•a the rinplrt of ~a’ttiotfcntrd erenln
twlls — the time
when a gnng of
“us hoys'Went up
to town along’ in
the, fall of the
year and I g’i'e
the old family
graveyard a tre-
mendius e 1 o s t
shave. Nothin
but the hand of
'S>' Providence and
pure nigger luck
piilled me through the toils and kb area
and trials and troubles of that au
tumnal day, which then I got out by
the hair of my head and the skin of my
teeth, as it were.
••From finnrUo to Sunset."
By tlie old stage road. it. was sixteen
miles from the settlement whcre.wegot
our wash in done to the town of Green
ville, where we sold cotton and chick
ens and eggs and other farm produce-
ment«, and bought a few dry goods and
groceries and other valuables of life.
When I .look hack now and think about
jftt right serious serins .to me like Green
ville but.,Utt)e jnpr<i than. a wide
place In the,road. Hut It. was town,
you understand; tp. raj young eyes It
was the biggest and the.buslrst and the
finest place, ju t}ie i;ound created.warld.
Up to tlutf, tiipe it hod always looked to
me like the sun rose, sornewheres over
there in the tint .woodp pn the other side
of rqnther creek, and tlir.n w,cnt down
with n loyal bobtail flips}* apd se.t l>ehind
them old red hills around Greenville.
Irr that*day xind generattdh the men
folks didn’t go to town ns regular nod
frequent ns they do now, and it was only
about ouest a year that they would fill
up’wfth tlie milk of human kindness
and let the l oys go with them. And,
mind you, with us boys a trip to town
was the biggest thing in the deck—the
happiest and most brightest spot in the
records of a year. White people, ne-
cordin to the way I see things now and
the way I saw tlsfngs then, a railroad
excursion nil the way from New York to
New Orleans nowadays aint nothin to a
ride on our ox wagon from Panther
Creek to t he town of Greenville.
So in the large and lovely autumn, in
the golden Indian fields were turnln
brown and red 0.ikl pale in patches—
the men folks they yoked up the
oxen and loaded the wagons and took
he boys’vcith them and went to town,
f }t was given unto me to live right
pn for a hundred years to come
I never could forget now tremendins
pig and broad and bright and lienutlfui
jfte world looked to me on ttunt frosty
pioruin in October asthc wagons polled
put pver the old stage rond—men and
pxen pud lx»ys nil headed for town—
from Panther Creek tp GroenvlJlp-=-
from punrise to sunset,'•
)
Vnelc Lulie and Ills Whir*
If in ease ypu hove lived ns long ns I
have ypu have took notice by this time
that bark there: In'them plain old day*
people had more oxen mid thought
more of their cow tennis than they do
now. On that trip I recollect that
•omo of the men driv two oxen and
some driv four, whilst Uncle Luke
Willis he driv six without the sign of a
rope on narry one. He had him a long
kefn whip, which he could take it anil
set the very air on fir? from the tail of
the olT ox at the wheels to the horns of
the lead ox v.fl’y ouf there in frOnk And
to hear Uncle Luke tnlkin to his cows,
eometimes kind and gentle and some
times w itii a kind voice in the plainest
and strongest United States language,
and then see him handle, his long whip
till it wou]d cpk.up njid hiss and pop
like a hunch of firecrackers—that was
fun and show enough for me.
Soon u« ever we got to town and sold
out the cotton and othet •prodn'eements
which we had took to market, the men
folks driv- around-oie the square and
halted the wagons. Then they
went off and left us boys there to
mind Hic teams, and keep loose stock
•way. You understand t hey didn't have
no slock law in tows then, apd if you
didn't look-out tlie- <A>A<h and hogs and
tilings would cat up every blessed thing
In the wagons. . - . u - ■.
So the men folks they left us boys
with'thp w agons ami tennis, whilst they
went off to “see aWout it," ns I heard
Uncle Luke snv. As for me, I don't
know /orVertaiu where they went, hut
from w hat liifie I could see. niid pick up
•round the edges I knowed blame well
they didn’t go off and drink any plain
branch water tP speak .of.,"
Finally’hV4nst 1 told the boys If they
would le*vc Ben Chris Weaver with me
•nd let me have Uncle Luke’slong whip,
I would mind the wagons and teams
•nd they- eonM-makn-oprg-eTPtvtt und
take-in {bp town, if we.pnly turned
loosb* Uvoijt.three at a tl»i$ you under
stood ,'fliey aassent go out o/ sight from
the wagons for fears they-sevcr-would
git back to base. And that’s how come
me to take the job p/.m}ndip all the
Pad- kkffgmfjQfi stock off: wit hi
nothin but Uncle Luke's long whip and
n Chris Weaver tp help me.
Now .iLcoqic ta.44i8K.ibht there .was
ie little uoojly-headod he cow in
WU tiiut clS.V wfilcb was particularly
J Jtan iuuT wi.ssy. umlTie hifglity night
fiestored the life out of me and
Ben Chris. Hajwflqted sonae fodder, be
did. Hu wanted, foifdet jest a Httle bit
worm* than anything else In town, ond
he kept me and Ben Chris so monstrous
bi»sy drivin him away till we couldn't
see no sights at all. Hy-and-by I •told
