they are afraid to remain here, we fill
very much fear.
It has been only a few years since :
we went to Calhoun Falls on an N
early train on which was a military tion
company going to keep negroes from in t
leaving this county. It was claimed 'offlc
that they were under contract to la- a fn
bor for this or the other man. and post
that they were violating the con-iredi
tracts by leaving after having re Witl
ceived advances, and the strong arm tent
