A bushel of wheat should poison 1000

coffee berries in the whites of three
eggs. Let this stand for about twelve
hours and use the liquid instead of

CHAPTER VII.
SIMON LEGREE.

S1MO&N
In the death of Mr.. Lincoln. a group
of radical politicians, hitherto. sup
pressed. saw their supreme opportunity
to obtain control of the nation In the
| crisis OF an approaching Presidential
campaign.
Now they could fasten their schemes
of prescription, confiscation, and revenge
| upon the South!
| Mr.. Lincoln had held these wolves at
bay during his life by the power OF his
great personality. But the Lion was
dead, and the Wolf. who had snarled and
snapped at him in life, put on his skin
and claimed the heritage Of his power.
The Wolf whispered his message of hate.
and in the hour of partisan passion be-
came the master of the nation.
Busy feet had been hun rying back and
forth from the Southern States to Wash
ington whispering in the VOLTS ear the
stories of sure success, If only the plan
of prescription Acknowledgement of
whites, and enfranchisement of blacks
we're carried out.
This movement was inaugurated two
years after the war, with every South
ern State in profound peace, and in a life
and death struggle with nature to pre-
vent famine. The new revolution des-
troyed the Union a second time, para
lyzed every industry in the South, and
transformed ten peaceful States into
roaring bells of anarchy. We have easily
outlived the sorrows of the war. That
was a surgery which healed the body.
But the child has not yet been born
whose children's children will live to see
the healing of the wounds from those
four years of chaos, when fanatics blind
ed by passion, armed four millions of
naked ignorant negroes and thrust them
into mortal combat with the proud
bleeding. half-starving Anglo Saxon
race of the South! Such a deed once
done, can never be undone. 1t fixes the
status of these races for a thousand
years If not for eternity.
The South was now rapidly gathering
into two hostile armies under these in
fiuenees, with race marks as uniforms

The negro army was under the COM
mand of triumvirate, the et-bag-
ger from the North, the native scalawag

showed that the demand for this
breed of hogs is good.
