Wan Adam Black or White ?
THE FTTNXT MAN AT LEESBURG FORCED
TO THINK HE WAS.
Leesburg, June 17,1879.
Another dream—yes I have had
another dream. I dreamed I was a
member of an Albany debating so*
clety. The question for discussion
was: "Was Adam a Negro or a White
Man 7” I was required to advocate
tbs affirmative. I had no alternative;
obedience was exacted by law, under
severe penalties. With great reluc
tance and much disgust I arose and
began as follows:
Me. CsaIucax : From infancy to
age, from the cradle to the grave, we
bsar stories and sae pictures re pa
tenting Adam as a white man. Jose-
phus knew this position waa folia-
cious and utterly untenable. Ho at
tempted to disarm and tone down fu-
ture controversion on the subject by
stating that "Adam” in tbe Hebrew
meant "red”; that Adam was made
of red clay—virgin soil. In other
words, be seems to think Adam was
an Indian, probably an Esquimau.
But the Bible doasn’tsay be was made
of red clay. It says he was made of
dost. Had hq boeu made of sand, he
might hare been white; of clay, he
might have been red; of loam, he
might have been grey; but he was
made of dust—manufactured near the
confluence of four rivers, where Urge
deposiU of alluvium, the blackest of
all dost, is likely to he found. No
body doubts the color of dust. When
wheels are rattling along the streets
in dry weather, how anxiously the
fond mother squalls to her errant
brat, "Come in tho yard, right now,
Ichabod! You've stood out there in
the dust until you’re just as black—’’
Oh. yes, Adam was made of dust-
made Mack—a black man. \Yc are
informed that Adam was put to
sleep. Now notice—he was only put
to sleep; he was not kept in that po
sition, but he was pnt to sleep; and
while he slept voluntarily and by the
force of his own nature, a rib was
taken from his side. Would not a
white man have waked up before the
conclusion of this performance ? I
ha re seen a half dozen colored men
sleeping with their feet pointing to a
burning log heap. One of the num
ber lia-not yet entered the land of
dreams; he whiffs a suspicious odor;
he jumps up; "Look a here, men,
wake tip, wake up! some nigger's
foot's a burnin'!’* and sure cuough, a
colored man’s foot is broiling, while
yet he "lies peacefully dreaming'' ol
a happy heaven filled with hog
meat and corn cakes. Tell me, oh!
tell me where’s the white man who
would have slept through this ordeal,
and where's the black one who wonld
have waked 7 Echo answers where.
Then Adam wa3 a caliud pusson.—
But further, the sentence was pro
nounced upon Adam and Ids poster
ity, the sentence that he should make
bis bread by tlie sweat of his face;
should work, toil, strive, sweat. Was
that you, sir 7 Was that these butter
fly gents who look like a pound cake
and smell like a store-house? No,
sir; no. The sentence was pronounced
against Adam and his race, and be
hold its execution by the toiling mil
lions of his race. Read tbe sentence
and its execution upon tho sentenced
race of Adam—tbe black man. Read
it in the glitter of the pearly sweat-
drop ; smell it in the balmy odors of
tbe perspiration; see it in the sun
shine that makes the cri-p and kinky
hair; see it in the over-taxed, over
burdened energies which drive the
ankle into the middle of the foot.
Read it and see it and doubt it no
longer. At thin point I made a forci ■
ble gesture, killed three—ticks on tbe
bead-board of my bed, and awoke.
Some little sickness m Lee; noth
ing serious. Health seekers are gon*
up—the country. Tellable news non

emigrate, and of their disposition not
to contract, but only to cultivate the
land as tenants, running their farms

supervision of owners; and of tho
tact that the Radical party may con

it not be well for the people of tho
South to begin to look about for la
bor to supply tbe place of that which
we now have, in case we should be
left without 7 I am free to ackowl-

we can get for tbe South; and so
long as they stay and do the work
we have no disposition to supplant
them, but in case of emigration or
refold on thelr part to do the work
except npon their own terms, we
think that aelf-preservalion demands
that this matter be taken Into con

