Special Correspondence Democrat.
Raytown, JIa., Ocbober 19th, 1883.—
—Mrs. Lizzie Lew ; s has been right
sick for the past few days.
—Mrs. Gabie Darden has been very
ill this last week. We hope she may
soon recover.
—Squire Triplett lost a valuable lit¬
tle mule last Wednesday morning
Mr. Triplett has our heartiest sympa
. thy in this misfortune.
—Mr. Josh Moore left last Tuesday
for Scat: —uch Georgia on a visit to
Ids father. He expects to be gone
some fifteen or twenty days.
-l‘-Vidette” begs to say to the rea
deis of the Democrat, the reason of
her failure to appear in these columns
last week, was that she was too sick to
write her communication.
—Miss Ellen Hunt, from Columbia,
left Raytown yesterday on a v’sit to
her aunt, Mrs. Elizabeth Cato, who
lives near Rome. She expects to re¬
main a yeas: or longer.
—Mrs. Jennie Bacon presented to her
young husband, Mr. Parks Bacon, a
tine daughter, a few days ago. We do
not doubt Mr. Bacon feels as if be
were the happiest mau. in the county.
—We hear that Mrs. Amanda Dar¬
den lias gone to Macon on a visit to
her daughter, Mrs. Barthella Davis.
We hear too, that from there, she will
continue on up to North Georgia to
pay a visit to her other daughter, Mrs.
Fannie Pierce who lives near Rome.
We wish her.a pleasant trip.
—Mr. George Louche has rented out
the farm belonging to Mrs. Lizzie Hol¬
liday. Her son Mr. Jimmie, who has
had charge of the place for the -qiast,
two years, will move up into■ Greenqj
county another year. We hate to lose
Mr. ‘-Jim Bob” aaml his estimable
wife, but hope the move will be "benefi¬
cial and that he may never regret it.
—Mr. Shiloh McCarthy is still quite
sick with some type of fever, though
we learn, that lie is improving now,
which is nothing more than need lie ex¬
pected, as his case is managed by our
skiilr'ul and successful village physician,
Dr. J. W. Barnett. W e also learn
that Mr. Pale is ill of fever too. It
seems as if fated for all the young men,
iPvlq- lef'gAqfn bc^n-sU Age.* '.iwHuSi
iiess in Wadiey to return home sick.
Perhaps it was the wrong time of the
year for them to go down there. At
any rale, we hope they will soon re
cover.
—Raytown church lias been blessed
ith a good revival the pa'd Week
mong the Methodist people. The pre
tidiug elder, Mr. Parks, staid for sev
ral days, and many noble sermons did
lie deliver, and long wi'l his memory
linger green in the memory of our peo¬
ple, who sat day after day and night
after night listening to the woids of
wisdom which fell from his lips in such
persuasive cUquetiee asjionld scrvcely
ever be resisted. Seven wee added by¬
conversion to the church. Brother Felix
Brown, pastor of the church, and a
young theological student were both
present, and aided by their efforts and
prayers in the conversion of souls.
The meeting continued about nine
days, and would not have closed then,
only Mr. Brown was compelled to
leave in order that he might reach some,
of his other appointments in due sea¬
son. His usual appointment at Bar¬
nett will be held this coming Sunday.
—VVedo not know what the dar¬
keys will do now soon, for all the cot
tou will be out now ere e long, and then
tliere will be nolhing for them to do.
Farmers will soou have their corn and
pea crops harvested, and they will not
have the chance of walking thro’ some
white man’s field, and {pull an ear of
corn, here and haif peck of peas there
and in this way contrive to subsist at
liie white man’s expense after all. They
will steal enough this way to last
a h. le,and while they ar Bitting around
ni uitH and idleness, pern ips, they have
three or four children going to school,
‘While I have the most profound r* ver
ence for the wisdom of our
ed Governor, yet, I differ with him in
thinking it a wise tbiugto educate the
negro. He is fat lor nothing but to
plow ar.d hoe, and as soon as he gets a
smattering of an education he leaves
the plow and seeks the city, and crowds
up the alleys and back streets, and liv
ing there in tilth and squalor and
wretchedness indescribable, and he is
ripe for any crime under the sun, from
picking a pocket^o committing mid
night murders, and ultimately reaches
his rightful home—the chain-gang—
and then he is In bondage, more de
grading, more servile and bitter than
any slavery ;of ante bellumduys. Edu
catiou only shoves him there the more
quickly. Why educate the negro V It
vtoes not make him a more honorable
a,an ! for he has no honor to build up
on. It does not make them more grate
ful, for it is a Stubborn fact that the
negro of the South is destitute of grati
tude. We surely do not mean to edu
case him in order to surrender the
reins of government into his hands,
Then why are the white men of the
South taxed to make up a sum of mm
ey to educate the negro, while the poor
white children are compelled to remain
in ignorance ? Is not ail of the tax
paid by negroes devoted solely to ti e
education of his race ? Then again is
not a portion of the lax of the white
mau appropriated to the same purpose ?
If this is the case, where is the justice

Of our own poor children. Our dead
soldiers who fought and died for their
country have descendants here synong

fit of this white tax that is devoted to

ferred on him or his race by a white

said: “General. I am sent by General

has wet the ammunition of his troops,
and wants to knew whether he shall re
turn.” Replied Jackson : -‘Ask Gen
eral Maiione if tne same rain which
God sends to wet his ammunition will
not also wet that of the enemy? Tell
him to charge them with cold steel.”
Mahone made the charge.
