A small dealer in Augusta, not so] long ago in telling of a store robbery j entered the complaint that store tb loves were not sufficiently punished in the courts thal ubout the same baud of thieves did all the small rob bet les. Ketort was made to this kkk. and as a result ol' the argument that carne on it was disclosed that tho small dealer, a short while be f?te, in tho case of negro thief con victed and sentenced, had pleaded to Ute court for the negro; bad endeav ored to have the convict's punishment reduced to a flue or the imposed fine reduced, und had finally paid the eon viet's tine, recuring his release, lt wat- explained as a case of "pay- j iug out my nigger." And lhere Is much of it-too much of it some say. It is stated tbat in Edgelield county. S. C. the voice of a negro preacher bas been raised in protest against the practice of many white employers of paying their negro employes and other negroes out of trouble in the courts. The complaint is made that very often "bad" negroes are saved from the chalngaug service and are turned loose on the community te commit other crimes, when they should be kept for a time under guard as punishment for their misdeeds. The Churleston News and Courier quotes from a letter the preacher, the Kev. Frank Weaver. wrote to the Kdgetield Advertiser, about a homicide that occured at a church recently. He wrote that lt had been his ex perience that nearly all of the crimes committed at negro churches were ttie work of negroes who had been "bought out of crimes." und he pre dicted that "as long as these bad boys are paid out of bad crimes and sent back on our good people, we cannot hope for much better times." Discussing this, the Savannah News takes the correct position. The in ference .is that the negroes who sell their labor to white employers in ex change for fines paid the courts for their freedom think they can commit crimes right-and left and escape the c'-aingang terms because their labor is in demand. Of course, they prefer to work out their fines In freedom than on the chaingang, but the preacher protests that they are free, while they are working out their tines to commit other erl- ea'dnd that they do not fail to commit them. "Conditions in South Carolina and in Georgia in this particular." says The News are pretty much the same. The question arises as to whether it ls not better to give real puishment to negroes convicted of minor crimes, than to add their ti um hers to the labor supply by paying their fines and so encouraging them in their criminal tendencies. It seems evident' that if the bad negroes get the idea that they can break laws and cause disturban ces with comparative immunity from punishment, they will continue to cause trouble, and the other . negroes will follow, their example. Tbo. prob lem suggested by it he preacher is not confined to tbs xufal districts,-but-in of more importance! in the cities." The T?ews adds: , '.. , "Anything that tends . to increase criminal tendencies among the ne groes of the South cannot , fail to work to the disadvantage of the South. Crime statistics of the sec tion are seldom divided into those that concern white persons and those that concern negroes. They are lumped together and tho white people suffer in the w?rld's ' >bifiliation for the crimes the negroes commit. The question the Cdgcmeld county preach er causes to bo asked ls one that should be studied by everybody who is interested in decreasing the num ber of crimes committed in the S?I??H."