Importance, and one in which every
class of society has an interest.
The closing exercises of the Grange
Institute at Cuthbert were had last
week, winding up on Friday night.
There were a great many visitors
present, and all of them, as well as
the citizens of Cuthbert, were loud
in their praises of Prof. MeXulty and
bis school, and surely if any teacher
ever deserved praise for having done
his wholo duty, and more, for very
small pay, Prof. McNulty is that'one.
I havo not a doubt but that the
Grange Institute, under Prof. Mc
Nulty, is tho very best school for
boys in the 8tate, and the fact that
the cost being only 8100 for board
and tuition, places an education with
in tho reach of many young men
who could not afford to pay higher
rates.
Prof. McNulty is fully worthy, in
every respect, of the patronage of the
people who have sons to educate;
and as he has broken down the bar
riers of high prices, wc think that it
is the duty of the people to folly sus
tain him, by giving a large number
of scholars. Respectfully,
KNOW THYSELF,
td structures wc sec that exercise or
use gives increased activity and
strength as well as skill, to any par
ticular limb or organ of that struc
ture, under the influence nf tho will.
Out of these facts wo forgo the
Ley that unlocks the arcana of human
notions, responsibilities or irrespon
sibilities. Let us illustrate our posi
tion : A is a man, of sound body, and
well proportioned; has the upper
brain largely developed; has very
large conscientiousness, veneration,
benevolence, ideality, sublimity and
spirituality, with a fair development
of reasoning and perceptive organs.
He Is whole-souled, and loves.the hu
man family; Is anxious to do some
thing to benefit man, has exalted ideas
of God and the spiritual universe;
ie shocked at tho irreverence of oth
ers; feels It bis duty to impress bis
Ideas of morality and rellgiou npon
others, with large marvelousness
added, conscientiously believes that
God has appointed him to the minis
try; to him it is both a duty and a
pleasure to minister to the wants 01
others.

Editors Albany News:
After a long drouth of three weeks,
wc were blessed on Monday, the 9th
mat., with a refreshing rain, in suf
ficient quantity to revive the droop
ing vegetation, and also the drooping
.pints of man. All the crops, after
having received the refreshing
draught, under the influence of the
hot sun, have sprung into a fresh
growth as if by magic, which fact
carries delight to the toiler’s eye and
grateful pleasure to his heart.
The writer has just returned from
Cuthbert, where he went to attend
the closing exercises of the
oranoe institute.
From my observation along the road,
and from the information I gathered
from fanners with whom I talked in
Cuthbert, I am satisfied that the
crops of this portion of Southwest
tieorgia are not near no promising as
they were last year at this time. The
corn crop will undoubtedly be much
short of what it was last year. Tho
general complaint of the farmers is
In the preceding investigations, we
have traced man’s physical origin to
the elements of the universe, subject
to the laws of matter, and as we find
no quality or capacity in them ade
quate to account for the progressive
intelligence of man, which is and has
been apparent in all ages and among
all peoples, we are forced to the con
clusion that these manifestations have
their origin in an invisible individu
ality which, for convenience and dis
tinction, we call the spiritual man.
It was also shown that thoughts, voli
tion and acts in man, are the results
proceeding from a combination or
unity of tho spiritual man and tbe
physical organism, and that the flow
of the current of thought is retarded,
diverted from the right line by or
ganic barriers; which barriers were
the results of priraogenitivo and
psychological causes. Now, from
this statement of facts, although ap
parently conclusive as to the sphere
of man’s actions, which we may illus
trate by taking any number of pieces
of glass variously colored, and place
them in an aperture in tbe wall so as
to let tho light of the sun pass tbro’
them Into a room, we see that the
light transmitted varies in color and
shade according to the color or stain
of the glass through which it passes.
While a piece left unstained transmits
it with all of its natnral brilliancy.—
The light we see on the floor of the
room, or on canvass, differing so
greatly in color, is all from the same
source of equal purity and brilliancy;
it Is only the medium through which
it passes that has marred its glory.
Now this is not a violation of law,
but is in perfect accord with the qual
ity and conditions of matter and th)
principles of light. Now let ns apply
the illustration to throw some light
upon the eubject of investigation.—
Let various individuals be represent-
cd by tbe variously stained pieces of
glass, and let the light of.tbe sun rep
resent the spirit, tbe sourco of life,
thoughts and actions of the Individ
uals. The thoughts and acts of these
individuals will present as great a
variety of differences as do tho lights
transmitted through the panes of
glass. Now, if we regard intelli
gcncc and vitality as an outgrowth of
the gross elements of the universe
we should be forced to the conclusion
that man, in his entirety, is utterly in
helpless subjection to the physical
forces of the universe. But it is a
law of universal prevalence that ef
fects correspond to causes; therefore,
to arrive at just conclusions, we must
observe the difference in oporativ
causes. Our illustration presents tbe
effects of physical forces operating
through ttui medium of inorganic bo
dies. While in man wo havo to stu
<ly the effects resulting from a spirit
ual force, through refined elements
organized. In the former we have
the effects of light, heat, electricity
and magnatism operating upon gross
elements resulting in composition
and decomposition,; in the latter in
stance wo have the effects of spiritual
principles operating upon refined or-

