.Howell Cobh in Augusta Chronicle.
A short while before his death Alexan
der H. Stephens asserted that the south
toad grown poorer and poorer since the
■war. This provoked much criticism.
When, however, it was known he referred
to the agricultural interest, the foundation
♦of stable prosperity, many who first diV
iputcd concurred in his opinion. The fact
that this interest is prostrated and suffer
ing from protracted depression will now
be conceded. In Georgia, whatever statis
tics inav show, no intelligent observer will
•contend that the condition of the fanners
ns a class has improved.
All the ftiult does not lie at the door of
V he negro. The former slave-holder did
realize immediately after the war his se
rious loss. The negro’s presence still as a
laborer blinded him. I recall, in 1805-66,
many declaring they were bettor off they
no longer had the negro to suoport. The
high prices for cotton helped to fasten
upon us the system of all cotton. These
two causes deluded us into continuing the
life of luxurious ease and extravagance en
gendered by slavery.
*iimancipation crippled the individual
owner,'t)(rt (Mcl Dot impoverish the south.
The productive power remained uudis-
turben other than as affected by t he con
fusion incident to the change, lhe land
and the negro, serving os the labor, wrought
vvY»aA prosperity we have had since the
war. The free negro, then, has not}proven
an utter failure. As in slavery, he enriched,
by hit? increase and profit ol his labor, his
muster directly and the whole south in
directly, so as a free laborer, lie has by the
sweat of his brow materially aided in the
rehabilitation of the south.
fan it be said, then, that the negro is not
to be depended upon as a permanent and
reliable laborer, or that he is unfitted to be
t he land tenantry of the south? To an-
w<vr this question fully and intelligently
we must consider the influence of the ne
gro upon our material development before
■.ukI since the war—the effect ol his pres
ence upon our progress, both as Hlave and
freeman. Did his presence impede our
lull development before the war? None
will deny that slavery was injurious to the
noTr’stave holding and labor claws of whiteH
in the south. ,
{ presume that it will not be claimed
that slavery developed either economy,
thrift or industry in the slave-holding
class. Slavery enervated the slave-holder
even to dependence upon the slave, hin-
■dcrixi the progress of the non-slave-holder,
and made the south n.s a section dependent
upon tiie north. Before the war I\ It. ft.
Cobb, addressing the Alumni Society of
the Georgia University, recognized this
dependence. He declared the north fur
nished our teachers and literature. Not a
text book was written or printed south.
The north supplied our fabrics, machine
ry, what little we needed, our household
goods, our garden and agricultural im
plements, down to tlie ax-helve used by
the negro upon the plantation. He de
plored lids dependence, and urged our
people, to arouse from their lethargy.
After the war B. H. Hill, addressing the
same society, deplored the still existing
and ever increasing dependence, lie never
uttered a more absolute truth than when
he declared the defence of slavery had en
slaved the south, hampered her mind, con
tracted her resources, dwarfed her mate
rial development, and isolated her from
sympathetic contact with the world. Ills
utterance provoked criticism—-but, as often
with Air. Hill, he but anticipated public
opinion.
Has twenty years of negro free labor
•altered our status of dependence? In truth
it. is worse. In the main, we nro st ill de
pendent upon the north for our books,
fabrics, machinery and implements of
trade and agriculture. Before the war we
did make a support tirst, and cotton ns a

oil or animal oil will do pretty well, but
this oil wlB stand a greater degree of cold
without rougunling than ordinary oils. It
fixture of common oils. The
is n secret m I
•surplus crop. Now, after twenty years of
free negro labor, we are literally depend
ent upon the north for bread and meat.
The testimony of all who work the negro
is that he is growing more unreliable as a
laborer.
The tutelage of the time of slavery bene
fited the negro solely through his faculty
ofimftndJoii. He now contemns the white
Hum's opinion and example, it is true he
is of a cneerful spirit, and easily contented.
A little stems to content the negro- a full
stomach and no work save when hunger
impels him. This tends to make him un
reliable as a laborer-—improvident and
thriftless. The negro thus, at present, un
fitted to be a reliable laborer, is slowly
becoming an independent tiller of our
lands. IV> is gaining this position neither
■by merit, nor with the voluntary consent
-of the landowner.
