How he Cured his Slaves of La
fehiesA.
It is well known limit Mr. Han*
dolph owned more than three hun
dred slaves and was jpXcnediYigly
lenient to them; ho won’d not allow
his overseer# tv treat them with any
degree ol harshness’, they were eye
servants and would only work when
closely watched, or when Mh. Ran
dolph w%s at hot pc from their love of
him and fear of his anger. Once
when public duties kept him from
home tor severs,! yewiv. his ttegroes
became idle and worthless, and not
half crops were raised, and earls and
wagons and nil the farming tttcmAln
were left in the field, and without
shelter went to ruin; the fences were
down or dilapidated, and tho cattle
and stock of every kind wofe Vouch
crippled up by the negroes in the ef
forts to chase them out of the fields.
More than halF the negroes were
“playing possum that is pretended
to be sick in order to avoid work.
While things were in this Condition
Mr. Randolph came homo from
Washington to spend the Christmas
holidays. Looking over his planta
tion accounts with his overseer, he
discovered that his plaution was not
only not self sustaining, but actually
bringing him in debt. Alter a thor
ough examination of everything On
the plantation he saw at once what
was the matter, artd that his rigid in
structions to his overseers to ho len*
tent to the negroes 1a 1 bpon the
Cause of the trouble, and they u ould
no‘t work unit ss under fear of pun
ishment and ho determined upon a
plan for correction. The slaves in
Old Virginia, and all tho South,
had a Week’s holiday from Christmas
to New Year, and these days were
days of general jubilee and jolifica
tion. Egg-nog was kept at the house
or mansion for everbody and all
hands $ (here was a terrible slaugh
ter among the tiegroe’s pet pigs and
fat poultry, and many a possum,
caught weeks “before and fattened in
barrels, and “etyms” smoked in the
big cabin chimney, were served up
with poundcake, puddings, chicken
pie, “ store tea,” and locust and per*
simmon beer at the holiday feasts
night and day. It was then that
the fiddle, the banjo, the tamborine
and the Clevis and the clevispin kept
up a perpetual music for the never
censing dance. Mr. Randolph waited
for the termination of these Christ
inas holidays, aml promptly on the
Ist of January ho ordered the over
seer to hove all the farming utensils
brou|fht*to tho barnyard. It took
all day to search for them and to get
thcmiwgvtbß* from wlmre they had
tiecn dVi in tlio fields far .and
neat*. The next morning there was a
grandlispection of ploughs, harrows,
hoes find rakes, and all that wire
broken or seriously injured were
thrown into a pile. Mr. Randolph
then said,An his shrill voice:
“Set them on fire, Mr, Chumley,
and burn them up.” The overseer
remonstrated urged that many of
them fnight he repaired.
“No, sir! No, sir! I want them

.tcr tl lie inspection the next mornieg,
a bonfire was made xif !! tiioso re
jected, nnd immi'dinto orders issued
to hnvo all tho sheep, goals mid tmgs
gathered iogotber. Oh the ensuing
morning theso w®i'£ bispeeted, and
many wero fed do wiih ago and want
of food; others were crippled and in
jured, and all such, in spito of the
ovcrseci’s pleading, were romorstdy
knocked in lire head and buried. All i
the horses, tnules and horned stock
were brought rtp lot itoc fourth day,
and tiiider Mr. Randolph's rigid in
spection many wele declared wortli-
Vfdss ) and, tbongh Mr. Cltumlcy beg
ged that some of them might Iw
stfiared, as they could be pA’t 'to good
use, Mr. Randolph was unrelenting,
and All the condemned, including the
blind, lame, spavined, fistulated and
wind-broken, wore mercilessly shot
and buried. As the Weather had
been quite eo’d during these days of
itiftpWlioUy many of the negToOA, And
especially the old, had continued to
“play possum," and had never turned
out of their cabins to aid in getting
tijgethcr the live stock or farming
utensils. Mr. Randolph now gave
orders that a'l the negroes, old and
yotmg, should lie brought to the
house ttext day for inspection, and in
tho meantime lie nad a good many
plain coffins of all sifces made, and
suitable graves dug near the chapel.
The news of these fearful prepara
tions soon penetrated every cabin,
and things began to look serious in
tire minds of Mr, Cuffoe Black. The
negroes knew that Mr. Randolph was
a member of Congress and a big man
in the country; they knew he was ac
customed to havo his way, and nobody
attempted to inlolTcre with him, and
they fully belived that lie had full
power of life and death oVcr them.
They knew he was a good, kind mas
ter, man and neighbor; but then,
they said, he bad “such quarc ways”
that there was no tolling what he
would do if the uotiou took him.
They bad seen how he had burned
all the damaged farm implements
atid caused the injured and worth
less sheep, gouts end horses to be
knocked on the head; aVnl how he
had shot all the old broken down
stock without pity', find now what
did lie mean to do with them and
with all those coffins and graves!
This was exactly the train of reflec
tion and comment that Mr. Randolph
had calculated upon; and accordingly,
on his arrival on the ground, he found
an anxious, terrified crowd of negroes
and not one was missing—all were
there. lie entered and took his seat
besido the overseer at a table. Juba,
his servant, placed on the table be
fore him liix dueling ease open and
containg pistols and plenty of ammu
nition,
“ And they are all here I’’ aeked
Mr. Randolph of the overseer.
Up spoke a hundred voices, “ Oh,
yes, Murst John, wo’s all here.”
Cliltmley was ordered to call the
list containing the names Of all those
who had been old enough to work
during one year, but had not worked
They were placed in a row, in which
stood more than half the grown ne
groes. The old shirks and sinners
were not slow to see how. the list
had been made up, and long before
the roll call was ended many of them
were on their knees, beseechingly
looking from the stern face of their
master toward tho pistols and the
open graves and many a “Lord-a
mercy on me, Murst John,” went up
from the line, but Randolph ordered
them to be silent.
When the last had been called, he
squeaked out, “You say Chumley,
there Diggers wont work ; that they
a e old, worthless and good lor noth
ing; that they cannot make enough to
eat, and I must buy bread and meat
to feed them.”
Handing Gbumley, a pair of pis
tols, he said:
“Chumley, begin at the other end
of the line and I’ll begin at this, and
ive”l shoot these worthless negroes.”
A universal cry went up, and all
the negroes hushed tip to Randolph
and hetrged in the most pitiful terms
for their lives, all declaring that they
could work, and that they would
never play ’possum and lie up agin.
Randoli h finally relented and 3grei and
;o spare them, provided they could
give fibeuriiy ainob g tho other no
gWeS that would work well in the
future. Ko duo coilld have effected
! tdtfeli n genuine scare as Randolph
' did. Tiro negroifi kmlW ttvH bit was

w holo people of Chailotte a'l but
worshipped him; and, they believed
implicitly that be would do whnl be
said he would do. He did not allow

“It don’t, don't it ? Well, T gunss I
I’m on tho w rong ear,”
“ Yes, tako the next one,” snapped
the conductor, as he pushed him off
the platform.
“Well, go on with your darned

the gutter, and with the aid ol an
awning post, managed to fiud his

A Vine street car stopped opposite, 1
