SATURDAY, AUGUST 13 1887.
Prohibition was defeated in
Toxas by 125,000 majority.
The colored and white people
would get along very well in Geor
gia if it was not for such little fel
lows as Glenn barking and yelping
togain a doubtful notoriety.
Hon. James. G. Blaine, is in
Dublin, Ireland, quietly taking
Observations of the condition of that
country. The value of the political
capital be will make on his return
home can hardly be estimated.
The Negro is a citizen of Georgia
‘‘and to the msnner born,” and you
can bet your last dollar that it will
be a cold day in August when be
fails to raise Cain when it fs at
tempted to make an issue of him.
———
Glenn the man who has been
monkeying with the miscegnation
and race question will be roundly
Iv cursed by the Democrats in 1888.
The Republicans will not fail to use
him and give him the notoiiety he
deserves.
The white man T. G. Wool folk,
the alleged murderer of bis father,
mother, three sisters three brothers
and his aged aunt, nine in all in
Bibb county on the sth instant, is a
monster whose equal has never
been known. The magnitude of
the crime has shocked the entire
country.
On Monday night last a Mass
Meeting <»f the colored citizens or
Augusta was held in the City Hall
to take action looking to the aboli
tion of “the hell” that is called the
Georgia convict system. The
meeting was presided over by P.
H. Craig, Esq. Strong speeches
were made by the chairman. Capt.
J. W. Lyons, J C. Green and
others, denouncing in the most
unmeasured terms the barbarous
and inquitous system.
The following resolutions were
-unanimously adopted:
Augusta, Ga., Aug. 8, ’B7.
To The Honorable the Legislature of Georgia:
The following resolultious were unan
imously adopted and endorsed by the
undersigned citizens <jf Richmond
•canty.
VVuereaa, According to the reports
of legislative committees and according
to investigations m»de by the leading
newspapers of Georgia, the present
convict system is inhuman and barbar
ous, in that the prisoners are treated
more like beasts of burden than human
beings, and
Whereas, The present system allows
more - directly and openly its labor to
come in contact or competition with
free labor than does the system of any
other State in that the convicts are
worked upon the dirt rosds, railroads,
in the mines, upon farms and at almost
anything the convicts can do to make
money for the lessees.
Be it resolved, That the Legis
lature of Georgia be and is hereby re.
spectfuliy urged to ab lish this infernal
institution which has done more than
all other agencies combined to blot the
iwne of Georgia before the civilized
world.
A strong protest was «lso adopted
against the use of convict labor to
the detriment of honest wage work
era in Richmond coontv, and the
city council asked to abaie the evil.
The speeches and resolutions have
the right ring to them and it is to
be hoped they will have the desired
effect on those in authority.
The Georgia Negro seems deter
mined to be an ‘‘issue.” He wants
more attention than bis importance
. warrants.—Morning News.
The trouble is the Negro will not
F allow himself to be made mb ’’issue”
L J
neither by his “friends” nor his foes.
He is fully capable of taking care
of himself, and all he asks is to be
let alone. He asks for no more at
tention than what is his right to
demand. He certainly feels his
“importance” to the extent that all
classes in our country feel theirs.
The Morning News knows that the
Negro is of great importance to the
South—so great indeed that if he
were taken from this section for one
year the South could not sustain
itself and bankruptcy, poverty,
ruin, and desolation would be the
inevitable result to the Sunny
South.
THE SLAVERY BILL.
A. recent editorial in the Chicago Inter*
Ocean the ablest and most influential paper
in the West, conclude* a* follow*.
“Whether, under the ( Destitution
of the United States, the State of
Georgia has a right to send to the
chain gang the teacher of any col
ored school, either public or pri
vate, for the crime of permitting
his own son to recite to himself
along with ihe other pupils in th
school is a question by itself. But
it will be as easy to dodge a stroke
of lightning as for the government
of the State of Georgia, if this in
famous measure should become a
Ihw, to escape the condemnation
and scorn of the whole American
people. For the law, when the mo
tive of it is unmasked, is seen to be
essentially and ineffably mean and
cowardly, a gratuitous and brutal
outrage against the rights of Amer
ican citizens, a spitefulness toward
our‘‘inferior” race which would be
indecent in a lot of Apache Indians,
and withal a kind of response to the
munificent benevolences of North
ern people who haye done so much
to aid the State of Georgia in its
great educational task, which puts
a dismal meaning on “our civiliza
tion” as represented by this Geor
gia Legislature.
