HOt; WE TOOK IN SUMMER 1 BOABDERS. ! ' 1 1 Last summer, as the days grew hot, Josiuli grew fearfully cros8. And his worst spells would come on him, as he would come from Jonesville. 1 Ydxt see. an old friend of his'n, Jake I Mandogood by nana, was a takln; In boarders, and makiu7 money by them, and I s'pose, from what I learned afterwards,, that he kep a throWin them boarders into Josiah's face, fend say in' if it wuzn't for his I wife, I lie could ; make jest j as much :raoeri ; Jake Mandagood had heerd me talk tn the subject time and agin. For thy feelings about summer board ers, ahcl (akin of 'era in, had always j been oast jron. I wouldn't take 'em in, I iad allers said. : Josiah, liku other pardners of Ins sect, is very fond of havin hings his own tray ; and he is also very fond of j makiu' money and I s'pose j that was j whatfmade him so fearfully cross U ! me jButl was skairt mos t(M3eath; seein him come home lookin' so mau- ger, and Grosser than any bear out of a circus. , j- i . Thinks I to myself 1 'Mebby, he is enjoyln' poor health.' And then ; thinks I: 'Mebby he lis bickslidin', or mebby .Iie is backslid L And one day, I Bays to him; says I ; Josiah Allen, what! is t ic ! matter withou? Yoii; don't act like the same;rman you did several weeks ago. I am goin to steep you up nip, and thoroughwort, and some cat see if it won't, make you feel better, and some boneset.' ; . - J M pn't want none1 of yo lr boneset and catnep', says he, impatient-like ihenays I, in -still more anxiolis tones, 'if it 'tain't your health that iVa sufferin,' is it yur morals? Vo they feel totterin' Josiah ? TelH yur plrdner1 ' ', . 'Myraorals feel all jrlght -Say i.I anxiously : 'Ifyu r hainten- joymg poor health, Jpsiah aud yur moral! feel firm, why is there such a uuange in yur mean I says I. Yur meanjlou't seem no 1 more like the mean it used to be, than if it beloiig- I ed to Inother man.' ; , iiutj instead of answenu; my affec tionate arguments, he jumped'up, and started for the barn. And, qh! how fearfully! fearfully cross lie wuz, for the next seyeraldays. Finally, at the breakfast table, one morning, I says to him, inj tones that ' - . V? . ! would be replied to : ' : 'Josjah All en , you are carrying ; something on yur mind.' And says :ijf finely: Vur mind hatu't stronff enough to carry it. You must and shall let ynr pardner help you 1' J. Seeih' I wuz immoveably sot onto me aeierminaiion 10 maue mm x.eii, ----- - - ' ! j ' he up and told met all about it. Sajs he : 'Summer boarders is what ails me: I want to take 'em in : ' And then he went on to tell how awfully he wuz a iankerin' after 'em. Now, he knew, piles and piles of money wus to be made of it and what awful pretty business it wus, too. Nothin' but fun. to take 'em in 1 Any body could take sights and sights of comfort with 'emj Ue said Manda good said so.-And it was so dreadful profitable, Uof Jltnd ie up and tojd mthatMandogpod ns,Ailjbvwip him all the time, that,j if it ivusn't for me, he could make jest as much mon ey as he chose. ; f j . " .- Mandagood knew well how I felt on the subjecL He khew well Ijwus principled, against it, and sot. I don't like Mandagood. Ho niisuses his wife in the wurst way. Works j her down almost to skin and bone. They don't live happy together at all. He is always envious of anybody 'that lives pleasant and agreeable with their pardners, and loves to break it up. And I shall always believe that it wus one great reason iwhy he twjtted Josiah so. .And, for j Mandagood to keep at him all the time, and throw them" boarders in his j face, it aint no wonder to me that Josiah felt hurt. Josiah went on, from half to three quarters of an Jiour, a plead in' with me, and a bringin' up arumeols, to prove out what a beautiful business it wus, and hownwful: happily inland finally, says he, witlra sad and melan choly look : 1 J 'I don't want to say a word to turn yur mind, Samantha j.but, I will say this, that the idee "that I can'i take boarders in, is a wearin' on me; it is a wearin' on me so that I don't know but it will wear me completely out.' I didn't