Mr. Wiley Chnmbliss, of Berrien
couuty, sent us lust week, through
the editor of the News, Mr. J. W.
Hanlon, two stalks of corn that had
sixteen silks, eight on each. It no

dozen cars of corn. It is called the

can be seen at our office.

champion “big snake” county of the
Slate. It copies what our Ty Ty edi

It is claimed for the new cotton
process, 1st, That it will do away
with the gin-house, cotton-press, bag
ging and ties and much hauling.
2. That it will dispense with the
many clippings of the middle meu,
such as speculators, weighing and
making, insurance, commissions, etc.
3. The great margin (between the
raw material and the fabrics), which
has enriched the North, will be saved
and spent at home.
4. That it will employ a large num
ber of women aud children whose la
bor otherwise is valueless.
5. That it will increase largely the
population of this country as well as
tbe amount of money in' circulation
in onr midst, and afford better school
and church facilities.
6. That it will enhance the value of
real estate and increase the demand
for the products of the country.
7. That it will draw capital and
machinery from tho North to this
section.
8. That the new process can be run
profitably on a small scale, and still
more so if the i-usiness i» enlarged.
9. That It will build up the stations
and small towns along tho railways
as well as various points throughout
the country where water power can
be found and where fuel is cheap for
making steam. These places will spin
the yarn from tbe cotton in the seed
and ship to the market cities where
more costly machines will be erected
for manufacturing tho more compli
cated fabrics'?*
10. That tbe cotton States, no long
er hewers of wood and drawers of
water for others, will use tho means
with which God has blessed them,
and enter into a new era of prosperi
ty, unequalled before in this or any
cither country.
The State Lunatic Asylum
Tho Atlanta Constitution, aflcr
commenting on the letter of Super
intendent I’owell to tho News, says:
"In the matter of improving and
enlarging this most humane and
charitable of all our institutions, tho
Legislature which assembles in July
must take definite stops. The mem
bers thereof cannot escape tho re
sponsibility which their positions
give them. Thoy must not only pro
vide enlarged accommodations for
tlie whites, hut they must materially
enlarge tho colored department, and
add to tho comforts of all thu pa
tients. Idiots and imbeciles must bo
provided with a department to thom-
selves, and such appropriations of
money made as will add to tho gen
eral efficiency of Um instiution. This
Is one of tho duties that the general
assembly cannot escape.”
Dr. W. II. Holcombe, of New Or
leans, a leading member of tlie na
tional homeopathic yellow fever com
mission, said in Indianapolis, Indiana,
on last Monday, lie thought thu dis
ease this year would spread further
north thnn it did Inst year, there he-
ing no climatic conditions to prorcul
.it. lie saw no reason why northern
cities with the necessary condition
should escapo short of an epidemic.
Prevention is to be propared against
it by proper sanitary conditions.
Tho State Lunatic Asylum.
The editors of the Albany News
have done good service in putting bo-
fore the public the present deplora
ble condition of the Stato Asylum for
tho insaue. Tho report which' the offi
cers of that institution submit at each
session of the Legislature ucver finds
its way into thu newspapers, and
rarely receives from the Legislature
the attention it deserves. In answer
to a letter from the editors of tho
News, Dr. T. O. Powell, the Super*
inteudeut, makes some statements of
facts which deserve the most serious
consideration. The capacity of the
asylum is for 700 patients, but 754 are
now iu it—the excess being provided
for by using the parlors and recrea
tion porticoes. Dr. Powell says that
applications for the admission of ad
ditional patients have to be refused,
except “in recent or dangerous cases.”
The department for colored patients
“has been dangerously crowded for
mootli9,” and there are now forty-five
applications for admission to it,
which cannot he granted until vacan
cies occur by death or otherwise.—
Many of these unfortunates are con
fined in the different county jails, and
all humane persons will agree with
Dr. Powell that some provision
should be made for their care. A
bill is now pending in the Legisla
ture providing for an enlargement
of the colored department of the asy-
linn, and humanity demands that i
shall become a law without any un
necessary delay. This is not a case
where the question of economy is to
be considered. The only question is
whether tho State will make ade
quate provision for the support and
treatment of citizens whose minds
are diseased, and who are rotting in
jails; and to that question there can
he but one reply. If it required the
last dollar in the Treasury it should
be expended iu such a cause as this.—
Dr. Powell calls attention to a prac
tice which he complains of as an evil,
lie says "the poor houses, upon the
“slightest manifestation of mental
“weakness, have been Bonding to tho
“Institution a class of harmless pa
tients that we cannot hope to benefit
“—such cases as paralysis, senile im-
“bccility, the intaut, the blind, the
“lame, the dying.” He says the de
partments for harmless chronic cases
of insanity aud for harmless idiots
are filled to their utmost capacity,
and he thinks that no more of this
class should be sent to the asylum.—
He finds, like all other men of his
profession, that insanity is steadily
on tlie iiicreaso—an increase more
than proportionate to the increase of
population, and it is evident that the
people of Georgia must make up
their minds to augment every year
the already large expenditures for
the support of the pauper insane. A
very marked increase in the number
of insane colored persons may be con
fidently expected. In the days of
slavery a lunatic negro was a novelty,
now cases of insanity amongthat raco
are becoming painfully common, es
peciallv in the towns and dtics. In
sanity is an incident of civilization;
and the negro must pay the same pen
alty exacted frrom the white race —

