pEoNAGn AND CONTRACTS

Recently a railrosd contractor in
East Tennessee, one r. B. oliver was
charged with the onense of peonage,

The case. as we understand it, has
not been made out against this con-
tractor but the allegations are doubt

up a tale of woe, asking him to lad
tide them over present troubles. The
contractor advances them what they
need. the laborers promising to pay 1t
back in work. They are given en-
pIoyment with the distinct understand
ing that they are to remain in the
employ of the contractor until he has
been paid what is due him. Then they
violate their contract obligation, run
away, leaving the debt unsettled. In
word they secure money and sup
contractor cOmpels them TO stay at his
works until the debt is discouraged ne
is doing nothing but what right anu
he does violate an aptiquated Federal
statute.
The News further says that when a
man goes to another man and agrees
TO sell him his labor for a specified
time there ought to We some law to
protect the employer in his rights,
and The News is correct. PeonaGe is
not only wrong in the eye of the law
but it is morally wrong. whether the
sufferers from it are white or colored
1t is a species of slavery that should
not be allowed, but the law should
protect the employer with as much
certainty as it aims to protect his al
legged victim. Cases like those sup
posed by The News do occur and there
is apparently no redress. True, when
money or anything else Of value is
advanced to the laDorer on condition
that he works certain specified time
and then he leaves before the expira-
ton of that time he is guilty OF OBJ
tanning money or goods under false
pretences but can he be con icted and

In an article, written by Will L.
Sheehan, under the caption, Barbour
County the States Office getter." which
appeared in your Issue of the 26th inst.
the writer seems to have overlooked
the fact that Hon. Jere n. Williams, the
peer of any congressman from the
gress for two terms. Judge Williams
was the first Democrat elected from
his district after the dark period of
reconstruction. Perhaps he would have
still been a representative, were 1t not
for the fact that at the time. it was
contrary to the custom of the Demo-
cratic party to nominate a man for
office more than two terms. Judge
Williams occupied the proud distinc,
from Alabama. who voted against the
Infamous Electoral Commission bin,
which enacted into law, prevented Hon.
Samuel j. Tilden from being president
of the United states. Judge Williams
was also appointed Chancellor of the
Eastern Division by Governor Thomas
C. Jones.
