THE NEW CITIZEN KING.

THE NEW CITIZEN KING.
Of all the elections ever con-
Quoted by the English speaking
race the one held under the re
construction" act Of 1867 in the
south was the most unique.
Ezra Perkins, the agent of the
Freedman's bureau, issued a
windy proclamation to the new
citizens to come forward on GER
tain day to register and receive
their elective franchise!
The negroes poured into town
from every direction from early
dawn. Some carried baskets,
some carried jugs and some were
pushing wheelbarrows, but most
Of them had an empty bag. They
were packed around the agency
in solid mass.
Nelse laughed until crowd
gathered around him.
"Lawdy, look at the bags" he
shouted. EN- dars ole Ike wild
er Jug. He gwine ter take hisen
in ticker! En- Dress God dars Ell
fool wild er wheelbarer!" Nelse
lay down and rolled with laugh
ter.
They failed to see the joke and
when theagency was opened they
made break for the door, tramp
ling each other down in a mad
fear that there wouldn't be
enough elective franchise to &c
round!
The first negro who emerged
from the door came with crest.
fallen face and an empty bag on
his arm.
He was surrounded by anxious
inquirers. What wuz it?"
Muffin. Des stan up dar be.

When Nelse appeared Perkins
looked at him a moment and
asked;
Are you a member of the
league?"
Dat l hain't.
Then stand aside and let these
men register. If you want tc
vote you had better join"
Nelse made no reply, but in a
short time he returned with the
Rev. John Durham by his side
He was allowed to register, bu
from that day he was a marked
man among his race.
When the registration closed
Perkins was in high glee.
We've got 'em, Timothy! It's
a dead sure thing!" he cried as
he slipped his arm around Tim S
shoulder.

CHAPTER w.
The summer of 1867! Will
ever a southern man or woman
who saw it forget its scenes?
A group of oath-bound secret
societies, the Union League, the
Heroes of America and the Red
Strings dominating society and
marauding bands of negroes
armed to the teeth terrorizing
the country, stealing, cursing,
and numbering.
Labor was not only demora-
lized, it had ceased to exist.
Depression was universal, farm
ing paralyzed, investments dead
and all property insecure. Moral
obligations were dropping away
from conduct, and a gulf as
deep as hell and high as heaven
opening between the two races.
The negro preachers openly
instructed their f1ocks to take
what they needed from their
white neighbors. If any man
dared prosecute a thief the an
swer was a burned barn or
home in ashes.
The widest passions held
riot at Washington. congress
of the United States as a de-
Lucrative body under constitu-
tional forms of government no
longer existed. The speaker of
the house shook his fist at the
president and threatened openly
to hang him, and hewas arraign-
ed for impeachment for daring
to exercise the constitutional
functions of his Office!
The division agents of the
Freedman's bureau in the south
sent to Washington the mos,
alarming reports, declaring a
famine imminent. In reply the
vindictive leaders levied a tax
of fifteen dollars a bale on cot
ton, p1unging thousands ofsouth-
ern farmers into immediate
bankruptcy and giving to India
and Egypt the mastery of the
cotton market of the world.
Congress became to the de.
ISOLATE south what Attila, the
Scourge of God" was to civil
lied Europe.
The abolitionists of the north,
whose conscience was the fire
that kindled the civil war, arose
in solemn protest against this
insanity. Their protest was
drowned in the roar of multi.
tude maddened bv demagogues
who were preparing for a pol.
itical campaign.
Late in August Hambright
and Campbell county were thrill

mother and three children in

Two days later the rumor
spread over the country that a
horde of negroes heavily arm

ing.
All day terrified women,

DICK

When Charlie CASTOR reached
his home after never-to be-
forgotten day in the woods
with the preacher, he found a
ragged little dirt-smeared negro
boy peeping through the fence
into the woodward.
What you want?" cried Charlie.
"Nuttin!"
What your name?"
Dick"
Who's you father?"
"Hain't got none. My mud
der say she was tricked, en-

Charlie came close and look

showed the whites of his eyes.

Charles heart went out to {
ragged little waif. He took him
by the hand, led him into the
yard, found his mother, an6
begged her to give him place
to sleep and keep him.
His mother tried to persuade
him to make Dick go back tc
his own home. Nelse was loud
in his objection to the new.
conner, and Aunt Eve looked
at him as though she would
throw him over the fence.
But Dick stuck dogged1y tt
Charles heels.
Mama, dear, see, they tried
to cut his head off with ar

wheeled Dick around and show
ed the terrible scar across the
pack of his neck:
