TIRES OF THE NEdRO PROBLEM
AMI (JUITS THE DISCUSSION.
LEAVES MATTER TO WISER HEMS.
Itelngthn Only “Hoy" on tho IM»r*s Wil
liam la Kept Huay With Houae
liold Choral,
I reckon there are enough philoso
phers to solve the race problem and
save the country without further as
sistance from me, and so I will swear
offfor the present. I don’t care much
whether the negro goes to Africa or
Arizona or stays here. If he stays
here he has got to stop his devilment
or take the consequences, and I’m will
ing to trust the people on that line. But
of all the absurd remedies that have
been proposed none are more so than a
change of venlie and a trial in five
days in some distant county. County
lines do not bound the fierce indigna
tion of a people horrified and enraged
over such fiendish work as that of Ham
Holt and Will Lucas. And besides,
just think of the machinery that has
to be set in motion to summons and
convey thirty or forty witnesses to a
distant county, and even then perhaps
no trial or a mock trial that disregards
the forms of law and the rights of the
criminal. No, that is no remedy.
But I’ve sworn off. Let the wise
men settle it, tho’ I confess I was sur
prised wheu I read that Governor
Candler had just discovered that edu
cation was the only remedy that would
stop the commission of these heinous
crimes. According to statistics of
New York and Massachusetts, taken
from their state prisons aud published
to the world, education fosters! and
increases crime—not a little, hut im
mensely. The governor’s theory has
been long since exploded. And right
here in Georgia the uneducated negro
before the war and for a few years
after was moral and law-abiding and
now there are 4,000 in the stnte and
county chaingangs,' 75 per cent of
whom can read and write.
But I forbear. I had rather rumi
nate about pleasanter things, though I
must protest against this utterly un
tenable basis of all the negroes being
good negroes excepting 5 per cent. Mr.
Inman started it, and I see that Bishop
Gaines takes comfort from it in his
beautiful aud impressive sermon and of,
last Sunday. It is a delusion a
snare. Nearly 5 per cent of their vot
ing population nre now in the chaiu
gangs, and it is safe to say that if
every one who steals was arrested and
punished it would add 10 per cent
more to the black army of convicts.
Petty larcenies are common in every
household where they are employed,
hut they are not brought to court.
These little pijferings are crimes, but
the crimes are condoned—overlooked—
for they have some good qualities, and
their service is needed.
It is a race trait and develops with
education, especially among the
younger negroes. The records of the
courts prove that the percentage of
small larceny and burglary grows faster
than their population increases. City
negroes and town negroes are more
addicted to it than country negroes,
for they have more education and more
opportunities. The fear of the law as
it is now does not deter them. The
fear of the lash would. But we can
worry along with their little pilferings
on the principle that a cook we once
had declared to me when I reproved
her for stealing: “You don’t miss
what I takes.” It is the greater
crimes that now give our people deep
concern, and these will be quickly and
terribly avenged. Our people, espec
ially the country people, are in des
perate earnest, aud neither law nor
lawyers nor the horns of the altar will
protect a brute in human form, wheth
er he be white or colored.
But what makes my thoughts and
my pen glide along on this subject?
My wife is calling me now to come
there and bring the stepladder. Sho
wants the vines on tho trellis tied up,
and I am the boy. That ladder is old
and rickety and I am subject to vertigo
sometimes. I’m afraid of that ladder,
but never in my life did I admit to her
that I was afraid of anything, aud so
I will mount that ladder with all the
alacrity I can. The time was wheu I
Lad black boys and white ones, too, to
wait on me, but now I have to tote my
own skillet and nurse the grandchil
dren, too. There are two little ones
here half the time aud they love me
dearly aud I have to stop writing
whenever they say so.
They want me iu the garden to get
flowers or pick strawberries or make
sand bouses or mud pies or get some
water or something to eat, and I have
to follow them around or carry the
little one while my wife is making
some more little dresses for tdiem.
