“IIS ULTIMATE DISAPPEAR.
ANCE FROM THIS COUN
TRY,
Dr. E R Corson’s Lecture Refore
the Georgiv IHistorical Society
on the Colored Race in the
United States, Viewed from
an Ethnic and Medical
Standpoint.
Savannah News.]
“The Future of the Colored Race
in the United States from an Eth.
wic and Medical Stanpoint” was the
subject of Dr. E R Corson’s lec
ture before the Georgia Historieal
8§ wiety lest night., Dr. Corson ar
gued that the African race, an in
feri.r race, transported by force
from its natural habitant to a dis
tant country and thrown by eman
cipation, after a period of slavery,
into the straggle for existence with.
a supetior m e, can never gnin an
ascendancy, but must in time die
aut or hecome so merged into the
dominant face as to fually lose its
identity ; that already there are
evident signs that the physique of
the race is degenerating, as saown
by the rate of mortality as com-‘
pared to the white race, and by
the appearance of certain patho~
logical conditions, whieh predict
an eveu higher rate of mortality in
the near future.
FALSE AKGUMENTS REFUTED.
The first part of his lecture was
taken up with the refutation of the
argument based upon the census
returng, an argument used by cere
tain Northern writers to prove that
the colored race is rapidly increas
ing to eventually outnumber the
whites, with results fatal to the
prosperity ol the country, and es
pecially the South. He quoted at
some length from V'r. Henry Gar
nett, who has shown conclusively
that a careful revision of the een-
DAWSOY, GA; WEDNESDAY,; JUNE. 22, 1887.
sns shows that the blacksage not
increasingf oves the whites. but
quite the contrary. He mnintained
that the only soluti u ot the prob
lem is through -the. teachings, of
ethnology, and biology, and the ex
periences qf those who have stud
ied the Sysicd status of the
Phow; R s §
" ruvsickr DEGENERACY, ,‘j
To show- the physical degec-:2ney"
of the race Ph: Corson : gave thel
mottuary statistics of the principal
Southern cities, which show that
the colored morta'ity ahout doub
les that of the white, and that the
mortality from consumption among
the colored people more than doub
les that ot the. whites from this dis
ease, Further that the Negro is
falling & victim to malarial and
miasmatic disease, from which he
was formerly exempt: He showed
that during the slavery the physie
que of the race was good, and in
many instances=it wae' better than
that of white people, but that since
emancipation ths Neygrd hds been
thrown directly into the struggle
for existence against the superior
race, and in this struggle he must
go to the wall with grea: loss of
life.
MISCEGENATION,
He spoke at some length ot the
tacts or of miscegenation, wbichl
many Northern writers have over=
looked intheir arguments. They
contend that the division line be
tween the races must become more
and more distinet. Miscegenation
ghows the fusion gmog on, in spite'
of its illegality, which renders the:
division line less distinet, produc-l
ing a large mixed element which
becomes more and more allied to
the white race in dire~t proportion
to the amount of the white blood in
the mew produc, l
A deterioration in physique may
be looked upon as the natural res
sult of the many influencee at
work srising from the trausporta
tion of the race to a foreign soil, to
be thrown in the struggle for exis
tence against a superior race, uw
struggle which ean have no ulli-l
mate issue but defeat, and by de.
feat he meant an inability to main
tain the distinctive cb..mcleristicsl
of the race.
WHAT THE CHANGES WILL BE.
“The struggle will he a slow pro
cess of fusion by which the weak
and unstable elements will disap
pear, while that which has any
permanency will become g 7 blend
ed with the dominant race as to
lose its individualitv. Ot the sta
vle and unstable the latter is by
far the greater. Its unstability
may be measurefl by the physical
degeneracy. Evea to-day, to call
the colored race the African race
is something ot a misnomer, be~
cause it has undergone many mods
ifications. A change in language,
in soil, in climate ; a change of sur
roundings and associations are po
‘tent influences to eventually de
stroy the original radical traits.
’ A STRIKING SIMILE,
In conclusion, Dr. Corson said ;
“The forces are ut work, and their
ultimate issue, which I have at.
tempted to indicate, may be rough
ly portrayed and epotomized by a
simile. Imagine a crystal lake fed
by many streams from all points of
the compass; bringing waters as
varied as the region through which
they flow: Suddenly, trom the
southward gushes in 8 muddy
stream, which empties into the
lake to soon exhaust itself. At
firsi, for some distance out on the{
surface, we can see a distinct line
of demurcation between the clear |
end the muddy. Gradually, by a
process of diffusion and precipita~
tion, this division line becomes less
and less distinct, the muddy stream
shading off into the clear until fin
ally the lake is lef! in its original
clearness, and our eyes, wandering
over its surface, tail to detect any
cloudiness in its clear and translus
cent depth.”

How gratefully the blossed twi
light succéeds the summer’ duy.
