horses up In Judge Harbour's lot, and tht

"I borrowed Judgo Vccrfoot's notes foi
1100, which, with my Indorsements, suh, I
sold for enough to pay tho pasture bill foi
tho two circus horses. Then I mortgaged
the horses, and after feed In them up I got
enough to got a harness and a wagon. Sc
by tho end of tho week I had a very good
wagon to seat eight people, and tho twe
horses and harness, and I started in tht
livery business, suh. I had not been In the
business mo' than two weeks befo' Colonel
Talcott's Black 8am caino down to sco mt

"Then I says to mysolft 'Yancey, brace

Ufa If you aro ever going to support yom

that night, suh, ho camo down, and he
brought four bucks and four wenches. It
was a very cold night, suh, a very cold
night I havo not seen any such wcathet
in that port of tho stato for years. I hooked
up too team an drove over to uarbours
vflle. The ball was over a grocery store.
There was a grocery storo below and a hall
above, with a kind of balcony out of this
upper place, and there was a ladder on the
outside leading to tho balcony above. After
I tied up I got into tho room. Perhaps you
don't know tho effect of a room in which
there are seventy-five or eighty niggers, and
two playing their fiddles at tho end of tho
room, nnd a rcdhot stove in the middle,
suh. Of courso you don't know the effect
of a thing of that kind, but I want to as
sure you, sun, that tuo atmosphere was
well, oppressive
"I stood it as long as I could, an then I
sashayed between the balcony and tho in
sldoof tho room, and finally went out on
tho balcony, catchlug my breath between
times. When I'd been there awhile I says:
'Brace up, Yancey, you're trying to support
your family. There's no reason why you
should die of pneumonia. Go in an sit
down on a bench.'
"I hadn't been there mo'n five minutes
when Black Bam came up an said, 'Major