say nothin'; but I felt stranger and curious. ; I knew that companion wus a man of small heft I knew it wouldn't take near so much to wear him out as it would a heftier a man and the agony that I see printed on his eyebrows, seemed to pierce clear to my very heart. But, I didn't say nothin. -- I see how fearful! he wus a suffer in'and my aSectioni for that man. is like an oxes, as has1 often been re marked. ! ! ; , And, oh 1 what a wild commotion began to go on insidfi of me, between my principles and affections. j As I have- remarked and said, I wus principled againsttakiu' summer boarders. I had seen 'em took in. time and timn again and seen the ef fects of it. As I had said, audi said it camly, that boarders' wus a moth. X had said and I had weighed my words (as it were), as I said it that when a woman done her own house work, it wus all she ort to do, to take care of her own men: folks, and house and housen-stuff. And hired girls,, I wus immovably sot against, from my birth. Home seemed to me to be a peaces ful haven, jest large baris, my bark and enough forj two Josiah's bark.- And when- foreign schooners, (to fol- low up my timely)! sailed inj generally proved ! in the end they to be ships of war, pirate fleets, steeliu'j hap- iness and case, and runnin' up the death's head of our lost joyat the masthead. But, I am a eppispdin'; and a wan- derin' pff into fields; of poesy ; and to resume, and go on. j Any female wo- man who has got a .beloved pardner, and also a heart inside of her; breast bones. nows how the conflict ended. I yielded and give in. And that ve ry day, Josiah weni and engaged 'em. He had heetd ofl'era from Manda good. They were boarders that -Man dagood had had,; the summer before, and they had applied to him for board agin ; but, he told Josiah, that he would give 'em up to him ; he said he wouldn't be selfish and on-neigh borly, he would give 'em up 'Why said Josiah, as he was a tel- lin' it over to me, 'Mandagood acted fairly, and wus tickled at the I idee of given 'era tip to me1. - There hain't a selfish hair in Jake Mandagood s hair Bui a .liail. - i 6 I thought it looked : kinder queer, 4 to-thiuk tljat Mandagood should act so. awful willin'; to give them board ers np to Josiah and j me, knowin, as I did, that he was as selfish as the common run of mcn if not sel fisher. Bnt,"I didn't tell my thoughts; No, I didn't say a wprd. j Neither did -1 say a word when . he said there wus four. children in thejfamilyrthat wus a comin'. No, I held firm, fhejob wus undertodk by me for the savin' of my pardner. I had undertook it in a martyr way, almost John Roger's way, and I wusn't gbin' to spile the job by murmurin's and complainin's. "But, eh ! how animated Josiah Al leu wus that day after he had. come back from encragin' of 'em. His an- petite all-came backlpbwerfully, !HeJ eat a fearful dinner.'! His restlessness and "oneasyness, had (disappeared j and his affectionate demeanor all returned. He would ha.ve acted spoony if he had had so much as a cru mb of encourage ment from me. But I didn't encour age him. There wtjs a loftiness and majesty in my means, Realised by my principles), that almost awed him.s I looked first rate, and acted so. Aud, Josiah Allen, as I have said, how hilarious he wus. He wus goin' to make so much money by 'era. Says he, 'Besides tie happiness we shall enjoy with em. the almost per- i ' x t 1 . . 1 1 f 1 1 1 i iect diss, jest ininK 01 lour dollars apiece for the children.' " .Lerame see says he, dreamily. 'Twice four is eight, and no orts (o carry, four times two is eight, and eight is sixteen sixteen dollars a week 1 Why, Samantha', says he, 'that will support us, hain't no need of our ever liftih our fingers agin, if we can only keep them with us, always.' 'Who is goin' to dook and wait on era?' says j I, almost coldly. Not real cold, but sort o' cool ish-1 ike. For hain't one, when -ji tacle a cross, to go carryin along jgroanin' and cry in' out loud, all thej way. No, if I can't carry it along,! without makiu' too much fuss, I'll drop it and tacle another one. So. as I say. mv tone wusn't frigid ; but sort o' cool-like. Who'll wait on 'em ?' says I. 