PAGE EIGHT Jim Crow Continued from page three so cotton grows "right up to the front door and right up to the back door." On many other plantations "The Man" puts in a big patch of collards and turnips and other garden truck and as signs a couple of hands to take care of it. The share-croppers then buy it from "The Man." Every stem of collards they eat is charged against them on the bill they never see. Over in Early County, Gary Davis farms thirty acres, pea nuts, cotton and corn. Last year he made nine bales of cotton and six tons of peanuts. His share, $1,500. He got $5OO. He can't "figure" and wouldn't try it if he could. Joe Downs, in Clay County, with the help of his wife and nine children made fourteen tons of peanuts and seven bales of cotton. That's worth $4,200, Joe's share $2,100. He got $4OO. In all his life he never saw a statement, never saw any figures. He can't "figure" either. Well, it's no use cluttering up the record with statistics. The story runs like that all over the South. It could be that the share-croppers I happened to strike were all worthless, lazy or liars. But in county after county in the plantation country of three states, I talked to Negro business men, professional men. undertakers, now and 'then a Negro farm agent. Certainly they know the share-cropping system and the black men at the bottom who produce the cotton and the peanuts and the corn. Not one of them but insisted that cheating a share-cropper out of his eye teeth was accepted and standard practice. Every one of them backed up his belief with instance after instance. I didn't bother taking notes. I'd talked with share-croppers myself. This share-cropping in the "CHESTERFIELD building another big, new factory for us smokers MILDER it's MY cigarette."
