There were three or four of us Michiganders at
the same hotel in Montgomery. and all were
amazed at the sight of so many colored men loaf
lug their time away on the street. The man from
Ionia County finally thought he'd make few in
quiries, and beckOning to a salwart black, who
had spent the last two hours on the curbsone, he
asked.

Not jist now, sah.'
Have you ever tried farming?"
"Oh, yes"
"And how did you come out?"
