Cheap Meat Failed to Arrive.

1t has just developed that two
slick negroes swindled a number of
plantation darkies near Filters
Landing during the Roosevelt hunt
at Smede's Station. The two ne
groes went about among the igno-
rant darkieS and told them that
Roosevelt's real object in visiting
the South was to see if the negroes
were not being charged too much
Tor their meat. The two negroes
then took orders for a number of
darkies, cutting the price on meat
to a ridiculous figure, and demanded
an advance payment, and in the
transaction raised something over
1000 and skipped out. The willy
rascals warned the negroes not to
tell the white folks about their visit,
as it would prevent their getting
the cheap meat.
