to take the money out Of danger, for
Sherman was approaching the city.

two camps; the old time Southern families
denounced them as criminal and jailbirds
and Stunned them, but the younger element,
largely represented by the returned soldiers
and women and girls who had been active
war workers at home and overseas stoutly
defended the offenders. This has resulted
in a widespread and entirely new line Of
social cleavage in a land where social posi-
ton is vital factor in daily life
The high prices of cotton from 1916 to
1919 drew all white men to that work then
so very profitable and gradually they passed

on the respective plants that are known to
appeal to their tastes. Some Of the birds
will feed on almost any plant, but this species
is very small indeed. Others will die of star

sensitive taste is furnished. They eat and
grow until the time they change formation
by developing into those wonderfully mys-
terious chrysalides. Later. they release
themselves from the cocoon shrouds and

is the case with the white moonshiner,
relying on his agreements with his white
boss to protect him.
Usually this plan worked greatly to the
white mans financial gain and the darkies
also made money but many instances were
noted wherein the negroes failed to deliver
the agreed share OF the whiskey and were
promptly arrested by State officers, but their
stills we're never destroyed, for the true pro-
prietor OF the still had another negro ready
TO run II. Often the trip to the Jail re-
suited in the arrested negro's obtaining his
release by making good the missing whiskey
and swearing to work honestly thereafter. so
he was often back on the job, singing at his
work the very next day
These arrests and bonding out operations
are regarded by Southern white people as
quite ordinary and by no means cases of
"peonage" in the meaning of the United
States laws.
Charges have been made that some white
men abuse this system TO such an extent
money that they will pay for the release of
a wandering, non-fanily type of darRy. The
unattached young colored men fall easy vic
TINS to the worst element of the white men,
and of such were the eleven poor fellows
done to death by axe and the waters OF the
Yellow River in the Williams case. Students
of this system declare that definite under
standing exists between officers Of city pris-
ons and the county court houses to supply
as many farmhands as their friends need
upon request. 1t is obvious that their fnan-
cial benefit from this traffic is satisfactory
to them.
The clash OF moonshine interests came
last fall when with the price OF cotton down
and white landowners and storekeepers fac
ing ruin, the negro distiers came into
their own in a wholesale way. They needed
only a hint to set up a still and in one
small county 100 stills were known to be
in operation last November. 1t was at this
time, too, that the young white farmers
who had set up and were operating their
own stills had gotten their moonshining
so well under way that prospects seemed
bright for them to offset their cotton losses
bv liquor profits,
Here the trouble began, since the stills
operated by colored men were large and
numerous and well protected by the county
ring" who saw sharp competition in the
