A cynical novel
of the South
Reviewed by
KENNETH HILL

The HoTncasters. BY Victor H.
johnson. Gxeenberg. New York.
$Z.7S.
This is short novel of lynch
terror In the present-day South.
In that respect it does not reveal
anything which has not already
been told and retold, either in fic-
ton or reportage, of the oppres-
sien and brutality fomented against
the Negro below the Mason and
Dixon line.
Mr.. johnson tells the story of
Lorry Thomas, a Negro farm hand,
who comes back from the war to
his old job on the Stuarts' to-
bacco plantation.
Lengthy war service as a tech
nician has given Lorry a degree
of confidence and independence,
which, upon his return home, he
discovered was not in the least
rewaFding; certainly not with the
Stt1arts.
They are none too pleased when
Lerry quits his farm chores to buy
a boat with Danny Norris, a white
veteran, and the two take up crab
bling as livelihood.
TROUBLE comes when Eliza
beth, the Stuarts' feeble minded
daughter, is found in the hayloft
fatally beaten. Flimsy evidence,
Enthusiastically conceived by Sher-
man Stuart, directs the guilt at
Lorry. With rope and guns the
manhunt is on.
Lorry is saved from a lynching
by the Norrises but the blood
thirsting mob, after burning Lorry's
shack, finally catches the girls
real assailant. The author pulls
no punches to describe the CORY
lynching of Booksie, the under
sized Negro farm hand. And as
a climax to the paroxysm of vio-
lence, Lorry is ambushed and shos
to death.
One wonders what Mr.. John
son expected to accomplish in the
writing of this book. His portrayal
of Negro characters is crude,
sketehy, and often-times down
right unsympathetic.
In contrast to the authors self
portrayal as a one-tine militant
striker among West Coast seamen,
his novel, on the other hand, points
to racism as an unsolvable prob
lem. He ignores the growing forces
of progress in the South. Instead
his narrow outlook is cynical and
defeatist, the kind of approach
which helps maintain the status
quo.

small timber is our good fortune. We
can grow a crop of small timber much
quicker than we can grow a crop Of
large timber. We can market this
small timber, every piece, down to a
mine prop. This, however, does not
mean treeless future for our county,
as you have implied. Far from it! In
stead. it means, each time after cut
ting, thick, dependable regrowth,
which the owner will be able to cut
again in about fifteen years and sell.
at a profit. During the interval, in
which the owner is awaiting new
crop, there will be no death of water
in this land where the young timber
is growing up, more thickly than ever
before
There is no need for a compromise,
as you have suggested, on the sub
ject Of public control over private
property; just let our land owners
alone. They know how to get full
value from their timber crops, and
free unhampered use of timber by our
land ownres, under each owners own
competent management, is the one
sure way to guarantee a decent and
prosperous future for our children. 1t
is the American way, and that is the
only way for us to remain free.

= tective Association, is strictly non
partisan, and will remain that way,
but we have observed that the Re-
/ publican party like much of the Demo
cratic party. stands for freedom OF
private enterprise, less governmental
controls, more incentives to individu-
al initiative, and an end to excessive
restrictions and regulation over
private business.
In your front page editorial last
week. you have proved that you
favor just the opposite view. For
some time now, you have been lend
ing the columns of your paper to the
small groups of individuals who are
planning to slip the shackles of con-
troll over the heads of the Land and
Timber owners of this County. In
that editorial you broadly hint that
those Of us who are opposing the so
called Forest Conservancy Act, are
short sighted. You say, that eve are
already feeling the effects of unwise
timber slashing." By what standards
do you judge? Certainly not by your
own knowledge of timber, for we
know, that you know, almost nothing
about timber, and are therefore not
"a competent person to advise the
people on that subject. You arrive at
your present conclusions, no doubt.
by reading the type propaganda that
has been flowing out of the State
Forestry Department., and coming on
down to the people through the col
umns of your misguided paper. You
don't know, and could not distinguish
wise and economic timber cutting
from the most fragrant and unwise
slashing and wasteful methods.
Neither, does the State Forestry De-
partment, whom you are supporting.
Yet, you have joined in this shame
full campaign to deprive some two
thousand land owners of their prop
erty. In the name of Conservation
you would help the incompetent
public board to slip the shackles of
distress upon our rural population.
Under the guise of a Scant supply of
water, you advocate the desecration
of our liberties. If water is low it is
not because of timber slashing. as
you call it. Consumption of water has
been increasing every year. The old
reservoirs of by-gone days when very
few houses had bath rooms and SAM
tary systems, and when industry used
less than one tenth of the water that
these places now must have, are not
able to supply the needs of the pres
cnt day. The answer to this problem.
Is to harness more springs, build
more reservoirs, and if necessary. die
deeper into the earth There is very
little, if any, unwise timber slashiny
going on in Garrett County, all re-
ports to the contrary notwithstand-
ing. Our land owners are cutting their
timber conservatively, and wisely

used to furnish water for a Bottling
industry and other purposes. But the
timber surrounding it is now gone.
Other places in the county could be
cited. One has only to use his eyes
and he doesn't have to be a forest
technician or timberman to know
that.
Mr.. Friends reasoning on water
consumption can't really ''hold water
either. The paper mill harnesses
water from the Potomac but after it
is used in the mill it goes out again
into the Potomac. Likewise water
used in sanitary systems of towns
eventually get back to the streams.
Records show there is as much rain
fall as formerly but with a faster
run-of due to timber slashing the
ground does not have time to absorb
it. You can't harness more springs
when there aren't any to harness.
We judge the effects of unwise
timber cutting by our water supply
which is vital to the existence of all
of us, and no expert is needed to tell
US that water is becoming scarce in
natures underground storage system.
Mr.. Friends unwarranted attack
has followed a general pattern over
the years. A disagreement with his
views usually brings a charge of un-
worthy motives and makes insinu-
ations that were never thought Of.
We are confident that nine-tenths
of our timber and land owners cut
their timber wisely and are conser-
vationists and would welcome some
solution to our common problem, the
restoration of our dWindling water
supply, and we are just as ready as
they are to fight against too much
control and encroach-
ment of our individual liberties.