'Get a girl, get two girls,' says Jo siah, says he : 'Think. of sixteen dol lars a week; You cau keep a variety of hired girls, you can, on that. Be sides the pure happiness we are goin' to enjoy with 'em, we can have any thing we want. . Thank fortune, Sa mantha, we have now got a compe tency. 'Wal,' says I, in the same coolish tones, or pretty nigh the same, 'time will tell.' : - I Wal, they come on a Friday mor- nin', on the five o'clock train. Josi ah had to meet 'em jto the depot, and he felt so afraid that he should miss 'em, and somebody else would under? mind him, and get 'em as boarders, that he Wus up aqut three o'clock, and went out and milked by candle light, so's to be sure to be there in season. ! And I had to get up and cook his breakfast before daylight, feel in' life ajbol, too, for he had kept awake all night, a-most, a-walkia' 'round the house,- a-looin' at the clocit. to see what time it wus; and. if he said to me once he said thirty times duriu' the night. - ' 'It would be jest my luc, to have some body -get iu ahead of me to the cars and undermind me at the last minute, and get 'em away from us.' Says I, in a dry tone not so dry as I had used sometimes, but dryish : 'I guess there won't be no danger, Wal, at about a quarter to seven, he driv' up with a tall, waspish lookin' woman anl four -children ; the man, they said,wouldu't be there till Saturday night. I thought the woman had a singular I00Z; to her ; I thought so when I first sot my eyes on her. And the .oldest boy about thirteenears old,he looked awAil curious. I thought, to myself, as they walked up to the liouse, side by side that I never in my hull life, seed a waspisher and more spindliner look in' woman, and a curiouser. stranger lookin boy; The three children that come along behind jj'eni . seemed to be pretty 'much of a; size, and looked healthy, and full of a witchcraft,' as we found ' afterwards, they indeed wus.""-: . I- - . Wal, II had a hard tussle of it through - the day,to cook for 'em. Their apjpeties wus tremendous, 'spe cial lyvtbt woman am They wuzn'thealtby appetites, I could see lhat in!a" Lrainute heir eyes Would lookj i holler-and hungry and they" 1 would look voraciously at the empty,; jdeep dishes and r tureens after, they had eat 'inal-; emptyeat enough for ; four men. fe v y ' Why, it did beat alH Josiab look ed at me. in silent vOnder and dis-r may, as he sees the vittlcs disappear befor that -. woman and boy. ' The t - -... ... .. . . x . -... . . . other three (children eat about as com mon healthy children do; about twice what j Josiah and imedid. But there wuzn't nothin' mysterious about 'em. But, thai woman and BTir that' was the biggest boy's name they made me feel curious; curiouser than I had ever folt. For. truly, I thought to mj'self, if their legs and arras hain't holler, how do they hold it? It wus, to me, a new and interest in' spectacle, to be studied over, and philospohized upon ; but, tu Josiah, it wus a canker, as I see the very first meal. I could see, by the looks of his face, that them two appetites of theiru was 'sumthin' he hadn't reck-! oned, and calculated on ; and I could! see, plain, bavin' watched the chances; of my com pan ion's face, as clese as astronetpers watch the moon, I could; see them two appetites of theiru wus! a wariu'ion him. Wal, I thought niebby they'er kinder; starved out, comin' right from a city board in house, and a few of inyj good meals would quell 'em down.! But, no; instead of growin' lighter them two appetites of therin seemed, if possible, to grow consumer and; 1 1 cousnmer, though I cooked lavish and! profuse, as T always did. They de-j voured everything before 'em, and looked hungry at the plates and table cloth. j And I Josiah looked on in porfectj agy I kneAV. (He is very close.)! But, he ! dind't say nothin'. And it seemed so awfully mysterious to me that I would get perfectly -lost, anc by the side of myself, a-reasoniu' and! philosophiziu' on it, whether theirj legs wus holler, how could tliey walk- 'round 'on 'em ; and if. they wuzn't; holler, where the vitttes went to. j 'Willj they never stop eaten?' said Josiah, and he cot madder,e very day He vowed he would charge extra. It wus after we went to bed, thai he said this. But I told him to talk ; ( low ; for her room was just over ours and says I, in a low but firm axent: 'Don't you do no such a thing, Jo siah Allen. Do you realize . how i would look. What a sound it wouli make in community ? You agreed to take 'em for four dollars and they'd call it mean.' 'Wal;!' lie hollered out. 'Do you s'pose I, am goin' to board people for nothin' ? I took men. and wimmin and children to board. I didn't agree to board f elephants and rhinoceroses and hippotamuses and whales and seaserpents. And I won't neither, un less I have my pay for it ; it wuzn in the bill. 'Do you keep still, Josiah Allen,' I whispered. 'She'll hear you callin her a sea-serpent.' 'Let her hear me. I say, again, it wuzn't in the bill.' He hollered this out louder than ever, I 'spose he meant it ' wuzn't in the bargain; but he was nearly delirious. He is clos4 T nan,t denv it i'npiirlv tlaht. ---j j j j But, jest at that minute, before PL I could) say a word, we heard an awj ful noise, right over our heads. It sounded as if the hull roof had fell in. Says Josiah, leaping out of bedj 'The cliirabley has fell in.'. 'No I' says I, folleriu' hinr; 'it the roof.' And we both started up staire on run. ' I sent him back from the head of the stairs, howsomever: Tor iii tli awful fright, he hadn't realized his condition, and wuzn't dressed. waited j lor him, at the top of tli stairwry ; I dassent go in. He hur ried his clothes, and went i on ahead, V i ' ! ' - i - ' 1 and there she lay ; there Miss Dapks wus fit. . on -i 1 the floor, iu a ; historical Josiati, thinking she was dead,' ran in and ketched her up, and went put her, on the bed ; and she, just as they will iu historicl, clawed right in to his hair, and tore out most all he had on the nigh side. Then she struck him a 'fearful blow on the off eyemade it black and blue for a week. She didn't know what she was about. She wuzn't to blame, though the hair wus a great loss to him, and and I won'Meny it Wal, We stood over her most all night, to keep the breath of life in her. Atij.the oldest I boy beiu' skairt; it brought on some fits he was in the habit of bavin', a sort of fallin' fits. He'd fall any where; he fell onto Josiah twice that night almost " knocked him down: he wus awful large to 'his age. ; Dredful big and fot. It stems as if there was sumthin' wrong about his heft, it wus so uncommon hefty, 'for a boy of r his age. He looked bloated; His eyes, which was a pale blue, seemed to be kinder sot back into his head, and his cheeks stood out below, somethin' like baloons. And his month wus kinder open a good deal of the time, as if it was hard worlf lor mm to breathe. He breathed thick and wheezy, dread ful oncom for table. His complexion wus bad too ; sallow, and sort o' tal lery lookin'.' He acted dredful lazy, and heavy at the best of times, and in them fits, he seemed to be as heavy as l&d. 'Wal, that was the third night af ter they got there ; and from that night, as long as they staid, she had the historicks, frequent and violent. Bill had his fallin' fits, and you wouldn't believe, unless you see, how many things that boy broke, in fall in' on 'em in them fits. It beat all how unfortunate he wus. They al ways come onto him unexpected, and it seemed as if they always come onto him while. wus in front of sumthin' to smash all to bits. I can't begin to tell you how many things he destroyed, jest by them fits; finally I says to Josiah, one day, says I : 'Did you ever see, Josiah Allen, anybody so unlucky as that boy is in his fits : seems as if he'll break every thing in the house, if it goes on.' Says he : 'It's a pity he don't break his cussed neck I don't know as I wus ever more tried -with Josiah Allen than I wus then, or ever give him a firmer, elo- quenttr lecture against swearin'. But, in my heart I couldn't help pityin' him, for I knew Bill had just fell on to seme tomato-plants, of a extry kind, that Josiah had bought at great expense, and sot out, and broke 'em off short. And it was only the day before that Ire fell as he was looking at the colt. It was only a week old but was an uncommon nice one, and Josiah thought his eyes of it; and Bill wus admirin' of it; there wuzn't nothin' ugly about him ; but, a fit come on and he fell right onto the colt, and the colt not expectin' of it, and -being entirely unprepared, fell flat down, and the boy on it. And the colt jest lived, that is all. Josiah says it never would be wort 11 any thing ; he thinks it broke- 4untbiu' inside. , But I must finish, at another time. I've told how-we took in I boarders. You begin to see, perhaps, that they 'took Us in.' THE BIG RAILROAD SUIT, TO THE PEOPLE OF NORTH CAROLINA.? ? One Thomas D. Carter has filed ft coin plaiut iu a suit began in the Federal Court at Greensboro seeking to establish the ownership of the Western North Caroli na Railroad in which complaint he alleges all mauuer of fraud, collusion and wrong doiucr. from the execution of the niort gage iu 1870, to its foreclesure aud sale of the road to the State in J875. As he had made ine a party defendant, aloDg with thirty-throe other persons auu cor porations, notwithstanding lie had pro cured a synopsis of his slaudcrous charges to be published in two, newspapers, maintained silence, content to answer him before the tribuual he had choseu. But. not satisfied with the effect of this Droceedimr. he seeks now to farther his uaruoscs by an address 'to the public," in. panjpiiiec iorm, wmcu is a reuusu ui his coraplaiut with more slander and thrcaU and while throwing out hi vile charges aud insinuations against many gentle men of known probity, he is especially slanderous and scurrilous as to myself. It is such a peculiar way to conduct a lawsuit that he feels it necessary to apol ogize in the-outset by pretending that there are "influences" at work against him, which are to be counteracted, 1 sup pose by the threats made in the latter part of his "address." lie aims to pro voke notice and a paper warfare, m which j he so much delights. .If I were willing to ignore this man and his efforts so far as they might af- ' feet ine personnally, I cannot be silent when such effort is intended to injure the -vtnhli iiitoroaf:. In niilpr to 1:mlHr the State's title to the railroad he must slan- der me and others. Thia bold bad man is tmart whether be "looks wise or not. plish his ends. 5 Conscious of the disad vantage any decent man labors nmlor .fn a conflict with such a character, I am im- pcueu dj a sense or duty to myself and the public alike to ask the indulgeuee of that public to make a brief statement in feply to the charges referred toj f I legislature in March 1871, hear ing the condition of theRond and its debt, passed an Act to remove the then Board of Directors and appoint another. This new Board placed me in charse of the company's affairs with instructions to se cure the . renewal of . the York for which the mortgage bonds had been hypothicaced as security, with such extension of time as would prevent a sale of the bonds before the next General As sembly COUld know the nosition of nffciira and had opportunity te arrange for, the uiwecuoa ei tut property This I- sac ceeded in doing by puyment ef the usury in the contract as -oricinali endoning the notes ittdividuallu. The'min- uico ui. uie uireccory iovr tuat the Board were kept fully informed. An ex traordinary meeting of trie Stockholders was called and a reoort of affair mail t. them." A Committee of i the Direntnrv waited upon the General Assembly, with printed memorials. informW that bud v f tlie peril, and beseeching relief. The an swer was, 4iThe State will do no more. If any party will take the road and fiuish it, let it go." Bat I was iudividnallv en. dorser for abont two hundred aud thirty thousand dollars. The bonds could be sold and bought in by the holders of the notes at a nominal price leaving uy bal ance they, might choose to exhaust me. indiug no symnathv in the Lpfrial.itnrn and the notes falling due with notice of s&io soon to take place I accepted Mr. Simontou's tender of aid to secure a re newal, by which 1 escaned nnntiter en- -- dossement of the tater. The interest was the same the coiuuauv had been nav- ing, the collaterals were he same. The time was short, but it was more than v. e had without. I nromntlv nriviafil tlm Board of what I had done, there was nothing else we could do. 1-was grateful to Mr. Simonton for ex- tricatiug me from my embarrasmeut, but I did not. know till afterwards that ho Had any interest in the matter, iu fact H oeueve uis contract with the parties in New York was a subsequent arrange ment. However that may be, I had no interest in it or him beyond the moral ob ligation to see that the man who lent his money was not defrauded. I. . IT. . . About this time Mr. McAden turned up at New York assertiusr that he owned the road by virtue of a Sheriff's deed, and that the bowls were worthless because of the invalidity of the mortaaae. Mr. McAden being a North Carolinian. Mr. Sibley, perhaps very naturally, suspected coll usion between McAden aud myself or Simonton whereas I had never before heard such a suggestion. The matter at once became a struggle between Sibley and McAden, and then it was that I came home and solicited the stock from differ ent stockholders which at-the request of jsimonton, i placed iu Sibley's hands to hold, till his debt was adjusted, as an earnest that there was no purpose to swindle him, by the company. There was no sale ot the stock. The stockholders hae consecutirely represented it since, until recently most of them have sold, at least I have, for one. Mr. Sibley finally legan his action to foreclose the mortgage as his remedy to get Ins money,. Mr. McAden claiming the mortgage to be invalid aud he the owner of the property. The 5oard of Directors passed a resolution that they would co operation with Sibley for mutu- ai protection., i jisucu tne lioara to ap point some other member to act as man aging Director in the conduct of this liti gatiou and John I. Shaver was selected. 1 he ilovrcrton Board were likewise mado parties by the Court and they were to contest the mortgage. I placed myself in the hands or Hon. 13. S. Gaither as my attorney and asked Mm to draw such an answer for mo as I could swear to. J merely stated the truth. I know; uoth ing about the employment of Col. Gai titer by other parties. There is certainly nothing here like collusion with McAden as is charged by Carter. And just here it may be remarked that whatever may have been the expectations of Sibley and Simonton, so far from realizing a fortune out of the Western N. C. Railroad, tiey actually lost thirty-five thousand dollars is witnessed by a Judgment ra the Fed eral Court iu Sibley's favor against Sim onton Estate for half that amount. And Simonton being insolvent, if I were i partner, why did not Sibley sue me 1 Be sides Simoutbn sworo I had no interest in it. " This brings me down to the charge I "procured myself to be elected to the Legislature in 1874, and manipulated the Bill through that body for the purchase Lof the road by the State." This is too ' . A .. . A W T ' 1 A- coiuemptioie to notice. uowever, it is a fact that this act stopped litigation, secu red'the completion of the road, aud sav ed the stockholders something, gave em ployment to the State convicts, and the State now has half a million of good six per cent bonds on the property for her interest. This is what Carter seeks to destroy. I know uot.hingof thedistribu tion of the bonds paid by the State for the property at the foreclosure sale. I only felt interested to know that the State got a good title, as provided in the act the only debt I had was for salary and borrowed money which was not se cured and remains unpaid I - It remains for me to declare ray readi ness toviudicatetheJutegiityof my every act in relation to tlioW. N. C. Railroad in the Courts or elsewhere, and it is not needful forme to deny any m"ortat dread of freebooters or blackmailers, come from whence they may. . Sam'i. McD TJlte.
