to build up a larger defense. Each
shield is, of course, made of the best

WHAT GEORGIA NEGROES SAY.

Negroes say that all animals can
see spirits at night.
Negroes contend that hogs can see
the wind some maintain that all ami
mails can do so.
If one is riding at night and feels
a warm current of air on his face, ne
groes say that spirit is passing by.
Negroes keep other negroes from
getting over rail fence by sprinkling
powder or graveyard dirt on the rail.
If negro sees a pin, and picks it up
with the point to him, it is blunt luck;
he will walk about in order to take it
point toward him, and then it is sharp
luck.
When a negro is going from you,
and you call him, making it necessary
for him to retrace his steps, he will
make cross-mark (X) in the path and
spit on it for good luck-Journal of

bullet-proof mantles held good with
sufficient force to prevent their use.
! He advocated form of mantlet
which would, he maintained, fulfill the
following conditions: 1t afforded
complete bullet protection, gave the
men good field view and enabled free
movement, would be equally efficient
in retreat and advance, and would be
suited to enable men to destroy OBJ
stacles, such as barbed wire. 1t should
be easily moved and taken to pieces
and slowed away.
The lecturer proposed a "roller
mantlet" weighing about 200 pounds,
consisting of cylinder, about Is feet
long and 31s feet in diameter, of thin
steel, carried foot above the ground
by wheels at each end, with a handle
for pushing and pulling, in advance
and retirement, respectively.
Each mantlet should cover six men
and a line should be formed of them,
with about two PAGES between them.
Two hundred would cover a front of
half a mile. Chrome steel one-fifth
inch thick enables the cylinder to be
