CREDIT STRUCTURE SOUND

Although business has endur-
ed one of the sharpest declines
on record, yet there is no credit
strain corresponding to that
which developed following the
break of 1929, says the United
Business Service in it's current
report.
In a general way three ele-
ments are involved in measur-
ing imitation or deflation; the
quantity of money, the rapidity
Of it's circulation and the flow
of goods and services moving
to market. The credit structure
of the nation is stable and sound
in the belief of leading financ-
ial men, who have made careful
study of the conditions and they
expect an upturn in business
as a result.

FORMER SLAVE, los, RE-
CALLS SLAVERY DAYS
Was 10S Years Old May 30, Born
80 years Before Civil War:
Has a Keen Mind and Clear
Memory of Events, Etc.

Life is long and tortous
road, with many curves and COW
cred with pitfalls, but Mrs, AIDE
line Bentley has bdan travell-
ing it for 108 years. She was
10S years old May 30, 1888.
Looking back over the years
since that warm May day when
she was born a slave on the
plantation of Gus Bentley, in
Crawford county, Georgia, in
1880, Mrs. Bentley while admit
ting that many dark shadows
had been cast over her life, is
happy in the knowledge that
she is at peace with God.
Although she was born 30
years before the Civil War, her
mind is keen, and she sends it
skipping back over the years
with nimbleness that was
astonishing to the interviewer.
She recalls wildly those days
when slaves were rushed into
large pens the first Tuesday
after each New Years Day,
stripped of their clothes, and
sold like cattle
my master did not go to the
war" she said, "He was Wing,
and was not liked by the other
nIont alton owners
THE slaves could not buy any
clothes during the war. The
Confederate money was not any
good. A pair of shoes cost 500.
We slaves were kept busy spin
ming cloth for uniforms for the
soldiers. We had to hide food,
silver and stock from the Yam
KEGS when Lincoln's soldiers
came.
Before the war the slaves
were not allowed 10 visit the diff
ferent plantations. If they were
, caught off the plantations by
'paterollers, they were whipped
THE food was very bad. That
is the reason why ] love the Re-
publicans. They fixed it so ]
could get some ham. I'll love
Lincoln to my grave.
"W e were not told by our
master that we were free. We
Just found it out. After the war
hundreds of Negroes were whip
ped to death by the Ku KluX
Klan because they talked of be-
ing free"
Asked what she had done to
live SO long, Mrs. Bentley replied,
ITS not me, it's the good Mas
ter.
Mrs. Bentley said her mother
Icame from the elephant land
Africa and was brought to
America as a child.
Mrs. Bentley is the mother of
y children, three of whom were
born before the Civil War. There
are three children now living.
She lives with her daughter,
Mrs Lola Willis, at 1O237 Card
, oni street. She has 1S grand
children, - great Rrandchil-
dren. and six great great grand
children. A son, John Bentley,
lives i'm Georgia. Her husband
died 40 years ago.
Mrs. Bentley has been living
/ i'm Detroit for Ii years. She at
tends Corinthian Baptist church
| i'm Hamtramck every Sunday.
She receives an old-age pension.
Although the years have bur
rowed deep into the flesh Of
Mrs. Bentley, there is evidence
that she was a strong woman
during the days when she was a
slave. Detroit Tribunt.
