LEE. IN the antebellum days tho iiogruc enjoyed a whole week of rest nt ClirlstmiiH time. Now that they' aro hired hands Instead of slaves they cling to this privilege, refusing to work while the holiday spirit Is In tho nlr. This means that Christmas lasts a week. Every negro mini, woman and pickaninny makes the most of tho week, and the fun runs high. On 'ninny plantations tho negroes are almost nn much a part of the "plant" as tlioy were during slavery. Tlioy havo ttio feeling that, lunsuuich as they 1q1qiik to the place the rant of this your, Ihs pluce iKiluiiifn to them for tint liuiuiny waek, Hiid they take advnuUge f th opportunity to do aa they please. Fur weeks in ndvnuco the holidays are anticipated with Juy, though, not with uuy grout degree of preporatlun. The plantation negro, generally speak ing, lets tomorrow tako otiro of Itiolf. Hut somo of tho nmro provldont-onoa begin to store up for Christmas. Thu fnttost pumpkin Is picked up from tho corn rows and put away fu.r plo ipi turlal. Tho turkey gobbler hi tho hack yard Is fattened for tho occasion, Old Aunty hides her Jars of preserves from tho younger generation. Undo Iko be comes n confedomto In tho happy con spiracy for saving things to augment the Christmas xpread. Christmas morning tho negro chll drou nro up bright and early. There Is method In their early rising. From time Immemorial southern peoplo, both whlto and black, have cherished tho belief that there Is much virtue lu be ing tho first to shout "Christmas gift!" lu meeting a friend on tho lnorulug of tho grent day. In some sections this priority of greeting Is expected to re sult lu tho forfeit of a gift from tho oU(or party. Accordingly tho llttlo ne groes make a point of running up to tho big-plantation house anil greeting, tho whlto peoplo wlth,n lusty "Chris' mus glf!" In tho hopq of receiving at least a big red applo,.n fresh baked plo or a stick of striped caudy such as tho general storo on tho plantation Is euro to keep In stock. Tho best fiddler on tho pluntntlon Is, tho hardest worked man of all, but ho enjoys every scrapo of his bow, whllo tho dnuco goes merrily on. Tho Christ mas dnnco Is a continued story. It begins Christmas ovo and coutluucs every night In tho weok. If tho weath er Is not too cold tho big barn lloor Is cleared for tho dunce, but If heat Is required tho "function" tnkes placo lu tho blggost room of tho blggost negro house on tho place, with n roar ing llro in tho flreplaco and plenty of cheer on tho kitchen table, both solid and liquid. Christians weok Is spent in visiting. Tho negroes go from caldn to cabin on tliolr own plautatlon, or they hitch up tho work mulo or steers aud visit frlunds on a neighboring plautatlon. Evorywhoro tho Christmas spirit pro vails. If one family is short of this world's cheer uuothor family Is glad to Bharo Its own. Tho Christmas spir it on a cotton plantation U much moro '.j c- Ulexieo than In a prosperous whlto folks' town. Try Tho Times Want Ads. ' i k..
