Whippings

	“Early Hurt had an overseer named SoMers. He tied my sister Crecie to a st~imp to whip her, Creole was stout and heavy. She was a grown young woman and big and strong. Sanders had two dogs with him in case he would have trouble with anyone ~ Uhen he started layin‘ that lash on Creole‘ s back, she pulled up that stump and whipped him and the dogs both0

	“Old &arly Hurt came up and whipped her hls8elf. Said, ‘Oh, you‘re too bad for the overseer to whip, huh?‘


	“Wasn‘t no such thlng8 as lamps in thera days. J‘us‘ used pine knots. When we quilted, we jus‘ got a good knot and lighted it. And when that one was nearly lxirnt out ‚ we would light another one from it.

	~We had a old lady named ‚ ~Aunt‘ Gharlotte ; she waan‘ t my aunt ‚ we jus‘ called her that. ~he used to keep the children when the hands were working.

Lt she liked you she would treat your children well. It she didn‘t like you ‚ she wouldn‘ t treat them so good. Her naxae was Charlotte Marley. She was too old to do any good In the field; and she had to take care of the babies, If she didn‘t like the people, she would leave the babies‘ napkins on all day long, wet and filthy,

	“My papa‘ s znai~a, Sash, was killed by I iglitning. She was Ironing and was in a hurry to get through and get the supper on for her master, Zany Hurt0 I was the oldest child, end I always was scared of lightning,
