who dare TO lift finger against tote"
Totes antiquity and history en-
title it to the respect of honest men
Some maintain that it is one of the
two or three words of African origin,
imported with the slaves, which have
survived and passed into our common
vocabulary, and that its course runs
back into the remote past of the Dark
Continent. II this be true. its per-
sistent survival should be enough to
convince the most exclusive of its
fitness and of the fact that 1t has come

ground for believing that tote is de-
rived from The fine old Anglo-Saxon
verb "totiar,' which means TO lift"
