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 danger would ho removed at atriflintl! grossly and wantonly misrepresents cos| .

I’csidenl. David S. Jordan, of is land Stanford Junior University, 1 J 1 own pectin just now for the Gazette to sonnd a note of warning and to make a few. 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. Zion Hope Cemetery.

That 110 hoy with a thimbleful of sense will expect his best girl to sit up later than 10 p. m. and swear and tight, nail riot in the cemetery where rest the bones of “those who died to mako men free.” 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- tton of the cost of lilicrty” is *0 very dim it has never been prcccivod, ami that his only reason in going to An- dersonvillc is that he expects to he treated ns a martyr hern and get drunk ami fight.
