The negroes, like a good many of their owners, are opposed to innovations.

They like the good old way.

The hot sun under which they were born, and the hotter one that lighted the paths of their ancestors, prejudices them against any new effort.

I think, _when they do get in Congress_, they will vote for agricultural against manufacturing interests.

I am sure they would rather pick cotton than be confined to the din and dust of a factory.
