For years her cOnvicts have been sold
into the mines, into the brick kilns.
into the factories. where private greed
sometimes demanded and collected its
last ounce Of human flesh and its final
drop OF human blood. But the State
decided to abolish this traffic In white

selling its 1.6O0 prisoners Il will work
them on the public roads.

Though shackled and ironed, the
cOnvicts greeted the change with
shouts OF Joy and weird hymns OF
Negro preachers were at most OF
the stOckades and led the blacks In
