terviewing down to such an exact
science, that one of them concluded
yesterday to interview a bunch OF
counties and parishes. The result will
prove interesting reading to the citi-
zens of Warren county and other adj
jacent counties and the parishes of
Louisiana ear here. The subject is
one of vital importance to the citizens
of the whole South.
The interview began with Kinds,
by a request to know of her how she
got along without Radical negro
bosses?
"Oh, they are a thing of
the past with my people," re-
piled Kinds, "and l look back to the
day when they lorded it over them as
one of the darkest in our history"
GLOW are you getting along now ?
Are the relations between the races
peaceful, and are both races prosper
ous?"
"The county looks like a land of
plenty; its warrants and even its jury
certificates are at par. The races get
along better than at any period since
the war. They always do where there
are no miserable, lying, avaricious
scoundrels to array the blacks
against the whites. 1 will never
submit to that sort of thing again.
Just look at poor old Warren, where
you live, Mr.. --."
"Never mind Warren, Miss Kinds,
and don't interview me, l am trying to
get some information from you. Good
morning"
claiborne County"
"Here sir"
"Well Miss, what have you got to
say about negro bosses?"
Nothing, sir; they are a luxury we
have dispensed with for many years.
What Kinds says suits our case exact
ly. How is it about Warren ?"
THAT II do, None of your imperti-
hence, Miss"
"Tensas PARISH"
"Oh, we have had no negro boss,
since old Hough found the Court
house locked against him. Charlie
Cordill and Tullis Watson, want to
know why you Warren fellows, who
do your share Of Boosting, submit to
Beck ?"
"There now that'll do, Miss Tensas.'
Madison PARISH"
"You know all about our affairs.
What is the use asking about negro
bosses? The last one we had
Major Crandall and Albert Gibson
snapped off for a "yaller" dog,
and then shot the dog. Send Beck
over, "we have about twenty negroes
to n white man, but we can take
care Of them and Beck added in for
good measure"
"~Issaquena County,"
"The white people Of this county
manage it, and don't you forget it.
Frank Anderson says he hopes Beck
will treat you Warren fellows well,
after he buys up the county"
"Sharkey County"
"Our people have delight
ed to copy after Warren,
but we can't do it while she belongs
to a Radical, negro Boss. Our white
people do all the bossing required.
Everybody is satisfied and, both races
are prosperous"
warren County,
"If you please, sir ; l would like to
explain, as a Beck Democrat said in
the County Convention. have a negro
boss at present, but he is so costly,
and is disgracing me so rapidly, 1 have
determined to depose him in Noyem-
Der. Some Of my people are bound
him (bought up?) by business re-
l%ations, and some are bought with
money ; the others, thank God, are
true to me, and after November 1 will
not refer to myself with shame and
degradation"
