THE ATHENS BANNER: ATHENS, GEORGIA, ANUAR 14, 1890
the negro and the south.
The past few months there seems
to be an epidemic among the negroes
to shift their quarters, equalled only
by the years following the war, when
Cnflee thought the best way to test
and assert his freedom was to quit
the locality where his old master
abided. Thousands of del tided
blacks were beguiled into exodust
ing to the West, where a majority of
them fell victims to the malaria and
climate. Every day we read of train
loads of deluded negroes moving to
new homes in distant States, under
the belief that they arc mistreated
at home. To show the inconsistency
of these exodusters, North Carolina
blacks seek greater political freedom
*n Georgia, while the Georgia suf
frage slinger thinks he can be best
protected in Mississippi or Arkansas
The same rule applies to South Car
olina and other Southern States.
In these changes of abode by our
black population, they simply jump
from the frying pan into the fire.
There is no marked difference in the
characteristics of the Southern peo
ple, and the negro, will find the same
protection in one locality as the oth
er. If he will so deport himself as
to win the good will and respect of
his white neighbors, he will be just
as safe in Jesup, Ga., or Barnwell,
S.C., as in any spot on our globe. It
he expects to find some localilj'
where he can consort with outlaws,
shoot down white men in 'Sold blood,
associate on terms of equality with
this race, and place black heels on
white necks, he will find that land as
visionary as did Ponce de Leou his
mythical Fountain of Everlasting
Youth.
Theio is one thing the negro must
learn, and the sooner he does so the
better for his peace and safety: This
is a white man’s government, and
the Anglo-Saxon intends to rule it.
There is not a spot on the American
continent where the inferior race will
ever again be allowed to dominate
over the superior. The negro will
be given his every right and ample
protection so long as he remains iu
his proper sphere ; but the day he
attempts to get control of the gov
ernment, or trespass upon the do
main of the white man, there wil]
be trouble. This rule applies as
much to Mississippi, Louisiana or
Arkansas as it do®8 to Georgia, or
South and North Carolina. The
preservation of the supremacy of the
white race over the black is an un
written law, and to attempt to vio
late it can only result in punishment
to the negro. Every soldier in the
country can never again place the
pro in power over the whites of
the South.

