i The good rains have put us ail In a
good humor, and the "gee haw" man
whistles a new tuno. Llo jays that the
gran* Is growing and he hits been around
to see "them niggers" to whom ho made
some "Igvanccs" during tho wlntor and
they promised to pay him "If life lusts,"
whenever he got ready for them to hoe.
He Is ready now. and says if they don't
come to time he intends taki.ig tlioiu be
foro Squire Cauthen and If he don't
make them work It out ho will go to
Soulie L>ePu?s and If ho Is not success
ful there, then he "be ding" If ho don't
Hall It out.
Tho "crop spoiler" Is ubiquitous now.
Ho will como to you with an old hoo
shaped like a worn out spoon, with one
or two ehaps to help, and for fifty cents
an acre he will give you a bad stand of
cotton and u good stand of grass. After
lie has worked aa hour or two, ho will
want some tobacco, lloui', molasses and
bacon, and when 'settling time comes,
will quote prices with moro prdiiislon
than a price current. Hut you are anx
ious to keen blni, and will concede to
somo of his requirements. Tho "geo

when he Is away from him. and tho
"crop spoiler" will swear that "that
White irian didn't dAjusUcc."
Another tlmo Is near at hand In which
the "cradler" will be in his element,
lie will want from il.00 to $1.60 pet
day with two good substantial meals
thrown in. He does'libt objostto "(lour

swoet, bus it at home every nioruing,
and will drink enough buttermilk and
clabber to make biscuits for a week. He
will go into you4 oat field and out one
or two lands and then stop and whot up
awhile with a rock about an Inch Ion*.
About two o'clock ho wants water. Ho
will not requlro you to have It brought
for him, but prefers to go to the sprlnir
liluaaelf, and the further off the better.
If there aro three or tour springs on tho
plantation, he will hunt for tho one tho
gieatest distance oft. When ho comes
In to dinner, he will loll around an hour
or so, and when ready to go again, will
have to stop and grind his blade au hour
or so. If his dinner has boen a big one,
with plenty of buttermilk and pot lioker,
you may look out for a broken fiugor or
so la hla cradle before sundown. Ho
never carries atrlngB but uses hickory
