The shortness, misapprehension, dullness, stupidity and incompetency of my people, are due to the lack of proper training. I etao sh mean that they have not been taught or trained in books. I do not mean that. No! No! I don’t mean that they have not been a pro cess of book training. I mean industrial training. The negro needs educating. His head, heart and hands. A prepared brain will show how to think, and what to think about. Prepared hands how to per form those things which are neces sary to be performed; the heart to obey, first, our Heavenly Father and. the to dodge back and forth along the train yards apparently busy with his business and paying little attention to the negroes, but each time get ting a little closer to them. | Finally he got in good distance of them and, drawing his gun. ordered them to fall In line, which they did. Then he started to drill them to the guard house. Before reaching there, I however, one of the negroes en gaged him in a fight and the other' two ran. ■ He captured the one he was fight ing and carried him to Jasper for confinement in Jail. The negro wore a suit of clothing which is said to have been stolen from Shivers' store. The darkey al so told him where the rest of the stolen goods had been secreted.
