"Ah warn you, niger, eff All

Caesar White paused and gazed
at the smaller negro as some tran
gull OK might regard calf that
had strayed into its pasture.
The negroes were toiling in the
tlrpentine settlement under the
burning rays of the Carolina sun.
They sweated and painted as they
filed the barrels and rolled the
crude rosin up the incline of
planks to the roof of the distillery,
where shone the great lid of the
copper still.
Caesar White was good-na-
tured giant in the main, or had
been until Jefferson Grant, the
quadroon dude, sauntered into the
camp with his collars and cuffs,
and hair that shone with cocoa
nut oil. Then trouble arose, for
Mandy, the superintendent
cook, had Succumbed to his faSci-
nations.
Jefferson Grant shifted disdain-
fully and resumed his labors.
Every week day, except on Mon
days, the distillation went on, the
crude rosin, dumped into the
great still, kissing and bubbling
furiously within, though to the
watcher on the distillery roof
there was no symptom of the
commotion of the fluid inside the
boiler, where half ton of rosin
simmered like molten steel
