BILL ARP’S LETTER.
He Males
Negro
And Hinnies Misguided Advisors for
Much of tho Knee’s Troubles.
Wo see that there has been an another negro
burned—burned in Goorui.i—burned mainly by
hG own race. That hist in a good s gn--a ‘sign
tlmt they aro beginning to nppreoiato the n u of
those horrible crimen tint almost every day are
committed somevrhoro by tho villinnous btaolc
tramps who are to bo found in almost every
community, When tho negro, as a race, begins
to preach against thojo horrible crimes in his
own pulpit and to write against them in bis
own newspaper and to talk against thorn by tlie
11 reside and in tho field, thoso outrages will
ooase. Hut all tho negro papo m I Intva seen
tnako largo cpital out of the lynobings ami
burnings and breathe mu tlm atsof retuliatio i,
but attach little importanoo to tho erimoi. In
this tluy havo the sympathy of northern fanat
ics and northern politicians who have for thirty
ycats encouraged the r revenge by flro and »»*-
Hftssiintion. In son thorn negro schools and
collogoa that have boon established with north*
ern mon y tlm white imported teachers have
made their pupils believe that they wero an
oppressed race, and woro kept under tho ban of
persecution; that if they hul their rights they
Would havo social equality with thu whites in
churches and schools, and some of tho northern
religious papers lmvo openly advoea'e l tho Bot
tling of the nogro problem by miscegenation,
Kvrn so groat and good a man as llev. John
Hall, D. 1).. and LI, 1)., cam.) out in a two-
column phillipie against tho "Horrible Tragody”
at Paiis, Texas, and all along through Ira ar
ticle used tho largo tvpo headlines, such as
"U ED-HOT 1110NS-—SOAKED WITH OIL-
CAST INTO T1IE FLAMES,” and so forth,and
ho appealed to tho friends of tho freodmen to
help thorn to avert these awful outran©*. Ho
rays the world’s fair is to ho visited by all na
tions, aiul bow cm wo hold up tho great ex
hibition an 1 laud our civiliz ili >n in tho face of
th* headlines, "TEXANS RURN A NEGRO
MURDERER AT THE STAKE ?”
" ill Dr. Hall never learn to put himself in
our place? Will tho northern pcoplo nevtr let
its and tho nogro alone? Aro wo to havo no
er.dit for humanity or intelligence? ll ivows
not lived with tho negro all our lives, and do
wo not know him better than those who scohitn
afar off? Shall wo bo ponnod up with thorn on
a limited space and under tho most fool sh and
malignant federal laws and not bo allowed to
protect ourselves and our w.vos and (lauab'ors?
1 say it with all sincerity that tho mist alt on in
terference of our northern brethren with tho
nogro problem, lias b on tho prime cause of all
tli" negro’s misfortunes, of a 1 tho oirrages and
all the lynehings and burnings. .Senator In
galls, being at last out of a job, has laid aside
his hobby and says tin ro will bo no more poli
tics founded on tho negro. He ought to know,
for he rode that horso for tw> nty-flvo years ami
rowoled his sides until tho rib* wore lmro and
his friend Tourgeo ro lo behind until his crup
per was sore, and it iH a lit time to turn the old
rip out to die. Now lot northern philanthrop
ists shinny on their own side and look after tho
poor and wretched in their own cities.
If it could bo done wo would gladly put a
million of our poorest negroos against a mil
lion of their poorest whites on exhibition at
Chicago and let tho world seo tho diff-rence
tlio difference in fiesh and health and con
tentment and hilarity. Hero is tho happiest
rice upon earth and tho easiest to control if lot
ulono by thoir coucoittd or protended northern
friends.
Rut what I was going to say to I)r. Hall and
all of his sort—your legislation has penned us
up with those pooplo and wo are going to pro
tect ourselves.
If wo find a rattlesnako or a mad dog or a
hyena going about loose, shall wo not kill him?
I havo lived in tho country for years
and felt the awful apprehension—tho
apprehension of some awful grief, and I
say now that if it had come I would havo Joined
my neighbors and burned tho vilo brute at tho
stake with ns much serenity ns I would kill a
gorilla. I hnvo read Governor Hogg’s
proclamation ami Governor Northcn’s
and tho editorials in some of our pa
pers and havo wondered what was tho
mattor with mo. Why can’t I feel that tin-no
lynehings mid burnings aro horriblo and bar
barous? Maybe I am liko tin poor follow at
camp meeting who said ho would liko to get
religion but ho couldn’t fool that ho wiih a sin
ner. I can’t fool that way. If 1 had been at
Paris whore I could roulizo tho awful brutality
of that negro’s crime upon that poor litllo in
nocent child I should havo joined tile mob.