Their mother has uo servant and lets
them come up here by themselves' to
be petted while she is sewing or cook
ing or playing on the piano. My wife
and I do more work nowadays than we
ever did in our lives, but it is sweet
work aud we like it. Hoiv the children
and grandchildren w ill get along when
our time is out and we are off duty I
cannot see, but one thing I know, “the
Lord will provide,” for “He tempers
the wind to the shorn lamb.”
But about these nesrroes. Hardly a
day passes but what I hear somebody
say: “I wish to the Lord that they
were out of the country.” I don’t all
knoiv about that. The ironmakers and
miners aud lumber men and railroad
men and tlie big farmers would object,
for their labor is both useful aud prof
itable. I wish we could scatter and
apportion them all over trie country
from the Atlautic to the Pacific.
There nre ftt lehst 500 in this little
town that we would like to spare, but
we would like to pick them. There
are, no doubt, 10,000 in Atlanta—
moH tly young bucks and wenches who
have been educated and are now
vag".bouds—parasites who live off the
labor of good, working negroes just
as the vagabonds do here. We have
many good negroes here who nre good
citizens and give no trouble, and they
are our draymen, our carpenters, barbers, car
riage makers, blacksmiths,
gardeners, cooks and washerwomen.
These trades are shut out to them at
the north, but the north keeps on
sending money down here to educate
them and to keep their leaders in line
politically. this devilment
The truth is that all
that has of late so agitated our people
comes from politics. It is planned
and designed for party purposes and
Mr. McKinley was a party to it when
he appointed negroes to be postmasters
and revenue officers in white commu
nities. I have had no respect for him
since he did it. They say that he has
quit it, but he has not apologized.
How much longer is he going to keep
that educated uegro politician in office
at Hogansville? And yet there are
thousands of democrats, men and
women, in Atlanta who gave him wel
come and threw him flowers and
shouted, “All hail McKinley!” I’ve
no respect for them, either. I want
to live long enough to see a man in the
presidential chair who is far above
such machine politics. They say they
want to break up the solid south anil
yet they do the very things to keep it
solid.
But my wife is calling me again.
Sho says it is about time for me to be
gin to water the roses. It takes about
fifty buckets of water every evening,
but the hydrant is near by and I don’t
mind it. The little chaps try to help
me with little buckets and they get
their clothes wet and of course I am
scolded for it. If they get dirty or
take cold or run at the nose it’s all
my fault. They say that I spoil them
so nobody else can do anything with
them. I don’t care. They shall have
a good time as long as I live, for there
will be trouble enough when I am
gone.
Now about this thing that is called
education I do not wish to be misun
stood. Millions are wasted on it to
no good purpose. Every mother’s son
and daughter should be taught to read
and to write and multiply. Good
readiug books should be placed with
in their reach—books that teach a
good moral lesson, books that exalt
virtue and condemn vice—but work,
toil, industry is a bigger thing than
books.
Modern education is confined to the
bead, the intellect, and is mixed up
with training the hands to play ball
aud the legs to run, and the boys
tramp all over the country to play
match games and the old man’s money
is spent for something that is not
worth a cent to the young man when
be settles down to the business of life.
The average boy has no more use for
algebra or conio sections or calculus
or astronomy or Greek or French than
a wagon has for a fifth wheel. It is
valuable time wasted. Outside of the
professors I have never found but one
college graduate who could translate a
line of Greek or solve a problem in
geometry. Perhaps one in a thousand
shows a fitness for these higher branches
and that oue should have a chance at
them if possible, for the world needs
astronomers and mathematicians aud
scientists and linguists, and will have
them, even if the acquirement the has to
be hammered out at anvil as Elihu
Burritt did.
Work is the big thing in this practi
cal age. To make a living is impera
tive, and it is a struggle. But to be a
great orator or poet or preacher is a
gift, and like Patrick Henry or Henry
Clay or John Wesley, will come to
fruition with or without a higher edu
cation. To read well and to read
wisely is the best part of an education.
