. Highways and byways of the South. gs visited a waste poolthat formed on the ground below. Many a bucketfulfor home use was carried away by both whites andblacks, and every little while some colored man oryouth would drink by putting his mouth down to thespout, or perhaps he would fill his felt hat and drinkfrom that. On my walk, the day before, Jerry and Abrahamhad pointed out to me the colored peoples chuch-house — a plain, barnlike structure originally putup for a bar-room. It stood in the woods on theriver bank, and the stream flowed dark and swift anddeep not a stones throw away. In front, suspendedbetween two trees, was the bell, — a great, brokencircular saw.

Three of the sisters sat along theright hand wall and four of the brethren sat along theleft hand wall, and that was the congregation.
