THE BARKsDALE BILL TO EXPEL
FREE PERSONS OK COLOR
FROM THE STATE.
Senter's Vote on the IniQuitons
and Inhuman Measure.

On the 9Th of October, 1859. Mr..
Barksdale, who was d member of the
Legislature at that tiihe introduced u
bill to expel free PERSONS of color from
the State, (Which we will not give for
want Of space.) On the 9th day Of
January, he offered bill in lieu. ESee
page 456, House Journal, Session
Onthe third and last reading Of the
bill, Senter voted AYE. [Seo House
Journal 185g.'6O, page 1861
Now, we shall examine u few of the
iniquities of this BILL. In the first
place, it was made the duty of tho
Circuit Court Clerks to take proof
and report instanter, if practicable,
what estate Is owned BY FREQ persons
Of color, and In those where a sufH-
cient amount 10 owned, to defray ex-
penses to Liberia and six months
support thereafter; IL was made the
duty of the Clerk Of such cbunty to
take tho PROPERTY Of the coloted man,
convert II into inoney--tbB result of
the coloted mans hard earnings--and
ship him TO Liberia. Until this con-
version could be made, the f)itthor du.
ty devolted upon the clerk 10 hire out
the coloted man, until thsre was q
sufficient amount TO transfer him.
Whilst he was performing the requir.
cd service as hireling, the Govern.
or's Office was made the depository OF
tho proceeds thereof, and he was to
order the exile Of the poor, unfortu.
nate colorod man, when q sufficient
amount accumulated. The samo Soc
ton provides that the colofed man
who bad no money TO carry him

fore be took his seat, subscribed to an

things as will be found in the follow
ing oath.

BY D. MACKLEY.

When can first remember, the set
tlemOnt in the south part Of this county
was sparse. DR.. McNeel lived two
miles and a half north east of where
my father lived. He was considered a
near neighbor although there were
some persons who resided nearer than
he did. Moses Massie, Robort Massie,
James Phillips, Jesse Kelly and Solo
mon Mackley, resided one mile distant,
south and east On the west, the near
est neighbor was John White, nearly
four miles distant. Then on the south
west it was all a wilderness until you
reached the residence of John Canter,
known as sold Jack Canter," some
eight miles distant. Personsnow may
reside for years in the same town and
never become acquainted. Families
have lived for years on the same street
on which l now live, and l do not know
them, or know their names. Prior to
the year 1886, when the Welsh com
menced their settlement in the south
part Of the county, think our family
were well acquainted with every per-
son residing within ten miles, and with
many beyond that distance. 1t was
twelve miles south to the place where
Webster is now located, yet we were
we'll acquainted with John Clingman,
Henry Richart, and others who resided
there. On Hale's Creek, from eight to
ten miles distant, resided Hiram Will
son, N. L. Daniels, Samuel Brady Will
liam Roll ms, William Jackson, Joseph
and William Price, and few others,
with all of whom we were we'll &C
quainted. Then east, as far as Adams.
vile, were our nelghbors. Jordan
Manring resided beyond Centreyille
ten miles distant, and he was one O
our, near neighbors, and intimate
friends. Even as late as from 1886 tt
1910, thought it nothing strange tc
go to house raising or log rolling
from two to five miles from home. The
nearest store or postoffice was at Jack
son, thirteen miles distant, and the
nearest mill, except hand mills or horse
mills, was on Raccoon, fifteen mile
distant, There was no steam mill il
