SLAVE PIRATES Who Stole Negroes from Thei Owuers and Sold Them. A STORY OF ANTE BELLUM DAY9 Alany HIiiypn Were Stolen from Oil Cohhi Country and Carried to the W?-Ht and Sold. The following interesting story w clip from the Columbia State: Some years prior to the Civil wa there was a considerable amount u emigration from the southern cons Stales, most of such emigrants goin, to the then unsettled country of th Mississippi and Its tributary valleys lu most instances these (migrants ha some means, and they carried thei slaves along with them. Consequents m ^ they were in a position to accumulat wealth from the rich, alluvial soils o the river bottoms more rapidly thai their less fortunate neighbors who hai no slave labor to help them. This la to much jealously and discontent o part of the large class of self-workim whites, who after some years spent ii seeing their better equipped neighbor getting richer and they poorer, hande themselves together In a certain (lb trict in the lower section of Louislam for the purpose of running otf slave from the Carolinas and Virginia am selling them or keeping them forthei own uses, as needed, preferably dis trlbuting them among themselves, a this avoided inquiry. They had a their leader a man who became prom lnent in the political alfairs of Louis lana in the days of Reconstruction at ter the Civil war. This man went to Virginia, wher he bought a small coast tradini schooner. She was taken to Mobile where a false skin was built in her leaving a space between her sides am this skin of about two feet, roon enough for a negro to stand sideway therein. It was so cunningly devisci that the most careful searcli of th vessel never divulged its existence. 1 was divided into compartments, eacl holding four or live negroes, and ii these compartments many an unac counted for slave (supposed to hav escaped to the north) was conveyed t a much warmer climate (of course mean Louisiana). Korsix years thi trade went on and no one ever suspected its existence, as the slave pi rates were careful to take only one o two slaves from any one owner, ajv then only from those having larg numbers. Occasionally they ran otr ; l.lrw.L- I.r ollu , I. Hiifst- Mivv-n "I vn-j IM>1UI wut 1,11 plantation hands, which they pre for red, were more carefully selcctei from a large area. it was only on the deathbed of th mate of t he vessel that the facts be came known, although this boat, a one time and out her, ran cargoes o negroes from every Atlantic and (Jul State. A description of one of th voyages will explain the methods em ployed to capture their cargoes: One afternoon just before the sui set on one of the most perfect day that had ever been seen In South Car olina a small schooner was seen b cross the bar at the entrance of tin Stono river, some, ill miles below tin city of Charleston, a brisk "sou'eas ter" tilling her swelling sails (whlcl showed clearly against the backgrouni of trees on the island at the mouth o the rive) brought her quickly up tin river to a point opposite the littli summer village known as Oegarevillc where just at dusk she dropped an chor. The next morning two o: three of the crew came ashore, osten sibly for the purpose of buying wooc from the planters on John's island which lay to the southwest of tin river, and succeeded in making ur rangumcnts for a cargo. This gav< them an opportunity to visit the dif fereut plantations and to cstimati the number of negroes on each. Having thoroughly posted them selves and picked out the negroe: they liked best they formed means ol talking to them and persuaded then to sneak oil during the night, appoint lug a place of meeting and promising ? m i iliw I.m &)ug of whlakny, which Ify thoW days ] was a rather rare treat to nfefcroes. The unsaspecting negro of bourse showed up. Instead or whiskey, gaits and the rope was his portion. He ~ was then conveyed aboard the vessel and hidden In one of the compartments. Of course a "hue and ory" was raised ror the missing negroes, but tho host, although searched, wa& 1 round to l>e empty, and or course no suspicion entertained thnt sho was other thau as represented, The no- I grces were, of ooqrse, supposed to have 1 taken to the swamp, a trick or whtoh I u.ore than one was frequently guilty, These pirates obtained on this voyage some 20 neirroes from t,har. wntlnn and 1 In due course put to sea the way they I had come. The word being, of course, I only a blulT, it was thrown overboard as soon us possible to lighten the boat < and give her more speed. These negroes were carried to their rendezvous. on an island some miles below i New Orleans, from which place they < were turned over to those desiring I them. After the Civil war one of the ne- I groes taken away on that occasion re- i turned to John's isl;.nd and gave an account of his udventures. No one. however, l>elleved his tale until it was ] corroborated by the mate's Confession, ! which came duly to the knowledge of , the writer The captain was arrested upon the mate's confession, but being i( prominent in the corrupt political ! deals of those times nothing ever oame of it and eventually he went to California and was lost sight of. Many hundreds of slaves were carried oir by these pirates and It is surprising how successfully they eluded all suspicion, llad they attempted to sell all of the negroes thus stolen they would surely have been caught, but the leading spirit of it all was too shrewd for that.

