SOLVING THE NEGRO PROBLEM.
There is only one peaceable solu
tion for the negro question in the
South,and that is a disfranchisement
of the blacks. This will take the
race out of politics—their greatest
bane—and remove these people from
the temptation of unscrupulous men,
who seek to control them that their
own selfish ends may be subserved
A disfranchisement would inflict no
njury upon the negro, for he is now
practically debarred from exercising
this privilege, by the action of dem
ocratic nominations and his own ne
glect to pay taxes. Never again will
the Southern people permit the po
litical power of any State to pass
into the control of the negroes, for
the short time they were in power
the public treasuries were ruthlessly
robbed, and the most tyrannical and
outrageous laws enacted. The busi
ness element of the North, as well as
the South, would feel the effects of
such a political change. As a voter,
the negro becomes but the prey of
the violent and most unscrupulous
political tricksters, and he must
shoulder the responsibility of the
acts of his leaders.
For many years past the rights of
the negroes have been protected by
the whites, and this will be done as
fully and justly as were they en
franchised. The race troubles and
bloodshed in the South are all due to
attempts ! to use the blacks to
gain political victories over the
whites. Take from him the privi
lege of voting, and he would be left
to pursue the even tenor of his way,
and become a happy and contented
peasantry.
There will be but little trouble in
disfranchising this race if the South
ern congressmen consent to it, for
the republicans will gladly lend their
aid to a movement that will lessen
representation of the Southern States.
Bui, our people can afford this, to
have such a bone of contention re
moved from their midst, and their
laboring element kept free from dis
turbance. Then a gradual enfran
chisement can be arranged, that per
mita a negro to vote so soon as he
shows himself worthy of this high
trust.
To take this race out of politics
will be a blessing both to him and to
the South.
The tVaco (Tex.) News advances
this argument against a disfran
chisement of the negro, and we ad~
mit that the points are well taken :
“The argument that the constitutional
amendments conferring suffrage upon the
emancipaieJ slaves were ncve p legally
adopted is souud as a matter of fact, but
S
the free list, and in this he should
have the earnest aid and co-opera
tion not only of the Farmers’ Alli
ance, but the support and encourage
ment of every good citizen in the
South, who is opposed to encoura*.
ging trusts and combinations. The
jute trust has offered to supply our
farmers this year with baggiDg at 7
cents per yard; but the Alliance has
no guarantee that when they are
once again fairly in the clutches of
this monopoly that their helpless
condition will not be taken advan
tage of. They know this jute trust
be both selfish and treacherous,
and are wise in refusing to either
treat or trade with them. But Mr.
Stewart has made a move in the
ight direction, and we believe he
ill succeed in his great work.
When jute bagging is placed on the
free list, the trust will be eternally'
crushed, for the cotton planters can
hare the markets of the world to
trade in. It is not jute itself that
the Alliance is fighting ; but the viU
lainous combination of men formed
to rob and extort from them.
how far the high courts have established a
contrarv view by their decisions we do not
know. If the Southern while people de
sire to return to first principles in the mat
ter of negro suffrage they might press the
point of the invalidity of the amendments
and ascertain whether the Northern people
will acc pt it as a settlement of the negro
., - _ . — negro
probl-**» in Southern politics. The South
would at once lose about thirty-five coo
gressmen and as many electors, thus de
stroying the democratic parly as It now
exists and weakening the South so far that
its power would hardly be felt in nationa.
politics* That the North might look with
favor on soch a solution is not at all im
probable, for it would give that section
power to shape the destinies of the South
ern Slates by fsderal laws aDd subject us
in a great measure to its control of our
local affairs. If the South is willing to
yield one-third of i s representation In the
government its the price of negro disfrat -
cbisement and w.ll make this an issue
without other complications, the North can
probably be induced to accept, as at least
a present solution of the question. Tboee
newspapers which advocate this plan
would probably find the greatest opposi-
tioo io the South, where there is certainly
no disposition to p-rfonn a doubie karikari
act by killing the democratic party and de-
P° we r of the South
at one fell blow.”
While it is true that the political
power of the South in National af
fairs would be greatly weakened,
with the negro out of the way it will
not take ns long to unite with the
ss the interests of the two sec
tions are closely alligned. But one
is certain : So long as the ne
gro is made a political factor there
will be trouble and blood-abed, and
danger of a race war. Is it not bet
ter to tranquilize matters, and insure
to the Southern people safety and a
settled and peaceful labor, even if it
be at the sacrifice of our present po-
lilical interests ?

