give a satisfactory account of his
presence, or take his medicine. The
negroes were whipped while the
whites were reprimanded. Negroes
had to present papares from owners
before being excused, the passes de-
signaling the hours to be at home.
There are many jokes told of the
tricks practiced to run the gauntlet
of p~atrolers, and often the younger
boys would black up, and purposely
get in the way of the %patrolers, to
have a race. On one occasion my
old friend, Roche and 1 BACKED our
selves completely and went out for
a little fun. We knew we we're
swift of foot, and no patrolers could
hem US or outrun us. We stationed
ourselves just above the post office,
where Mr.. McClain live. Now, Mr..
McClain ha a very ferocious bull
dog about the first I ever saw. AS
the patrolers came up the street from
the Court House, we ~sauntered out,
and the race was on. They spied
us, no wfor the chase-for we were
swift of foot. Away we went in
a circuitous route, all about the
town. At first we gained on the
patrolers but towards the last we
began to fag, and now it was only
strategy that could save US, so we
took the risk of jumping into the
McClain yard, and beat the dog to
the opposite side, thereby gaining
sufficient ground to elude the pa
t~rolers, and get home for we al
ready had enough. Being in front
| cleared the fence, with my friend
just behind. AS I struck the ground
| saw the dog make a dive for us.
l cleared the fence, but not so with
my friend, for just as he reached
the top, the dog caught him in the
seat of his trousers, then a commo-
ton from dog and boy. The dog
shook and growled while my friend
made some pitiful cries. To cut it
short, the patrolers were compelled
to call Mr.. McClain to assist in a
separation. They actually had to
cut out the seat of my friends trous-
ers before he could be e~xtricated.
You see my friend was on the out
side of the fence while the dog was
swinging on the inside. When he
was released I heard one of the pa
trolers say. why the nam of God, it
is Mans's Duck Alex, we will fix him.
/ don't know what they did for I
heard only one lick and a squall and
/ left for home before they discover
ed my friends identity. I knew it
was my turn next. That was the
last and only time we ever tried such
a. caper, and my friend to this day,
has never told me of the results that
followed. I never breach the sub
ject of patrolers in his presence.
