C., OF KONTOOMERY, ALA. lu the snotl oM limes, when “ w hite men did the votintr,” anti SlierifTs were elected by the people, there lived in Pickens County, Alabama, a big henr ied fellow named Jess. Bryan, who was Sheriff of that County i t 1849-50 ; elected over B. G. McAllister, the next popularest man,, in Pickens. Jess, owed his election, in a grpat de gree. to his inimitable .manner oftelling stories, one of which we will now give aromising that very much of the inter est of the story consists in Ills rich and racy style of telling it. But before telling th,e they as told by Jesse, we will tel! one on him, for the ■ t if ... truth of which, a hundred living men in Pickens will vouch. V V, ■ Duringr th3 canvass for the Sheriffal iy in 1849, Bryan and McAllister, the contending candidates, were both dep uties of the then Sheriff, the late YV, 11. Davis, Each was a first.rate dep uty, and each strove, by strict and prompt attention to business, to prove to the voters that the mantle of Mr. Davis should fall on his shoulders. At the Spring 'Perm, 1849, of the Circuit Court, tlie last term before tlie ! election, the Hon. Samuel Chapman. | presided as Judge. When the dinner hour arrived on the first day of the ! Court, he directed the Sheriff to ad- I jotirn the Court until three o’clock e. M. Here was a chance for Jesse. Bor rowing a watch from a friend, lie took his scat at the window next to the bo ol, at half-past two, watch in hand. Precisely at three p. m. , Jesse, in dating his lungs to their utmost capne ty, cried at the full extent of his sono rous voice:— The lion Samuel Clap man IT nv. IIoN. Samuel Chapman ! ! THE IIQiVf. SAMUEL CHAPMAN!! Come into COURT ! ! ! The crowd at once repaired to tire Court House, and after some minutes the Judge, the bench, tlie Sheriff and all his deputies being present, Willi his most affable smile, the Judge said; “Mr. Sheriff, who called me at the win dow just now V \ Jesse, anticipating a complimoo. from the Judge for his promptness, stepped to the front with all the iirace of Pro fessor McDonald, at his Friday even ing soirees— “l called you. Judge, I, Jesse W. Bryan, Deputy Sheriff.” “WeM, Mr* Jesse W. Bryan Deputy Sheriff,” replied the Judge, ‘-bear this in mind, if you ever call me into Court again, while I am presiding as Judge, to jail you go.” Jesse was crest fallen. Like Jonah’s gourd he wilted, but soon recovering, lie replied: “J.ndge, it is true 1 called you, but that fool McAllister told me to do so, and :1S he is tlie oiliest deputy 1 had to obey him.” r J’his incident made Jesse a huudred votes. But to our story. It was during the canvass, at a bar becue on Nubbin Ridge ; the dinner was over, and the crowd smoking their pipFs under the shade trees ; the can didates had all spoken ; it was too eaily and too hot to start home, and hv acclamation Jesse was called on for a story. “Mfell, boys,” said Jesse, *!so»ne years ago, before the good people nf Pickens had resolved to elect ine Sher iff, I was in Mobile. Qne day l saw a crowd moving out to Grange Grove ; 1 joined it, and learned that a match fight was about to come off between Jim Rurguss’ bull dog and a tame bear, fur five hund.ret^ dollars a side, one hundred forfeit. . “As soon as the ring was formed, lire dog was turned loose at the bear, and after one round you’d belter be lieve he stayed loose; no sort of talk could make him clinch again, so Bur gass paid ToTm l and drew off his dog. “Just as the crowd was about »<*< re turn, a tall, raw boned native from Chiekasahay, who was the owner of a big, bony, stump tailed cur dog. and nothing else, sung out: ‘l’ll be denied if Cash* can’t taTte lhat bar.’ “What will you bet on thai?” said the owner of tlie bear. “I’ll go mV pile,” said raw bones, j and drawing out oi his pouch the loot; of an old "stocking, he shelled out liven - J tv silver dollars. The bear man cov ered the twenty, nnd toe ring was again . lm med. "Now.gentlemen,” shouted Clii< ka sahay, *1 wish it oiidersiood -.is how nobody goes inter this ring hut me and i Cash, and the bar, and nobody ain’t got to speak nor touch but me,” This was agreed to, and the bear being muzzled, the word was given. ‘Jjook out. Cash ! Mind ycr eyes ! Watch him'Cash !* cried Cash's master as Cash, with a prudent regard for his own welfare, kept at a respectful dis tance, his bristies standing up like the teeth of a harrow. As soon as Cash had taken a Position a little to the rear of his foe, and out of the reacli of his paws, his master yelled ‘take him Cash With one bound Cash seized tl<e poor brute h)* the root of Lis ear, keeping his body side by side with the bear, so lhat the latter could not possibly bite or strike him. •Keep outer this ring, gentlemen.— Bring him here, Cash by main force dragged the enemy around, the ring, without once exposing himsell to the furious llo\vs which were wasted on ilu* nil*. . ‘Shake him. Casht* Again the bravr dog shook his foe until the bear’s teeth fairly chattered with pain and rage.— Still Cash, by keeping yard arm and yard arm with the bear, was safe and free from a scratch, Tlie owner of tlie bear, seeing that the hear could not bring his arms to bear, could not hear to see Cash hear the hear to his bier in such a barefaced manner, so lie threw up the sponge, and gave up the day. ‘You guv* it up!’ says our man.— •Well, then, gentlemen, clear the ring. Cash leaves peart when lie do leave. Hold him, Cash! You say it’s my money, no discounts r.o nothing.— Watch your time Cash! Now, sir— let go Cash P Wiih ore spring Cash was ten feet bevourd reach of the bear’s paws. ‘That’S a right pearl bar,’said Chick asahay, ‘but lie ain’t nigh such a one as me and Cash Iras ink. We got one this fall as measured nine feet from siiout to tail tip.’ “That's a lie !’ said the discomfited owner of the bear, ‘you never saw a bear that large in your life.’ ‘I haint?
