Louisiana Cotton
‘ Planter To Go To
Jail For Peonage
l NEW ORLEANS., — (UP) —
lJames E. Piggott, wealthy middle
aged cotton planter, was awaiting
transfer to the Atlanta federal
‘prison Wednesday after pleading
j guilty to charge of peonage.
He admitted to the Federal
Judge Wayne G. Borah that he
often chamned Negroes to trees
when they tried to escape frem
i his nlantatior. He said he ad
ivanced food and lodging to the
Negroes during off months but
lwhen crop time came would de
‘duct these advanced from their
pay so that they were almost al
ways in debt to him.
The modern feudal baron could
not see why he was sent to jail
for eighteen months. He claimed
that all planters handler their
! Negroes as he did. He denied
{ beating Negroes although one of
‘them exhibited deep scars on his
{back which, he said, were made
by Piggott’s snake-whip.

follows: :

who stands in the fronk rank of
that sage fraternity, concludes
'g'om our first tabulation of ten
States, according to an Ithaca
dispatch in the New York Herald
Tribune, that “there is a stron’
_Rossibility that national senti

be 'sufficiently strong in four.
‘years to make legislative action a
possibility.” He reaches this
conclusion by comparing our re
turns of two weeks ago with the
returns from the same ten States
in a Prohibition poll on a much
smaller scale which The Digest
eonducted in 1922,
~ “If one assumes,” he is quoted
as saying, “that the same persons
balloted now as eight years ago,
then between 20 and 30 per cent
have changed their opinions in
the interval io or toward the re
peal of the FEighteenth Amend~
njent. It seems probable that
b‘gth ballotings were by similar
groups. If so, the great shift of
inion in eight years toward a
:gange in the law s almost un
deniable.” Quoting the professor
in full, the dispatch continues:
: Better Evidence
“The new poll conducted by
The Literary Digest gives better
evidence than we have had before
‘abeut the change in public opin
ion.
“The first point to examine is:
Do these early returns irdicate
what the final returns will be?
Eight years ago the early returns,
both for New York aud for tne
United States, were within less
than three points of the final per
cents eight weeks later, and these
early rveturns, being much more
numerous, are likely to be stili
nearer the final results, In all
there are 286,000 ballots of eight
vears ago to be compared with
292,000,