It is strange that our schools do not
teach their pupils to read—to read
with emphasis and tone and accent.
Not one preacher in ten can read a
chapter or a hymn in an impressive
manner. It was his happy faculty of
reading well that made Bishop Beck
with a gient man. It was a solemn
feast to hear him recite the litany or
read a hymn or utter a prayer. Why
do not the theological seminaries teach
the students to read and also some
thing of elocution? It is an imposition
Oil ft congregation to have to listen to
the singsong, childish, unimpressive
lendings of our prenekers.
But this is enough ou this line. I
fear I am getting hypercritical.—B ill

Tlio national grand lodge of Mosa ; c

Happnings In the State of Inter
eststing Import.
For Uniform Cotton Classification.
The State Agricultural society,
through its president, Hon. J. Pope
Brown, has signified its intention of
pushing forward the movement for the
uniform and final classification of cot
ton in the south, which was inaugu
rated by Commissioner O. B. Stevens.
The movement, although started but
a few duys ago, has attracted consider
able attention from the farmers of the
state, as well as intermediary brokers
dealing in the staple both of w'hich
class, it is believed, will be materially
and directly benefited by a general law
throughout the cotton growing states
calling for uniform and final classifi
cation.
In a communication to Commission
er Stevens, President Brown, of the
agricultural society, heartily concurs
in the suggestions of the commission
er, and declares that a convention of
representatives of the cotton growing
states should be called to give the mat
ter of rigid classification careful atten
tion. President Brown suggests that
such a couveution should be called in
August, as the cotteu men would have
more leisure at that time than at any
other.
It is first ffie purpose of Commis
siouer Stevens to interest in the sub
ject of classification the commissioners
of other cotton states, as the matter is
of such far reaching importance as to
demand concerted action on the part
of all the southern states.
It is understood that the cotton in
terests of Georgia are already in hearty
sympathy with the plan and ready to
use their influence with the legislature
for the passage of a law simultaneous
ly with other states, requiring cotton
to be closed rigidly at points of ship
ment, just as fertilizers and oil are in
spected by sworn officials at the pres
ent time.
A conference between Commissioner
Stevens snd President Brown, of the
agricultural society, will be arranged
in the course of a few days and con
certed movement will then be started
by them to attract the interest of the
cotton states in the south.
Marked Heroes’ Graves.
A larger crowd than had ever gath
ered ou a similar occasion attended the
annual deeoratin of the graves of the
confederate soldiers buried at the cem
etery at Cassville last Saturday. Tnere
were fully one thousand people pres
ent and the exercises were unusally
interesting and impressive.
There are 300 confederate graves at
Cassville, and are mostly of men who
died iu the hospital, into which the
Baptist church bad been converted
while Jobntson’s army was on the re
treat. The members of the Cassville
chapter of the Daughters of the Con
federacy determined sometime ago to
have headstones placed at these graves
and although the work was a long and
laborious one, those who assembled
Saturday viewed with satisfaction its
accomplishment, and every grave is
now neatly and substantially marked
with a stone on which is the inscrip
tion: “C. S. A—1861-65.”
An Appeal to the Governor.
Governor Candler has beeu appealed
to by ik delegation from the Grand
Army of the Republic camp of Atlanta
to protect the government reservation
at Andersonville, Ga., on Decoration
Dny. from the negroes who annually
flock to the place and commit depreda
tions.
For the past few years tlie privi
lege permiting the negroes of the com
munity around Andersonville to visit
the reservation, it is asserted, has
been abused aud tlie local officials of
the Grand Army of the Republic ask
tliqt precaution be taken to prevent
any repetition of the bad conduct
agaiu.
The solicitor of tlie circuit in which
Andersonville is located also called on
the chief executive for the purpose of
asking that some steps be taken to
preserve peace and quiet at Anderson
ville on Decoration dny.
