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.” Bessie Mae Fixley.

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.