GEN- SHERMAN ON THE NEGRO-
The St. Louis Republic printed re
cenlly a letter written by Gen. W. T.
Sherman at Atlanta, in 1864, in
which the following passage occurs :
“ I don’t see why we can’t have some
sense about oegrixs, as well as about
horses, mult-s, iron, copper, etc.—but say
“nigger” in the United States, and from
Sumner to Attorney K- lly, the whole
country goes crazy. I never thought my
n*gro letter would get into the papers, but
since it has, f lay low. 1 like niggers well
enough as niggers, but when fools and
idiots try’lo make niggers better than our
selves, 1 have an opinion.”
The above utterances by the “hero
of the march through Georgia,” and
the brother of John Sherman, and
wLich was committed to writing
more than a year after the publica
tion of President Lincoln’s Eraanci*.
pation Proclamation, has naturally
attracted much attention everywhere
in the country 7 , and has been the
subject of general comment—outside
of Republican newspapers. Some
STILL THE SOUTH IS SOLID
The following dispatch in the New
York Herald shows that the effort to
build up a white republican party in
the South is doomed to failure. This
is just as we expected. A party
that seeks to force upon our people
incompetent negro officers, and place
the superior race under the political
domination of the inferior, can
never hope to get a foothold here.
The name of “republican” acts as a
political emetic on every representa
tive Southerner, and President Har
rison had as well try to establish an
ice factory in hades as a respectable
republican party south of Mason &
Dixon’s line.
The Herald’s dispatch says:
“The white Republican Tariff League of
Alabama, a political movement oig«D z-d
last April with the avowed purpose ot
breaking the solid South, is dead. In-tant
recognition of the Administration and the
erpuKican majority in Congress alone can
save it lrom utter dissolution and speedy
oblivion.
The leaders of the movement announced
that they would exclude the negro from
the party council cuambers and nominat
ing conventions, and this would bring iaio
the party thousands of Protection Demo
crats. This, they said, would seud the
race issue to the rear and divide the two
great parties in the South on the tariff issue
only.
Nothingoflihe kind hasjbeen accomplished
Tne colored biother refused to be sat upon
and Protection Democrots, with few ex
ceptions, quietly ignored the movement.
Tne meeting ot colored Republicans, held
here last week to protest against the con
firmation of several members of this league
who have been appoint'd to good places
by President Hauison, was inspired by
white Republicans who opposed the league.
The re olutions adopt' d, which I tele
graphed to the Herald at the time, were
forwarded to the ill.-ct. Ail Alabama ap
pointments where the parties were noi
membersof this league,have beenconfirined,
while all oihers have been held up.
Several important positions have been
held by membersof the league, but the in
dications are that they will not be con
firmed. In the meantime no meetings of
the league can be held.
Several plana f>.r breuking the solid S-fiith
have been dropped, and those who led the
organization of tire movement now declare
they know nothing about it.
g ■
noracewar'in the south.
We have not the slightest fear of
there ever being a general race war
in the South, and neither does any
one else who lives among and under
stands the negro. That there will
be occasional outbreaks and blood
shed we do not doubt ; but they will
not be more frequent,and not neat-so
disastrous and bloody, as the labor
riots in the North. The negro is not
aggressive, and easily controlled and
cowed. The whites of the South
are fully able to cope with and keep
him in subjection. As a race, the
negro is kind and peaceful, and if let
alone would live forever in harmony
with his former master. But there
are mean and turbulent men in both
races, whose business it is to stir up
strife, and to these arc- due all the
trouble that has occurred in the
South since the war. If a few had
and lawless negroes can be driven
out of each county—and there are
while men, too, in the same boat-
such a thing as race difficulties would
be unknown. Investigate every dis
turbance between the whiles and
blacks, and you are sure to find at
the bottom one or more bad and law
less men.
He has always been accustomed to
ruling his dependents, and would
iive in constant strife with any other
race than the African. To move off
the negro and substitute in his stead
foreign labor, would be for our land*
owners to relinquish their posses
sions to a more thrifty, saving and
industrious people, and iu time be*,
come tenants or laborers on the fields
they once owned. The negro is the
best labor we can possibly have; and
let our people get ,to work and try
and train him into as good a citizen as
possible. Bear with his weaknesses
the best we can, and while keeping
him in check, at the same time win
his confidence by justice and kind
ness.
As an illustration of the way in
which the two races can agree when
left alone, we have only to refer to
the situation in and around Athens.
It has been years since the slightest
disturbance has taken place, and the
kindest and best feeling prevails.
The people of this section do not
take any stock iu the movement to
send away the negro. We arc en
tirely satisfied with him as a laborer,
and he certainly suits the South
much better thau foreigners, who do
not understand our customs. The
negro is the best and most obedient
peasantry any country ever had. He
doubt having been expressed that 13 as tul1 of fanlts a9 an iso1 '
i
Gen. Sherman ever wrote such a
letter, the paper which first printed
it said, a little later :
“ The Republic vouches for the authen
tic! iy of the letter, and is prepared to de
monstrate it if it should require further de
monstration than the appearance in our
editorial columns of a full and literal copy,
from which only the address was omitted.
This we are entitled to withhold, for'it is
Hot a matter of importance or of public
interest unices Gen. Sbernu.n should at
tempt to deny that he wrote the letter just
as we printed it. Id the event of such a
denial—which we do not anticipate—we
. will convince him that denial is usi less.
We have some reason to believe, moreover,
that Gen. Sherman’s real views have
changed in no essential particular.”
Gen. Sherman has made no at
tempt to deny the letter, or any part
of it, and there is no doubt but that
those were the sentiments of Gen.
Sherman at that time, and they have
undergone no change. In a letter
written from his headquarters before
Atlanta in 1864, and which was
printed at the time in some of the
Western newspapers, Gen. Sherman
said in substance : “ D—n the nig
ger ; we are not fighting for him,”
and more to the same purport.
, JtojThcseutterances will be excellent*
literature for the republicans to
stitdy when they attempt to eoact a
bill for the South.
THE BEST COUNTRY ON THE GLOBE-
This section of Georgia is without
doubt the finest country in the world,
and our people are fast developing it.
Here you can raise with profit any
cereal known to our continent. It is
the natural cotton belt, and under
careful tillage this is acknowledged
to be the best paying money crop
grown. Our climate is delightful,
water pure, health perfect, and lands
susceptible to being brought up to
the highest state of fertility-. The
blight of slavery—that denuded our
lauds of timber and swept the soil
from the fields—is fast disappearing
under the hand of time and careful
tillage. The country is to-day many
times better than it was in 1S66, and
each year sees a marked improve
ment. In the next two decades the
South will be the gaiden spot of our
continent. The march of progress
and improvement is perceptible on
even’ hand. Waste places are re
claimed—fields terraced and washes
filled—land once too thin to sprout
peas now produces the most abun
dant crops of cotton or grain—infe
rior breeds of stock have given place
to th3 finest strains—and, *in fact)
look where you will signs of progress
are visible. Within the past year
three branch railways have been
built around Athens—the Smith-
onia, the Lexington and the White
Plains roads. These short arteries
of commerce show conclusively the
development and prosperity of our
section. The day is not far distant
when von will see these short line
railroads penetrating every neigh
borhood.
Our people are foolish to seek any
other country than their own, with a
hope of bettering their condition.
Nowhere else can they find so many
advantages as they enjoy in Middle
and Northeast Georgia. Here an in
dustrious farmer can make all that he
can gather, and what more can man
desire ? We have no sudden changes
from extreme cold or heat—our cli
mate is mild and balmy and free
from the blizzards of the northwest
or the sultry sun-rays of the tropics.
With us epidemics of death-dealing
diseaso arc uuknown, and while cu-
joyipg the independence of rural life
our farmers are in close communica
tion with the trafic, refinement and
conveniences of thi3 advanced age,
A man in this section of Georgia can
select his occupation, and a broad
field is open before him. We have
water power to turn the machinery of
the world, mineral wealth of every
kind, and new territory to open up
and develop.
Our people do not appreciate the
blessings a kind Providence has be>-
stowed upon them. We should be
the happiest and most prosperous
people on the globe. Nature has
been most lavish in the bestowal of
gifts upon us, and it is our own fault
if we do not take advantage of them.
J UDGE PORTER KIN G.
A Gentleman Well Known Here, Dies Last
Week in Atlanta.
Last Friday night, Judge Porter
King, of Alabama, died in Atlanta, af
ter a serious illness. He was known by
many here, his second wife having been
Miss Lumpkin; thus making him tlio
brother-in-law of Dr. Lumpkin and
Mrs. 1 R. R. Cobb, botii of this eity.
Many friends here will regret to learn
of his sad and almost untimely death.
Judge King was one of the most emi
nent. men and jurists of Alabama, of
which State lie was a native. He grad
uated at eighteen at the University of
Alabama, and wont thence to the legis
lature; and afterwards responding to
the dread call of war, was conspicuous
for his gallantry as Captain of the Ma
rion Light Infantry. Returning from
the war lie engaged in the active pur
suit of his profession, until some years
ago when lie was compelled, by ill
health, to adopt a farmer’s life. Judge
King was a prominent man in church,
as well as In other affairs. Be was a
member of the Baptist church, and was
President of the Board of Trustees of
Judson Institute, as well as Vice Presi
dent of the Florence educational com
pany. lie was a member of tho.Knig'nts
Templar, and esteemed the Order second
only to liis church. In his death, Ala
bama loses a prominent citizen, the
South a valiant champion, and the
church of God a firm aud consistent ad
herent.

