STORIES PROM EX-~SL4VES


	~I was born near Broad River in de Dutch Pork of Newberry County. I was a slave of Cage Suber. He was a fair master, but nothing to brag about. I was small at slavery time and had to work inde white folks‘ house or around the hquse until I was big enough to go to de field arid work.

	“Old Marse Cage always made me fan flies o~ of him when he lay down to take a nap. The ~an was made out of bru~ies.

	9De white ftlks had cottori-~pickings, corn-.shuckings and quiltings. Dey allus had something to eat at the frolics and I had to help wid ‘em.

	‘tI married John Riser. I moved to town several years ago.“
