THE IMMORTAL
NEGnO QUESTION
liY J. 8. WARD. JR.
Editors Times Enterprise:
Notwithstanding the fact that, after
eaoh election in the south, the press pro
claims to the world that the negro ques
tion is settled, and that the white pri
mary is the modus operandi ot the whole
business, yet there U never a question
of importance that arises that the ghost
of “Nigger Domination’* does not arise
from the dead and stalk abroad to ter
rorize the unthinking. It pats us bill
in every question—local, state and na
tional. Just now it is being worked for
all it is worth in this new conuty move
ment, both for and against. I can see
how and why it is used in national cam
paigns to becloud the issues involved,
bat I had not dreimed of its being
worked so vigorously for and again-t a
new conuty movement.
It is a pity that the Boutelles and tin
Hardwicks can’t persuade the rest of
the congressmen to join hands aud un
do the mistake of the reconstruction
ists. It w ould be better for the negro,
and bet ter for the white man. But I
Broad and Jackson Streets. 5$
started to writo about the negro in the
new county movement.
As I said both are working it. It re
minds me of the old ante-bellnm negro
1 rhyme that reads this way: “Jnber
1 dis, and Jnber dat," Jnber kill de yal-
| lor cat.” By a little change it would
j read tills way: “Nigger this aud Nigger
I that,” “Niggorkill the Grady cat,” or
I visa versa. “Nigger this aud ulg*er
that,” “Nigger save the Gredy cat.”
Now Mr. Editor, to my mind there is
morodemagougery than anything else in
this springing of the uegro question
in this local issue, L-h’s examine in the
light of reason aud common senso. For
iUHtAn<*n hear the wail, not from the
isltud* of the sen. but from the cultured
city of Boston, the editor raises tlw
Macedonian cry. ‘Savo us from tlie
! negro domination.’ Tliisedito.’j (Iroam
| that almost terminated in a frightful
n•ghtraare is nil t lie more interesting
‘ from the fact, that it conies from a dh-
1 t.iot having a majority of negro repab-
; lican voters Yet is one of the most
I solidly ftaroouratic districts in Thomas
I county, it is amusing to tiiiuk ilia:
bach a scare crow would be set up in
! the district where the negro Ins been
i afraid lo grunt far a score of years uii-
J less Lie gave a certain sound. This buga-
j Loo about the uejro ruling is rot. The
I i net is the more negroes in a seel ion tint
| bigger tli* majority against his party.
I l ake Burke and Dougherty for instance
the uegtoes Have about 5 to l iu popu
lation, ycl they elect no one. it is uu
reasonable to imagine that the lufcnor
African race will rule the sujunior An
glo-Saxon.
Now to the other side of the qaosti ju
The advocates of the new county move-
tio'iits bold*out to the masses the idn*
that by -eocssiou of the territory em
braced iu -Grady cooairy. its citizens
will be rid of a great uegro population
that they have to educate, etc. This is
doubtless « more telling argument with
the masses than it he one on the other
side; yet if the.voter will take the <*aius
to examine the records of the ouuuty
school commissioner he will find that
Collie about pays for what he geta.“ It
is true that he pays less and it is'eqaaity
true tliat lie gets a great deal lein.
So what is the nee of fUuiuig a coon
fight over the new countv. If. (lie -op*
IMmenrs can prove by statistics that it
wil< lie ail iuj icy to the majority of the
people involved iu the contest let theta
dose, or rail off thwdogs. If the aavo-
cate* can prove that (lie new county
will be a bletwing, financially, morally,
and intellect Uklljr let them do sc, or ut
any rate move the. nsue to a higher
plane aud qn.t the negro and the mod
chunking campaign now going on, for
if the present accelerated a rato is main
tained until Jane the grand old conn-
ties of Thomas aud Decatur and the
gallant young conuty of Grady won’t
be known from a stick and dirt chimney
