Take thorn home to the old. master, I never heard ot no Uprisings. People loved each other better then than now, They didn‘t have so m~ich idle time. There was always some work to be doing, When they didn‘t mind they run them with dogs and whipped them. The overseer and paddyrollers seed about that. The first day of the year everybody went up to hear the rules and see who was to be the overseerQ Then they knowed what to do for the year. They never did kill nobody. No main that was too costly. They had work according to their strength and age. The Ku Klux was to keep order.

	I have voted but not lately. I votes a Republican ticket. I votes that way because it was the Republicans that set us free, I always heard it said. I jess belongs to that party. Seems lack we gets easier times when the Democrats ~e4~‘. Colonel Williams was a Democrat.

	The young folks are not as well ofC as I was at their age. They are restless and won‘t work unless they gets big pay and they sDends the money too easy. The colored people are too idle and. orderless. They fbi~ht and hate one another and roam around in too rrr~ch confusion.

	I gets from ~3 to ~8 last month from the Sociable welfare. My children helps me mighty little. They got their own children to see after and don‘t make rri~.ich.
