I reckon I'll have to vote to-day for Lewis Rand." A tumult arose. "Adam Gaudylock belongs upon the Mississippi! He isn't an Albemarle man! He's a Kentuck He's a Louisianian He's a subject of Jefferson's new kingdom! Challenged! He can't vote in Albemarle!" The hunter waited for the uproar to cease.

Bill’s face grew still redder. “Yo’ lie, yo’ dog!” he hissed. “Yo’ father did send me to jail, but I war innocent, an’ he knowed it. But he thought I war only po’ white trash, while he is an aristocrat. I swore to hev my revenge, an’ I will hev it. Boys, what do we-uns do with hoss-thieves in ole Kentuck?” “Hang ’em,” exclaimed four or five voices. “An’ we-uns will hang this crowin’ bantam.

"I should say so," responded Tom Hadley, using his customary formula. "Are you in search of gold, Mosely?" asked Bradley, in a more quiet manner. "We're kinder prospectin' among the hills," answered Mosely.
