TffJC NEGRO PROBLEM.
This is a mixed subject. Tlie Anal so
lution is a black, impenetrable mystery
of the future, relieved here and theie by
various shades of lighter hue by philo
sophical discussion that may end right 01
wrong. But we know that the negn
is here to stay. He is a Uxed factoi
in our citizenship and in our policies; he
wields the ballot;.he is equal before the
la v with the white man; he may but
and sell and fulfill all the requirement.'
of a full-fledged freeman; his hallo'
counts as much as the white min’s; he is

all races undergo in the progicss of civ
ilization. His progress or retrograde,cap
neither he arrested or prevented, as h*
may prove himself capable of the one or
the moral power of resistance to the
other. We repeat, the negro h right hen
among us to stay, and there is no code of
political ethics under our system of gov
eminent, warranted by our federal con
stitutlou, to get him out of the way; noi
can we draw the lifin of di> inefion b*

f> *id. Like all ncs of men, he will have
to wink out his hwn destiny. He will
have to solve the problem of his own fu
ture. It Is right that he should do so
without hindrance and without special
legislation by government for that pur
pose. He must take his chances in the
race of life-progress, as others do. lie
must be honest and industrious to earn
character and financial success, as well
as moral and mental advancement. He
must not be clamorous for more than he
is entitled to. If he is educated by any
system of public schools, he must remem
ber that such system is mainly supported
by the white race, who are the property
owners and tax-payers, and who will con
tinue to govern this country. As an
emancipated slave, left penniless and ig
norant, he cannot reasonably expect to
rise to the plane of intelligence and in
fluence of the superior race in the affairs
of government. His intellectual advance
ment has not kept pace with his desire
for office, the bane of patriotism in this
country. He cannot afford to make th<*
race issue; the odds are too much against
him; he may or may not be a corrupt
factor in our politics, as he may select;
that he has been so made by office-seek
ers, no one can -deny.
What the negro needs most in this day
and generation is “bread and meat” and
a chance for mental advancement and
intellectual progress. His destiny, in this
respect, is left in his own hands. In this
he is materially aided.from the pockets
of the white man in the support of the
public schools, for the maintenance of
which the negro pays but little. He
ought to be satisfied, at least for the pres
ent, in that respect, and apply himself
more assiduously m securing all the ben
fits thus placed in his hands than in an
ambition for office. The white race pay
this tribute for the benefit of the negro
without murmur. They do it willingly.
The field of labor for “meat and bread”
is open to him, as it is to all other classes
of men who become American citizens.
miv sow and reap or not, as his in
dustry or the want of it, may control his
purjKKses. There is when* his destiny
must begin to develop itself. His muscle
alone must open the way for his
mental development in the solution of
the problem of his future as a good and
useful citizen.
The southern people have nuch to la
diankful to do i- gro tor. The race, as
st whi-ie, prov -< iu* to their masters in
the Ini•* h y unstained our armies
in the field in r; iroduefioii of supplies.
Any otl*r ge<pb would 1 1 >’ve revolted
and made the hr. ik for freedom. The
negro did not, and for this the southern
people feel grutet . to him, end are will
ing to aid him in solving the future of
his life and progivsg. They ought to do
so. Few there ->e who entertain the
chimerical idet of his removal from our
midst by colonization or otherwise.
Therefore, for one, we are in favor of do
ing all that can be done for the welfare
and moral and intellectual progress of
the race, and the race should seek to ally
themselves with the south more than to
become the tools of northern politicians
and office-seekers.
We repeat, that what the negro needs
most U ‘‘bread and meat,” and what else
he should desire after that is a fair
chance for intellectual advancement.
These are the first and primary elements
in the solution of the negro problem.
We regret to have to record the death
of Mrs. Dr. Robert B. Ridley, of Atlanta,
youngest daughter of the late Senator
Hill. She was riding out on Saturday
last, when two or three men came up be
hind her carriage, ri ling a race. This
frightened Mrs. Ridley’s horse and she
jumped from the carriage and fell upon
her head, from the iffects of which she
died on Monday. The writer !i is known
Dr. Ridley and his wife from their child
hood, and there is no friend on earth
who more sincerely sympathises with
the bereaved than ourself. Mrs. Ridley
leaves four children, the youngest being
about five weeks old. We kuo\v that no
words we can write will console our
friend in hig sad sorrow.

