! would look for tigers and bears which
were loose roaming over the country

or have home is also punishable in
Il similar way, the criminal class will
soon diminish either by emigration
or reformation, and conditions will
rapidly improve.
The difficulty of getting labor for
amy sort Of work in the country and
in the towns lies at the very root of
all Of our troubles.

cause some white man who loves dol

"The negroes who would suffer un-

grncs who are no good as workers any
where. and there is nn loss Of labor in
protecting our women by ridding the

| keep them on the chain~an~ until We
can drive them to their friends be-
yund Mason and Dixons line. Make
them 90 up to their dearly beloved
Yankee friends and raise hell up
there, and let them stay.
