waldo 700 intend 10 dol That's vat I want TO
know, and that's wat Deekin Pogram, Capt
NcPelter, and Isaker Gavitt 10 demsndin' In
thunder toues Wat do yoo intend to dot Arc

whose tastes, habits, inclinsshens, and interests
vary widely. On the one hand are the origina
Kentuckions, nv which Bacon, Deekin Po-
gram, Capt. McPelter. and IssAker Gavitt, are
brite and shinin specimens, and on the other
there 10 Pollock, the Illinoy store-kseper, Joe |
Bigler, who wus Confe,lerit soljer, but who |
heI back-slid into Ablishnism, ten or twenty |
families NV Northerners who have bought land |
hereabouts, and the niggers wich were freed
by Linkin and the Constooshnel Amendment. |
These two antagonistic elements are perpetually |
nj war, and the result Is q chronic onplcassnt-
mis- wich hez seriously retarded the growth Nv
this seckshun. The fault Is Nv coarse with Pol
lock, Bigler, the Northern farmers, and the mig
rcrs. The original Kentuakions desire peace
they long, and hunger, and thirst for II.
But these other cusses won't let Us hev II.
The Northern farmers wool come here and buy
land, and eontinyooally irritate US with their
presence; they won't adopt our habits and Gus
toms, but persist in keepin up their own, and es
we know EN- 10 be Republicans the site Of one on
our street perlooces q species Nv frenzy on our
citizens wich her at times resulted seriously to
them. They hold prayer-meetings ut each 9TH
ers houses, they take Nothern newspapers wich
wool piren the minds NV our people but for the
blessed fact our people don't read 10 any alarm
in extent, and they hev established skools among
the Niger children, and sre teachn them to be
above the spser 20 witch nacher and our theolo-
Nv assined'em. Bascom told me that they he'd
never spent four dollars as told at his bar. How
kin he live in peace with schi The niggers
won't work for US unless We pay 'em, and the
result Is our farms are runnin down. But lit
Ito is perloosed by US, and the old original Ken
lucky stock Is gettin to be as seedy set er yoor
eyes ever rested onto.
Now In regard to US what arc 700 goin to
dol Are 700 q goin TO protect Us or themf Are
700 goin to bring yoor power to bear on their
side or ourst Is Deekin Pogram's niggers to DO
protected in their insolent reioosal to submit to
his guidance and direction, or to be let to
him to be dealt with rs he chooses Is the citi- |
zeus of the Corners 10 hev the rite, wch Is theirs,
to Oh astise their beings In their own way-to re-
doose em To ther material level En- they see 6t,
or are they 10 be hampered by soljers and SIGH,
and DO forced 10 the hoomiliashen NV scein EN-
ekul in all respects In short, shel we under
yoor administrator hev the rite TO hang mig
gers and tar and feather Northern settlers n
we hev been doin, or mott That's the question
witch our people ask, and on yoor anser depends
the support NV you. Tho Corners Is open to
proposals. The Corners can be sekoored to
yoor administrator, or il can be driven into
an attitood Nv defiance.
II he1 bin sed that 700 arc sphinx. Wat q
sphinx Is I don't know, nor is Their any one In
the Corners who does. But Il must be suthin
ous or you wouldent hev been 30 called. The
great question II, ''are 700 goin TO continyoo
70 play sphinx, are 700 . goin to continyoo In
the groove into wch 700 hev sot yoorself, or are
VOC q goin to Top out and fling yoorself into our
arms That's the question that's ngltatin me
and the Corners ez well. E remember Alright |
the concloodin sentence nv yoor letter Nv accept
