to|the Southern women. ... .
First, let me ask you if you do not think
this country would be better off without
the negroes than with them ?
Please think of all the circumstances
before answering this question. Think,
for instance, of the troubtB you havo with
vour colored cooks, nurses, maids, etc.
How many of us have any assurance that
when they cook one meal they will be on
hand to prepare the next?
Yet in spite of all these annoyances, I
am afraid there are some Southern women
who are weak-minded enough to say we
would be ruined without the negro ser-
vants. • ja
I would like to know where your inde
pendence has gone to that you w ll meekiy
say that you cannot exist without the Ai
rman, or any other race except the pure
Caucasian. And I believe if the question
was fairly put to the women who have
grown up sinoe the war, they would very
sensibly answer that, there are many rea
sons why it would be better to separate
the two races. , . .
One reason is, that the frequent
ADaleville Miss., lady desires tojohtain

Xorth Carolina authoress. Please answer
