COLUMBIA-RUTGERS: Remember when Stymie of Little Rascals fame said to his mule. "Comon, Algebar, this ain't no place for you." Remember.

A holler could be used to report distress, or good news-the recovery of a sick mule, the completion of spring plowing, the arrival of a circuit minister to give a service the next day. These days, hollerin' has by and large been outdated by modern communications, but it is still cherished-and practiced-by many of the old masters who used to rely...
