantities from the freedmen. paying

ue, whereby many of the freed people are left |
impoverished, it is ordered:
That where freed people are working plan
tations for share of the crop, the owner of

in which to store the cotton--making sepa-
rate apartment for each person employed

until all the crop is gathered when it will be |
divided, either before or after it is gnned, MS

building will be fastened by lock, and the key
placed in charge of some person in whose hon
esty all have confidence Tho cotton can be |
weighed as it is stored, that all may know the
amount of cotton picked each day.
No person will sell or in any way dispose of
any part of the crops, where the owner Of the
land has share, until after n division is fair
ly made, but the parties may divide at any
time they may mutually agree upon, and when
they cannot agree, and no officer O.. agent can
be present, they may chooses person in whom
they have confidence to make division and
settlement.
In all cases, officers and agents will render
every assistance in their power to prevent un-
fairness or dishonesty, and will see that ac-
counts between employers aud employees for
labor or advances Of provisions or money be
Justly arranged before either of the parties
dispose of their respective shares of the crop.