777 F “YALLER DOG" DEMOCRACY.
We have heard so-called democrats sav pub
licly that they would vote ter a “yaller dog”t*rre
he the aeminee of “the party.” Such democra
cy ia simply infamous. It is the weakness of po
litical serfdom that every free American should
scorn with indignation. We hold that ao vote
should be cast except for good government, the
Interest of the country and the happiueee and
welfare of the people —CartsrsrilU Ere* Pm*.
The writer of these notes doesn’t belong to the
“yaller dog” variety of democrats. There are
times, of course, when individual preferences
have to be surrendered, but we have never vot
ed for any man tor an office whom at the time we
considered unworthy to fill it, and we are not
going to do it.— Macon TeUpraph.
Of all the editorial writers on the “or
ganized” democratic press of Georgia,
we regard Cbl. Albert R. Lamar, of the
Telegraph, as the ablest, the most fearless
and the most candid in the expressions
<>f what he conceives to be the true prin
ciples of true democracy. As all candid
tnd honest men do, we sometimes differ
viih Gol. Lan.ar on public questions. In
hose differences we have never doubted
his sincerity or political integrity or his
lesire to place the public welfare above
11 considerations of mere partisanism.
Vo man can be truly a democrat ujron
uiy other line. In one particular Hor
ce Greely was right. He said “if a bad
man had to be elected to office he prefer
red that the # other party should elect
him.” He certainly did not believe in
supporting for place “yaller dogs” even
m the republican party.
We are glad to know that the “yaller
‘og” idea of supporting the nominee of
“the party” is “plaj ing our.” and that
ii-re is a growing senrimental of inde
pendent poll leal thought and action
. nong our people. Ot course, we have
idea that men who say they would
vote for a “yaller dog” that they mean
. hat they say literally. It is simply a
iigure of speech carrying with it the im
plication that they would vote for any
one the nominee of “the part} .” howev
er distasteful it would be, or however
unworthy the candidate so made might
be for the office he is to fill. It is just
such politics from which have sprang
the corruptions of the times. It is just
such political subserviency and partisan
serfdom that have dragged free govern
ment in this country down to the con
trol of “pothouse politicians” under the
manipulations of tricksters and thimble
riggers. It has ha<l the effect of creating
revolt upon the part of many good citi
zens against the methods and practices
of the leaders of the “yaller dog” idea of
exercising the right of the elective fran
chise.
The truest and the only genuine de
mocracy is that which places patriotism
above partisanism; that looks to the
right government of the country rather
than to the wrong; that seeks to pro
mote correct principle above mere partis
an success. In other words, the sound
est democracy is that which is indepen
dent and free from all “entangling alian
ces” that prevent the voter from exer
cisixg the ballot for the right, as he sees
the right, and for the maintainance of
good government and the resultant hap
piness and prosperity of the people.
TIIE PURITAN YANKEE.
The Rome Courier now and then in
dulges in rhythmical effusions. The
following is its last effort:
On old Plymouth Rock our tents we set,
Our shot and rum made the Indians ‘‘get.”
We smuggled slaves from Congo’s mouth;
When it didn’t pay we sold them souths
Then groaned to think of the southron’s sins,
And we freed the negroes to tan their skins.
There is more of truth than poetry in
the above. If the “Mayflower” had nev
er touched at Plymouth Rock, or landed
on our shores, this country would have
been all the better for It. It is perfectly
natural for the puritan Yankee to be
grasping in his love of money. He is
more the lover of “filthy lucre” than he
is of his God. lie was the fellow who
introduced African slaves upon these
shores. He was a slave owner and a
“nigger trader” as long as it would pay
him in the cold and sterile regions of
New England. When the “.institution”
failed to pay he sold his negroes to the
southern people and pocketed the money.
\fter accomplishing that financial feat,
rhe puritan Yankee became very sudden
ly humane and began abusing slavery and
slave owners, and finally drove the coun
try into civil war and bloodshed. This,
briefly, is the history of slavery in this
country.
The southern people have been abused
for all manner of inhumanity and barba
rism. When it is remembered that there
is no taskmaster more severe in his deal
ings with the laboring man than the pu
ritan Yankee, it comes w ith very bad
grace for him to abuse the southerner for
owning slaves and his humane treatment
of them. Of all the outrages upon hu
manity in this country, it has been left
for the puritan Yankee to commit the
most revolting one. No negro’s hide, nor
that of a white man, has been tanned into
shoe leather in the south. We have no
Tewkesbury shoes in our markets manu
factured in the south. Nor would our
people buy them, if they knew it. That’s
the difference.
Now, if the puritan Yankee will only
keep his own conduct and religion and
humanity straight, he will have all he
can do. It will require centuries for him
to atone for the introduction of slavery
into this country, if it was wrong, and to
wipe out the foul ami infamous trade in
Tewkesbury shoes.
We would warn the good old tnen, the
apostles and patriarchs of the prohibition
movement, ro keep guard and watch ever
the innocent lambs of the eattse. Written
resolutions, unanimously passed and vo
ciferously applauded at the temperance
meetings, are worthless, when the paper
on Which they are written is damp with
strong drink. If the good old men, the
apostles and patriarchs of the cause, can
not restrain the “spirit”-ual propensities
of their youthful followers, we fear that
there is no good to come from the prohi
bition movement in Cartersville, in spite
of the many names of doubtful character
attached to the petition.
What in the world is. the use of a nice
young man, with his hair oarted in the
middle, taking “whisky straight” while
he has folded in his pocket a resolution
(of* the next Prohibition meeting?
We are glad to know that all the efforts
that have been made to crush the Atlanta
Post-Appeal have failed of success. It
has been ignored, ridiculed and belled on
all occasions, in a&d ont of season. But,
the indomitable pluck of Mr. Thorntdti
has overcome every kind of mean oppo
sition, and the Post-Appeal still remain*
as an evidence of what, manly persever
ance can accomplish, and is, withal, one
of the best newspapers in the state. We
hope Mr. Thornton will remain w ith the
paper. He is independent in thought
and action, and such arc the kind pf pa
pers needed in the discussions of all pub
lic and political measures.
Some of these prohibition advocates
are funny fellows. They attend temper
ance meetings and call at the bars for
corn juice straight. Not only that. At
least one of them wanted a whisky dealer
to let him have a “nip” ou Sunday.
Furthermore, we have had the beer “set
op” to us by one of the movement. What
in the devil would these fellows do with
prohibition in Cartersville? By the eter
nal ! they would send to Atlanta for an
occasional “reviver.”
The speech of Senator Voorhees for the
defendant in the case of the state of Ken
tucky vs. PhiL Thompson, at Harrods
burg* last week, was the ablest we ever
read in defense of the purity of woman’s
virtue and the peacefulness of the family
hearthstone. Rightfully, Thompson was
acquitted for the killing of his wife’s se
ducer.

