THE MANNINGTIMES. Published Every Wednesday. !ZDIDAY; 01121%3f 16, 10911 BILL ARP. An Old Time iander rulling.' Not to go back in history further than my own time and recollections, let me venture upon some unoccupied territory and tell how Cherokee, Georgia, became the home of that much-maligned and misunderstood individual known as the Georgia cracker. I have lived long in his re gion and am close akin to him. There is really but little difference between the Georgia cracker and the Alabama or Tennessee cracker. They all have or had the same origin, and until the Appalachain range was openedl up to the rest of mankind by railroads and the schoolhouse these crackers had ways and usages and a language peculiarly their own. It will be remembered that until 1835 the Cherokee Indians owned and occupied this region of Georgia -the portion lying west of the Chat tahoochee and north of the Tallapoo sa rivers. They were the most peace able and civilized of all the tribes, but they were not subject to Georgia laws, and had many conflicts and dis turbances with their white nabors. It seemed -to be the manifefst destiny that they should go. "Go west, red man, "was the white man's fiat. They went at the point of the bayonet, and all their beautiful country was sud denly opened by the ingress of whom soever might come. Georgia had it surveyed and divided into lots of forty and 160 acres, and then made a lottery and gave every man and wid ow and orphan child a chance at the drawing. But the cracker dident wait for the drawing. The rude, un tamed and restless people from the mountain borders of Georgia and the Carolinas flocked hither to pursue their wild and fascinating occupation of hunting and fishing for a liveli hood. They came separately, but soon assimilated and shared a com mon inteiest. There are such spirits in every community. There are some right here now who would rather go up to Cohutta mountains on a bear hunt thaa to go to New York or Paris for pleasure. I almost would myself, and I recall the earnest cravings of my youth to go west and find a wil derness, and with my companions live. in a hut and kill deer and turkeys, and sometimes a bear and a panther. But for my town raising and old field school education I too wQuld have made a very respectable cracker. This was the class of young men and middle-aged that first settled among these historic bill and valleys and climbed these mountains and fished in these streams. By and by the for tunate owners of these lands received .their certificates and many of them came from all parts of the State to look up their lots and see how much gold er how much bottom land there was upon them, but gold was the principal attraction. The Indians had found gold and washed it out of the creeks and branches and tra&d it in small parcels to the white man, and it was believed that-every stream was lined with golden sand. This proved an illusion, and so the sanat ters were not disturbed or else they bought their titles for a song and then sang "sweet home"~ of their own. They built their cabins and cleared their lands and raised their scrub cat tle, and with their old-fashioned rifies kept the family in game. Many of these settlers could read and write, but in their day there was but little to read. No newspapers and but few books were found by the hunter's friends. Their children grew up the same way, but what they lacked in cul ture they supplied in rough experi ences and hair-breadth. escapes and fireside talk, and- in the sports that were either improvised or inherited. Pony races, gander pullings, shooting mnatches, coon huntings, and quiltings had more attraction than books. How they got to using such twisted lan guage as you'uns and we'uns and In guns and mout and gwine and all sich is not known, nor was such talk un versal. When such idioms began in a family they descended and spread out among the kindred, but it was not contagious. I know one family now of very extensive connections who have a folk-lore of their own, and it can be traced back to the old an cestor who died- half a century ago. But these corruptions of language are by no means peculiar to the cracker, for the English cockneys and the gen uine Yankee have an idiom quite as eccentric, though they do not realize it and would not admit it. The Georgia cracker was a merry hearted, unconcerned; independent reature, and -all he asked was to be let alone by the laws and the outside world. The justice court of his beat was quite enough limitation for him. He had far more respect for the old spec taeled "squire than for the highest court of the nation. From this home made tribunal he never appealed un til the young lawyers began to figure in it, and seduced him into the mys teries of the law and the wonderful performances of the writ of "Sashera ry." Nevertheless they looked upon lawyers as suspects and pirasites, and their descendants have the same opin ion still. The old 'squire was special ly "fornent" them, and looked upon the sasherary as an insult to his ju dicial capacity. Sometimes he would let two young limbs of the law argue a case before him for half an hour, and then quietly remark, "Gentlemen, I judgmenticated this case last night at home," and woud proceed with his docket. That old 'squire and the preacher were quite enough to pilot these people through life and across the dark river. A few years after they bad settled down as the successors to the In dians a class of more substantial cit izens began to look in upon this beau tiful country. 