A Note or Warning. Negroes at Aiidersonville.
In an editorial on “Memorial Day”
the Fitzgerald Enterprise says:
“We hear complaints among some
of our colonists because of the pres
ence of the colored people. Bless
your dear soul do yon know that the
grave* of Aiidersonville would never
have been decorated in the years
that are past but for the blacks. Faith
fully have they gone to that place as
the “shrine of their devotion," and
possibly no ono on this green earth
are better able to appreciate the serv
ices, suffering and death of Andcr-
sonrille heroes, than these same col
ored people.
“With a dim perception of the cost
of liberty the colored race has come
from the adjoining states year after
year—in their own peculiar way they
have attempted to commemorate the
sacrifice of the ones who “died to
make men free.”
• *
“What! northern men shut the
negro out from Andcrsonvillc on
Memorial day?
“Shades of Lincoln! if it were pos
sible the hones under the rows of
headstones and Hags at that memorial
place would cry out.—“Never—lib
erty becomes a farce under such pro-
coolings; better the white man re
main outside the stone walls that en
circle that city of the nation’s dead.”
The writer of this effusion, whoso
indignation is so aroused because the
better class of old veterans object to
the companionship of negroes, Ims,
vidcntly like many others from the
North, gotten her ideas of the man
ners and customs of the South from
to burn it, and in this way a groat [ Uncle Tom’s Cabin, a book which

suggestions touebiog the proper dis
position of the city garbage.
Heretofore one scavenger cart has
done the work, but it will require at
least two to keep the town in good
sanitary condition daring the next
six mouths. Good health is priceless,
therefore the cost of an extra cart
should not stand in the way.
But it will bo throwing away ef
fort and money if some change is not
made in the disposition of the gar
bage. It is now hauled about one
mile south of town and dumped. This
lias been the damping ground for n
number of years, and only a part of
the garbage is consum.ed by the an
nual burning of the woods. When
the wind is from the sooth it becomes
vililated with the disease-breeding
odors that rise from this damping
ground and is wafted over the town,
spreading the germs of disease where
the best of health should prevail.
The plan of disposing of the city’s
garbage is a standing arid increasing
menace to the health of every citizen
of Tifton, and should lie changed.
Wliy not have this garbage hauled
j to the present dumping ground and
burned at least twice a month? It
would take hut little fuel outside of
what is in the trash when hauled out
“in their own peculiar way commem
orate the saeriliee of the ones who
“died to make men free.” “In their
way” they get drunk,
and know what they are talking
about, are justly opposed to allowing
thousands of negroes to trespass upon
the grounds niadu sacred by the
ashes of brave men.
TI10 Enterprise should give' the
question some serious thought before
condemning the old soldiers for ob
jecting to the negroes.

Such a great crowd of negroes as I •»
gathers at Aiidersonville, “as llie
shrine of their devotion” is a serious
mcnaec to the lives of both white and
colored visitors to the grounds. _
When the editor of the Enterprise
has been long enough 111 the South
to learn something of the ncarocs,
practical experience will point out
the fact that the negro has no patriot
ism whatever, that his “dim precop-