Yes, I could havo seen tho bruto torn limb
from limb ami his flesh eaten by tho dogs.
I foit just that way when tho nogro cut tho
school girl’s throat near Madison in my mvu
s'a'o, and threw her mangled laxly in tho
d tcli. Such a nogro or such u white man is no
more to mo than a wild beast that has no soul.
You may call it revenge or barbarity if you
please, but to my mind it is an evidence of tho
unrest love of helpless innooenco and the deep
est sympathy for tho sufferers. I want no man
to argue the matter with mo. I would not tol-
-r.de discussion over it with a northern man
• ho lias had no experience nor with a southern
me w o lias never felt the appr< hension. Let
ho officers of tho law do or try to do thoir
worn duty, but when tho ctse is clear and the
proof positive or tho ciime confessed, it malms
•io d fferenco with m > whether they shoot him
<rburn him. If tho burning will better servo,
he purpose of intimidating and preventing of
< milar crimes by other bru’es, then Jet them
■urn. In tho olden tinvs they stoned them
with stones, according to the scripture, and
tiiere was virtue in tho remedy. Rut the mod-
; rn philanthropist cries educato them—educato
ihem just as if fliero wos any reform in educa
tion without moral and religious training to go
along with it, side by sale. Thcro are le*s
than two hundred wliito convicts in our peni
tentiary and oyer two thousand negroes.
Moat of these negroes never knew anything of
slavery, for they aro under forty years of age,
and a largo majority have had some school
ing, but they grow worse instead of hot
ter. Reforo tho war there was not one
outrage to where there aro flftv now. and yet
our northern friends say it is from ignorance
of tho law or from lack of education. It is
neither. It is because of their raco traits
fur indolence and stealing and the gratifica
tion of thoir passions and appetites. Reforo
the war Uw-so traits wero fettered by fear, but
t ow they fe' l no restraint. Tho old-time no-
roes are still good citizens, made so by oarly
raining, but the average negro of to-day has
f illeu back instead of advancing. Tho heathen
GliJnoe is a Christian compared with him.
Hrw far, or how long this incarceration of ne-
gr i convicts shall go on, I know not, but Ido
know that tho methods or modern civiliza
tion in the south will liavo to bo changed.
I hero is too much liberty in tho you'h of tho
negro and of the white raco too. Parents and
eachers are not respected and reverenced by
the children as they used to be. The negro
use 1 to fear tho lash and it was a wholesome
and salutary fear. Now it is the calaboose,
tho jail, or tho chaingang, which they do not
fear. I verily believe that a good whipping
will do a young negro more good and last
longer tliau ten years in the chaingang. There
would not be five hundred negr es in our con
vict camps today if all tho misdemeanors Jiad
been punished at the whipping post. Rut
modern philanthropy would cry out, "Oh, horri-
U ! horrible!” 1 ho very men who permit the
poor end the wretched to starve or to freeze in
tho miserabb garrets and lofts of tho tene
ment house:* would be the first to fry out
against us. The very men who ship rum to
Africa every day to be bartered in tho slave
trade would raise their sanctimonious eyes to
heaven and ask the friends of the poor down trod
den negro of tho south to rally for h a protec
tion. How long will then Catilines abuse our
patience? When I ruminate upon thoso things
it makes me t red—very tired, and keeps mo
from being cairn and sorone. It makes both
siden of my head ache and I have io tako a
donb e dose of my medicine. Rut I am get
ting bettor now, and cm stoop down and help
the litde orphan pick strawberries every morn-
in.'. Wc have a gr at time together, but I am
like a lien with one chicken. he children used
t<> follow me about, b it now I follow the oh'l-
I dren. Bill Arp. in Atlanta Constitution.

Briefly Epitomized
Anil Important Happenings from liar
to Day Torso!)- Told.
A special telegram from ...lekson,
Miss., says: General William li. Mo-
Oardle, for fifty years prominent in
the state ns a journalist, and author,
died Friday.
Edward R. Bunnell, a prominent
farmer of Walla Walla county, Ore
gon, killed his wife and daughter and
then hanged himself Friday, llunnell
was over fifty yeai-H of age.
Moses Brothers, who failed at Mont
gomery, Ala., two years ugo, for a
large sum and wero placed in the
hands of a rocoiver, are gradually
pitying their depositors. On Tuesday
the Bank paid another dividend of five
per cent. At this rate depositors will
Be paid in full inside of the present
year.
Fire Thursday afternoon at Wilming
ton, N. (!., entirely gutted the large
grocery stores of Stevenson Sr. Taylor
and li. W. Ilieks, and also tho Build
ing recently occupied as a store, But
which two Wilmington divisions of tho
North Carolina naval reserve had just,
occupied kh an armory. Loss, $25,000;
half covered By insurance.
