Fifth Avenue last night. “When a

his property protected and any
kind of crime severely punished, and
the more s mall land owners of this

get in the South, the more rapid and

settled forever It is that the white
people will govern the South, no
matter which party is in power. Ig¬
norance cannot and ought not to
control either North or South.”
“What is the material advance¬
ment m Georgia?”
“It is remarkable. No State South
has developed so rapidly and sub¬
stantially. Our people have been lib¬
eral, and the result is we are prosper¬
ous. A few years hence the great
plantations, such as were known be¬
fore and immediately after the war.
will be divided up into email holdings,
and that is the wealth of any agricul¬
tural region. The truth is that tbfi
black man is the most reliable labor¬
er in the world. He is fond of local!-
ity, conservative, full of humanity
and sentimenri nnd wedded to his as-
sociations. Jflany of them are ac¬
quiring property. I think, without
looking at the figures, that the black
menjat Georgia own $15,000,000 of
jiffor itsgihterial life. This is agieatshow-

“Then the small farmer is the sal¬
vation of the Rjnth ?”
“It is a curious lafettoatthe pro-
duction of the cotton, which is re¬
garded as our staple, increases every
year, while the number of large plan¬
tations decrease. The negro is the
most absolute and despotic aristo¬
crat in the world. He raises cotton
because his master raised it and be¬
cause it is the great aristocratic sta¬
ple of the South, and if he gets a
patch of land he makea a bale of cot¬
ton or as many more as he can; but
he has the acumen to raise the small
grains and herbs which maintain his
family.”
“Then the negro isagreat citizen?”
“I wouldn't like to say [quite that,
bnt he is to a great extent, our finan¬
cial power. The negro who gets prop¬
erty is chary of his expenditures, and
he guards lus chick** and his crops
with remarkable fidelity. Then,
