A white man would not take a negro in as a partner to work with him in the field.
Q.And will a white man find any difficulty in hiring another white man and negro to work together side by side in the field?
-- A.

No, sir; I have them myself working side by side.
Q.There is no prejudice of that kind?
-- A.

None at all.
Q.No white man inquires whether he can work by himself or is to work in company with a negro?
Do they exhibit any reluctance to work in company with the negro?
-- A.

The class of white people that work in our country for wages comes from Ohio, and Missouri, and Indiana, and that section of country, and I find there is some prejudice among that class of people sometimes, but still there are instances--as I say, I have men from Indiana now myself hired working right in a gang with negroes.
Q.There is no strong tendency in that way, I suppose?
-- A.

No strong tendency in that way.
