Negro Saved From Chain Gang After Public Help
A northern city tale recounts a well liked but idle Black man who squandered wages in a social game and was sentenced to six months on the chain gang. Citizens paid his fine and a white man funded his release, with a subscription quickly raised. The piece contrasts northern philanthropy with southern acts of support for Black workers.