PROHIBITION TALK.
To the Editor of the Free Press:
I believe in a fair thing—that is, I be
lieve in dealing with persons or things,
as the case may be, as we find them, and
always oppose the wrong and uphold
the right. First, not to criticise or abuse
anyone for doing their duty; second, not
to lay blame to anyone who has done
nothing to deserve it; or, in other words,
give everyone credit or censure, as the
case may be, for just what they have
done.
It seems to me that there is a disposi
tion on the part of some ot the opponents
to the prohibition movement to censure
the church, the preachers, especially, for
favoring prohibition. In the first place,
I think this censure wrong, from the fact
that it is plainly set forth in the scrip
tures that the Christian’s warfare is
against all wicked powers, and no one
can say that whisky is not a wicked pow
er in this world.
In the seeond place, I say this censure
is wrong, because the professed Chris
tians, to take them as a class, have not
been over-zealous in this matter, for a
great many of them are on the other side
of the question, while others are indiffer
ent. Why this is so Ido not know. I
hope they have not misconstrued the
meaning of the scriptures in teferenee to
loving our enemies. Should this be the
case, 1 hope our preachers will take spe
cial pains in explaining the true meaning
of the scriptures; so that all may under
stand that strong drink is a common en
emy to the human family, to the truth,
and to all that is right and good; that we
are not commanded nowhere to love, but
to abstain from all appearances of evil,
and commanded to “touch not, taste not,
handle not the unclean thing.”
Now, friends, let us not blame anyone
for doing their duty, neither'censure any
one for doing something they have not
done; but let us consider.well the matter
before us and act as wc think best for all
the people. If all will do this, which
there is no excuse for not doing, I have
no doubt as to the result.
Very respectfulty,
W. F. Corbin.
THE TKMPKUANCE QUESTION.
To the Editor of the Free Press:
Your position as a journalist, in giving
both sides a hearing, is, in my judgment,
the correct one.
By law whisky is merchandise. The
parties who engage in the traffic do so to
make money; i. e., a living.
Now, the whole crusade against its
sale arises from the plain effects i the
actions of those who buy and drink to
excess, and the manner of emancipating
the negroes has been a potent agency in
aid of the aggravation in drinking.
There can be no law enacted in this
land to prevent a man from drinking
whisky; hence the efforts made and
making to prohibit the sale.
Now, in view of the universal evil ef
fects of drinking, to say nothing of the
expenses to the tax-payers, and consider
ing the general sentiment of our solid
men—thinking men—on the subject, if I
was engaged in the business, I would call
a halt and look up some other business.
It cannot be disguised that it is the profit
made in selling whisky that keeps the
business going, and many a man, with
out thinking, has sold murder to make
five cents on one drink. If men engaged
in the traffic would pause and look at it
from the general welfare point, they
could convince themselves.

Noticing your article on this terror of

the disease is brought on by indigestion,
with which I was troubled in my young
days, but paid little attention to it. For
thirty years I have net slept over an av

or a palliative, in diet and exercise, I
have frequently walked ten miles after
eating supper. Do not sleep in the day
time. Have often found some relief in
baking before a fire. It is, I think, one
of the diseases that has to be starved out.

