“The Inside Track.”
This inimitable and charming play
was rendered Tuesday evening at the
opera house by the Oliver Byron
troupe. We put it not too strong
when saying that no play, this sea*
son, has been received with more
favor. From the moment when the
curtain rolled up, disclosing the first
scene, to its last drop, the audience
never lost interest The scenic dis
plays and effects, the tragic situa
tions, the rolickxng humor, the really
fine acting throughout, all combined,
elicited round after round of applause
Oliver Byron, as Harry Denbigh, is a
first-class actor, while Miss Kate
Byrou, as Jerry Twaddle, captiavated
the entire audience. Fred Warren,
as Jim, showed a variety of talent, all
of the highest order, which won for
him generous applause whenever he
appeared. His role was played to
perfection. Harry Saylor, as Slade,
played the hypocrite and scoundrel
so well, that every one, while admir
ing his acting, loathed the oily ras-
Bluff John Foster was a favo
rite with the audience. Miss Benn,
as Vinnie Foster, was charming in
manners and person. “Snow Drop,’»
little Marguerite Fields, was a juve
nile prodigy. She has commenced
the profession early, and already dis
plays an aptitude for it, which will
make her a star.
The fire scene was terribly realis
tic, bursting out on every side, and
from the cellar, where Jerry was hid
ing his gold; the tragic rescue of the
rag boy by his friend; the beatinS
down of the door, all combined to
make the scene one which will not be
soon forgotten.
Bob Balfour, Charley Ohl, Will
Taylor and other veteran firemen pres
ent, could scarcely be restrained from
rushing on the stage to assist in putting
out the fire.
Mr. Byron and Miss Byron were
called before the curtain several times
in response to the tumultuous applause.
To sum up: It was one of the best
plays/of its kind, ever seen in Thom-
asville, and should Byron come this
way again, he will be given a rousing
house.

One of the moat devoted and best
posted men in the Methodist ministry
in Georgia is Rev. J. 0. A. Clark. He
is now presiding elder of a large dis
trict in Middle Georgia, and Ms report
of how the. negro problem is solving
itself in that neighborhood is astound
ing and alarming. Nor is the state of
things confined to his district. We are
assured by ibis active and- earnest
preacher and worker that bis observa
tion tallies with the evidence brought
by ministers from other parts of the
state. This goes to show that the
blacks in Georgia are eagerly seeking
and securing education for their chil
dren, while tbe whites are indifferent;
that the schooling of tbe negro has
progressed beyond the three months’
term given by the state, and that
through private benefactions of North
ern men and societies, schools are
building up in the villages and country
districts of Georgia open to negro chil
dren nine months out of the year.
THEY CRAVE EDUCATION.
But the most remarkable thing
about this revelation is that ihe blacks
crave their schooling, while the
whites in many cases seem absolute
ly indifferent to their advantages and
their needs. The negro bishops and
their church ministers have passed
the word of command along the black
lines “educate! ’ This they are doing
with a vengence. They do not hes
itate, says Dr. Claxk, to take their
children from the fields and place
them on the bench. Fingers that
are used to picking cotton are now
employed on the slate and pencil.
rare sight in that section, says
Dr. Clark, to see negro children at
work in the fields, where they were
plentiful a few years ago. And they
are learning fast. They have what
Dr. Clark calls “teachableness” to a
remarkable degere. They are docile
and easily managed. Accustomed
to obey they are as clay in the hands
of the teachers.
SOLDIERS AND SCHOLARS.
They have not the individuality of
the white chiIdreri u nor their creating
genius, but they do have the materials
which goes to make soldiers and
scholars. The performances of black
children ia the high schools of the
state have been commented upon, and
the progress in the primary grades
throughout Georgia is said to be large
ly satisfactory. So strong is the thirst
for learning among the former slaves,
Dr. Clark states, that the man who does
not send his children to school is at
once spotted and placed under a social
and church ban. The ministers exe
crate him, the members sfiun him or
use their efforts to force him into com
pliance. The ono among them whfl
votes a Democratic ticket is less an
outcast than the man who refuses to
fcbool his obildreD. Tbe negroes have
been studying their own condition
closely. They have realized by this
time that politics and Presidents have
little to do with their own improve
ment.
CULTURE BRINGS INFLUENCE.
They recognize that culture bring3
wealth and influence, and that tho edn-
catcd man, whether white or black,
stands a better chance of getting along
than the untutored. So they are crowd
ing the school housei, and arc actually
living on bread and water in many a
Georgia district., that their children
may bo sustained at school.
Thu condition cannot be. viewed
with regret, for education a worthy
object for any race or cfZ’ss, and the
craving for knowledge among the
blacks b pathetic and raggestive. But
tho dark part of the picture, according
to Dr. Clark, is that the whites are not
aroused as to the importance of training
their children. Thu side of the sketch,
if true, b dbtressing. The state pub
lic seboob, says Dr. Clark, coatinuo but
three months, and last just long enough
to break up private schools and unset
tle the tuition of the young and grow,
ing mind. Many white families have
moved to cities, admonbhed by the
insufficient term3 in the country
dbhc-arteccd at the indifference cf their
neighbors in joining them and patting
up better academies.
IN THE CITIES.
In Georgia cities the school system
sustained by local taxation is broad
and expanrive. But people who do
not leave their farms, and who cannot
afford to 6eud their children off to
school most suffer. Too many of the
white residents, Dr. Clark contends,
are standing in their own light. They
list that they cannot spare their
children from the plantation. In some
instances they do not avail themselves
of the short term. They do not seem
to be alive to the great necessity of the
hour, and is a ooosequence must fall
behind in the race for knowledge.
For there is no royal rood to learning
and her sulbjec s arc not selected by
favor among any nee or ebsS.
Dr. Clark calls attention to another
unfortunate feature of the case, which
is that mu j white familk* havo left
the farm and flocked in the d&g,
where the children at a tender age
put to woik In the factories, shutout
from all chances cf further intellectual