We do not want the people of the North and West to judge the negroes r of the South by the Vagabonds who are committing all manner of crimes amony them. There are plenty of gwu negroes in the .south, and the j ones wh?? commit the crimes of rape and assassination are the vicious ones among us, and we feel sure the same ?* is true everywhere. A writer in the Augusta Chronicle says: The recent brutal outrages perpetrated by the negro in Indiana.

Flemingsburg jail Wednesday morning and hanged William Thacker, a 1 white man, who had lieen given a life . sentence for the murder of John (lorL don, two years ago. .' Thacker, in a quarrel with Gordon at Foxport, fought and killed him, h then sat on his body with a winches-,* tor in his hands "while he smoked a ~ pipe and dared any one to attempt to rj arrest him. At,,the time Thacker , escaped, but later he was arrested and * lodged in jail at Flemingsburg. lie was given two trials and finally got a life sentence. Gordon was a good I citizen. Thacker appealed to the ' court of appeals and was waiting for another trial, lie had some money and was able to command the support * of some influential men, and it is feared he might have escaped piniishj ment altogether. The mob colected at Ml. Carinel, ' where Gordon once lived, and came into Flemingsburg by twos and threes, , in order not to arouse suspicion. They advanced upon the jail shortly after 1 midnight.

Slie had been a house girl at cia' the home of the late Colonel Mott, on l)ar Mott's green, and in the course of a ^votl year or two would have been cooking. ?n^' While en route to her new home, siie ' married in Augusta, her husband lie- ^ur ing one of the colonists. At Charles- t/',c ton the negroes were placed aboard a wo' new ship and after a long voyage tliey ora found themselves in the old home of ern, their race?Africa. The ooionistR set- ^ tied in the seaport Monrovia, which is ',H": the capital of the country . Vori The Crawford woman gives an inter- 1,1 ' esting account of her experiences in ('cs Africa. She is intelligent, and noted WCI incidents more closely than the aver- (5t)'( age negro. She said that those who < went over went to work in pretty 'I much the same stations as at home cot some cooking, others laundering, slia others keeping house, eh-. She her- tioi self is a laundress and says that she ing made a good living there about the trui same living she could have made at tho home. She spent practically all tlie i>|1K time in Monrovia, not going into the tha interior except on rare occasions, and yon then not far from town. She says the loni natives around Monrovlaare peaceable n.n but further back in the interior they gra are dangerous. Agriculture is actively tioi carried on near the roast. corn, grain poo and all t he vegetables ordinarily raised but in Georgia being successfully grown, pec No cotton is grown in the colony. She ri says that health conditions there are ero| not so very dilTerent from what they shi| are in this county the climate suits ligl some and disagrees with others just as ero| at home, where some are healthy and tint others unhealthy. She says that when otl she first went to Liberia all the sugar, are molasses, etc., consumed in Monrovia in r and the other towns was made up in t!iis country, but that in later years this industry lias declined so that most of such articles are now imported. Formerly the settlers in the upper part Pr< of Liberia sawed much lumber, but now the lumber is imported, she says. The original settlers had much energy, but the present generation is not in- > clined to develop these industries. The Crawford woman says that ... ^ when she tirst went to Liberia two <?r a! three American ships touched.at Mon- r"u rovia every week. Now sometimes ere' two or three years pass without an (j;iv American ship visiting the port. The j,oj foreign trade is in the hands of Knglishmcn, Germans. Dutchmen and , :l^' Norweigians. the American interest and having steadily declined. Many of the Fa? retail stores in Monrovia are kept by hot colored people. There ure but few of t white people hi Monrovia. She says out that Monrovia is harrlly as large as nooi Columbus. ted While a good many of American tin< negroes there are dissatisfied with 1 their lot and wish to return to America tioi and would do so if they could pay iheir ty. passage, yet many are content with Mrs their surroundings and intend to spend to the rest of their lives in Africa. The att< Crawford woman says that the Ameri- 'oh can negroes are exercising a civilizing nbr influence over the native Americans: ceri that tlicy bring the children of thena- dre tives into the towns, teach them, and she that the colony lias churches and det schools just as the negroes in America (*iv do. low Fifteen years ago her husband died. I'^1, in 1898. she moved to Sierra Loane, 1( l(| tliu^Lii^lish colony just north of LI- ' j bi-na. Here slie found many rich \|r white families wlio were willing to pay well for tine laundry work, and n(. she says that she was able in the to ( course of a year or so to save the money with whicli to buy her pas- t]M>' sage home.
