Had a Good Time.

May II, 1904.
EDITOR HERALD:-With your
permission | would like to relate
an incident that occurred in the
neighborhood of my boyhood
days, showing the spirit of re-
spect that prevails among the
white citizens for their colored
neighbors who have lived right.
Aunt Amelia Wade, as she is
commonly known, gave a quilt
ing last Thursday and invited
her white neiyhbors, to which
call they responded from all
quarters; not through any spirit
of equality, however, but through
respect for her many good traits
of character. In sickness or dis
tress among her neighbors the
night never gets too dark or the
storm so furious that Aunt Amelia
and Uncle jim will not penetrate
its thickness to lend a helping
hand to their neighbors in dis
tress.
There were twenty seven to do
their part in relieving the table of
its many good things that came
from the hands of Aunt Amelia,
who as cook is unsurpassed.
The truth of this statement was
in evidence by the way the
women and children passed their
plates for more baked chicken,
boiled ham, pies, cakes and all
kinds of fruits, jellies and pre-
serves. Everybody Jared sump-
tuously for dinner, and late
in the afternoon the table was
forced to groan under its load of
chicken, ham and many other
good things. Again everyone
satisfied his longing appetite and
there was plenty for all and
/ some to spare. Aunt Amelia,
ever mindful Of those that could
not avail themselves of this grand
opportunity, even sent them

We notice that Mr.. Folk and
other Democrats are in favor Of a
primary election law. We be-

be a good thing if properly
framed and properly paid for.
The expenses of such law
should be paid out of the state
and county treasures, for state
and county officers respectively.
If such a law would prevent
bribery and Doodle it would cer-
tainly pay the state and county
to meet the expense.