Governor Candler stated that unless
tlie emergency was sufficient to war
rant it, no troops could be sent to An
dersonville May 30th, the date of Dec
oration day. Excursions are run to
the national reservation every year
from surrounding towns, carrying
hundreds of negroes, and it is believed
that tlie same trouble will occur tins
year that lias happened iu years past,
if no precautions are taken by those in
charge.
ltrumby S%vord Fund Grows.
The fund being raised to purchase
Lieutenant Brumby a sword is rapidly
assuming large proportions. Lists are
coming in from all parts of tbe state,
and the idea seems to be a popular
one, and all are anxious to assist in
honoring Georgia’s hero. The banks
in a great number of tbe Georgia
towns have been beard from, and all of
them have sent in generous subscrip
tions.
Owing to tlie fact that the amount
asked for is only one dollar, it takes
longer would to bad raise the proper amount than
it tbe amount asked for been
left discretionary, and those who have
not sent in their lists are asked to do
so at once, as it is desired to order the
sword as soon as possible.

State Fall* Notes.
Tlie negroes ot Georgia are taking
lively interest in the forthcoming state
fair—such lively interest, indeed, that
in eight counties in the state the work
of collecting county exhibits is ahead}'
under way, and three or four negro
schools and colleges are now preparing
exhibits. And the state agricultural
society is doing all that it can to en
courage this work on the part of the
negroes. A separate building has been
set apart for the negro display, and in
many departments, notably the agri
cultural department, the same pre
miums are offered them as are offered
the white people. derided into sixteen
The fuir will be
departments, from A to P inclusive.
Department A will be devoted to
agriculture: This department will, of
course, be the main feature of the fair.
The largest prize offered in this de
partment is $1,000 for the county
making the best display of products
grown by citizens of the county, The
other premiums range from $2 to $500.
Department B is devoted to cattle,
sheep and hogs, Especial attention is
paid in this department to fat stock,
and T. B. Sawtell and Edward O.
Miles – Co., of Atlanta, offer six of

The premiums are numerous and
large. _
ASK XEW’SPAl’EUS TO AID.
“Dewey Home” Committee Want Co-Op
eration of the Press.
The national Dewey home commit
tee held another meeting in Washing
ton Wednesday and decided to send
letters to all leading newspapers, na
tional banks and postmasters, asking
them to co-operate with the committee
by receiving contributions from the
public aud forwarding the same to the
treasury at Washington. Following is
the appeal to the newspapers:
The national Dewey home fund
committee, recognizing the press of
the country as the best medium for
reaching the people and the most
powerful instrument for good, at the
conclusion of their meeting Wednes
day afternoon requested the Associated
Press to state that the committee most
earnestly solicited the co-operation of
newspapers in their effort to secure
subscriptions. The committee request
newspaper publishers everywhere to
open public subscriptions, acknowl
edge receipt through their columns
from day to day and forward the same
to the national Dewey home fund
committee, Washington, Hon, Ellis H.
Roberts, treasurer.
It is suggested that newspaper pub
lishers receiving subscriptions make
their remittances td the committee
here weekly, or more frequently if by
them desired. Treasurer Roberts will
acknowledge receipt to newspapers and
will finally issue to each subscriber a
souvenir receipt. With a view to the
latter, publishers nre requested to
keep a record of all subscribers with
their postoffice addresses, and so far as
possible to forward the same with
their remittances from time to time.
Tempor ary receipts have been provided
until the handsomely engraved souve
nir receipts are ready for issuance.
The national Dewey home fund com
mittee believe that the publishers oi
newspapers iu this country will lond
their assistance in this work and that
it lies within their power to make this
move a great success at the earliest
possible day.
The committee recognizing services
already lendered, further requests that
publishers who open public subscrip
tions notify the treasurer as early as
possible for their information.
