saf, at hove again. ana 1eady 1or
business. Har. bin Oh extendid
trip threw old S"aih C::'ollna. I let5
Norw, d on Sunday, July 2lsS and
got tack on AH::: 3. which was Sat-
urday. I shore dill IaT" glo1:"us
time while I was gone, but after awl
the best part Of trip is Citing back
h"n,e TO Jccms. I went to Saulsberry
aid Sharlot, Gastony and Spartan
burg, stoppin fur a few daze in
Greenville. From there I went to
Newberry. s. E., and sjade hole
week. I had sum turrible times and
got completely riled several times
while was gene. The first time was
I'D here at New London when we
started to Whitney. Cap'n Frabier
was of On a vacation and nuther
;:sonduckter-a tony lookin feller
named Chattem, was runnln his JOB.
] don't no what in the name of sense
shey called him that for, cawse he
aiidn't chat 'em worth a red sent. At
Yer he got their tickets or money, he
didn't pay no more 'tention to 'em,
no diffrunce how purity they was.
Wei. as was sayin, when We got to
New London, that conduckter sed We
had to go by Whitney; and, Mr.. Ed
Ter. as shore as my name is Becky
Ann Jones, he perseeded to take us
down there backerds! Mrs. Ramsey
from Chestnut Hill, Saulsberry, was
on the trane. and me and her got to
tawkin about sich a indienity bein
out onto us. Me and her had both
bin use to goin into things face fore
mist and with both ize open, and we
didn't like no sick. Purity soon I
prescovered that Chatem feller COM
i threw the kyars, and I up and
axed him what he meant by sich
@doins. Sez I:
my deer man; besides bein riled
and exasperatid to the pint of ex-
plodin, I'm also comfuddled and puz-
zled to no your reesin, that is if you
have got AIRY won, for sich doins. Air
you 'shamed fur your passengers to
s=see Whitney, or air you 'shamed fur
Whitney to see your passengers? ?
Which is it, man?''
I reckin my umbrel looked purity
'thretnin, cawse he tride to get up
sum sort Of flimsy passifyin ex-
tcuse that wernt no excuse at awl.
Z told him that I node well and
good that Cap'n Frazier woodn't a
subjagated his passengers to sich in
dignity. Then Mr.. Ghatem flowed
with EN- aticks, that he was jest as
good a conduckter as Cap'n Frazier
,or any other Cap'n, and, ruther than
have fuss and make spectickle of
myself, I let it go at that-bit my un-
ruly member, put up my umbrel and
sot down to mediate consarnln the
unreesinbleness Of the male men.
Well, I had long time had ham
KERN to see Whitney, and had lade
off to 60 there soon; but little did [
think that when I did 60, I'D go in
>backerds! I never seen nuthln down
there that inprest me favorable, but
of course as I never got often the
kyars, I hadn't orter pass judgment
on the place.
After a while we got to Saulesberry
and, I alters lowed it was a sin to
be pore and act the same way, so I
went to won Of them hifalutin hotels
where sarvant skoots cheer under
you when you go to set down to the
table, and then stands rite behind you
freddy to do jest anything you axe
''em. Bless Patty, I thought I was too
late fur supper, cawse there wern't a
SOLITARY thing on that table 'ceptln
few tiny little dishes Of stuff stuck
rite round the plates Of a couple Of
dudes. I node they was dudes soon
as lade ize on 'em, fur they was
jest prezactly like Governor Glenn s
preseriptin Of that species, in the
speech he made at Albemarle the big
corner stone layin' day. Yes they
was dudes-wawkin sticks, big
floppy brltches and awl. I was about
to axe 'em what they ment by taken
possession Of ever artickle Of eata-
;bles that was on the table, when a
nice eileen 1ookin yaller chap warrin
a putty white apern and cap, handed
voo ctrin of nanar that 1oo1ke6 f11r
