Thanks for the Spin reference, Lighter.

My "shwing" was a typo!
I wonder (idly, as it really has no bearing) if Hugill changed any of the spellings from Marston and Allen's. If the NAACP periodical also got the text from Marston/Allen (as I tentatively suspect), they chose less dialect-y spellings. (Not related to the topic, just interesting to me.)
