"To George Johnston B. NJ. i. r.
(Burn up my everlasting round
about:")
DEAREST GEoRGIE: Your most low
ing letter Of some time since was read
with amusement Ca fool always anus
es mel. You assumed the style OF a
nigger, which was best suited to your
mental complexion; perhaps by eating
and consorting with cullud bredren
and sistern rs long as you have, you
have gained that control over their
idiom which fits you for being what
you most earnestly crave, to be, a mig
ger ito the manor born," to which end
| give you a fervent God speed.
You fear that my supply of powder
is scant and SO it is. But it doesn't
take much to blow out such light wad
Il; yourself, and then Tom Adams will
furnish me more when mine runs out.
AS you say, sometimes lin at moth
ing, and weep that L can see nothing
to draw bead on now; you are too
snail even to be seen through mi
croscope which magniiles ten thou
sand diameters.
You are afraid have been straining
my gun with overload; have, but |
had to do it because was shooting ut
big dogs. but | rest it when | shoot at
such flee as you are.
Dearest George, you are fearful that
my little engagement with Mr.. John
Roper gave me the bighead. You seem
to forget that | waited nearly three
months before writing again and in
that time the bighead wore of.
You say Il little education is dam
serous thing; Bill Arp says you are a
| liar. little education is a good thing.
You should by all means geta little. if
for nothing else than to find out what
a gallant Jackass you are, and then
Col. Dargan might employ you to
black his boots and be breastwork to
him when q volleY Of decayed eggs
threatens his person.
George, some OF my friends tells me
you are u nigger. If you are not u
black niggpr, you are certainly i white
niger. II YOU are black nlSger, |
conclude that some old Ram about the
Court IIuuse is egSing you on l SIM
ply wish 70 tell you that they have set
YOU on Ben Tillman ram, who will
run through your Internal carcass be-
fore you know it.
AS to what my issue is, l.w0uid say
that Il nigger (bIack or white) has no
business with politics. Such men as
Mart Gary and Tom Whittle and 9TH
er heroes of '7G, taught you this lesson
with guns, pistols, hickory clubs ETC.
Col. Dargan's treatment a few days ago
ought to revive these f0nd(?) memo
ries.
had rather fall into the hands of
"wonlan squlzitly beautiful" than to
come in nose range of such squizitly
scurvy scoundrel as thou art. You
speak of Dargan excepting his mouth
shet," it was no fault of his that his
mouth was shet, but Scratch, Bill
QUITS, ct. al, shet it.
George just because you are bench
warmer in some little corner grocery
you needn't think that you know it all.
We farmers know thing or two, If we
are horny handed and sun burnt. "Thc
Faithful" mean to rule Edgetield, you
and jim Bacon to the contrary.
You say "Er nigger WIZ borned a
fool" | know negroes for whose abil-
ity | have respect. but they attend to
their own business and give no heed to
seditious white scoundrels and live
right. Such negroes have done more
than any other class in building up
the South and are 4 credit to our cOun-
try.
will say right here that intend to
express my opinion as long as | please
regardless of what you or any other
pusilanimous rakehell may say or
think. Ifyou are offended ut anything
! have said, why didn't you confine
yourself to that? If you have any per-
sonal grudge against me, seek me out
and I'll satisfy you in a pair Of min
utes. But for Gods sake don't 20 to a
hog wallow and fill your mouth with
filth to squirt on Il man who has never
