Those. who lived, just prior to t-ht?
Civil W:w. and were conversant wit h
the events transpiring in those days
which n (I lip to( that great conflict,
also know of the novel, "Undo Tom'?
C'abin,'-' written by Harriet Bcecher
Stowe, and the part it played in the
moulding of publje opinion. Compe
tent critics pronounced it overdrawn,
rentinientalized. an extreme instanee
rather than a typical example, but it
was effective. Today the hip news
papers over the country are taking up
again the question of .slavery, brought
about by the tragic death of young
Martin Tahert of North Dakota in
the fastnesses of a Florida forest,
which will cause him to become the
liberator of prisoners from the barb
arous treatment to which they have i
been subjected.
Martin Tabeit, w ho had grown up j
on his father's farm in North Dakota
and hud perhaps never been outside
of the county in which he had lived,
had divided to M?e a hit of the world,
and tak'ng some money with him,
drifted toward Florida, working at
times to increase his store. In Flor
ida he found labor conditions most
deplorable, and soon his money had
been spent. Then he made the fatal
mistake of riding on a Florida train
without a ticket. He was arrested
nd fined S2f>.()0 for vagrancy, ami no*,
being able to pay the line he was
farmed out to the Putnam Lumber |
Company for ninety days. We tele- j
graphed, to his brother for money and !

tog other with other prisoners were
brutally beaten .which would have
sickened the slave boater of thy ante
bellum days, anil which caused his
death. The New York World in thin,
regard has this to say:
"Out of the death in a Southern
convict camp of this farmer boy who
started out to 'see the world' has
arisen the extraordinary situation of
North Dakota, as a state, protesting
to Floi'da.
"Out of this protest in turn has
sprung the probability not only that
the law will avenge the boy's death,
hut th.?t . Florida will bring to an end
the 'peonage' system that has involv
ed thousands of wayfarers in that
state through many years. Governor
Hardee bus, indeed, declared his pur
pose of demanding this action at the
Session of the Florida legislature
which begins next week."
A telegram from a Northern paper
)>rought this reply from The Miami
(Flu.) Htrald:
"Right-thinking people of Florida
were appall* <1 by the charges made
by tlx- senate of North Dakota. Some
years ago convict leasing on the parti
f of the State was abolished by statute, '
but counties were still permitted to j
| lease short -time prisoners to what
were thought to be proper corpora-]
[t ions or individuals. The legislature
! believed 'hat it had made ample pro
i visions in t hi* law -to protect all pris
oners and t<> provide for their reason
1 sible comfort and absolute health. The
?Tabert incident disclosed to the peo
! pie of t h? state that its legislation
i was faulty and that there are loop
! holes in the law. The "whipping
j boss" through whose severity young
i Tabert came to his death has been
: indicted for murder in the Hist de
! gree. People in this state are hoping
| that, if he is guilty of the crime, he
1 will be convicted and punished. Ther*
is a strong demand for the removal
and punishment of the sheriff of Leon
county, through whose carelessness or
i otherwise the funds sent to release
young Tabert were not delivered to
him. The result in all probability of
this disclosure will be the immediate
passage by the legislature of Florida
l of a law abolishing the leasing of
convicts in any county."
Kquallv forthright is the statement
of the editor of t ho Tairlpa Times.
He telegraphs:
"The punishment of Martin Tabor*,
which undoubtedly brought his death,
was brutal and inhuman to the last
degree. No papers of any standing
in the state condone or attempt to
apologize for it. Many demand that
the perpetrators of the horrible out-'
rage be treated as common murderers
and punished to the full extent of the
raw. A few ignore it, fearing it will
react against the state. The leasing
of convicts to private persons or cor
porations has been abolished as i
practice of the state. It still exists:
in a few counties. If the death of
Martin Tabert shall lead to its total i
abolishment he will not have died in I
vain. We hope and believe that" the j
coming legislature' will put an ever-]
lasting end to the practice."

Daring Robbery at Kershaw.
One of the most daring robberies
over perpetrated here occurred last
night when the garage and filling sta-%
tion of VV. T. Red f earn was entered
and approximately $ 1 ,000 worth of
tire* and 'inner tubes was taken by
the robbers, who apparently carried
the stolen articles in a motor truck,
as it would require a truck to carry
the amount of material taken. Offi
