Belief in Voodoo and Local Political Notices
An excerpt recounts a Philadelphia negro’s tale of voodoo cures and curses with a doctor’s charms. It notes beliefs that witches shapeshift into animals and cites a South Carolina floor-crossing rice method. The piece shifts to Missouri politics, praising W S Cowherd and John A Knott for governor and railroad duties, then records Amasa Holmes’ visit with Monroe friends.
