owners, known as planters and the poor cotton pickers, known  as tenants or peckerwoods. The planters supply the tennants with the  simple requirements of every day life and in return the tennants work the  land year in and year out. A hundred volumes could be written on the rights  and wrongs of both parties, but it is not the object of the producers of  The Cabin in the Cotton to take sides. We are only concerned with an  effort to picturize these conditions.
