As fur as I could make out both the trust
and the night-riders was in the wrong. But, you
take 'em one at a time, personal-like, and not into
a gang, and most of them night-riders is good-dis-

I asts George one day what he thought about it.
George, he got mighty serious right off, like he felt

thing by. He was carrying a lot of scraps on a
plate to a hound dog that had a kennel out near
George's cabin, and he walled his eyes right thought-
ful, and scratched his head with the fork he had been
scraping the plate with, but fur a while nothing
come of it. Finally George says:
"I'se 'spec' mah jedgment des about de same
as Marse WILLyum's an' Miss LUCY's. I'se notice
hit mos' ingin'lly am de same."
"That can't be, George," says I, "fur they think
different ways."
"Den if DAT am de case," says George, "dey ain't
NO ONE kin settle hit twell hit settles hitse'f.
"I'se mos' ingin'lly notice a thing DO settle
hitse'f arter a while. Yass, SAH, I'se notice dat!
Long time ago dey was consid'ble gwines-on in
dis hyah county, Marse Daniel. I dunno ef yo'
evah heah 'bout dat o' not, Marse Daniel, but dey
was a wah fit right hyah in dis hyah county.
