In Memorium.
Mrs. Mollie Johnson Robinson,
wife of J. H. Robinson, was born
Dec. 6,1848; was married August
26, 1886, and died at her home in
Dalton, May 2, ''1899, after a
brief illness.
She was a devoted Christian
and a member of Good Hope
church. ——
We are not left without evi
dence as to her acceptance with
God. During the last hours of
her struggles with mortality, she
was praising God and said she
was ready and willing to go when
God saw fit to take' her. “The
death of His saints is precious in
the„sight of the Lord.” We can
justly say that for a number of
yearn, as a follower of her meek
and lowly Savior, she was an hon
or to her church.
This most estimable lady pos
sessed many noble and excellent
qualities of mind and heart. 'She
was dearly loved and highly es
teemed for her exalted character,
and the many kind and charitable
deeds which illumined her pure
life, and which soothed and com
forted many weary hearts. It is
ever a sad thought to know that
a lovely character has passed away
to the silent land of sleepers, but
grieved hearts are comforted by
the assurance that those who fol
low in the foot-steps of Jesus the
golden cord of life is only severed
in this world to be taken up again
in eternal bliss.
Her death has cast a gloom of
sadness over this community—
where the gentle voice and be-
nigning face was a source of pleas
ure to her many friends and a
happiness to the devoted husband
—whose beloved image, on mem
ory’s wall, is set in pearls of love,
and the remembrance of the sweet
voice, now hushed, comes back,
like music from harps of living
melody.
We have lost another one of
our true and faithful friends, but
in no* wise comparable to the loss
which her sad husband feels, when
daily realizes her absence from
once happy home. To him
we would say:
“Weep not for her! Her mem’ry is the
shrine,
Of pleasing thoughts, soft as the scent
of flowers,
Calm as on windless eve, the sun’s de
cline,
Sweet as the song of birds among the
bowers;
Rich as a rainbow with its hues of light,
Pure as the moonshine of a summer
night.”

As Simpson Sees It.
I am glad that there is a pro;
pect of the Philippine war hein
ended and peace being esfcablishei
but it will probably take years t
convince the natives that they ai
a part of America, and learn thei
to conform to our mode of goveri
ment. But is the acquisition c
this new territory morally right
We are one of the greatest nation
on earth—The land of the brav<
the home of the free.” W
fought more desperately and ui
der more adverse circumstance
•
than the Philippines to free ou:
selves from English rule. Th
main issue of " our civil war wa
slavery, and many of our norther
expansionists are descendants c
the most rabid abolitionists, an
yet we are, in one sense, tiying t
enslave a whole nation, buying
them and shooting them into sut
mission. The idea seems to be t
civilize and christianize them b;
killing about half. Then, I sup
pose, there will be an army o
politicians of the reconstruction
carpetbag stripe go over to fil
their pockets and govern the poo
devils. Of course there will have
to be missionaries sent. Well,
there is no objection to mission
aries. As a general thing they do
noble work; but I advocate the
ideas of our old friend, a distin
guished physician, who said he
was willing to contribute to all
church work, except foreign mis
sions ; that when he saw our own
people, thoroughly civilized and
christianized, and an end to so
much crime, then he would be
ready to help foreign missions.
There is at present a much more
serious and difficult problem con
fronting the American people, es
pecially of the south, than the dis
position of either the Cuban or
Philippine question, and that is
the racial question. No matter
what is said to the contrary, the
great majority of the Negroes
have a secret, intense hatred for
the whites. This bitter hatred
was instilled into their minds by
“ their Gods,” the northern carpet
baggers just after the war, and
those same inspired political trick
sters and montebanks are greatly
responsible for the condition of af
fairs and feelings between the
races today.
With all the advantages of pub
lic schools and liberal education,
mostly granted them by the hard
earned taxes of the whites, crime
among them- increases. The old
ante-bellum darkies are fast disap
pearing and their influence with
them. Among the majority of the
younger race a smattering of an
education seems only to make
them adepts in crime, and the
most horrible punishment that can
be inflicted does not deter them
from committing the crimes that
Sam Hose was burned at the
stake for. Infidel Ingersoll and
his ilk may rip and rant, hut as
long as that crime is committed,
just as surely will lynchings follow.
I see the war department is
considering the enlistment of Ne
gro soldiers for service in the
Philippines, and some think that
might bring about intermarriages
with the natives, and finally in
duce the Negroes generally to im
migrate to that country. Well,
it might be a good ucheme, but one
of my greatest desires is to see
every Negro in the United States
comfortably established in the
New England States among those
who uphold and approve of any
damnable crime committed in the
south. S. A. R.
