18 THE TATTLER SMITH VS. VARSITY. Smith again showed its superiority over the Varsity by winning the first of a series of three games to be played.

One night a wagon belonging to a farmer was struck, resulting in a bad accident. The company was, of course, sued for damages, and at the trial the old darkey replied to the questions put to him in a clear, direct fashion. Among these questions was one as to whether he was sure that he swung his lantern across the road when he perceived the train approaching. The negro replied: “I shorely did, sah!” The trial resulted in a verdict for the railroad company and the counsel took early opportunity to compliment the aged negro on his excellent testimony, to which the latter replied: “Thankee, Marse John, but I wras shorely skeered when dat lawyer man begin to ask me about de lantern. I was afraid for a minute dat he was going to ask me if it was lit or not. De oil done give out befor’ de accident.”
