Lucas initially sees his George Wilkins as a competitor in the moonshine whiskey business, along the lines of this earlier "other competitor," who "about five years ago" also tried to set up another still on the McCaslin-Edmonds place, but now, Lucas reminds himself with apparent pleasure, was "plowing and chopping and picking cotton which was not his on the State penal farm at Parchman" (33).
