mined to take a chance and with
his mind made up, he was going
through with it.
Tired was he Of getting up in
the mornings at 6 o'clock and la
boring under a hot broiling sun
all day in the field until 6 o'clock
at night. Tired of the whippings
which had tatooed his back. Tired
of the armed guards who paced
the plantation to prevent running
away. With these many reasons
for being tired, Clifton made a
dash for freedom and made good
his escape.
No longer afraid to talk and at
last away from the whip and the
gun, the man who never knew
before what it means to be free
could now talk without fear of
intimidation, and he talked a
a plenty.

JACKSON, MISS, Aug. 29. "a
NP)-Approximately 100 Negroes
and their children, and from 35
to 40 poor white persons are said
to be living in a state of slavery
just 10 miles from Mississippi's
capital city, it was disclosed here
last week.
A 3O-year-old escapee Waiver
Clifton, who fled from the penal
servitude which earlier had claim
ed the lives of his mother and
father, told in dramatic fashion
how the institution which led to
the Civil War flourishes today
within a short distance of the seat
now occupied by Gov. Fielding.
Tired of it all, Clifton was up
with the sun on the morning of
August IA, when he staked his
life on either getting away or
getting killed. Getting killed was
the one thing that scared" him
most, but he had at least deter

who inherftedA the estate, on the
death of his father some years
ago. The persons employed there
on are paid a monthly wage of
$50, Negroes and whites, and are
obliged to purchase most Of their
food and all of their clothes and
shoes from the plantation commits
sary. At the end of each month,
no one draws more than So in
cash after all bills have been paid.
Meat, bread, clothes and tobac-
co are obtained from Jenkins and
if at the end of the month pu-
chases exceed ones earnings, the
deficit is carried over to the fol-
lowing month. The workers are in
no position to tell what they owe,
since none of them, Negro or
white, can read or write. Neither
have any Of them attended a
school.
Two brothers of Jenkins, Eli
and Thomas Jenkins, and two 9TH
er white men are constantly on
guard. Son Williams and How
ard Thomson, two Negroes, are
also used in a similar capacity.
All guards carry whips and guns.
The whips are used in instances
where persons do not work fast
enough. Continued refusal to
speed up the work often results
in the employee being forced to
kneel on cotton seeds for two
hours.
Houses consisting of two rooms,
a bedroom and a kitchen, afford
shelter for the workers. A boy on
reaching the age of Is or 16 is
free to take any girl he chooses
and live with her as man and
wife. The whites do the same, but
within their group. Cousins live
with cousins and one man who
lost his common law wife, is now
living with his daughter. A Ne
gro discovered having an affair
with a white woman was shot in
the forehead and killed by a
guard. The murdered man was
wrapped in a sheet and buried in

Waver, who says that jenkins
told him his birthday was June
10, says that his father, Charles
Clifton, was about SO years of
age when the modern Legree shot
him in the leg with a pistol be-
cause he wouldn't work. Clifton
was taken to the doctor the next
day for doctors r not permitted
to come to the plantation, neither
are peace officers. However, gan
greene set in and Clifton died
within two weeks. The mother of
Waiver, Mrs. Creecy Clifton, died
six years ago as the result of a
stroke.
Going to church on Sundays is
a must" on the plantation, says
Waiver, but on the Sunday he
planned to run away, going to
church was a secondary consider

even telling his wife, Waiver left
and after making his way through
the swamps and thickets, finally
reached the highway-the high
way that was to guide him to
