The Argus Daily Short Story
A Bight-By F. A. Mitchell.
Copyrighted. 1911. by Associated Literary Press

The year 1860 marked the acme of
plantation life in the south, a life
which only persons now quite old have
lived. There were two sides to slavery
the one as represented by the kind
master. the other by the man who
considered his slave as a mere piece of
property. Naturally the families of
the more refined class of planters form
ed society of their own, and it was
among these especially that instances
of fidelity and attachment occurred

old plantation homes. 1t was there that
the negro worked by day in the cotton
field and in the evening sang those
melodies, a product of the period, ex-
pressing a condition that died with
the advent of emancipation. The rela.
tons between master and slave have
passed away with the system. and the
following incident, told me few years
after the close of the war which abol-
ished that system, could not possibly
occur today:
