TALES OF SLAVERY DAYS
(Concluded from page five)
gravely assuring the person who applied
for help that the remedy would prove
effective and would drive away the
' ' witch ' ' which it was declared an enemy
had sent against the sick man. If Another
negro superstition regards the virtue of
the last tail-bone of an entirely black cat
in making the owner invisible. A story
about this fetish will show how it must
have come down from Africa, where
charms of all kinds have always been such
vogue. About twenty-five years ago a
negro convict in the State prison here,
employed in a stone quarry getting out
granite for the penitentiary, asked leave
to use his noon-time in doing some cook
ing. This being granted he prepared a
pot, under which he made a brisk fire, the
pot being almost full of water, and when
the latter had boiled he produced a black
cat in a sack, which he plunged into the
water, the animal being wrapped in the
sack so it would not scratch him. He let
it so remain until the next day and then
with great care took the carcass out of
the sack and picked out the proper bone.
When a prison guard asked him what he
would do with this he replied that his
time in the penitentiary was nearly ended
and when it wras out he could go where he
liked, without being seen by any human
eye. He expressed entire faith in this
and declared that the owner of a " cat
bone, ' ' which ought to be worn in a little
buckskin bag around the neck, was abso
lutely invisible. He confided to the
officer that he had owned such a bone and
that he would not have gotten into
trouble, that is been arrested, if he had
had it in his possession at the critical
time. H The writer finds that this belief
in the efficiency of the .cat-bone exists to
a considerable extent among older negroes
of the ruder sort, though the young
negroes know very little about it. The
younger negroes, by the way, are quite a
distinct class from the older ones, and
the gap between the new and the old is
widening every year. Many of the
younger regard the older people of their
race with a great deal of indifference, not
to say contempt, and they would, so far
as up-country negroes are concerned, be
inclined to consider the coast negroes of
the latest importation above referred to
as being a race apart. It is to be doubted
whether they would, as a matter of fact,
have anything to do with them.
There is no doubt that the extreme
down-country blacks retain many more of
the African characteristics. They have
to be controlled in block, so to speak.
That is also the experience in the Yazoo
delta in Mississippi, where there are vast
communities in which whites are in the
proportion of one to a hundred or even
less, but yet control the blacks- In some
of the communities the old system of
overseers has virtually been continued,
and while it is asserted that there is
neUher slavery nor yet peonage, there is
a control, which, no matter what may be
said on the other side, is a necessity for
the preservation of the best . interests of
the community, since, if left absolutely
to themselves the blacks would surely
go wild.
