A Headless Ghost

The region of Cream Ridge, Burlington
county. N. j., so q New York Sun CORE
spondent says, has in process of production
ghost story with notable modern improve
ments. A few nights ago a party of four
persons driving along country road near
Ellisdale saw the figure of man standing
by the roadside ahead of them, motionless
Tt neither moved nor spoke as they passed
it, and each noticed that it was headless
The negro driver lashed his horses into
gallop. The others looked back, but there
was nothing to be seen on the spot where
the headless man had been standing. All
agreed that the figure had on white shirt
and red suspenders, and was without
head. 1t was seen distinctly in the moon
light.
Hard headed farmers laughed at the ghost
idea, and say that figure was either scare
crow set up by boys or tramp who had
temporarily removed his head to rest his
shoulders. Half dozen negro farm hands,
however, have already succeeded in remem-
bering that they have met the same head
less phantom in lonely roads and dark cor
ners of the woods recently, and as soon as
somebody can think of a murder to tit, an
elaborate ana nlgnly ornate gpoSt STORY VIII
be ready for publication.
The interest over the headless phantom of Ellis
dale has revived story of few years ago, when
two respectable citizens, driving young colt
along a narrow road with steep embankment on
either side, saw another horse and buggy. coming
towards them at q terrific gait. 10 avoid COLL
sion they sang out Justify to the approaching
driver, and, just as he had almost met them, his
horse turned sharply dashed up the bank, and
disappeared. The gentlemen stopped, and get
ting out, went up the bank to apologize to the
other driver, but scuttled down again and drove
off at gallop when they found the bank crowned
to the very edge with thick growth of pines,
into which horse could by no means have pene
trated. 1t was case of Flying Dutchman on
wheels. They endeavored to keep the story quiet,
but it leaked out and several other persons test-
fed to having seen the same mysterious vehicle
disappear before their eyes, on roads in the same
vicinity, just as it was about to run into them.
man, driving along near there several years be.
FORE it was said, had been shot from an ambush.

THE cLAY-EATERs OF MARYLAND.


The eastern shore of Maryland has not
only been brought into prominence by the
wonderful custer beds that line it, but also
by some of the queer people who inhabit
the almost uninhabitable portions of it. A
great swamp extends through Wicomico
and Worcester counties 1t produces fine
cypress, and is the home of the most ven-
omous snakes. 1t is also the home of the
"swampers" and clay-eaters. These srenot
reptiles or animals, but people, human be-
ings, most Of whom have never seen rail
road, heard q locomotive whistle, or voted
any ticket.
It is hard to understand the appetite that
Graves clay as diet. Some people refuse
to believe that the people can live and yet
eat clay, but a reputable and truthful ply
sician who recently contracted a severe case
of the shaking ague in making tour of the
eastern shore swamps declares that these
peculiar specimens of the Maryland popula-
ton do eat clay and have passion or habit
of chewing it like lovers of hashesh. There
is a kind of clay found in that section that
is oily, like putty, and with very little sand
or grit in it.
The physician referred to says the clay
eating swampers are miserable specimens of
humanity. With legs that are mere sticks,
narrow hips, depressed chests, bellies,
and blush yellow complexion, they present
about the lowest type ofthe white race found
in the United States. The swampers who
acquire the habit of eating clay are generally
short.ived, but the other inhabitants Of the
Eastern Shore swamps are as hardy as others
and as ignorant as Hottentots. Many of
their houses are built on piles, and they
reach them in boats through the lagoons.
Though they shake with the ague half the
year, and have skins the color of saffron,
they seem to be insured against any other
disease, for it is rare to hear of any other
kind of sickness in the swamps than ague.
1t is astonishing whatquantities of quinine
and whiskey are consumed by these people.
The women who are not clay. eaters chew
tobacco and drink corn juice the same as
men. In the summer the women and child.
rem gather blackberries, which are plentiful
in this vicinity. The men 60 off in the
woods and make shingles, which they sell
to the nearest country stores for cheap wear
ing apparel, corn-meal, bacon, quinine and
whisky. These people are never reached
by the tax collector, the preacher, the book
agent, the politician, or the lightning-rod
agent, and when they are not shaking with
chills they are happy and contented.-Bati.
