	“We lived in little oie log houses. We called ‘ein cabins. They had stick an‘ dirt ehimleys wid one door to de house ant one window. It shet to lak a door.
	tiWe did not have any gardens an‘ we never had any

money of our own. We Jeatwurked fer de white folks.

	“We had plenty surnptin to eat an‘ it wus cooked good. ~r mother wus de cook an‘ she done it right. Our clothes wus home‘~‘made but we had plenty shiftin‘ clothes. Course our shoes wus given out at Christmas. We got one pair a year au‘ when dey wore out we got no more an~ had to go barefooted de rest of de time. You had to take care of dat pair uv shoes bekase dey wus all you got a year. The slaves caught gaine sometime an‘ et it in de cabins, but dere wus not much time fer huntin‘ dere wus so much wurk to do.

	“Dere wus ‘bout fifty slaves on de plantation, an‘ dey wurked from light till dark. I ‘member dey wurkint till dark. Course I wus too small to ‘member ail ‘bout it an‘ I don‘t ‘member ‘bout de overseers. I never seen a slave whupped, but I ‘members seem‘ dem carryin‘ slaves in droves like cows. De w~iite men who wus guardin‘ !em walked in front an‘ some behind. I did not see an~3r chains. I never seen a slave sold an‘ I don‘t ‘member ever seem‘ a jail fer slaves. . .
