Williamson, Ga., Aug. 10.—Among
the good things of the reunion not the
least was Editor Glessner’s dissertation
on pie. It was remarkable that a baoh

peculiarly Glessnerian in style—a class
ic, equal to Charles Lamb’s celebrated
’tasay on roast pig.

will continue to favor us with their
weekly letters to the G. S 'V.

much rain is now the general cry. Old
inhabitantßsay thkt Saturday evening -
rain wa> the heaviest that ever fell in
this neighborhood. We were caught in
it ou the Jordan road home and were
waterbound until eleven o’clock at
night. The high waters also prevented
Brethren Buffington and Barron from
getting back to church, which they
have ably conducted during the week.
While muddy water will not keep a
Baptist from being emersod, twelve will
await baptism until the 2d Sunday, the
regular meeting in course. We were
not disappointed in saying that we ex
pected to have a great revival at old
leeinon this year. We return thanks
to the Methodist and other Christian
friends for their presence and assistance
in the meeting. We are glad to say lor
our young brother Baron, who has as
sisted Brother Buffington, that the peo
ple appreciate his services and predict
that he will some day make his mark as
a fine preacher.
We are requested by a preacher of
anotner denomination to express him
as saying that he fully endorses Tea
mon’s plan to have annual singings on
the week days sc- as to have good order,
and not so much for speculation.
Well, our seventh annual reunion of
the Gu S. W. correspondents goes now
into history, and having to depart with
some of the old officers, we must not
lose sight- of our main object in view—
to work lor the interest of our Great
Southern Weekly, and to edify one
another in every good deed and work.
As the time and place has been left
to the appointment of the president, we
would like to give our opinion on it for
what it is wortli, judging from the past.
Was not our reunion at Haralson and
Concord the best ones and the
largest ones we ever had? Why? Be
cause we were invited into those com
munities and rhe people felt bound to
entertain them, but in a public place,
what ought to be everybody’s business
will be nobody's business.
There will be baptizing at 10 o'clock
here next Sunday morning ; also preach
ing Saturday and Saturday night; the
doors of the church will be open to re
ceive those who wish to join,

A Former Georgian Gives the News and Sun His Ob

Station .’>, Oakland Calif, Aug.
7, 1994.—Editor News and Sun,
Griftin, Ga.—Dear Sir : The canal
commission will look to the South .
for negro laborers to dig the big J
ditch If a white man succeeds
every negro who leates, the South
will be vastly benfitted, says the
Savannah Press.
I am a native of the Empire State
of the South: torn and grew to
manhood in Walker county, North
west Georgia, one of nature’s
favored scenic gardens
I have relatives, natives of your
fair city, to one of whom I am in
debted for occasional copies of your i
daily paper. In your tssue of July i
10th I find tho attached expression j
of one of your Savannah exchanges. '
The Savannah Press could fur- ;
rush its patrons with more reliable
reading if it would use a writer ■
who is better informed than is the i
writer of the item here alluded to. I
However, I may not comprehend j
what the Press means by a white
man. Ido know’what we call a
negro, but 1 must confess that I do
not know much about many races
North, called whites. Am I to
that all who are not
negroes are whites? If so, ths
South would get much the worst of
the bargain when she exchanged r
negro for a white man from the
North, unless it be stipulated in
article of exchange the character of
the white man and the race. There
are races here—voters, compared to
whom your average negro is white
as snow
The negro of the South is now an
ind’genous human, and as the
whites, has no love for any other
country and has grown up under
white American influence, and the

THE SUN, Established 1877
many believing in the teachings of
former owners and descendants
thereof, anti, in fact, are Americans
as are we, aside from race, color,
etc.
Hundreds of thousands of recent
importations from Southern Europe
who congregate in Northern cities
aie of the most ignorant, dirty,
vicious species of humanity—people
who have no pride in country, no
love for any form of government;
people who congregate together to
perpetuate their own language and
customs. Our large cities North,
are infested with such objection
able, so-called whites. Socialism
and anarchy find homes or hovels
in the dirty quarters of Northern
cities.
The terrible results of strikes are
caused by ignorant Poles, Huns, and
Italians. Men in form only, no such
' thing as successfully appealing to
their reason, as they have none.
While the conservative American
would not resort to violence, de
struction of property, etc,, once a
strike is declared the vicious for
eign element step beyond control.
You people better never exchange
your negro for whiWt gnjegs yog
know what kind of whites you get
in exchange, Even though you
gathered up your most objectiona
ble negroes, you could be cheated
by getting worse so-called white#.
The whites ot the South are now
the purest American stock; better
keep it so. This foreign element
do things here and are permitted to
do what people of the South would
not tolerate for one day. You can
get along with the average negro
much better than you can with this
low stock of foreigners. Better
keep the South ror American stock