ger. If you give one an inch he will

The negro is too thriftlless ever
to acquire tlitft power which money
gives. They are as dependent upon
their employers as an infant on its
mother. In this they do not advance
one stop. In fact, their extravagance
increases rather than diminishes,

A Sensational Report About an old student
corrected.
Who does non remember the genial
Frank Curry who was a member of the
Law scliooi at the University three
years ago? He was known to every
citizen and was the most popular fellow
in college. The boys all loved him for
his ehceffnl disposition, his clever jokes
and his^/nafiy faculties of making friends
wherever lie was thrown.
Some days ago a report was sent out
by the reporters in Birmingham that
Frank Curry had been killed in that
eity by a freight train running over
him, and stated that he had a letter of
recognition in his pocket from Mr.
Grady at the time of his death: This
report was published in the Banner as
well as the Atlanta Constitution.
Mr. O. H. Arnold, who is a family
connection of Mr. Curry, informs us
that the report unfounded and says that
Mr. Curry is still alive. He says that;
his brother went to Birmingham imme
diately upon learning of Curry’s death
and found that there was no truth in the
report.
This will be learned with gratifica
tion by his many friends in Athens.
There was never a more genial nor
more popular student at the University
than Frank Curry.

The Suicide of John Ridgeway.—
Mr. J. A. Ridgeway, of Oconee county,
the father of the young man who re

mistake about his son being under the
influence of whisky at the time of the
commission of his rash act. He was
not even drinking, as both his sister,
Mrs. McGahce and Hon. II. N. Carith-
ers will testify. The young man ap
peared in a very despondent humor,
and his mind was doubtless affected.
He had kind and devoted parents, who
are plunged into the deepest grief ami
have the sympathy of the entire coun
ty. John told Mr. McGahee that he
intended to kill himself, hut no one
had any idea that he would carry out
the rash threat. Home think that he