JEFFERSON DAVIS IS NOT DEAD.
“Brick'* Pomeroy, whose paper
the LaCrosse Democrat, was so pop
ular in the South after the war, is
now publishing a monthly in New
York City called Advance Thoughts.
From his last issue we clip the fol
lowing kind words for the old Con
federate Chieftain:
“God pily the narrow-minded soul that
sqetks out its dirly bitterness because the
people of the South love the memory of
Jefferson Davis, lie was always an honest
mao; a frieud of bis people, r< gardiess ol
the menaces and intolerance of those who
were not friendly to the South. Ke never
used his principles as a net in which to
caich fish for market. He was not the in
ventor of the idea that man need not love
a government he could not love, or a peo
ple who believe that a political adminis
tration has the right to punish peop e for
not loving narrow-minded persons who
hale them. Jefferson Davis caine inio
this world as otners come. He loved the
people of the state and localities whose
people he knew, and who menaced -
teresis he sought to protect. Through all
the shocks and years of shocking wars and
all the whirlpools of hate over which bis
life ran, be lived out God’s appointed time,
as Daniel lived in the den of lions that
growled but Were not permitted to lay
claws upon biin or to touch bim with their
teeth. Wise men are satisfied with
the general result of the war, in its libera
tion of slaves and its restoration of the
country. Jefferson Davis did as he thought
to be right; therefore he deserves honor.
He was true to his love for all that por
tion of the country that did not propose to
tramp with iron heel upon the other por
tion. He believed that statesmanship
should supercede the sword and that rea
son is more honorable than iage, fanati
cism and passion, heated by desire to plun'
del* and confiscate. He has passed on to
spirit life, and the South loves bis memory
as it should love, and as the people ol
every patriotic country should and ever
will respect it. Were the people of the
South to forget him, or fail to honor the
man who endured so patiently for their
sake, they in turn would deserve none of
respect or place in the minds of men who
have manhood.
“The cause ibrough which he was cho
sen to lead failed through the errors of
those who planted it, and the numerical
power, but not superior bravery, of those
who contended against it to final victory.
The North has enough to be proud of
and enough to bs ashamed of—without
sullying its reputation for greatness by
hurling cowardly venom upon an honest
man, his memory, and upon those who ad
mire honesty,bravery aDd devotion to beat
frinris.
“Jefferson Dovis will live longer in his
tory, and better, than will any who have
spoken against bim.”
Covcrtedito Judaism.
Montgomery, Ala. January 22.—
[bpecial]—Miss Ella Gaston, of Barbour
county, has been converted to Judaism.
Miss Gaston is a handsome intelligent
young lady about twenty-three years of
age. Her parents are Methodist and
she was reared in that faith. It is now
reported that she will be married soon
to Mr. Abraham Lehman, a young mer
chant of Greenville of Jewish parent-
age and faith. Miss Gaston came to
Montgomery last Saturday. She was

confessing conversion to Judaism she
was confirmed in the faith. She then

KILLED ON A CAR.
Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 21.—[Spe

platform of a South Side street car last
night, fatally stabbing Moses Perry,
the driver, and escaped with his money
box before the passengers knew that
anything unusual had happened. The
car was heavily laden with men and
women, whose first intimation that
anything was wrong was a feeble excla
mation from Perry as be fell against
the door and then to the platform.
Half a dozen men were soon in pursuit
of the murderer, but he was too far in
advance and quickly disappeared in the
darkness.

