"MYJ LAND AND MULE.'-We
have the statement from an un-
questionable source, that at one of
the precincts in Amherst county,
on election day, a negro after yc-
ting, said to the officer in charge
that he wanted his ''forty acres of
land and his mule" An explana-
ton being asked for, he stated
that he had been told that every
negro who voted was to have for
ty acres of land and a mule given
him Immediately after voting, and
he wanted his then and there
The disappointment, disgust and
indignation of the deluded darkey
were intense, when told that he
had been fooled, and that neither
land nor mule were there for him.
The old negro further said that
numbers of others on the ground
had also been told the same that
he was, and had come to the elec-
tion with the same bright antici-
pations of the riches that were to
be theirs. I r.a2
