Showing How the Southerner Loves
'the old Southern Negro"

| was born on a plantation in Mis-
sissippi. My family were slave-hold-
ers. | was the fist grandson of my
generation. After the manner of the
times, my first present from my pa
ternal grandfather was a woman TO
take care of me, to be my own, inji-
vidual property. Her name was Luz
cindy-"Cindy." Her husband was.
Tom, my fathers body servant. The
war came. My father entered the
confederate army. He took Tom with
him 70 Virginia. When his regiment,
the 18th Mississippi, left the state, not
a white man remained on the planta-
ton. There were over 500 slaves, my
grandmother, my mother and an aunt.
was an infant.
In the battle of Spottsylvania court
house my father was desperately
wounded. Who carried him out of
! that bloody angle" that worse than
/ hell? Tom. Who nursed him, tend
ed him, cared for him, stood by him
and took what was thought to be his
last message to his wife and baby
down on the Mississippi plantation
where they were being cared for by
other slaves? Tom. Can | ever for
| get that? Since the war Tom has
| lived or the old plantation, which has
become mine, cultivated a little patch
of ground, raised his pigs and his
chickens, and when he dies he will
sleep in the old graveyard on the hill
where my father and seven genera
tiOns of my people are at rest.
Suppose I should go to Tom and
, say, "See here, you've lived here 81
years and never paid a cent of rent
This place is mine. You've got to
clear out"
What do you suppose he would say?
You don't know. But | can tell you,
for I've tried it. He'd say: Whats
de matter wild you, Mars John? |
thinks you must done loss your Wits
! How about Cindy? She is right
there with Tom to this good day. And
there are others.
In 1898 during the brief war with
Spain was an officer in the 1st Unit
ed States volunteer infantry. My regi-
ment was at New Orleans. Tom and
Cindy heard 1 was there. What did
they do? They went to New Orleans,
braved a trip on a railway train,
braved the glare of a great city, than
which nothing has more terror for q
simple plantation negro of the old
sort. Two negroes, a man and a wom-
an, presented themselves at the en-
trance to the camp. The guards
stopped them.

of the five remaining holes. That was
high license.