'T hey purchased the valley lands and the river bottoms,' and soon the forests began to fall be fre the ax of the pioneers. Some of them brought slaves with them and: erected saw mills and framed houses with glass windows to live in, and the scool master came along, but the crackers were in the majority and lved along in the same old primitive ay. As late as 1847 they had gan ae plngne and one that I witnessed that summer lasted for two hours and the original Bill Arp was the victor. I could have seen more of them, but I did not care to, just for the same reason that a kind-hearted man does not wish to see but one hanging. One Saturday morning when we ar rived at Blue Gizzard ccurtgrouud, the clans had gathered in unusual force. As preliminary to the more important contest that was soon to come off, some of the boys were shooting at a small piece of white pa per that was pinned to a distant tree. Some were gathered around the spring. Some were trying old moth er Tutton's fresh cider and ginger cakes that she offered from the hind gate of her little wagon, and some I were sampling the corn whisky that I was kept in a jug in the little log i court house hard by. We soon per ceived the central and most attractive spot to be a small tree with a limb I forking about ten feet from its base. < A long, slender, springy pole was i resting in the fork with the large end i pressed to the ground and fastened with stobs crossed on either side and driven firmly in the clay. This in cline raised the long end of the pole I quite high in the air, and to that end i was looped a plow line, and to the i lower end of the line another loop I was slipped over the crimson feet of i a venerable gander and left him < swinging, head downwards, just high i enough for a horseman to reach it I easily as he rode underneath. The doomed bird gave an occasional 4 squawk, and, with wings half open and neck half bent, looked with un- I questioned alarm upon the proceed- i ings. The feathers had been strip- I ped from its neck and a thick coat of grease put on instead. The under- I growth had been removed and a run ning path for. the horsemen carefully i cleared of all obstructions. The tournament began at 11 o'clock. Twenty sovereigns, mounted on their < plow nags, ranged themselves at one I end of the path and awaited the call I of their names by the old 'squire who i had them written on a fly-leaf in the 1 back of his docket. No man was al- I lowed to ride until he had planked 1 up a dollar. The old 'squire had , contributed the gander just out of i good willto the boys, he said, and he was nominated as treasurer and um pire and carried the bag, and on his 1 decision the whole sum was to be I awaided the yictor. He had adjourn- I ed his court for two hours to see the i fun and keep down any disturbance 1 of the peace. Eight "whippers" I were mustered in, four on each side j of the running course. They were I all armed with good long switches or hickorys, and their willing duty was I to see to it that no man's nag moved j towards the gander with less alacrity . than a gallop. "Now, boys," said he, "not a lope that would- keep a nag I a-loping half an hour in the shade of I a tree, but a right lively gallop, and if the critter slows up any, you must peartin him up a litle--especially as I he's nighin' toward the gander." i The boys were true sovereigns. They were not knights. They were< arrayed in their home-made pants and home-made shirts and home-knit galluses. Their shoes were made at the tannery and their hats at the hat- I tery. Coats and vests were not on their regalia. All the naborhood were t their spectators including many wo men, some with infants at the breast and some with sons in the tourna- I mentt The gathering people exchanged s salutations and smiles and gave the< family news and gradually drew near the place where the anserian strug gle was impending. The old 'squire had participated in a some old-fashioned musters in his day, r and so, when everything was ready he stood on a log and, raising his right hand, exclaimed: "'Tention company! In~ the proceedings that. we are about to proceed with it are 1 expected that every man will conductv bis behavior accordin' to what's fair f and honest-no man are to take any disadvantage of ary other man nor of the gander. Thar he are hangin' j without a friend. Tote fair boys, r tote fair; and put him out of misery ~ as quick as you ken, in reason. Jack ~ Pullm-three paces to the front- a now ready-aim-charge-" As Jack stuck his heels in his po- c ny's flank the crowd shouted: "Charge 'em Jack ! Charge 'em !" But Jack's c ritter wasent used to charging. He a rebelled at the go and the "whippers ~ in" had to come to his support. He dashed i~i and out of the path wildly, a but finally took the bit in his teeth and started down the line on a des perate run for freedom amid the shouts and cheers of the multitude. He