Mr.C.did not expect his people would go to work that day.

He told them what the conditions of the new system were, and that after the first of August, they would be required to turn out to work at six o'clock instead of five o'clock as before.

At the appointed hour every man was at his post in the field.

Not one individual was missing.
The apprentices do more work in the nine hours required by law, than in twelve hours during slavery.
His apprentices are perfectly willing to work for him during their own time.

He pays them at the rate of twenty-five cents a day.