CVfter twenty years of trouble to work
the negro under intelligent control, which
jj best alike for landowner and negro, the
former, exhausted in devices, patience and
Vuirae, is in despair gradually yielding his
land to negro tenants. This he does, not,
from choice, but coercion id'circumstance
•as stated, with the firm conviction that the
negro tenant will impoverish tlie land, as
he'hies in many instances already bank
rupted the owner. The evil is great and a
Spaeth- remedy imperative. The most,
UFjienil i have seen suggested is w bite im
migration, both of farmers ableto buy and
cultivate the lands and intelligent laborers.
Artificial increase of white tillers of tho
siiil will overcome 1 lie Present dispropor
tion in numbers of the negro, and natural
increase of same, which threatens disaster
to our agricultural interests. Kvery indue -
ment should lie offered; advertise our ad- i
vantages of climate and soil, pure water,]
health and cheap hinds adapted to varied ;
culture. Tlie state should open its treasury
to this end; an efficient bureau of immigra- 1
lion should lie immediately and per mil- :
nentiy established. The lamlowners should
co-operate in the way of easy purchase of
lands both os to price and time of pay
ment. If it could lie constitutionally 1
done, tlie state could well afford to buy the I
lands and donate them to bona tide settlers
title conditioned upon certain period of I
occupancy and improvement thereon. In
ji few years tlie .state would be amply re-;
paid m increased value and revenue, I
think the tendency of such immigration |
will he to disttihute tlie negro gradually ,
over tlie whole country. Necessity will ]
compel him to seek work on terms consis
tent with a profitable utilization of his la
bor, both for the land owner and for him
self. Proper control and tutelage of ex- [
ample will dcvelope any latent virtues.
Tlie negro problem involves more than
merely our material growth. In fact, this
is only embraced in the broader problem
-his presence involves, it' we go on as now,
t be negro in abnormal disproportion to the
Whites--as a product of slavery and this
disproportion increasing, what of the fu
ture? AVhat will n century, or even less,
yield us, social as well as material ?

CANNIBALS ON THE CONGO.
the Star) of u While Man who Idled Fifteen
Montlii, Among Them.
New York Hun.
I A bout a year ago a report was telegraphed
overthe world that the whites in some of
the Upper Congo stations had been killed
and eaten by cannibal*. The report was
not believed, because n few white men
had traveled up and down the river for a
year or two without discovering evidences
of cannibalism except in one tribe. Stan
ley’s recently published book threw no
light on the subject of Congo cannibals,
though it did record the appalling rumor
afloat among some of tlie tribes that the
whites were very fond of eating black
people. The report that the whites on the
Upper river had become food for the na
tives proved false, as was expected, and re
cently a good deal of information had
been in-ought back about the cannibal
tribe whose numerous villages line the
river for a long distance about 8U0 miles
from its mouth.
Tlie Congo state is on good terms with
this tribe, the Bangallas, and has a station
in the midst of them. It was the Bangallas
who sallied out In their big war canoes and
gave Stanley the fiercest reception he en
countered when he first forced his way
down tlie river. As is usual with cannibal
tribes, they are superior in courage, phys
ique, and mental ability to the surrounding
people, and they lord it over a considera
ble area. Mr. Westmark, who has lived
among them for fifteen months, has just
lectured in France on their peculiarities,
and chiefly on the practice of anthropo
phagy as it exists among them.
According to him they engage in the
practice only upon tho death of well-to-do
or influential men, wiien slaves are killed
at tho graves of the deceased persons so
that they may accompany their masters
and minister to their wants in the other
world. It has been the custom to sacrifice
at least twenty victims at the death of
every important person. Bound hand and
foot the poor wretches are beheaded, and
half of them arc buried in the grave of
their master. The bodies of the other ten
are reserved for the big fete that concludes
the funeral ceremonies. Native beer in
great quantities is prepared days in advance
of the feast. Tlie flesh of the murdered
slaves is placed in great earthen pots full
of water, and boiled until half the water
has evaporated, and then the banquet is
ready to begin.
