beseechingly looking from the stern face
OF their master toward the pistols and the
open graves; and many Il Lord a-mercy

silent.
When the last had been called. he
squeaked out ~ ou say, Chumley, these
worthless and good for nothing; that
they cannot make enough to eat, and |
must buy bread and meat to feed them"
Handing Chumley pair Of pistols he
said
"Chumley, begin at the other end of
the line, and I'll begin at this, and we'll
shoot these worthless negroes
A universal Shrek went UP. and all the
negroes rushed up to Randolph and beg
ged in the most pitiftll terms for their
lives, all declaring that they could work,
and that they would never play 'possum
and lie up again.
Randolph finally relented, and agreed
to spare them provided they could give
security among the other negroes that
they would work well in the future. No
one could have effected such Il genuine
scare as Randolph did. The negroes knew
that he was strange, eccentric man; the
white people OF Charlotte all but wor-
shipped him; md they believed implicitly
that he would do what he said he would
DO. lie did not allow any severe punish
ment upon his slaves, but this lesson was
sufficient. The empty graves were lilIed
up without occupants and the negroes
