lists only were used and after which no
arrests were made. In those New Year
days the "rumshopS,' as they were called,
did Il land office business. Whisky was
plentiful and cheap, and the prejudice
against drunkenness was by no means so
general then as now.
The focal point of interest, however,
was the hiring out of negroes for the en-
suing year. Now and then negroes were
offered for public sale, but that practice
was not so common then as in the earlier.

Planters neither hired out their slaves,
nor did they employ those of other peo-

aren and widows, as we'll as many who
were ''chattel>" of residents of the towns
and villages were commonly ''hired out"

Much misconception obtains as to the
disagreeableness and shame of this prac.
tice. Masters had direct pecuniary in.

interest to see to it that these secured
humane employers. AS far as 1t was pos
sible, each slave was permitted to choose
the person for whom he would work,
Some there were who remained with the
same employers year by year for many
years. $50.

practically worthless, and these were