Attempt of North Carolina Con
victs to Escape.
Raleigh, N. C., June 14.—A party
of convicts at work on the Cape Fear
and Yadkin Valley Railway ne r
Chatham County, made a desperate
break for liberty to-day. They had
planned the escape well, and attempt
ed unsuccessfully to carry it out.—
Among the prisoners composing the
gang was a desperate character by
the name of Huntley. ' This men last
year committed the crime of horse
stealing at Wadesboro and fled to this
city. Ho was pursued here, and con
tinued his flight to Greene county,
where he was captured. Since then
he has been in thegang of prisoners,
and has been the master-spirit in tbe
plans for escape. The gang each
night had to march some distance
along a road to their camp. This
evening at the dote of work they
were being carried there, and when a
farm house was reached ten men ot
the gang, led by Huntley, made a
sharp dash right through the yard.—
The guards were not taken by sur
prise, and in an instant ten leveled
rifles vomited leaden death among
the flying .men, -Eight dropped at
the flash. Two escaped, not being
touched by a second fire, which in
stantly followed the first. Dashing
forward the guarda found four of the
men stone-dead, and the other four
badly wounded. Among the latter
was the desperato Huntley. As the
convicts rushed through the yard tbe
people of the farm house were at
their vocations. A woman was stoop
ing milking a cow. One of the gang
ran toward her, and just as he reach
ed a poiut only a few feet away a
bullet pierced his .brain and he fell
dead fit her feet. She almost fainted
from fright, but was not harmed.
The other convicts of the gang made
no attempt to fly, and it was only the
ill-fated ten who took part in the
foolish plan.
