	“I reckon I lived in Ârkansa~about thï~r years before I left and come here to Little Rock. When I left Georgia, I come to Arkansas and settled down In Lonoke County, made crops there. I couldn‘t tell you how long I stayed there. I didn‘t keep no record of it at all, I cone out of Lonoke County and went into J~efferson,

	“Man, I wa~ never in such shape as I ara in now. That devilish stock law killed me. It killed all the people. Nobody ain‘t been able to do nothin‘ since they passed the stock law. I had seventy-five hoes and twenty cows, They made a law you had to keep theni chickens up, keep them hoes up, keep them cows up. They shoots at every right th1n~, and the wrong things they don‘t shoot at. God don‘t uphold no man‘ to set you up in the jail when you ain‘t done nothin‘. You didn‘t have no privilege then (slave time), and you ain‘t got none now.“
