These shoes were called ~Brogans‘ and they were very cri~de in constrtiction having been iñad.e of very stiff leather. Ion. of the clothing that was worn on this plantation was bought as everything necessary for the manufacture of clothing was available on the premises.

	As bas been previously stated, Mrs. Kale did all of the ceokieg on the plantation with the possible exception of S~n&ays when the elates cooked for themselves. Duriz~g the week their diet usually consisted of corn breth, fat meat, vegetables, milk, and potiiqiior. The ~ that they ate in Sunday w~s practically the same. All the food that they ate was pr.di~c.& in the master‘ s garden and there was a st~fficient amount for everyone at all times.

	There were two one~~rocm~ log cabins in the rear of the master‘ s house. These cabins were dedicated to slave use. Mrs. McDaniel says: ‘The floors were made o1~ heavy wooden plaiiks. Lt one end of the cabin was the chimney which was made out of dried mud., sticks, and dirt. On the side of the cabin opposite the door there was a window where we got a little air and a little light. Oux‘ beds were made out of the same kind. of wood that the floors were and we called them ‘Bed-Stilts.‘ Slats were used. for springe uhu. the mattresses were made of large bags stt~ffed. with straw. At night we used. tallow cathles for light and sometimes fat pine that we called. light-wood. As Mrs.

Kale did~ all of our cooking we ~ad very few pots and. pans. In thö Winter months we used to take nmô. and. close the cracks left in the wall where the logs did not fit cloée together.‘

	According to Mrs. McDaniel all the eerious illnesses were handled by a doctor who was called in at such times. At other times Mr. Ii‘ Mrs. Kale gave them either castor oil or salts. Sometimes they were given a type of oil called ~lobelia oil.‘ At the bsginni~g of the eprin~ season they drank ve~ nous teas made out of the roots that they gathered. in the surroimd.ing woods.