>IBT THE LAW STAKft.
It, would be a pleasure to us to .agree
with the Georgia press association in all
of its proceedings and objects, but we
shall oppose any effort on the part of the
association to have the present legal ad
vertising law changed. During the
meeting last week the following action
was taken:
Mr. Walsh moved that a committee of
five he apjroioned to request the legisla
ture to change the legal advertising law.
The committee is as follows: Patrick
Walsh, T. L. Gantt, E. P Howell, W.
T. Christopher and W. L. Mathews.
President J. H. Estill was added to the
committee.
We presume the object of Mr. Walsh is
to have tire present law- repealed
and re-enact the old law allowing news
papers to establish their own rateß.
We are opposed to the change. The
present law i* more equitable than any
that has ever existed. The prices estab
lished are fair. The llawkinsville Dis
patch does as much legal advertising,
perhaps, any paper in the State, and we
are entirely satisfied with the price. The
present law lixes the rates at seventy-five
cents per one hundred words for each
insertion for the first four insertions, and
thirty-five cents per hundred for subse
quent insertions. Every figure and every
initial is counted as a word. The com
pensation is fair. An advertisement of
two hundred words is charged six dollars
for four insertions under the present law.
Many of the papers would contract with
a merchant tor an advertisement of the
same space for ten dollars a year and
perhaps for five dollars.
Let us be reasonable. The widow and
orphan have rights. In the closing up
of a dead man’s estate several advertise
ments are required, such as citation for
administration, application for leave to
sell the lands, notice to debtors and cred
itors, sale of the lands, and, finally, a ci
tation for dismission from administra
tion. Under the present law these ad
vertisements would amount to fifteen or
twenty dollars, and it seems to us that
the rates established are good enough.
We know it is far better compensation
than the average paper gets for transient
advertising.
Of course we do not recognize the
right of the legislature to establish rates
for any business other than legal adver
tising. But a e a certain amount of adver
tising is required to wind up every es
tate, we do not think the legislature
transcended its duties or did injustice to
the newspapers by fixing uniform rates
for such advertising, especially when it
is certainly true that the prices are far
better than those obtained generally for
other advertising.'
Let the law stand. —Jlawkinsille Dis
patch.

PILES.
Piles are frequently preceded by a sense of
weight in the back, loins amt lower part of the
abdomen, causing the patient to suppose he has
some affection of the kidnej’g or neighboring or
gans. At times symptoms of indigestion are
present, as flatulency,nneasinessof the stomach,
etc. A moisture, like perspiration, producing a
very disagreeable itching, particularly at night
after getting warm in bed, is a very common at
tendant. Blind, Bleeding and Itching Piles
yield at once to the application of Dr. Boston*
ko’s Pile Remedy, which acts directly upon the
parts aflected, absorbing the tumors, allaying
the intense itching, and effecting a permanent
cure, where all other remedies have failed. Do
not delay until the drain on the system produces
permanent disability, but try it and be cured,

PLAIN
TRUTHS
The blood ,is the foundation of
life, it circulates through every part
of the body, and unless it is pure
and rich, good health is impossible.
If disease has entered the system
the only sure and quick way to drive
it out is to purify and enrich the
blood.
These simple facts are well
known, and the highest medical
authorities agree that nothing but
iron will restore the blood to its
natural condition; and also that
all the iron preparations hitherto
made blacken the teeth, cause head
ache, and are otherwise injurious.
Brown’s Iron Bitters will thor
oughly and quickly assimilate with
the blood, purifying and strengthen
ing it, and thus drive disease from
any part of the system, and it will
not blacken the teeth, cause head
ache or constipation, and is posi
tively not injurious.

Feb. it, 1880.
Gents : —Upon the recommenda
tion of a friend I tried Brown’s
Iron Bitters as a tonic and re
storative for my daughter, whom
I was thoroughly convinced was
wasting away with Consumption.
Having lost three daughters by the
terrible disease, under the care of
eminent physicians, I was loth to
believe that anything could arrest
the progress of the disease, but, to
my great surprise, before my daugh
ter had taken one bottle of Brown’s
Iron Bitters, she began to mend
and now is quite restored to former
health. A fifth daughter began to
show signs of Consumption, and
when the physician was consulted
he quickly said “Tonics were re
quired;” and when informed that
the elder sister was taking Brown’s
Iron Bitters, responded “that it
a good tonic, take it.”
ADORAM PlI ELI'S. -
Brown’s Iron Bitters effectual
ly cures Dyspepsia, Indigestion and
Weakness, and renders the greatest
relief and benefit to persons suffering
from such wasting diseases as Con
sumption, Kidney Complaints, etc.
