Book Reveals Free
Negroes Shareholders
BY MILTON SCOTT

Thousands of Americans are de-
scendants of Negroes who were
free before the Civil War.
In fact one out of every seven
Negroes in the United States was
free in 1890 Some of these free
Negroes owned large plantations
in the South.
This information and other wide
ly unknown facts were revealed
by the late DR.. Carter G.. Wood
sons in a book entitled Free Ne
gro Heads of Families in the Unit
ed States in 1890"
The general belief among most
Negroes and almost all whites is
that all Negroes in America before
the Civil War were slaves or tenn
porary indentured servants.
1t is a revelation, indeed, that
any Negroes in America ever
owned slaves. According to the
record, a goodly number of Ne
groes in the South before the Civil
War owned large tracts of land
and had from 10 to 200 slaves on
each plantation.
There was one Negro in Lexing-
ton, Ky. in 1880 worth 5000, 900,
according to DR.. Woodson. The
richest merchant in Macon, Ga.
was a free Negro. A free Negro
named Thomas Lafon in New
Orleans had half million dollars
in real estate. A man named Cyp-
rian Ricard of Louisiana bought
an estate for 1925, 900 including
81 slaves.
Woodson disclosed that Marie
Metover of Natchtoches owned
1000 acres and so slaves, and
Charles Rogues Of the same city
owned At slaves.

Pittsburgh amp - The newly

any challenge by the National

Leaving the Trotters in London
to make a special trip here to

as strategic points in the forma-
ton of the league as Pittsburgh,
