I'll drop in again in about two weeks. Good luck!" Colonel Telfair and the magazine promoter shook hands. Returning a fortnight later, Thacker dropped off a very rocky Pullman at Toombs City. He found the January number of the magazine made up and the forms closed. The vacant space that had been yawning for type was filled by an article that was headed thus: SECOND MESSAGE TO CONGRESS Written for
"I didn't do anything like that to you. It sounds like an indictment by the fourth assistant attorney-general. Let's get back to business. What's this 8,000 to 1 shot about?" "The article," said Colonel Telfair, acknowledging the apology by a slight bow, "covers a wide area of knowledge.
He wrote Telfair in January, 1830: "Your negroes have a disease now among them that I am fully at a loss to know what I had best to do. Two of them are down with the venereal disease, Die and Sary. Doctor Jenkins has been attending Die four weeks, and very little alteration as I can learn. It is very hard to get the truth; but from what I can learn, Sary got it from Friday."
He was a man about the size of a real-estate agent, with a self-tied tie and a manner that he must have borrowed conjointly from W. J. Bryan, Hackenschmidt, and Hetty Green. He was shown into the editor-colonel's pons asinorum. Colonel Telfair rose and began a Prince Albert bow. "I'm Thacker," said the intruder, taking the editor's chair "T. T. Thacker, of New York."
I telephones for the doctor, and when he comes Marcella says to me: 'Help me hold the poor dear while the doctor fixes his mouth. Oh, I hope he got no virus on any of his toofies when he bit you. Now what do you think of that?" "Does Missis Telfair " began Jim. "Oh, drop it," said the dogman. "Come again!" "Whiskey," said Jim. "Make it two," said the dogman. They walked on to the ferry.
For us the topic is rather akin to mythology, and 'folk-psychology, as the Germans call it. We are interested, as will be shown, in a most curious question of evidence, and the value of evidence. It will again appear that the phenomena reported by Glanvill, More, Sinclair, Kirk, Telfair, Bovet, are identical with those examined by Messrs.
A note appended to this letter, presumably by Telfair, reads: "Friday is the house servant sent to Retreat every summer. I have all the servants examined before they leave Savannah." In a letter of February, 1831, Cain described his winter work and his summer plans.
I don't know of any eight-thousand-word single doses of written matter that are read by anybody these days, except Supreme Court briefs and reports of murder trials. You haven't by any accident gotten hold of a copy of one of Daniel Webster's speeches, have you?" Colonel Telfair swung a little in his chair and looked steadily from under his bushy eyebrows at the magazine promoter. "Mr.
Suddenly the dog stopped. A tall, brown, long-coated, wide-brimmed man stood like a Colossus blocking the sidewalk and declaring: "Well, I'm a son of a gun!" "Jim Berry!" breathed the dogman, with exclamation points in his voice. "Sam Telfair," cried Wide-Brim again, "you ding-basted old willy-walloo, give us your hoof!"
Will you, or will you not?" That was just the uppercut for Reddy Burns' chin. The answer came back: "Why, Phil, dear, of course I will! I didn't know that you that is, you never said oh, come up to the house, please I can't say what I want to over the 'phone. You are so importunate. But please come up to the house, won't you?" Would I? I rang the bell of the Telfair house violently.
