Remarks (cont.)

Abuses of colored people are less frequent and severe owing to the fact that civil authorities are giving the matter more attention

Poor Law
No cases brought to our notice and nothing special to report The distribution of Gov. supplies checks, cases that would otherwise come under the Poor Law

Apprentice Law
Seems to be very unjust and has been enforced in some instances. Its operations are checked when reported to this office

Tax Law
Is very oppressive to the poor, especially the freedmen, very discriminating in favor of landholders and capitalists

Poll Tax
Is enormously high. Licenses also very high

Schools are [[strikethrough]]much[[/strikethrough]] and flourishing whenever established. especially the school at Eufaula, which has about one hundred & fifty scholars
