I hear say if de rentman come to your house an' yo' ain't got de money, ain't able to pay him an' yo' don't want him to put yo' out, get yo' a brand-new box of salt, and a brand-new box of pepper. Open de door an' don't use nothin' else but that. Every time he come dere, sprinkle your house an' sweep it, sweep it in the room an' yo' oon't have no trouble with him.
