A man writes to inquire: "How
should Christians treat Jews?" This
is the way one Christian treated one
Jew. It is an old story, but worth
the re-tolling. The late William M.

liuuterbnch's bill was only $1,11(1.
IiUiiterbach's thankful acknowledg

refusal of the government to sanc

that any obstacle will be met, as the

the government after the organiza
tion as are taken now in the smallest

italization is to be $100,000,000. This

Montgomery, Ala., June 22. Thus
far, authentic cases of peonage
slavery is a better word have been
found In three counties of Alabama
Tallapoosa, Coosa and Lowndes. Tho
last named county is still under scru
tiny. The sheriff is accused of main
taining peons in addition to controll
ing the regularly convicted county
prisoners. His name is Dixon, nnd he
is one of five brothers who dominate,
the politics of Lowndes county.
The most shocking disclosures of
the investigation thus far center in
the counties of Coosa and Tallapoosa.
Hero peonage in its worst form has
apparently thrived for at least 15
years. Coosa countj' seems to have
engaged largely in the business of cre
ating peons and then selling them to
the slave drivers of Tallapoosa coun
ty. John W. Puce, ex-sheriff of Tulln
poosu County, Is recognizee! ns tlie
most persistent violator of the state
law against peonage. Pace is the
wealthiest and most powerful mnii
in Tallapoosa county. His plantation
is one of tlie richest and largest in
that region of the state. Pace hns
for years employed the countj' con
victs of Tallapoosa and maintains as
part of his establishment a stockade
with cells, a kennel of bloodhounds
and a force of armed guards. Tho
supply of regular county convicts in
Tallapoosa county was never equal to
the demands of Pace's business. lie
required between 10 nnd CO negroes
nearly all the year round to operate
his mines nnd sawmill, his grist mill
nnd to till his fields. He found it
profitable to secure ills help hy creat
ing peons rather than hy directly
employing negro Inborers who volun
tarily offered their services to him'.
Sunru eilrl Fourteen IMoiitli a Slave.
Atlanta, Ga., June 22. In the con
vict camps of. Georgia the people oi
this state have revived the worst
features of slavery. Negroes are
herded in stockndes and camps,
whipped for trivial offenses nnd com
pelled to marry against their will nnd
without legal ceremony. They nre
forced to do degrading labor without
pay. The grand jury of Wayeross,
Ga., has been Investigating the slave
pen known as the Mcllee camp, with
the result that -a shocking condition
of affairs has been discovered. Lulu
Fruzier lived at Wayeross with her
husband nnd child. She was arrested
on a charge of bigamy by "One-Arm
Charlie," a professional "crime
hunter." She was kept in jail three
weeks and then tried and acquitted.
Her lawyer was William Crawley. He
charged her $50, which she couldn't
pay. Frank Mclloc paid Crawley the
$50, and the court sent the woman
to the Mellee camp for 11 months to
work out that amount. Her story
told to the county commissioners
after she had been rescued by the
sheriff under orders of the grand
jury may bo taken as evidence of the
shocking condition of affairs in the
Georgia slave pens.