When one has been* stewed and"
twelbrfd with the .heat and_glare'
of a burning sun for about 10 hours'
it is'a comfort to see the’ 'bndows!
lengthen and the sup begin to mr}
the western kil The -daye -are
just long enough to make us Alove"i
the night. - What & luxary to sit’
'fn the piagza just after the sun
goes down and - enjoy the cowling
airand list>n.te the sonz of the
Katydids, and see the laborers co
ing slowly home from their long
day’s work, ‘
But rest and comfort is not all
t' t shade does for mm. It is nl
ture’s own restorer. It is shade
that renovates the soil. It is the
sup that warms and germinates, I
but it ie the night that furnishes
the plant food, Shade generates ’
‘and applies ammonia which is what
all vegetation feed upon, I used l
to think that some plants like clo
ver enriched the scil by bringing
down from the atmosphere some of
its vitrogen and depositing it in
the soil. Some said it was the
clover roots that decomposed and
};fldo the soil rich, but T am now
‘Gonvinced that ammenia is *genera
‘ted from shade, and that the more
)shada the more plant food, A 4
‘thick growth of clover is almost
‘impepetrable “to sunslight. The
clover does not have to be turned
‘under to fertilize, neither does any
&green crop. Turning cowpeas uns
‘der when green does no more good
1 than when dry. Tt is the shade of
the yines that dees the work. It
I is the shade of the grass and weeds
'thnt follow wheat, that. keeps the
#oil from the torrid sun and enrich ]
es the land by producing ammonia.
Nature protects herself. She cov
‘ers the exposed ground with a
shield from the July and August
'sun. It is a mi<take to plow the
_corn aftor it begins to =ilk. Bet
ter let the graes grow than have no
shade. TLet the morning glory
vines come and cover the ground.
Plant cow peas in every row. They
will give shade and help the corn,
and renew the soil, The pea iz an
air plant and feeds upon its netro~
gen. The fence corners that have
long been shaded are always rich.
8o is the ground that is covered
by a blacherry patch, and 8o “is a
‘canebrake. One would think that
canebrakes and briars would exs
‘haust the soil in a year or twoMnd
so they would if it were not for the
dense, impenetrable shade they
make. Suppose you tear down an
-old house. What a luxuriant
growth comes there. Cow peas
are the best renovutor I kiow of,
for they will grow in poor land
and they do their work speedily.
Pea vines will be ready to harvest
about the close of the summer and
when the peasare in the dough
mow down_the crop and cure it for
winter hay. When cut at that
stage the leaves will not fall from
the vines, and there is no bhetter
hay than peavine hay. ‘Horses
and cattle devour it greedily, and
it is splendid for milk’ cows. Build
a rail pen and puta rail floor a
foot from the ground, fill up say
two or three feci, and then anoth
er rail floor, and so'on as high as
you please. Fiil your barn loft,
but donet pack away solid until
well cured, h!y \neighbbr says:
‘You will ‘ruin your laud; you
ought not to strain your land with
two crops in one yeéar. If you sow
peas you ought to plow them un
der.’ '
Well, why not? Nature will put
up a crop of weeds and grass if I
don’t sow down a erop of peas,
What is the diflerence? I take
my choice ot crops, thut'sall, and
¥ give wore shade to theland, .

One of the moat difficult things
to get counties to do is to improve
their roads; - ladeed, it is about
impogable to get them to do it.
Thers is not a eitizen of any colin
ty in all this broad land who dces
not know the vilue of guod roads,
and yet the road problem is one
that only a comparatively tew
cov.ities have solved, and they
auve succeeded only because they
have attacked it réolutely and ia
teligently. The condition of the
roads throughout this State is de
plorable, If farmers would eare
fully compu®® the damage they an
neelly suff® ou account of bad
roads they would be surprised at
the amount of it, They would
find that the wear and tear upon
their work animals, harness, wa
.gons, the inconvenience they are
put to, and tie loss growing one of
the impossibility ot hauling full
loads, amount to many times their
‘taxes |
" And yet, while everybody wants
good roads and declares that ue is
‘ready to bear his share of expense
in making them, it 1s extremly dif
ficult to enforce the rosd laws. ‘A
farmer would ‘apparently rather
pay ten dollars for repairs to his
wagons and harness than “to Ppay
that sum to aésist in putting the
roads in his neighborhood in ' good
coudition. dlthough he kinows t' at
if improved they would relievekim
of the e?ene of repairing’ his'wa
gonk and harness, | e
“IWis-hotfcbable: tHt “whese tilre
are good roads the farmers sre
‘more prosperous and the farnis sre
more valuable than where the
‘rouds are neglected. Good road
horses and gcod carriuges are found
where the roadsara good, and the
people appear to he more content~
ed; "It is certnin that ‘mowey
invested in roads is well invested.
It pays a big interest and every
body” gets a shave of it.
There are those who insist - that
the road laws are insufficient, but
it is probable that if the road laws
were strictly enforced they would
answer the purpose for which they
are intended ' wery well, . The
trouble is that in enforcing the
laws too much faveritism is shown,
and in making the. roaus teo- little