Tlio orgie continues for a day or two un
til all the refreshments are exhausted and
a large part of tlie mail population is dead
drunk. The Congo missionaries appear to
think that the Bangallas are sadly in need
of reformatory influences, and they intend
to establish a station among them. Mr.
Westmark makes tlie interesting state
ment that although cannibalism has been
practiced to a large extent among the Ban
gallas, it has now considerably diminished
on account of tlie influence of the whites,
and lie believes that after Europeans have
lived in this country a little longer it will
disappear.
Among the many millions of savages in
Africa there are few cannibals. Schwein-
furtli found that the large Houbutu tribe
on tho Welle Makua were addicted to the
practice. It also exists among the Mue-
olis of Angola, among the Bangallas of the
Upper Congo, among some of the natives
of tlie Aruwini tributary to the Congo, and
was formerly practiced to a small extent
in some parts of South Africa. As a rule,
the natives who indulge in the horrible
custom try to conceal it from the whites
who visit them, and nowhere does it long
survive the growth of white influences in
districts where it has flourished.
NOT SEARED.
3UT THE HEART THROBS OF
TRUE MANHOOD.
Sparta, Ga., Sept. 22, 18815.—To the Conslitu
tion. Atlanta- -Wert* I to pre-ctice deception in !
oa«e like this, J would think that my heart had
becomee seared beyond recognition.
To bo guilty of bearing false testimony, thereby
imperiling the lives of my fellow-men, would
place me beneath the dignity of a gentleman.
The facts which I disci one are endorsed and
vouched for by tho community in which I live,
and I trust they may exert the influence in
tended.
For twenty long years I have suffered untold
tortures from n terrible pain and weakness in the
small of my back, which resisted all modes ami
manner of treatment.
For a long time the horrifying pangs of an eat
ing enneer of my lower lip has added to my mis
ery and suffering. This encroaching, burning
and painful sore on my lip was pronounced Kj*.
thelial Cancer by tlie prominent physicians ir
his section, which .stubbornly resisted the hi *-’
medical talent. About eighteen months ago a
cutting, piercing pain located in my breast, whie!',
could not be allayed by the ordinary modes • .
treatment.
These su flerings of mist rv and prostration hr
came so great that, on the 18th of last July, y
leading physician said that I could not live long
er than four days, and I had about given up in
despair. The burning and excruciating ravage?
of the cancer, tlie painful condition of my back
and breast, and the rapid prostration of my
whole system combined to make me a men*
wreck of former manhood
While thus seemingly suspended on a thread
between life and death, I commenced the use ol
B. B. B., the grandest blood medicine, to me and
my household, ever used.
The effect was wonderful -it was magical. The
excruciating pains which had tormented me by
(lay and by night for twenty years were soon
held in abeyance, and peace and comfort were
restored to a suffering man, the cancer com
menced healing, strength was imparted to my
feeble frame, and when eight bottles had been
used I was one of the happiest of men, and felt
about as well as I ever did.
All pain hud vanished, the cancer on my lip
healed, and I was pronounced cured. To-those
who are afflicted, and need a blood remedy, I
urge the use of B. B. b. as a wonderfully effective,
speedy and cheap blood purifier.
Allen Grant.
Sparta, Ga., September 22, 1835.—I saw Mr.
Allen Grant, when he was suffering with epithe
lial cancer ol the under lip, and after using the
B. B. b. medicine, as stated above, I find him
now almost if not perfectly cured.
Signed, J. T. Andrews, M. D.
Sparta, Ga., September 22, 1885.—We take
pleasure in certify ing to the truth of the above
statement, having supplied the patient with
the Blood Balm.
Signed, Rozusit & Varduman, Druggist*.
Sparta, Oa., September 22, 1885.—I often «mw
Mr. Alien Grant when suffering from epithelio
ma, ami from the extent of the cancer thought
he would soon die. He now appears perfectly
well, and I consider it a most wonderful cure.