n Chris to let him ulone till be hid
s head in a pile of fodder when I
Id try and give him sometUng to re-
•nd slipped up behind him vdth
Uncle Luke's long whip ami tried
my leveftfiinbdesW th spIffc-Hftn wide
open with it. But Inst id of Ihg^Uless
gracious, lAvrnn^vhc w hipi/oiUld his
tail A^meit^r und got
And tHere t Vag^n the biggest town
on earth, xyltH pnkCttdof Uncle Luke's
whip lit tny hands, And the other end
tied hard and faai.-tr> a he cow’s tail.
NaturalTy. of course, I didn't have time
to think and-talk pVer the general sit-
ifatloftf htltlfiy mYnd was made up on
the spot. I would hold to the. whip
and follow that infernal he cow all
over town and clean dn back there in
tlie red hills to where tho sun went,
before I would turn loose and give up
the fight ntrd take my chnttces with
the wrath to come.
Well, Bully—if'that want hlsnrimu T
can’t see why—took up a notion nlxmt
that time that hewnngoln somewheres,
and he didn’t have no time to spare.
He give n little snort and one loud bel
low, ami roarhed his back,und me and
him tore out from there, and now, let
me tell yon, Indies and gentlemen, If
there ever was a poor country boy hi nil
this green and wicked old world that
suffered the agonies of death in three
shakes of a sheep’s tail, it was me. I
didn't have no time to think about whnt
would oome of me, and I didn't, give a
continental durn what went with the
he cow. 'Hie mainest thing to my mind
was Uncle Luke’s fine whip, which I
knowed lie Giiought jest a 1-e-e-flc
more of that whip than he did of his
wife, und children. I was sheered- to
pull on it much for fears it mought
slip off at the other end of the staff,
and we would never lay mortal eyes on
It no more henceforward and forever.
Po I thought tp myself l would bettor
try tp climb the stuff, a* It were, till
I eouldgft my hands ou tholentherpart
nud then hang to it like grim death
till somethin froze pver,
•y und give him somrtUng U
lint They ••Toro Out from Thorfi."
But ns. I will before me and Bully
we tore out from there, and I had to
let him work In t-hc lend, whilst I was
hnrnin the >vind ns a high private in
the rear ranks. Man, sir, we went
nerost the square, hittin the high placet!
only, and started up the main street..
But two or three men saw us cc.min
and run out and headed us off. Then
we turned and made another dark
streak nerost the square, and started
off towards the hills) where tho sun
went down.
“Go it, dndburn you, to sunset and
n hotter place than that if you want
to," says I to Bully, “but if somethin
dsn’t break or slip your Marse Ilufus
will lie with you when the even stars
sing together.”
About that time another crowd of
men saw the cloud rksln and run out.
r.nd headed us and turned us Ixick
nerost the square. We then started out
to take the Jackson Trail rond, which
I didn’t know^'wt^erb hi erratkm it
would lend us. right in be
hind Bully—solnetlnwjs nninin like a
quarter horse and sometimes slidin like
a baseball man com in home to bn«e—
tryin my jevel blapidest to gain on hint
enough to slip jny hands up to the
leather ]«rt and save Uncle. Luke’s
whip, And’ivc didn’t take the Jackson
Trail rood neither. Another crowd
headed us off ahd opcst more we tore
up the earth acrost. the square. Then
we took a notldn to try another iouty,
und Bully he fcaorted'.nud pitched out
down the old Stage road towards
Panther Ureek. . . j -
“Now, dud- blame yoqr slab-sided,
razor-back pictures, I hope they will
open the way and turn us out and let
us go," says I to JIully aal spit in one
hand and caught fresh holt on the whip;
"and If I ain’t dead when we git to
Panther Creek I will kill a beef, con-
Ronml you, and save Uncle Luke’s
whip “ } v ’> ; S -
But It Di'Vet hud be&i.wrotc down In
the l>ooks that way. Me und Bully
amongst us had now raised such a
monstrous dust and confivdonment till
the crowd. closcil In around the out
lines of the square and wouldn’t even
let us take tlie old stage road and go
on home to Panther Ureek. They head
ed us off und turned us back at every
street and corner, and whooped and
hollered till I thought in my soul that
Bully would break my neck and tear
himself In two'. If he tried oni*t he
tried ftO times to but our way through
the crowd and leave town, hut the
crowd wouldn’t let us go. It was a
free circus tp thenj town people, you
understand, jvlth me -and Bully in
the ring, afttl fell thdt we could do was to
follow the circle and burn the wind
round and round ami round the square.
Finally at last Bully give a quick,
suddentXinge, tlie wlilp'slipped off of
tlie staff and we two parted. I glided
half way nerost the square on my face
and .the brow band of my breeches, and
w hen I looked back I saw Bully leavin
s black streak. Jn the. other direction,
with Uncle Luke's whip windin and
flyln and curlin and twistin ns It went
• glimmerin through the air.
Bight then I felt like I would roley
lore to die,-though I didn’t quite do
that. But I was already, bruised ami
bunged up'ftnd'tieecTiu and down, bo I

