As a result of Mr. Hanna’s slave
pension proposition, a large num--
ber of negroes in the vicinity of
Americus Ga., have been “fleeced”
by sharpers, who were traveling
through the country claiming to be
•‘■agents”, telling the negroes how
to apply for pensions aud.demand-
ing a dollar for such information.
And the same scheme will be
worked throughout the south by
this class of “boodlers” who will
appreciate the opportunity Mr.
Hanna has given them for opera
rating successf ully their schemes.
Of course Mr. Hanna may expect