But while the shame of such a
coarse and cowardly and stupid
measure brands itself like a stigma
upon the brow of that particular
State, it is not to be overlooked
that it at the same time is some
thing which concerns Americans
generally. The honor of the
American name and of the Ameri
can civilization is a matter to which
every patriot jvill be sensitive. As
a matter of National politics, from
the Southern point of view, it is
not easy to imagine a more stupid
blunder. The sham in the pretext
of it is transparent; the shame in
ihe motive or it is ineffable, and
will long remain to plague those
who have so heedlessly exposed
themselves to the contempt of all
men with any sense of honor and
fair play.
OUR ALBANY LETTER.
DAMAGES BY THE RECENT FLOODS —
PROF. WALKER —BASE BALL MATCH
—THE TRIBUNE APPRECIATED,
The recent rains have of c >urse
damaged the growing crops, nioie
or less, and in some fields consider
able iniury has er.sued but the pri -
den* con-ervativ(> farmers estimated
the injury as slight. There will be
beyond per-adventure a fair crop
harvesied in tins county. There
are only a few plantations in tlii~
county on the Flint, that have low
fields that are inundated by the re
cent flood of rain, though the
waters a r e higher now than they
have been since —’s3. Those in
Dougin rty who have sustained ’lie
greatest damage are Benjaminn
.Mitnms, Ned Acre, and >( illiatns.
Mimrns lives about four miles from
town and a mile from the river, a
party of men Friday the sth got in
a boat and went down the river and
landed th-ir boat in Mimms’ 10l
right at his bouse. Ned Acre, has
75 acres of corn under water his
whole corn crop is a total loss.
Though he loses his corn, yet heis
is not as great a loss as Minims as
he will lose his cotton and c >rn.
Every farmer throughout the dis
trict has sustained some loss on
their fodder as the r lining was so
as to prevent the sun from drying
it. therefore causing gome consider
aide lossage, the cotton bad just
commencMi opening when the rain
set in its work of deg roying and
caused a good many bales to rot
that was half opened, although they
could not have been saved if they
had been opened as the rain would
have washed it out upon the
ground and it would i hv* been It st.
Then-fore the expectations of large
receipts in August at this market
will not be realized, as the wet
weather has set back the maturity
some twenty days..
Prof. H. L. Walker of Augusta,
President of the State Teachers’
Convention is in the city and is the
guest of Mrs. Eliza Bostick; be has
been in the city for ten days resting
from bis labors and drinking our
health giving artesian water. On
Monday night Prof. Walker, deliv
ered a very interesting and impres
sive lecture upon education which
was a master piece and enjoyed by
all of which I will give you in the
next issue. On Tuesday he was
given a grand reception at Prof.
W C Green’s which was one of the
most enjoyable entertainments of
the season. During bis short stay
in our city he won the nd mi ration
of all, there is not but one thing to
regret and that is he cannot stay
longer, and should he ever return
to Southwest Georgia it would be
our greatest pleasure to have him
stop with us and we will do every
thing to make bis stay pleasant, he
leaves this morning for Americus
(Wednesday) to stop a while with
Prot. G. W. F. Phillips.
The Nine Stars of Albany will
play a match game of baseball with
the Royal Nine of Brumswick, Au
gust, 6, in this city. There will be
an excursion from Brumswick to
Albany on that day. Look out Roy
al Nine, Capt. Stonewall has his
men in good trim.

From Josup.
Jesup, Ga., Aug. 8, 1887.
Mr Editor : Please allow me a
space in your cohitns to give the
brevities of our town. The rain
has stopped for the last six days.
There has been only one death last
week, Bro. L. G. Jordan lost his
baby, it had been sick sometime.
We organized an Educational Asso
ciation here in January for the pur
pose of fostering education in our
town; though it has met a great
many opposers and enemies—it has
survived, and has closed the private
term and c »mmenced the public
term. This is h creditable school,
and deserves the assistance of all.
The name of the Institute is the
Searles’ Institute. The Searles’ In
stitute will run an excursion f om
Savannah September 19, to Block
shear for their benefit and it is
hoped that every friend of educa
tion in the city will avail them
selves of this opportunity and go, as
it will be of a great benefit to the
Association and poor children.
Mrs. J. W. Searies has been in
disposed for a week but she is con
valescing again. The writer has
promises of some more new sub
scribers for the Savannah Tribune.
Yours,
S. H. Bryant.