A Jackson, Miss., special of Wed
nesday says; Mayor Chiles has issued
a proclamation urging tho people to
contribute to the cyclone sufferers in
Simpson county. Forty dwelling
houses wero Blown down and thous
ands of acres of growing crops left
fenceless. Five persons wero killed:
'Thomas Amos and his two children
and Elijah Husbanda and a negro hoy.
Several persons are missing.
A special from New Berne, N. O.,
says tho excitement which prevailed
among the citizens of that place and
James City 1ms subsided at last, and on
Thursday all tho negro residents of
James City signed leases by which they
rent the property for two years from
James Bryant, its lawful owner. Tho
troops will Bo sent homo at. once.
Governor Carr will remain a few days.
No more trouble is anticipated. There
aro 554 families in tho place.
Tho will of the late John Selmrdt.,
cashier of the Merchant's Bank, at
Nashville, was probated Wednesday,
lie directs that his indebtedness to tho
bank Bn paid in full out of tho #80,000
life insurance which ho has transfer
red to thu bank. The Balance with
all his real estate and personal proper
ty, ho leaves to his wife. Tho will is
dated two days Before his death, and
was witnessed by the president and
one of the directors of tho hank.
It was developed at Montgomery,
Ain., Wednesday, that tho Houtheast-
ern Tariff Association has decided to
advance the rates of (ire insurance in
the city on business proporty. At, the
last meeting of the legislature a strong
light was made to allow tho people of
Alabama to insure property with com
panies having no representatives or
office in the state, which would have
tended to keeping rates down. This
legislation was defeated and tho pro
posed raise will causo a sensation and
much dissatisfaction.
At, the democratic primaries in
Raleigh, N. C., Tuesday there wiih for
tho first time an attempt to vote for
a choice for postmaster. The result
was decidedly negative and the plan
failed. There wero three aspirants for
the position and while one was active
in the primaries and had printed tick
ets the others took no part, Tho ac
tive aspirant got nearly all the votes
casl. The experiment will hardly Bn
repeated and tho postmaster-general
will probably make his selection in tho
good old way. The matter has excited
considerable interest nt other points.
A package containing $J,209, sent By
Paymaster Robinson, of the Georgia
Central railroad at (Savannah,Tuesday,
to A. It. (Stevens, agent of the railroad
t>‘ Birmingham, to pay the salaries of
tho clerks, arrived, and when opened
was found to contain strips of white
paper instead of money. Examination
showed that one end of the package
had Been carefully cut open and tho
money extracted, the paper inserted
and the packago closed with thin court
plaster. Tho express and railroad offi
cials are making a rigid investigation,
But no arrests huve yet Been made.
Sentenced to Matrimony.
A young man and n young woman were
contesting possession of a piece of prop
erty, the one claiming under an old lease,
the other under an old will.
“It strikes me," said the Justice, “that
there is a pleasant and easy way to term
inate this law suit. The plaintiff seems
to he a respectable young rr.nn, nml this
is a very nice young woman. They can
both get married and live upon the farm.
If they go on with tho law proceedings
the property will all be frittered away
among the lawyers, who, 1 am sure, are
not ungallant enough to wish the mar
riage not to come off."
The lady Blushed and the young man
stammered that they “liked eacli other a
little bit,” so a verdict was rendered for
the plaintiff on the condition of his prom
ise to marry the defendant within two
months—a stay of execution being put to
the verdict till tho marriage ceremony
should Be completed.
This is about the first couple ever sent
enced to matrimony in a court of law.—
[The Gripsack.

Diagnosing by tho Crying.
The rry of children, according to I)r.
Iiill, of Denver, Col., in pneumonia and
capillary bronchitis, is moderate and
peevish and muffled, as if a door wero
shut between child and hearer. Tho cry
of croup is hoarse, brassy, and metallic,
with a crowing inspiration. That of
cerebral disease, particularly hydroce
phalus is short, sharp, shrill, and soli
tary. Marasmus and tubercular peritonitis
are manifested by moaning and wailing.
Obstinate, passionate, and long-continued
crying tells of earache, thirst, hunger,
original meanness, or the pricking of u
pin. The pleuritic is louder and shriller
than the pneumonic, and is evoked by
moving the child or on coughing. The
cry of intestinal ailments is often accom
panied by wriggling and writhing before
defecation. Exhaustion is manifested
with a whine. Crying only, or just after
coughing, indicates pain caused by tho
act. The return or inspiratory part of
the cry grows weaker towards the fatal
end of all diseases, and the absence of
crying during diatusc is often of graver
import than its presence, showing com
plete exhaustion and loss of power.—•