HIS OPINION OF GEORGIA FARM LANDS.
Uncertain About the Fntnre of the
Black*.
You can visit Niagra Falls every day
for years and always find something
new and interesting. It is the same
with the mammoth farm of Hon. James
M. Smith, in Oglethorpe county. There
is scarcely a month passes but I spend a
day or more with this hospitable gen
tleman, and there is ever something
new and interesting to see. Col. Smith
is not only the largest and most success
ful planter in Georgia, but he is a high
ly educated and intelligent man, with
the clearest brain and soundest judg
ment. He makes a grand success of
whatever he undertakes, and there is
not an office in our republic but
he would fill with credit to himself and
honor to his country. Col. Smith
would make one of the best Governors
Georgia ever knew; but lie has no po
litical aspirations—liis only ambition
being to show to the country wliat can
be accomplished by scientific farming
on our old hills.
Col. Smith is a bachelor, residing in
a neat two-story farm honse at SmTth-
sonia, the name of his place. He seems
entirely content with his lot. but noth
ing delights hm more that to receive
visits from his lady friends, who often
make up parties to spend the day at this
popular bachelor retreat. It is indeed
an interesting sight to inspect this im
mense hive of agricultural industry.
Everything here is on the largest scale,
and several days can be most profitably
and pleasantly spent inspecting the va
rious enterprises, all owned by this one
man.
Col. Smith began farming here after
the war with a capital of less than $500,
and every dollar he possesses was dug
from the soil or made from industries
connected with his farm. No one knows
what Col. Smith is worth today—cer
tainly not less than a quarter of it mil
lion, and his net annual income is saiu
to be near $50,000.
Last year his farm products alone ag
gregated over $100,000. He made be
tween 1,500 and 2,000 bale9 of cotton,
thousands of bushels of grain,
hundreds of tons of hay, and all man
ner of produce raised in this section.
He made 10,000 bushels of corn . from
land he had in wheat and oats. He
owns 250 mules, and every one the
finest that can be bought. He has over
500 head of cattle, and keeps them fat
on hulls from his oil mill. Coi. Smith
was the first man to thus utilize these
hulls,as they w’ere consider! d worthless
and burned. For stock feed he consid
ers them better than shucks.
Last year Col. Smith built and
equipped seven miles of railroad, and
by next winter will extend the line to
Sandy Cross, eight miles further. ne
has bought the rails to build branch
roads to different parts of his farm, and
will do most of liis hauling by steam
power. He will first extend the road
to his brick yard, and burn millions of
brick for market. His road is equipped
with new steel rails aud the best rolling
stock, and everything was paid for
with cash. It cost $75,000, hut
is a paying investment to
its enterprising owner. Every year
it has cost Col. Smith about $4,000 for
mules to do his hauling, besides their
feed, wages of drivers and wear of wag
ons. All this is saved by the railroad.
Then it was found impossible to do his
rapidly increasing business with wagon
transportation.
Col. Smith has one of the best
equipped oil mills in the state, and is
one man the trust can’t jostle, as he
controls enough seed to keep his mills
going. The oil monopolists have never
dared to attack bim. He also has a
large guano factory, and besides sup
plying his own farm, will sell 3,000
tons this year. One mammoth engine
propels his oil and grain mills, cotton
gins, guano factory and planing ma
chinery. Col. Smith’s policy is to con
centrate his business as much as possi
ble and save labor.
Col. Smith has just completed two
enormous new barns, and will add oth-
He is enclosing hundreds ot acres
ry or excited, but there is a firmne>8
and determination about him that com
mands obedience and respect. He at
tends strictly to hi3 own_ affairs and
never meddles in the business of oth
ers. But it won’t do to measure swords
with Col. Smith unless you are pre
pared for death-stuggle, for he is a man
who never yields a point when con
vinced that he is in the right. _ In the
late Senitorial race in his district, Col.
Smith at first declined to take an ac
tive part, as he was personally friendly
to all of the candidates. But in an
unlucky moment, some of Mr. Shan
non’s friends made a side attack on Col.
Smith, under the impression that lie
was secretly aiding Mr. Harper. This
aroHsed him,and he went to work with
a vim and determination that elected
Harper by 1,000 majority. It matters
not who is Col. Smiths guests, he never
permits their presence to enterfere with
business. The visitor is made welcome
and then left to amuse himself until
the routine work of the day is over.
But this does not 'akc all of the propri
etor’s time, and he has several hours
each day for rest aud the entertainment
of his guests. His house is always
filled with friends, and there is not a
more hospitable man in the South than
ihis great Georgia tanner He sets up
to a Tate hour at night answering cor
respondence and hearing reports from
his subordinates, and sleeps until 8 or
9 o’clock. But by daylight the ma
chinery of his farm is all in motion,
for the task of every hand has been
mapped out the night previous.
Col. Smith is a great believer in the
future of this section of Georgia. He
lias travelled extensively, and says we
have the greatest country on the globe,
if our farmers will only use industry
and good management He considers
farming lands the best investment that
can be made, and says they are
cheap at $10 per acre. He is by no
means sanguine in regard to the future
of the negro, and says that while in
creasing much faster than the white
population, they do not improve in in
dustry or morals. They are becoming
more insolent and harder to manage
each year, and is fearful that a race
war is pending. He says the negro
problem is a very vexatious one, that he
is not able to solve to his ewn satisfac
tion. It will not do to move them all
out of the country, for it would deprive
us of our only source of labor, and im
poverish the South.
Col. Smith now has some extensive
improvements under consideration. He
will extend his railroad both to Sandy
Cross and Danielsville, so as to bring
the business of these sections to Smith-
sonia. He is turning his attention large
ly to building up his oil mill and guano
business, and to do this must secure cot
ton seed and supply the farmers with
their fertilizers over all the tributary
country.
There is not another man in the South
like Col. Smith, and his example is do-
ing a great deal to encourage and ad
vance the agricultural interests of this
entire section.

