Pogram's hand relaxed ITS hold on the

dropped the empty glass.
The effect, so far ez maniicStin grief
was concerned, was the same ~ tho |
he'd dropped it, lilkcr and all, and ii
wuz better for me. The glass wuz Bas-
com's--the scnsashun in my bowels pro-
dooct by the lilker wuz mine. Tha;

take away from me.
1t didn't take long to figgcr how this
outrage, cf it is consummatid,w will affect
the Corners. There is in this peaceful
township siXty-tllrcc loyal white Toters.

They hev cz Il rool accumulated suthin
for they labor. We NV coarse held the
offices. Issakcr GaI lit is assessor, and
Dcekin Pograln treasurer, and the mig
gers hev bin made to pay all the taxes
that have bin paid. They c,odcnt help
themselves, for the law hez tcrrors when

aad the hands NV our oilisht Is are both
strong and willin.
But Tor these niggers the township
government wood be a mere nothin.
Issaller don't dare to assess Bascom for
fear he'd stop supplies onto him, nor
wood Bascom hav any NV the white citi-
zcns taxed, for whatever they shOod pay
in taxes that went either into the cOun-

him. He wuZ anxious to have the Mig
gers sweat, for NV the money collected

through the collector or treasurer, witch
WIZ clear gain, ez they don't patronize
him anyhow.
In various ether ways we had EN-.

firmly. The niggers wood occasionally
labor in plantin time, or in harvest, for
the white citizens who owned land, and
flied with the idea that they wuz free

manner demand pay for their services.
Wv course they wood be refooZed, where
