to serious difficulties sometimes in
which the Bureau agents were
roughly handled.
No white men are known to have
been reported to the Bureau, or If
they were the consequences were
small. The reason why negroes did
not report them was that the white
men told them they would Kill
them or inilict some other punish
ment upon them in retaliation.
The negroes believed this and
would not report cases. On one
occasion Bob Mckinney was keep
ing a saloon and store at Athens.
Business being exceedingly great,
his wife was assisting him. During
the day big boisterous negro
came in and began to be insulting.
He was cursing and swearing and
about half drunk. He was boast
ing that he was going to take
things in" ana that he was not
afraid of any white man. Mckin-
ney went to the mayor OF Athens
and asked what he would fine him
for knocking down that negro.
The sum of 81 being agreed upon,
Mckinney went to his store and
soon brought the negro To the floor
by a blow on the head with club.
lie was brought up and had a
mock hearing before the mayor,
paid his 81, which was no doubt
returnrd, and the case dismissed.
The negro started for Aberdeen 10
report the case, but was sent for
and told the consequences. lie
turned back and nothing more
came of that case. Gen. 3 j.
Gholson says that the white men
and negroes were satisfied after the
war until the Freedman's Bureau
came in 1866. Says he himself
went to farming to protect the ne
groes whom he had raised and who
were starving.

great many and he used this place
to sell them. He had a faithful
old negro whom he used as a GO
between. - He sent the negro with
the melons and he always came
back with good results, often get
ting twice as much for the melons
as his employer could have gotten.
This shows the discrimination and
the way they stood in with the
negroes.

Reconstruction in Monroe County,
BY f.. r. Puckett, b. ). 1900.
tContinued from last issue

Another way the negroes were
kept from voting was to have them
listening to a good speaker, thus
making them lose sight of the
fight of time until it was too late
to vote. Such devise was resorted
TO at Loohatan, the first place south
Of Muldon on the Mobile IL Ohio
railroad. The democrats had the
| following speakers there: j. ID.
McClusky. Needham Hatch, Mr..
Croomes and Capt. Brock of West
Point; also f. G. Beckett. Brock
was the speaker of the occasion.
Beckett says he was a past master of
abuse and PHILIPPE and used it in
portraying the most Objectionable
features of the constitution. The
result was that he entertained the
negroes so well and SO long that
when they took note of the hour, it
was far too late for all of them to
vote.

v.-FREEDMAN' 5 BUREAU.
Colonel Vassar, a United States
officer, stationed at Aberdeen with
the United States troops, was at
the head of the Freedman's Bu-
reau. Capt r. f. Houston says
that his actions and his attitude
toward what was right showed that
he was at heart a friend of the
Southern white men. 1t was
through him that all contracts had
to pass, and he saw that they were
good from the standpoint of both
parties-the negro and the white
man. They undertook to regulate
contracts between the white people
and household servants. This it
seems to me was the Objectionable
feature Of the Bureau, that was to
have a mans actions so surveyed
and his freedom of action restrain
ed 10y having to submit to such sur
veillance.
The Freedman Bureau had u
demoralizing effect on the negro.
II diminished his economic value
by throwing into his path irresist-
ible temptations to idleness, by a
vain illusory promise of 40 acres
and a mule. With such promises
many of the negroes fiocked To the
camps at Aberdeen, were fed by
the troops and hung around in
idleness waiting for their assign
ments. The newspapers were very
full of denunciations of the action
of the Bureau, and were very bitter
against such state of affairs.
