FLAW PICKER VISITS
OVER IN THE NATION,
A Change of Diet Generally
Helps a Tellow.
THE SCRIPTURE DROPPED
If Vou'reNot Walking .lust You Are
Liable to Get a Kiloek in the Head with
the Natural Old llible Itnelf Next Time, So
Says Flaw Ticker.
{Correspondence of The Ledger.)
Coalin’ Groi:ni>, April 2nd.—My
friends an’ fellow citizens: Hit won’t
do to laugii all the time, nor cry ail
the time, nor cuss alt the time. “A
change of diet most ingenerally helps
a fellow once in a while,” said the
fellow when he was a biddin’ of the
jailer good bye, so I’ll drop the scrip
ture this time, but look out. If you’re
not walkin’ just right you’re liable
to get a knock in the head with the
natural ole Bible itself next time.
T’other day the parson says, says
be, “Flaw, suppose we take a trip
down to ‘The Nation’. 1 am anxious :
for you to git acquainted with some]
of the people over there. I know
you’d enjoy it,”
I consented an’ soon we were over
there. The parson said, “Flaw, here
J’ll show you some of our genuine
natives. Yonder’s a house. I’ll
call the man out an’ you conflab with
him.”
“Hello! ’ called the parson.
“Coinin’!” said the man, puttin’ a
child in the door an’ cornin’ up.
“How’s all the folk??” I ventured
to ask.
“Children’s hearty ; wife’s not well.
Ain’t what you might call bedsick
but just sorter stretchy.”
“Got anything to eat in the house?”
asked the parson
“Ef I had it anywheres I’d have it
in the house.”
“How many children have you?”
1 asked.
“Many as I want.” said he.
“How many did you want?” I
asked.
“Weren’t hankerin’ after a whole
pastel, but I’m satisfied ”
“How long have you been livin’
here?”
‘ Too long,” he said.
“How many years?”
‘ Bin here eversince my oldest boy
was born ”
“What year was he born?” I ask
ed through curiosity.
“The year I come here,” he said.
“How old is your boy?”
“fif he had a lived he would a bin
the oldest until yit; but be died.
Jim’s the oldest.”
“How old is Jim?”
“He ain’t as old as the one what
died.”
“Whatd) you do here for a liv
in’?”
“Eat.”
“How do you git anything to eat?”
“The best waf we can.”
“How do you spend your Sun
days?” asked the parson.
“Like the week days.”
“How do you spend them?” con
tinued the parson with his interroga-
tionments
“Like Sunday.”
“Is that your daughter yonder?”
I axed as I saw a female woman a
standin’ in the door.
“No, air; she ain’t my daughter
yonder, nor no wherea else.”
“la ahe a relative of yours?”
“No, air; no kin.”
“Kin to your wife, I auppoae.”
“No kin to my wife, but ahe’a kin
to mv children.”
“How do you make that out?”
“She'a my wife.”
"How far la it to the next house?”
I asked, wantin’ to find some excuse
to drive off.
“It’a called three miles, but the
man what calls it that ia a liar.”
“Drive on, parson.” said I. “I’d
aa live try to git a phrase of latin
out of a Billy goat as to try to git
information from this man.”
“Flaw,” SAld the parson after we
had driv off, “You meby mought
think that this is a tough country,
but hit’s not by a whole jugfull A
bigger hearted set of people I don’t,
know anywheres. They’ll visit you
when you’re sick, feed you when
you’re hungry, go down in their
flanks an’ help you when you can’t
help yourself an’ they’ll cuss you or
kill you when you need it They
have a way of talkin’ with their
mouthes shut so to speak, that is,
they will oonfiab with you on any
subject, but you can bet your bottom
dollar that you don’t git anything
oat of them that they don’t want
you to know. An’ Flaw, they haint
got out of the habit of wearin’ fac
tory shirts an’ jeans britches over
here yet; they just put mein mind
of good old times, way back yander
in my boyhood days. They’re about
a generation behind the times, but
you’ll agree with me that they’re
better olf by it. Tney make their
own hog an’ hominy, chew their
own homemade tobacker, drink their
own corn an’ attend to their own
business.” Flaw Pickek.

closely connected with its origin was
the late Dr. J L. M. Curry, agent of
the Peabody and Slater Boards, mem
ber of the Geteral Education Board,
and supervising director of the South
ern Education Board. Indeed both
the Southern and General Boards
may be said to owe their existence
and inspiration to the Conference for
Education in the South, just as this
Conference so largely owed its own
inception to the work of Dr. Curry.

tion from a number of reprise ative

Chamber of Commerce, the Governor
of Virginia, the Legislature, the
State Department of Education, the
University of Virginia, Washington
and Lee University, and many other
representative institutions of the com
monwealth

gamzalion in Richmond on the after
noon of April 221, in the Academy of 1
Music, on Eighth street, between
Grace and Franklin streits. The for
mal opening will occur on the evening
of the 22d, at vhich time the Hon.
A. J. Montague, Governor of Vir
ginia, wiii deliver the address of wel
come, and Mr. Robert O. Ogden will

president.
The interest of the program will
continue until its close on the even
ing of the 24th. Represenative edu
cators, statesmen, men of letters and
men of uffdirs will be present from
every section of the country. Much
importance will be given to such sub
jects as agricultural and technical
education, and ther« will be oppor-
tunny for informal discussion of such
topics as the consolidation of schools
and the improvement cf public
schoolbouses and school surround
ings. Tne Conference has always
h*-en especially interested in the
problems connected with the rural
school.

meeting are in the hands of the

Two Honest Colored Men.
On Saturrluy 28th ult. Mr. C. A.
Burgess, of Grassy Pond, started to
town after a load of guano and on
the way he stopped in the road with
Will Petty and Geo. Camp colored, to
change some money for them after
he had left them' he lost his pocket
book which contained $90 in tnomev
anc $295 worth of notes. He did not
miss his pocket book until after ne
had come to town ard got his guano
arnl started home and got about two
miles from town. Ho went home amt
Sunday morning came back in search
of it, but did not find it Fortunate
ly these two negroes he had stopped
in the roa ! with when on his way to
town, found the pocket book, but did
not know wno it belonged to. They
decided to carry it to their home and
keep it until they could find out who
it belonged to. After getting home
and examining the notes and seeing
who the owner was they brought i. ti
him. If all the colored people were
as honest as Will and George South
Carolina would be much better off.
