NIGHT: | was eating my fish and
drinking my beer but | can't say
that | was surprised when | heard
lotta talk going on 'mongst Amt
Haggar's Chillun bout how you
alls is KILN up one nudder lately,
and at the remedy that everybody
seems agreed on for stopping the
continued slaughter and mostly
they were laying it one the police,
who they say oughta rest ever
body they ketch with switch blade
knife and give 'em six months of
the chain gang, with the chains
on 'em, and who they say oughta
rest everybody they ketch widda
pistol in they pocket and give 'em
a whole lot longer time on the
County Farm, but most of all they
blames it on the JUDGES, who al
ways look lack they gifts in a
hurry when one of Aint Haggar's
Chillun is done kilt one of his
brethren, and fo all the evidence
is in issues out five years de "pen-
taintury" when the Electric Chair
wouldda said "amen" when the
brother set down because Of being
so glad to git him, and while |
sat there eating my fish and drink
ing my beer | couldn't help from
agreeing with them sentiments
anent the haste with which lot of
Judges try Negroes charged with
killing Negroes and the universally
light sentences imposed against
Negroes for numbering other Ne
groes, and while | was thinking
about it | thought about what Amt
Haggar's Chillun could do to let
the Judges know about their feel
ings towards one Negro killing
another Negro, as | noted the talk
going on among Amt Haggar's
Chillun on the subject Before
| get to that tho, as Ny Grandma
used to say, before Negroes learn
to stop killing-up one another.
they've got to wake up and learn
that there's lotta folks who get
kick out of seeing US killing-up
one another, because they think the
Lord went to sleep and let too
many of Aaint Haggar's Chillun
loose, anyhow Now, as far as
the JUDGE is concerned Aint
Haggar's Chillun can write letters
to the Judge, which amt no crime.
and tel him to do MORE to Ne
groes for killing Negroes than he's
been doing, but lack my Grandma
said, somehow, somewhere, some
body's got to let Aint Haggar's
Chlllun know that there's a lotta
folks that get kick out of seeing
Us kllllng-up one another.
WHO'S HAPPY NOW: Them
smiles that everybody was looking
at on Old Dukes face down around
the corner of Parish and Hamilton
the other day was because his little
boy, HE JEST CRAZY ABOUT
HIM, came back from Chicago. A
friend hearing his companion tell
ing about how happy Brother Duke
was because his boy was back said, |
Yea, dats right, but Dukes wife |
came back, too.
FOLKS ARE TALKING A
BOUT: Ruth and Sheek are being
seen out together again and hav- !
ing a good time at all the popular
places after everybody was talk
ing about the rift between them

HER DREAM REALIZED: Ev-
erybody is saying that certain
popular Dotty Cab telephone girl
