Dr. Gibb’s solution of the negro
problem, as published in yesterday’s
Times Enterprise, was quite gen
erally discussed yesterday, especially
among the colored population. Some
ot them thought well of the plan,
while others were of the opinion that
this country was good enough for
them. It is a very grave question
whether the negro would be better off
iu Africa than in this countiy. From
all accounts Africa is uot a very
•V-sirab-e place to live. No where,
perhaps, certainly uot in the north,
are there more favorable surroundings
lor the negro to make a living than
right here iu the south. It is his
natural home. It is very question
able whether many would accept the
offer ol the government to send them
to Africa freo ol charge.—Daily T.-E.

a good silver dollar. Jarrett did not
examine the dollar at the time, but
next day discovered that it was span,
ous. He then sought Deputy Mar
shal Hurst and told him that he had
received the dollar from Americus
Major, and gave as his reason for
being so positive that he only did a
small business, and that the dollar he
iretired irom the old woman was the
only obo he took in that day.
“The deputy went to the o'd wo
man and asked heir where she got the
money. She told him that abe re
ceived it from a Hr. Vaughn in pay
ment for her aervicea. The deputy
found Ur. Vaughn, who is near
sighted and old, and asked him if he
gave the woman Ihe dollar. He re
plied that he did, but did not know
that it was spurious, as he was near
sighted.
“Vaughn told the deputy that he
received the dollar from a young man
in his employ named Andrew Uilton.
When Milton was seen he said, that
he bad received the money for some
chickens that he eold in ThoBusville,
but said he knew who parsed it on
him. When asked to tell who it was
he refused to say, and the deputy
could not get him to tell.

Now, instead ot breaking ns op, it
looks that we might make money
ont of the operation, to say nothing
of a large trade we would get from
Africa Money or no money, trade
or no trade, we would evidently do a
great and gtorious work by separating
the two races.
I will now offer some reason why
the negroes should and will go.
Freedom is the most desirable ot all
thing*? as such, we find mankind ever
ready to do whatever he can to ob
tain freedom. The negroes are be
ginning to recognize the fact that they
are not entirely free, nor never can
be in this country; that they most,
as long as they remain here, be ruled
and governed by the whites. That
vrill go whenever we are ready to
help them, which we should do at
for the longer we put it off the
more it will cost us. Not only that,
but if we put it off too long, some
thing terrible may come of it.
Another war over the negro would be
terrible indeed!. It is evident that
the two races are farther apart to
day than ever before* net withstand
ing we have spent millions of dollais
trying to educate them up Ufa stand
ard where the two races conld live
in peace and harmony.
Sensible negroes are beginning to
recognize this fact, and fear the result.
It will only be necessary for the
Government to employ a v few good,
able men to work the thing up on
bath sides; show the negro* s their
interest £q going back to Africa, a
country where they can make a living
with less effort than anywhere else in
the world, and show the whites their
interest in raising the means necessa
ry to lend them back. Iu selecting
men for this work, it will be necessa
ry to take them from both races, as
well as both political parties, so as to
keep it out of party politics, and make
it a joint work of the two races.
It would be a good work for the
chorcbes of the country, both white
and black, of all denominations, for
it is evident that God never intended
two races of peop’e made as far apart
as the Caucasians and Africans to
ever become one people. We com
mitted a great crime in bringing the
black man to this country.. It has
proved to be a curse from the begin
ning' to the present. In the first
place, it destroyed the peace and
harmony of our country; we fussed
and quarreled over the African slave
trade for more than two hundred
yean. Finally after spending mil
lions of dollars the trade was sup
pressed; it was then slavery and
abolitionism which eo divided the north
and sonth that nothing but war would
do. We fought for four long yeais
over the negro. In the mean time
he was set free, but the fuss is stillon,
and the negro is still in it It is now
the white and black man, between
whom the fuss will ever continue
while the two remain together,
such it wonld be wise in both to agree
separate as early as possible. The
white man should commence at once
make amends for the crime com
mitted in bringing the black man to this
country, by sending him back where
came from, and assist him in get
ting a start in his own country. In
this way we will be able to restore
peace and harmony to the whole
country, and do away with sectional
prejudice, and make one peop'e of the
north and south—and it may be the
means of christianizing the whole of
Africa. Heretofore, everything said
and written upon this subject has
fallen like a dead letter, not that we
have not recognized the subject of the
greatest importance, but that we have
had so much trouble and excitement
growing out of the war that we have
not been able to discuss the negro
upon his own merits. But now that
we have been trying for nearly thirty
years to become one people, as h
were, and find ourselves frather apart
than ever before, it is certainly high
time we should take such steps as will
enable ns to settle the question per
manently. The main thing to do is
agree to do it, and go about it
without further delay. The longer
we delay, the more trouble we will
have in accomplishing what we de
sire, for there is no mistake of the
fact that the two races are growing
apart.
While the whites are preparing the
way and means, the negroes should
organize African Emigration Associa
tions throughout the country. When
thoroughly organized, they will be
able to appeal through their national
organization to the Government for
such assistance as they may wish; in
fact, they will be able to treat as a
race of people with the Government
just as one nation treats with another.
In tiua way some general plan of ac
tion may be agreed upon that will be
bindjng upon both sides.

Appeal to Pharaoh.” Everybody

How Advertising Pays.
The Cuthbert Liberal-Enterprise,
in speaking of the pamphlet devoted
to the advantages aud resources^!
Randolph .county, makes some good
points.
- Oufcontemporary says that Florida,
once thepooreststate in the union, has
been built up-by advertising. Her once
cheap lands are now valuable and her
people are prosperous. Thomasville,
fifteen years ago, was Only an average
South Georgia town, but last year
northern tourist left half a million dol
lars there, and within the lastfive years
more than $r,ooo,ooo of outside cap*
ital has been invested in Thomas coun
ty. A home market has been treated,
employment given to labor and the
rate of taxation has decreased as taxa
ble values of property have increased.
All of this is the direct result of
town andj county advertisings This
policy pays and it should be tried on a
larger scaleJ>y our state.—Constitu
tion.
Yes; sir, town and county advertis
ing pays, in fact any kind of adver
tising pays, and our people realize this
fact, as all progressive people should.
The city council of Thomasville has
but recently appropriated one thou 1
sand dollars to be expended in adver
tising this summer, and it will be
money well spent. Advertise judi
ciously, “keep everlastingly at it,” and
good results are sure to follow. This
has been demonstrated a thousand
times.

A Beautiful Piece of Work.
Have you seen the new counter
that was placed in the office of the
Thomasville Exchange and Banking
Company yesterday? If you haven’t
you should drop in and inspect it.
It is a beauty, but the prettiest part
of the business is it was made right
here at home and made out of Geor
gia pine. The work was done by the
Thomasville Variety Works, of this
city. It is made of selected curly
and plain pine, highly polished aud
artistically finished, and would be au
ornament to any office in the country.
There is no use sending off to have
work of this character done, for it can
be executed just as well and just as
cheap right here at home, and the
money ia spent with your own people.
Always patronize home industry.

Although -Mr. Levy is now a resident
of New York he still retains a large
business interest here, and he is a!«»
