What Do Th° People of Tne
North and East Tninkofus.
By reading the periodicals published
in the North and E~t, we learn that
they have a veiy e.roneous idea of us
here in the South, partico'arly Southern
Tennessee, North and Middle Georgia.
In the Garden and Farm, pupblished
at SDringfie'd, 0., and Chicago, ID ,
December issue 1900, appears an illus
tration of rn o'd tumbled down log hnt
with this to say about us; ‘The home
of a typical Georgia cracker” These
rude cabins with their stick chimneys
and -.-arthen floor, with windows de
void of gluss, often shelter contented
people who ere willing to vegitate in
peace or sell out at a low price to the
more enterprising Northerner.”
It seems they think that we are a
half civilized, 1 izy, sluggish people,
with no pride or ambition and no desire
to ever be any other way. Let us notice
another article iu the -Comfort” of
Augusta, Maine, which is as follows:
"In Appalacaiau America” (called by
a recent writer "Uncle Sun’s back
yard”) “which extends from West Vir*
gia to Southern Georgia, a constaut
warfare is being waged botwoen the
illicit distiller?, practically called
‘iiooushiners’, and a small army of rev
enue officers• The average moonshiner
is a rough looking individual at all
times, but is seldom seen by the outside
world except when luck has been against
him, and he is dragged from his ieir to
have justice meted out to him iu the
Federal Courts.
“There are those among them how
ever who, like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
lead dual lives, administering the law
as Justice of the Peace or constables
and breaking it as manufacturers of
"whiskey”. The firy "Mountain Dew”
finds ready sale in the low lands, re
tailed by trusty agents of the di9.i!le r .
They no not regard themselves as law
breakers and look upon the goverummt
as unjust aud oppressive.
“Their homes, in most cases, p e
huts, primitive indeed, which cling like
swallow nests to the mountain side.
Communication with the outside world
will alone solve the problem upon
which solution the government is
spending large a>non it! of money and
the lives of many of its bravei?) offi
cials, but it wi'l dou itless be many
years yet ere ci. lizaliou penetrates to
these parts-”
How is it that they are so erroneous
ly iu f ormed as to oo r civ'l qna'iflcr.
t ons? Oue answ'er is that some of tbe'r
own district schools teach i. to tne
cuild.en, aud they g.ow up believing
it.
Another reason is that th? Southern
people allow the reports to circulate as
being ti ue, which is evidence to the
Northerner that they ere true. The
North thiKs the South niistre.it) the
negro, which is very erroneous, and
eve. y Southe a editor should never let
aa opportunity pass to repudiate and
deny every such article published in
Northern jorrna's.
We, in the South love the South,
though we may be unionist), aud we
don’t like to ba called ‘ Uncle Sam’s
backyard.”
Let prejudice, seotiontfl histories aud
wnt'ngs lire their place in the libra
ries rud choois of the United States,
aud such art cles wi’l soon be a thing
of the p: ~t. Lover of the Sooth.
We hare yet to taik •with a reformer
who doe* no; take the view that the
outlook for the adv ucement of ouv
pr’uciplei is brighter now than ever
before. The milhou men who voted
right in 1892 have been reinforced by
at least three m’lliou more in the lait
eight yerrs and today this vast army
of voters, scattered as they are from
Maine to Califdtuia, and from the Likes
to thj Gnlf, will leaven the votiug pop
nlation. And now that the possibility
of any reform through the Democratic
party, which many uouestly believed
oould be bad, hr.s completely vanished,
the people shoo'd counsel among them-]
selves and determine the bett method
by which this great mass of voters—
voters educated and believing in just
systems of government—:an be organ
izod and cemented for independent po
litical action. To this end let the old
reformers at once begin anew the wovk
and it will not be long until the reform
movement again blazes forth—again
ba seen sweeping the country as it was
doing in the years following 1868 and
np to the time of the pqjitba' err .or in
July, 1896.—Missouri World.
If the same efforts are put by
tne refo-mers of the couutry between
now and November, 1904, that were
witnessed in the forr years following
the clo ie of the campaign iu 1888, the
people can elect a pre ideut who is iu
sympathy with the principles of gov
ernment paper money, government
roilroads and telegrapas, and the ini
tiative aud referendam.—M Isso ur i