platforms of tho two national parties
in the Inst 20 years we will find thafc, ^
there is not a mA principle which dif
ferentiates them one from another. All
along there has been a differentiated
difference on the tariff isiuc. For the
past f*w yerrs tho bloody shirt, the
war issue, tho 15th amendment-, and
so on, have out'but little figure.' In thfe'
present campaign, as the bnttlfc waxed '
hotter and thicker, wc will hnVb but
the single issue before the pOoplP’of this
country: ShfeU tvc maintain a solid cut-'
reney bottomed on the- gold doll’dt, or
shall we have Idmctallism? '’ '
Some one hnsputit: "ThdbnttlewinJ
lie between thfe monied power ftijd'thV'
voting power.” The free slid 'unlimited

shall carry a&d their pfinitlples prcvufl

declarations that the’dominaUCy ”0f’
free coinage I'lews would precipitate a'
panic and general liquidation, atfdt-hht
the adoption of such a measure, by the -
national congress would be-the worst’
possible thing if'prosperity-be the en
sought by both jiarties.
We all agree upon the fuel that'moncy
Is congested in the centers; that it If A’
want of circulation, that, is the m 1-
lions of idle capital, tl at now iriem ee
tlie conntry. The silver men claim t at”
more money will relieve the congest in -
and start free circulation. • The g >ld
Htundnnl men claim that if a 'man’s -
heart is congested and j e-fuses to throw
the blooil to the extremities it would’
be dangerous to put more-blood in his
veins. Their logic is, that more blood’
means death, and that what the country'
needs now is the remedy that will start
the great commercial heart’s- • action,-
that wlH circulate the money we al
ready have. The freo -silver men claim
that this congestion was produced by
the “monumental crime of 1873”which-
demonetized silver, and that tho-pour
ing of more blood into the commercial
veins will start up the circulation.and,
save the animal “iu extenso.”. ...
Differing as they do, we shall watch
the.conflict between the two great jar--
tics pith on interest which wo h*va

look idly upon this qontqst,,nud .0, .vic
tory for either party wjll menu jmiqhto

Issue is n side issue, mud a secomkny
one, in this fight, however important it
may be. Apd as the portiesaire sp.near
ly together upon all other quvstipns, I,
see no reason why any sensjblp man
could not choose the party he yvoqid
vote with by the platform they an
nounce. I believe one party,to l>p,a9
trustworthy us the other. I believe one
party has broken ns many pledges, and
bought as many votes, npd corrupted
the ballot-box ns much as the other,
though their methods muy i have been
different. Neither party is reliable ui
all, only ns they fear the other party
will bent them at the polls in the com
ing election. We will never again have,
the reign of either party for 30 years
successively. No party pill slay Ini
more than one or two terras until they
will be rousted again. The g. o. p. and