THE LILLYLANDS-
a park out at the Lilly property that the
near his house in plank and wire reuces, offer h«s been withdrawn. It is also
neatly painted. Look where you will
on this farm and there is an air of sta
bility about everything you see. The
most perfect system prevails, and both
hands and stock move like clock work.
You hear no wrangling or disputes.
Every employee has his work appor
tioned out, and it must be done with
dispatch and in a satisfactory manner.
Col. Smith deals honestly by his hands,
but be is firm with them, yet kind and
thoughtful for their welfare. At the
end of the year they always have some
thing to their credit, one negro and his
family drawing over $700 in cash.
He cultivates about 10,000 acres of
land, and it is being brought up to the
highest state of fertility. The low-
grounds are well drained, and where
subject to overflow levees are con
structed, at a great cost. His rolling
lands are hillside ditched or terraced,
so that not a wash can be seen. Good
roads and bridges are all over bis plan
tation. The tenant houses are neat,
clean and comfortable; and you can tell
one of Col. Smith’s hands whenever
seen, by their brisk walk and well clad
and contented appearance. He has no
trouble to hire negroes, although they
understand that when employed
they must do faithful work. He runs a
large store, and sells his employees
goods at the very lowest prices.
One will think that a man would
be almost crazed by looking after such
an immense and varied business. We
doubt if there is a two-horse fanner in
this section but has about as much an
noyance as Col. Smith. He has every
thing systematized, and his business
moves off as smoothly as a train of cars.*
There is a boss for every field and de
partment, and lie is held strictly ac
countable for the hands under his
guidance. And then again, we never
knew a man with such a wonderful gift
for control and business as James M.
Smith. He carries all of his affairs in
his brain, and knows to a
dollar how every employee stands,
the age and condition of every head of
stock, the productiveness of
every field, and characteristics of
every person in his em
ploy. He is a wonderful judge of hu
man nature, which is one of the secrets
of his success. He is never in a hur

