DldcK ana Wnlte ual uar $ aDOut TO teen different sorts of men ill dis world and dat when one X man gifts de idea dat he's as good as q three X man he's shorely bree,ln' trulble fur hisself.
 De Hon. Clingstone gihs us to un derstand dat oDe man has jest as much right to dis worlds goods as another, an some of yo' am idiots huff to be- lieye him. De only right dat yo' or any other livin' man has got is chance to sirn yor way, an yo can't allus git dat
 If yo' kin git q few dollars ahead an make dem few dollars bring yo' in a few dollars mo, dat's all right, nut yo' jest dun keep yo'r hands off de has= ket of cokernuts in front of de grocery To may argy dat dey belong to yo' as much as to de grocer. but arter three months in jail yo' will probably see de difference.
 People am gwine around ebcry day an sayin' dat no man has a right to be worf q millyon dollars while another man wants fur bread. Oar hain't no question of right or wrong bout it. One man will git ahead of another ill money maxim, an yo can't help it. Yo' might as we'll say dat one hoss has no bizness to ga!lop in under de wire while anothar g., foolin' away his time on de bacEstretcll.
 'No man was ever yit Lon into dis world who didn't have show to git along. Mebbe he has to begin life ill a sawmill, but it depends upon hisself how long he stays dar. Yo' will find mighty few O de rich men of today who wasn't as pore as skim milk when dey started out in life. If dey hey hustled and worked hard and been cute and forced luck, why should we be down on 'em?
 When yo find pusson argun' dat all property orter he divided up, yo' jest trace him back and vol! find dat he has sot on de fence thirty days fur ebery day he's worked. He aches to git sunthin fur nuthin. He wants some one else to climb de tree fur de chest nuts.
 II reckon yo'll find de Hon. Cling stone to be man of dis sort Tn dc spring, while other folks am plantin' yams and watermillyons, he's shootin craps or sleepin' in de sun. When sum- mer comes and de vans and water millyons are ripe, he's ready to argy dat one man has no bizness to hev hundred millyons while another has none.
 "Yo' want to understand dat man am what he am. He's hisself and no body else. De Lawd didn't dun put him we're to be great or small, rich or pore. It's all left to hisself as to what he shall become Yo' must glib him half de road, and he must do de same by yo'. De man who gifts it into his head dat bekase he happens to be bon he's at de top ob de heap Is half fool I hev dis eavenin' sent word to de Hon. Clingstone dat dis climate am too cold fur him and dat he'd better pack up his bundle and move on. It's none ob my bizness what he may say to yo' as individuals, but when find his doctrines brung into dis Limekiln club as the things to sw'ar by 1t becums my dooty to move in de matter.
 At our IdSC ulccIlu l dCCluculdlIy left fo' lemons on my desk. Some of yo' who believe dat all property should be divided up hev divided dose lemons. Not only dat, but yo didn't even leave de seeds fur me- Oats bout de way sich ideas work out.
 "I am told dat Giveadam Jones was swaggerin' around day or two ago and declarin' dat he was jest as good a man as de next and dat If he had his rights he would also own cabin. As for his bein' as good as am, we won't waste any breath disputin', but I want to make 1t mighty plain to him and to all de res' of yo' dat yo'r the ories want to stop right dar. If any of yo' go on to argy dat de taters and pumpkins and squashes and onions in my cellar am his jest as much as mine, yoll git sich a dose of bird shot dat yo'll finger in bed for three months arterward. Let us now break de meetin' in two and go home"
