Immediately the place became a

confusion merged into semblance of
order. In this time of fear and sor-
row such things as the difference in

sorrows drew people together and
terror drove out of their minds con-

Gangs of dark men were drafted

lowing the wagons that carried the
sand sacks, and all day they labored
at piling the sacks against the crumb-

terrible work, and for it they received
little, if any, pay.
Most of them accepted the situa-

the dark ones of the South. They
took what came. They were resigned,
and went about their labors quietly.