Rumor has it that a companyof ten-

the property and that these men will be

lands. The intention is to divide the
whole tract into building lots, and to
build handsome bouses on each of these
and beautify them with varied improve

walks made, and the woods will be to

urban town. The houses will be rent

them and will doubtless reach a ready
rental from the influx of population
that the G., C, & N. will bring with it

Bridgeport’s Suicide Club,
Bridgeport, Conn., Jan. 22—[Spe
cial]—Only two members survive of the
Bridgeport Suicide Club, and these two
met this evening and over numerous
gtasses of beer exchanged reminiscences
regarding their deceased brothers.
Most of these had put an end to their
lives, although some died a natural
death. The club was formed four or five
years ago in a half-joking spirit. It
was a stipulation, which no one at that
time regarded seriously, that at least
oue member should commit suicide
every year. This rule was more than
observed in years that followed, one
member after another meeting with
misfortune of some kind which im
pelled them to make way with them
selves. As the rule requires three to
form a quorum the two survivors agreed
Saturday night that they could do nobus
iness,but that they remain as hold-overs
in their respective offices of president
and secretary, which positions they
originally held.
What’s in a Name.—Yesterday Mr.
J. B. Tooiner sold goods to George
Washington and Jeff Davis. Both of
these classical named persons were
coons and as black as the ace of spades.
Pledger Famous.—The Inter-Ocean
and other republican papers of Chicago
are devoting columns to W. A. Pledger
and his speech in that city. He deliv
ered a most violent address against the
Southern people which of course was a
sweet morsel to roll under the tongues
of his Northern allies.
A Happy Marriage.—Mr. Z. W.
Betts, a prosperous Athens business
man, and Miss Leila Hudson, daughter
of Mr. Tom Hudson, a prosperous
Clarke county farmer, were yesterday
happily united in marriage, at the resi
dence of the bride’s father, near Alliens.
May prosperity and much happiness
attend them through life.
Two Boxes of Pigs’ Tails.—Col. C.
W. Baldwin received yesterday by ex
press a box of long, fat curly pigs’ tails
from a farmer down in Oconee county,
and one also from a prosperous planter
in Oglethorpe. No name accompanied
the boxes but they were glad gifts to
Col. Baldwin. Since the cold weather
set in Col. Baldwin has been the recipi
ent of many of these delicious viands.
A Welcome Visitor.—The Rev. Mr.
Burnett, of Buncombe county, N. C.,
and father of our gifted attorney, is
visiting his son in Athens. Mr. Bur
nett is a polished and geuial gentleman,
and always finds a hearty welcome in
the Classic City. He tells us that the
exodus fever has not struck the negroes
in the Western section of his State, as
they are few in number, but it i» East
ern North Carolina that they are leav
ing. He reports his section as develop
ing very fast.
Shot in East Athens.—Cato Bald
win’s wife, a negro woman who lives in
East Athens, was recently shot in the
head by some unknown party while
among a crowd of negroes. The crowd
was walking along one of the streets
over the river, when some one fired a
pistol into their midst and ran away.
Tl.e bullet took effect in the negro wo
man’s head, and inflicted a serious,
though not necessarily, fatal wound.
The woman fell, and is thought to have
broken her arm.
Talmadgb’8 Mills. — Talmadge’s
flouring mills commenced business yes
terday. Messrs. Talmadge Bros, show
commendable enterprise in erecting
such a fine mill, and will no doubt re-
co ve as large a patronage os millers as
they receive as grocers.'
The Covington & Macon.—The
stock holders of the C. & M. met in
Macon on Monday. It was an enthusi
astic meeting and was largely attended
It was called to indorse the recent ac
tion of the directors of the road in is
suing bonds to the amount of $642,000
for the payment of the floating debt of
the road, and also for improving the
terminal facilities in Athens. The bonds
were indorsed and will run twenty-five
years, hearing 6 per cent interest. It is
E robable that the C. &. M. will com
ine at Athens with the G., C. & N.,
and the Georgia Southern at Macon.
This would give an air line between the
East and South Florida, and the people
of Maconare Jubilant over the pros
