vation teaches me that the moment you
educate the negro that mon.ent you un
fit him for manual labor. However
rudimentary his education, he scorns to
labor in the field, to follow the plow, to
perform those agricultural labors that
nature and nature’s God made him for.
He comes to the cities and towns, seeks
employment of the easiest and lighest
kind and supplements his scanty income
by thieving and rascality. Before the
war forgery was a crime unknown in
the criminal annals of the colored race;
to-day it is as common as it well could
be ; when he learns tosign his name, his

them. Two drug stores selling whis
key, wine and beer, paying the city the
pitiful suirrof $100 each. Why lellow
citizens, it is a farce—a monumental
fraud. Some say that it is not the fault
of the law, but of the officers of tbe-law,
in not prosecuting these men . Why,
the grand jury has indicted them more
than once, but no convictions have fol
lowed. It is impossible to convict un
der the law; not only is the law violated
with impunity, but public opinion sus
tains the violations. [Cheers.]
The city is not only losing the reve
nue from the sale of liquor, which would
under a high license Bystem amounting
to a gr. at deal, but it is also losing the
liquor trade and the trade the liquor
made would bring to Athens. Suppose
a farmer living halt-way between Madi

part incut, in a few well chosen re
marks. ' '
Following is Mr. Phinizy’s speech in

fellow citizens see tit to send me to At

tv lfut before I address you upon
tiu se matters I hope you will be kind
r h to allow me to make a sort of
nersmial explanation : Some years ago
t was niv misfortune to edit a weekly
newspaper in this city—The Athens
Chronicle. About tlie time I ticgan the
lUinllCHllOU im-
1 -iii.ir was a prominent and powerful |
tin'niiizutiou in tliis county, as it was

_ The
question of labor so far as the colored
man is concerned is intimately connect
ed with this matter of education, for I
lay it down as a proposition that obser
vation and experience shows to be true
that the educated negro will|uot perform
hard manual labor. Have no objection
to their obtaining an education
if they pay for it, this
their legal and just rights, but
1 am unutterably opposed to the taxation
of white property to educate colored
off-spring. I have here a few facts and
figures to submit to you, they carry
their own tale, tell their own story in a
forcible manner. The people of A'hens
last year paid tuxes on the sum of $4,
511,100, a large amount; the color-d
pe pie paid taxes upon the pitiful sum
of $148,957. What a difference! The
tax rate last year was about one per cent
of this per cent 22 one-hundredths were
laid aside for educational purposes,
Now in the white schools of the city
in Plication of the paper the Kmghtsof | * here wenj 7&1 pupils and in the color
ed schools there were 313, I refer to the
lit to nominate a candidate for may-
m mid selected as its standard bearer
Mi'. William Wood, a gentleman of in-
lelltoenoe and character. The Clironi-
,,i,poicd Mr. Wood as did the Ban-
m--Watchman, and advocated Mr.
]{eaves. 1 voted for Mr. Reaves, as did
Mr. Cobb ami Mr. Mel), and I did in mi
oiti-ii and honorable way everything l
could to secure the election of the one
aud bring about the defeat of the other.
I never, however descended to personal
abuse aim vinification, aud 1 challenge
c -mrailictioL on this point. Now, my
lellow citizens, l am going to be per
fectly lionest am. sincere with you. 1
am told bv in.mis that there are old
copies of t tie Chro- iclc in circulation in
this Ward, in Which some very objec-
want to see old Athens prosper and
grow, her people happy and contented,
and any thing 1 can do to bring about
this end I will do with eagerness and
cheerfulness. [Cheers.]
Capital is coming in here, new rail
roads are being rapidly constructed,and
it behooves us to be on the alert and
progressive. No people can thrive and
prosper who live under iron clad
laws and look at the matter through
short-sighted glasses. We must throw
off our lethargy, must awaken to the
significance of events, and do all in our
power to advance our material interests.
Athens is no longer dependent upon
the University, we have outgrown our
dependence upon that institution: we
have become a commercial city and our

1 have ofteu talked with men from the
neighboring counties, and they have as

could not get what they wanted here.
They are not familiar with the blind
tiger or drug store process of obtaining
whiskey,and honestly believe Athens is
a dry town. [Applause.] You can lay it
down asau indisputable proposition fel
low citizens that whenever you prohibit
the sale of any one arti
cle in a town you injure the
trade of the towu to that extent, and
also to the extent of the trade the desire
to obtain that one article -would bring
to the city. Here with 25 places selling
liquor, and I take it every man who
buys a license sells it, which is not an
unreasonable supposition, the city of
Athens receives $200 per annum when
she could easily obtain' from 8 ato 10
thousand. Now. fellow citizens half

Athens has every advantage over At

to turn the spindles of America; our
water and climate are unsurpassed; but
what is of even greater importance, we
are in a direct and air-line position to,