steered well until he suddenly c eyed the great white bird just ahead 1; of him. He stopped as if on the brink of a precipice, but Jack went on. That capped the climax of tu multuous hilarity. The like of that was what they came for. Jack caught on his hands and feet, and was soon S s remounted and took another start, and his nog behaved better, but still v did not come in reach of the gander, y and jack lost his chance until the sec ond grand round. "We'uns haint g got no geese at our house," gaid he, t "and my animal never seed one afore b as I knows on." "Samuel Swillin, to the front," call ed the 'squire. "Ready, aim, charge." Sam's critter was more tractable and Sam got a fair grab, but the grease was too slick for him, and as he slip- I ped his hold the poor bird swung to and fro and flapped his wings and a squawked loud and long at the terri- f ble squeeze and the more terrible elongation of his oesophagus. Sam r was congratulated on his effort. He wiped his fingers on a pine top, and t said: "Yes I'll be dadburned if I a wouldent have got him, but the dingd thing was so allfired slickery. I was C in hopes that Jack Pullam wouldC ave got the fust grab and sleeked offen some of it." "Rube Underwood"-to the front- . ready-aim-charge. Rube had as big mouth and was freckle faced and 9 red headed, and rode a flee-bitten gray that had been taught to dance t and prance around and to go side- v ways-"jest to show smart," as the 1 boys said-and it took the animal sometime to be convinced that dane ing and prancing wasn't in order atr this particular time. A wolloping lick as he neared the goal caused him I to make a fearful leap right under the bird, and as Rube had to use both hands to hold his seat the gan der's head collided square in Rube'sy face and some swore got in his mouth I and "effen he had jest. shet it he would Lave had the prize." He rc tired in good order and tiwaited his econd turn. Oue lby one the riders -ame as they were called. One afb r mother got soile of the grease anl viped it on their horses' manes, but lhe muscles of the gaud]er were old md tough, and every one of the :wenty had gone his round and failed, vhen the 'squire called a halt and >rdered another greasing. It was evident, however that some lamage had been done the bird, for iis wings hung droopy and his voice vas failing him. There was a lacera ion of sinews going on, and but for he fresh greasing the sport would iave soon ended. "'Tention, com )any," said the 'squire. "The pro ,eedinses will now take a little recess. 3oys, you can light and look at your addles, and ef you want water you ;in go to the spring and git it, but Ion't wait long for my old gander re bangin' there without a friend Lnd sufferin'." The tournament was soon resumed. 3ill Arp was the tenth man of the econd round. He was the tenth of he first, and many predicted then hat he would break the gander's ieck or the plow line or the pole, for us grip was like a vise and his agili y notorious, but somehow the gan ler ducked at the critical moment Lnd Bill grapped his head instead of iis neck and -made a miscarriage. As Bill's turn came again the crowd ijaculated: "Now, watch him boys." 'Can't he ride, though?" "See how ie sots on his critter." "Blamed if he dn't tarred to his nag." "Look at iis eye." "No whippers for him." 'He's a gwine to carry that gander's iead a half a mile before he stops." 'Farewell, goose, ri' preach your fu ieral." "Good-bye gander." And sure enough Bill got the right rip this time and in a trice had giv ,n the neck a double and something lad to break the pole and the ine swiftly followed his motion. For 6 moment it seemed uncertain what vould break or what had broken for he strained tendons popped like a vhip as Bill's nag went on at full peed. For a little while the quiver ng, headless body swung backwards nd forwards and was then at rest. Chen came the shouts and the wild iurrab. Bill was game and so was iis critter, and as they came round to he front the crowd gathered round o see the gander's head that he held igh in his hand-the warm blood rickling from the arteries. After the ubilee was over Bill invited the nine een and the 'squire to old Mother Cutton's wagon, and having purchased ier stock of cakes and cider and the ug in the court house he "gin 'em all treat." There was not a fight nor fuss in all the "proceedinses." In a ew minutes thereafter the voice of he bailiff was heard crying "Oh yes, h yes-the honorable court of the 25th deestrict are now met kordin' o adjournment. God save the State ud the honorable court." These i-ough, rude people were the riginal Georgia crackers. They con tituted a large proportion of the >oplation of Cherokee half a century igo. They were generally poor but hey enjoyed life more than noney. They were sociable and ey were kind. When one of their ~ tumber was sick they nursed him rhen he died they dug a grave and uried him, and that was the end of he chapter. There was no tomb- y toe oepitaph, no obituary. Their lass is fast disappearing from our idst. Civilization has encroached pon them, and now their children tl and their children's children have as imilated with a higher grade of hu- ~ aanity.___Bru. Aar. Sumter News.
