Ouija boards, but as long as the
negro can have his conjure bag
he is not envious. A conjure bag
and razor in the hands of {
southern darby is an unbeatable
combination. There was a time
when half pint Of gin was need
ed to make the combination COM
plete but the white folks have run
gin out of the country. Occa.
sionally though, some white man
will hand negro little spirit
ual comfort and a bit Of bottled
happiness. Such an individual
gave one Of his negro friends a
quart bottle half full Of liquor
and fe w days afterwards asked
him how he liked it The negro
replied that the refreshments were
LESS right" "They was jess
right, boss-jess right" he said.
What do you mean by "jess
right. his white friend asked
him.
why, boss" was the reply, "ef
it had been any better you would
mt er give it to me and if it had
been any worse I couldn't er
drunk it."
The average negro of either sex
gives little thought to tomorrow.
They seem to think that both
providence and the white folks
are kind and that they will be
taken care of. During the great
war the negroes made more money
than ever before in the history Of
the country. Cotton pickers earn
ed $25 to $35 a week. In ordinary
times their wages amounted to
from So to $40. Trading in town
ON a Saturday afternoon became
a big event with money SO plenti-
full. The storekeepers were ready
for them. A tall black girl, about
nineteen years old, went into a
store in Statesboro, Ca, and ask
ed to look at pair of shoes. The
clerk showed her a pair. She ask
ed the price and was told they
were 81.
go on, white man." she ex-
claimed, II want a pair Of sho
huff Shoes"
The clerk took another pair in
every way identical with those
first shown and let her inspect
them.
''How much?" she asked.
Twelve dollars" said the clerk.
"Wrop 'em up, man, sho want
to wear 'em to church tomorrow"
she said, and, getting them, went
away contented.
Luckily and happily Sambo is
not without his sense of humor.
It is his saving grace at times
when his white employer gets mad
with him because of some stupid
act or he falls out with one Of his
neighbors. Philosophers tell us
that the man who cam see the
laugh in a situation often saves
very critical climaxes. There was
a negro in Georgia who unwilling
~ gave an example Of this that
brought laughter to those who
heard it. Two negroes were hav-
ing quarrel over some matter
when one of them said to the 9th
er:
"I'll sue you through the jestice
court"
"I'll be thar" was the quick re-
joinder, '.I'll sue you through the
city cot" l-sUl
'I'll be thar" exasperated at
the GOODNESS of his answer, the an
CRY negro said, "I'll sue you
through the Superior Cot"
'.Pll be thar" was the quiet re-
joinder, chi sue you through
I'LL"
my lawyer'll be thar" was the
prompt reply, and the laugh that
followed on the part of the white
people that heard it broke up all
thoughts Of litigation in the mind
of the other negro.
But the southern negro is not

to the prisoner nearest to him, h
asked:
How long you going fer?"
Two years." was the reply.
"An' how long your" to the mex
negro.
| Five years"
And, turning to the last of tn
trio, the inquisitive visitor asked
AN how long you going for?"
From now on" was the laconi
reply, as full meaning to both quea
TONERS and queried as if they ha,
spent an hour discussing the situa
tion.
Another story we tell in tn,
South to illustrate the negroe.
way of thinking under certain cir
cumstances is that of the man wht
was i'm Jail when one of his rae,
passed by in veiw of the barred
window at which the prisoner was
standing.
"Whatcher want?"
what time is it?"
What you wanter know for
you ain goin' nowhere is yer?"
And he departed, leaving his
questioner still in the dark as to
the hour of day.
When it comes to the English
language the Southern negro can
employ it in a most marvellous way
l could stand here for sometime
and tell you many instances of this
character, from the story of the
negro womann who told her lawyer
she wanted to get her husband out
of jail by swearing out a "hokus
pokus" to that of the negro man
who asked his boss to please ex-
cuse him because his wife had to
undergo serious operation. Ask
ed what it was, he said he didn't
know exactly as all she had told
him was she was going to have her
kimona cut out. But there is one
story we think is quite funny down
here. A lady employed negro
woman to wash her clothes and
when they came back she COM
planned of their being discolored.
81 don't sc how that can be, Miss
Minnie" said the washer. ''be-
cause done boiled them in a agon-
izing pot myself"
Another was telling one of her
white friends about saving her
children from being burned, She
had reached home just as the fire
began to scorch the floor in front
of the fireplace.
81 tell you, Misses" she said, II
certainly did reach them chillun
at the geological moment
1t was the husband of this wo-
man who was put in Jail in the
summertime and who sent for a
white lawyer friend to get him
out.
what they got you in here for,
JIM" the lawyer ased.
81 ain know jes exactly, boss,
but / think the jedge said it was
fragancy!
Often the Southern negro is re-
sourceful in an unexpected way.
He works things out on an econom-
ical basis by system that is UNI
looked for. Such negro was the
man who appeared at the ticket
window of a railroad Office and
asked for two round trip tickets
Savannah to Augusta, "An,' boss,
he said, mark one of them tickets

negro ONE must be very particular

County Commissioners Open Bids
Monday But Defer Letting Con-

Bids were opened Monday for the
Yelm road construction. Two Of the
commissioners Messrs Sans and Ben
nett were favorable to getting the
matter started at once, but 1t appears
that Messrs NeYlon and Yeager ap'
peared before the public service com.
mission and objected to the grade
crossing which would have to be
authorised. sG-- r Is
Feeling their influence was not
sufficient they secured the assistance
Of DR.. Carlyon to go before the COM
mission to work against the crossing,
so it is said. At any rate the senator
appeared before the commission. ,t
The Olympia Chamber of Com
merce promised this road all the
assistance this city could give to the
people of Yelm and to the business
men of Olympia who wanted the
road put through.
1t is time the citizens held a mass
meeting and found out where the
trouble Is.
