Savannah. Ga., March 8.—“Tho In
flux of immigrants Into this country,
for the purpose of becoming laborers,
Is probably tho wisest measure that
can be adopted for the salvation of
tho negro. It is tho only hope of tho
negro; tho only solution of the race
problem—If ono exists.”
Theso words were spoken by Bishop
H. M. Turner, of Atlanta, yesterday,
when asked by a representative of the
Morning News what effect tho immi
gration of laborers would have upon
the negro racu. “The negro cannot
live In the country with the white
people, for thoro Is no bond of sym
pathy between them, and their life
la becoming more apd more unbear
able every day.
“The white people are pleased to
consider the negroes competitors
when they are mere bubbles on the
surface of a great ocean. Under such
conditions the negroes cannot survive,
and It will be better for thorn If the
immigrants enter this country annd
take their employment from them,
compelling the negroes to leave and
build a country of theli own.”
_ Anarchy- Would -fjftipj? ~~
'When asked if ho thought the ne
groes capablo of building a nation of
their own, Bishop Turner said ho did. can ;
not consider the negro a nation build

ther stated the best thing the white
man could do for the negro would be
to place him back in slavery, for then
there would be an object in protecting
him.
“The negroes fared better and lived
better when slavery existed than they
do now. I remember a number of
cases In the old times when the slave
owners engaged in duels to the death
caused by ono of the parties mistreat
ing a slave. The white man respect
ed and protected the negro as a slave,
but he has no use for him as he is at
the present day.
“Tho negro,” ho said, “has not the
sense to command the respect of the
whites. It is an unfortunate race,
and when one acquires tho knowledge
of how to read and write, instead of
employing these great acquirements
for his better education, he only reads
things of a sensational nature. The

be possible for tho negro to stay and
live with tho whites, but the prejudice
against them is growing stronger ev
ery day, and has increased 1,000 per
cent, in the last twenty years.
There Is no hope that tho preju
dice will diminish, for it is instilled
Into tho mind of the sons by the fath
er, and that son In turn will ‘hand It
down.' ”
Illshop Turner saja h'* Is convinced
the negroes would leave this country
and go to Africa If the government
would operate a line of steamers di
rect from this country to Africa, and
charge a nominal fee. As it Is, they
have to go to Now York and take tho
steamer for Liverpool and thence to-
Africa, crossing the ocean twlco to
reach their destination.
‘‘This they are unable to do,” he
satd^ “for the avorage negro only
makes enough money to live on, and
the faro for such a trip could not bo
saved out of nls earnings. In fact,
do not see how they make enough to
live on in Savannah, for there are
too many here, but I suppose this is
due to the fact that a large number
of them have come from the country
to the city to secure protection."

of tho city.
Fully twenty thousand persons were
upon tho streots when the mystic pa
rade passed over tho appointed route,
and the various features wore cheer
ed to tho echo. Every one was im
bued with tho carnival spirit, and
when tho identity of tho king was
nmdo known ond the queen crowned
at tho coronation ball, at the opera
house, the cheering and enthusiasm
was deafening. •
T. A. Jonnlngs, ono of the most
prominent citizens of tho city, was
king of the carnival. When his smil
ing features were revealed there was
a hush and then a deafening
plause. The crowning of Miss Elise
Chlpley met with equal enthusiasm
Tho mystic parade was magnificent,
comprising twelve floats with three
bands, two of which were from the
navy yard and forts. The visitors
to the city numbered over five thou
sand persons.
