Slavery That Still Lingers
In Countries Of The East
Persia Takes Lead In Aholislili:,"
Human Bondage. Other Lands
Discourage II.
Slavery, which still exists in. man)
Asiatic and African countries, has
occn abolished by the Majlis, tin
Persian National Assembly, The
Majlis acted on the appeal of tie
Persian people, many of whom ob
jected to this ancient custom P.
is hoped that the action 11 the Maj
lis will influence othe.i Oriental
countries to do away with slavery
Inland China, with its huge pop
ulation, has perhaps the largest
number of slaves in any country.; In
China many of the slates arc gi T
who were "adopted when very
young and trained in household
duties. Slave marts are said to do
a thriving business In some of the
mote inaccessible parts of China
and it is estimated that that coun
try has 2,000,000 slaves.
Of the slates in Arauin, a ma
jority were born in bondage, and
they regard themselves a better
than the ordinary tribesmen. Thet
are found in the household oi some
emir or tribal chief, and are well
fed and protected. In the great
desert districts of the Arabian Pen
insula almost every household of
any pretension has it , .•-laves, and
in some cases they follow the pro
fessions of their masters, often
rising to positions of honor and dis
tinction. Slaves that are found in
Ha.sa, Kowelt and Oman. the
Arabian provinces on the Persian
Guh', are the negroes brought from
Africa by Arab traders before tiie
World War. Arrangement has l>ecn
made with the King of the Hejaz
whereby slaves sold in Arabia have
a right of sanctuary with the Euro
pean consuls at Jcddahh.
Gone arc the days when Morocco
Tunis and Algiers were slave marts,
not only for negroes but for Circas
sian and Georgian beauties. The fa
mous slave trade of the Barbary
Coast i a thing of the past, and. al
though there is still some slave
trading, the buying and selling of
human property is frowned upon
Tiie French government has shown
disapproval of the slave marts,
though slaves are ^bought on the
oases in the Northern African des
ert. In Kufra. hi the Libyan Desert,
blacks are smuggled in from Sudan
and sold for large sums. The Tua
regs, an adventurous, warlike peo
p’e. obtain their slaves from the
Southern Sahara, but the slave
raids and slave caravans are grow
ing few er in these parts.
Slavery is disappearing in the Su
dan. and it is only in the remote
parts that it still exists. The sec
tion which is now the Anglo
Egyptian Sudan was the area for
slave traffic for hundreds of years,
and it was from here that the
giant blacks were procured as
guardians of the harems.
The great- surviving stronghold of
slavery in Africa is Ethiopia, which
lies southeast of the Anglo-Egypt
ian Sudan. The traffic is so great
and slaves are so plentiful and
cheap that even the servants have
their own personal attendants. The
King, Has Taffari. is trying to
abolish slavery, bht time is needed
to educate the Ethiopians to regard
slavery as undesirable. It is esti
mated that there are still more than
2.000 000 slaves in Ethiopia.

Must Have Two
License Plates
On S. C. Trucks
Owners and drivel s ol iuno trucks
. In Shelby and Cleveland county
who do any hauling in or out o:
South Carolina must purchase
South Carolina license plates .as
’veil as lU’cn: e in this .state The
i iollnwing ni.li.ng on the matter,
which has.been of interest here. Is
, from The Gaffney Ledger:
Any truck operating for eomuier
i rial purposes in South Carolina
inu. t bear a South Carolina license
plate when it crosses the line into
’ the stale, eeeordhnr to a lotto' n -
. eentlv received by Magistrate Floyd
I Baker In :n .h im M. Daniel. at-:
: torney general of the state.
! * Shortly alter the new license law
rwent into elif ct here early last
t month, Magistrate Baker wrote the
! attorney general for' specific in
j.formation on the measure Numbers
of owners. of trucks from North
i Carolina have.paid fines and bought
licenses line during the last few
week?
There has been 110 test ease of
the new l"’ yet. but several North
Carolina turns started to have a
hearing before they fully understood
; the law.
Some of the. truck owners have
paid fines and returned to their own
states without buying licenses.
Magi--trate Baker said yesterday
t lint they were liable to a second
J fine if caught by officers befo"e they
! got out of the state. "However." he
| added, ' officers here make it a
point to extend the drivers the
.courtesy of allowing them to re
turn without bring bothered again."
j Only two men were brought ire
fore Magistrate Baker here this
; week for the new misdemeanor.
They were Sinnns S. Watts and
Edgar Edwards, negro. both of
Charlotte. Watts paid a SI0 line but
bought no license.
Sleuths Slip I p.
Five minutes after Helen Morgan,
musical comedy .star and “ljostess"
of a New York night club, had been
acquitted of the liquor charges
1 against her, a member of the jury
jtold a reporter for the Times.
| "There was.no doubt in the minds
of the jury that .she was guilty un
der the law."
Consider that amarine state
ment. A juryman, having just ac
quitted an accused woman, declares
that he and his fellows knew she
was guilty/ Why did tlmy go con
trary to the e\ Ulence , tind their
oath? Some of thd eiiime ntators
believe it was because they were
disgusted by the tesUmcm of a pro
hibition agent that he Awe taken his
wife to Mi. s Morgan's club with in
structions to engage the, hostess in
conversation so as to iaaw in
criminating statements from her.
“Is it a part of your Southern
chivalry." Miss Morgan's attorney
asked the agent with heavy sar
casm. “to introduce your wife to a
lady for the purpose of entrapping
her?" In that question, these critics
think, was neatly summed up t«c
spectators’ ajid the jurymen's pre
judice against the methods employ
ed by the sleuths in building up
their case. It is hard for any im
partial person to escape the same
conclusion
It is passing strange that the
agents have no better sense than
to work against, their intended p vy
in ways certain to arouse the an
tagonism of the masses of the peo
ple. They are apparently Ignorant
of the lessons of history. They evi
dently have not taken the trouble
to read of the countless cases in
many stages of society's develop
ment showing that the surest way
for enforcement authorities to cut
down their effectiveness is to go
counter to the ideals and traditions
of the people. The prohibition
agents of today persist in demon
strating that they arc stars in do
ing this very thing. 1
There are communities which, like
New York, contain much sentiment
against the prohibition law, but
this does not account for the large
number of acquittals of persons ob
viously guilty. That is due in mam
instances to the ineptness of agent,
who, by their inexcusable tactics,
increase the "wet" public's dislike
of the dry law. Washington ought
to instruct the prohibition agents
that their sworn duty, more im
portant than the gathering of evi
dence, is to gather It so ajt not to
make the law appear contemptible
and themselves despicable.
