Because, it's trending to the grave.  The county barely has 1000 people and only because of a small correctional facility.  The county has no schools public or private--you get bussed to another county.  Young people get out unless they inherit the family farm, and the farms have always been owned by white people.

Really shouldn't be a county anymore, but counties never dissolve. 

It is famous for having the highest percentage of it's population in slavery back in the day--92.5% of the county were slaves in the 1860 census.
