Joseph A. Tarwater J.P. Clarksville District No 1. Mecklenburg Co states he knows little or nothing of what transpires in other districts as to Geo W Graham A.S.A.C. but that in his own district the freedmen are quite as orderly if not more so than previous years (since surrender) and are more generally employed  As a justice of the peace I have had fewer complaints between white and colored brought before me the than for some time past.

So far as I know speaking of my own district I do not think that the presence of Geo W. Graham as A S A Com in Mecklenburg Co has endangered the peace of the community - and in matters of controversy between white and colored persons, in which Mr Graham has taken action, I believe him to have done full justice to both parties -