idlen ss*.
"WORKED UP OYER IT.
Dr. Clark is naturally worked up
over this matter. He declares that in
hu belief if the eensus of white and
black children, born since the war,
could be taken in some sections
Georgia, the whites would show, in
proportion to population, greater illit
eracy than the blacks.
Thb statement, if true, b astound
ing. We have not the data before us.
We do not accept thb as a fact, but it
b significant,if there really is any doub t
about it at all Dr. dark is an earn
est and active preacher and ‘teacher.
He has been a college professor; is
learned, pious and a close observer.
He has delivered addresses embodying

above, and has spoken these things at
conferences of hb church and from the
pulpit among hb people. He has fear
lessly given what he believed the facts
and the duties of the hour required.

He has not spared the feelings nor tho ^ to j. N. Hopkins in

BETTER SCHOOLS.
His plea to his own race for better
schools and more enthusiasm on the
subject, coming in this guise, is pow
erful indeed. Hb address will short
ly be printed in pamphlet form. His
appeal sounds like a voice crying in
the wilderness. He has taken the
material of Dr. Hay good and gone
several lengths ahead of them.
We cannot and do not accept all
of Dr. Clark’s premises. But we re
spect his zeal and ardor. The sub
ject is one that can bear revival.
Dr. Curry has already declared that
unless the white man in the south can
preserve his supremacy by means of
superior enlightenment he cannot
preserve it at all, and should not.
Now, if a question of race pride and
ascendency, the position of our
children aud the dominance of the
Anglo-Saxon race does not succeed
in bringing us up to realizing the vital
need of more schooling and better
schooling, nothing will. We cannot
strike down the colored schoolmaster.
We would not if we could. Let them
enjoy their Slater and Hand funds
ana a fair share of public taxation.
But let the whites tee to it that their
own children enjoy the best advan
tages—even if the state debt is in
creased to do it. Dr. Clark does not
hesitate to advocate a compulsory edu
cation law. After this appeal, it
seems to us no white man would need
further conviction or coercion.
