Greenbuck Speaker Driven Out OF
Mississippi.

Mr.. ]. X. Randall. who was one of the
greenback advocates who went down to stump
Alabama, has written long account of his
experience among the disciples of full bal
lot and free count. He had pretty lively
time of it wherever he went. but the warm
est place he got into was little town called
Shubuda. just across the line in Mississippi
He had scarcely arrived in the place with a
companion when he was asked his name and
mission, and this note was handed him. while
the bearer waited for an answer: "DEAR
SIR-We will give YOU and your pard thirty
of this town. Yours to death. TnE BoYs OF
SurBrpA. He asked the bearer what il
meant. and the reply was eve know you.
ard you can't stay: you must go to the next
station" eWho gives this oricr?' THE
BOYS of Shubuda. Your time is passing: YOU
better get right along or you'll catch hi"
s.You don't mean that they will lay rough
hands ON me, peaceahle citizen ?" "You
better get out of here while YOU have a
chance" After this conversation, Mr.. RAN
dali went over TO a group of aulldozers who
stood little way off, and asked them some
questions. After moment one of them said
ssYou're white man with black heart,
come down here to divide the democratic
party. and we don't want and wont have no
such d-n men in this county" When the
time for the next train arrived, Mr.. Randall
and his friend went to the station. and while
standing on the platform they were sur
rounded by the Boys of Shubuda, who de-
minded the note they had sent. sayirg
s'Your train is coming and you get out of
here. If you ever come here again well fix
you. Bring gang Of your friends and we'll |
give them and you too hi This indicates
that the Yaxoo type of s'chivalry" abouuds in |
