ficials at work securing evidence against
those who play the part Of slave owners
in number of states. The victims OF
this peonage system are not all colored
men, although a majority are. In re-
cent statement made to the department
Of justice by one OF its agents, white
men are shown to be the slaves.
This case came to light in South Caro-
lima, and the men were Italians. They
had been engaged in New York, but
when they arrived in South Carolina
they discovered they were to work In .
phosphate mine. They refused to do SO,
but the master said they could rot aban-
don the work, as they owed for their
transportation, and must work out that
debt. Guards we're stationed over them,
and in the face Of weapons they were
compelled to work out this alleged debt.
One of the men escaped and made known
the terrible condition Of his comrades,
which led to the interference Of the
government.

ant upon the celebration 1nter1ered.
All day long the wierd music had
sounded in his ears. He had shared
in the feasting; he had watched the
dancing, and every now and then had
caught glimpse of the fair daughter
OF Beeri as she circled with the other
damsels about the great image, but
the opportunity he wanted most elud-
ed him, as though it would hold him
long in doubt and give him time to
weigh the step he was about to take.
Circumstances were kind to him in
that they were making it hard for
him to take the misstep.
As he saw the people in ecstacy OF
their excitement shout the praises OF
their gods and bring tteir offerings
and lay lnem at the feet of the idol.
he had time to think and contrast It
with the worship OF the true God OF
his fathers. The words: Great is
the god Of the Hittites.' rang in his
ears-for priests and people chant
ed and shouted the words over
and over again-and he had time to
recall the words Of his father as he
had spoken OF the God-Jehovah, the
God Of heaven and earth. More than
once his heart had smote him. More
than once he had moved about un-
easily trying to throw OF the feeling
OF depression which came as result
OF conscious violation Of the faith and
practices OF his own people. Over
and over again he had been troubled
by the thought Of what his parents
would say. But his heart was rebelli-
GUS and impatient. He would not
listen to the voices speaking within.
He resolutely thrust aside the prompt
ings of his better self and declared
that he could take the girl without
taking her gods. He could have her
and leave the heathenish practices Of
her people behind. But have her he
would. All, how he quarrelled with
himself that day. How he stifed and
choked the better self into subsection.
Once while his host was standing
at his side and the people In q frenzy
were throwing themselves about the
altar before the image, Beeri had ex-
claimed, enthusiastically:
is not that impressive?"
And he had nodded assent. And
Beeri following up the point gained,
