few miles from Nov,. Orleans. I
had a great inlay slaves but the
dream Showed me ()lily Len Lam-
ont, Logan, Thompson. 1-111,1er,
01111001 M Wall, 'Purvey,('lark
and last and the niast least Buzz
Stiles. I had a bull whip, known
here as tt black snake, and boy
was 1 an expert. 1 could pick a fly
off Lu aunt's nest' at el It, hat I
never bothered with the fly when
I could hit the nose. They had to
pick Sc) many hounds of cotton
each hour. if they didret they got
7 lashes each. George Baker done
the weighing, Quite a switch for
George as I made him weigh light.
Eventually 1, bad to cut off his
thumbs to keep the weight clown.
These slaves had their sleeping
evarters ar one end of a large
shed, The other end I kept 100
Parch Jersey Hogs. Some People
said I shouldn't do this as it was
unsanitary, However. I can truth-
fully say I never lost a hog. I sold
11140,000 dollars worth of cotton
and it was all clear except for a
few whips and some rice. t fed
my slaves rice and sugar cane.
They could either put the cane on
top of the rice and call it sugar
cane pudding or put rice on top
and call it rice padding. Boy was
I happy. Then the dream faded
and I was at an auction sale. .A
big colored man with rings in his
nose bought all my poor wretches
and was taking them to a can-
nibal island where they would be
fattened up and eaten. I coaldn't
-have Wished. for a better fate than
this for them, My troubles Were
over. No more impudence, no
more insults. I would have enjoy-
ed seeing them swimming in the
pot. Never in my life was I SO
happy.
Nextmorning t went down
town Whistling the Barber of
Seville and the Slue Danube from
Strauss. The minute I walked in
the linteher shop I knew some-
thing was antiss. My favottite
chair had been removed, Out
eomeS Backer and I got the worst
"fitting out" I ever got. It was
almost as bad as Kay gave Ned
Rutledge when he bought the race
horse. Says George, what's the
idea of Writing about Yourself?

you will ever toil us, On and oil
