Lowndes and Macon counties are part of what was once called the ‘Black Belt’. (The name refers to the dark loamy soil not the large number of slaves resident on cotton plantations). They were one of the storm centers of the civil rights campaign . Now forty years after the blackamoors assumed political control of these counties we find that they have more voters on the books than residents. Today no cotton is produced in this area but virtually everyone seems to be on some sort of federal or state welfare program.

[Alas Babylon!]

There is a lot of cotton grown in Lowndes and Macon county!
