j on-f"i’every voter. This might to
-oinc extent amelioraie the political
situation, hut the gravest evils
suiild still exist so long as this over
whelming difference in the class of
lii.piilatioii remains. Apart from
jh<; political, there are social and
M-oimmic features which vitally
d iiic welfare of every rummu-
, j t y. No country, no matter how
wieat its natural a.han a.e-i tmy
he, can p;o~per, so long as Hie gteat
l.uik of its population is thriftless
mid ignorant, and inditfereut as to
iis -urn undings. A man is a drone
aid a drawback to any community
who is not constantly on the lo«>k-
1( ,ut to improve ins condition.
Considering his many disadvant
ages and shortcomings the negro
deserves much credit for the man
ner in which he has conducted him
self, but he has not within himself
Die material out of which a thriv
ing and prosperous community can
be reared. And though he may not
be the controlling political power,
nor even have a loud voice in giv-
i: y direction to matters of local in
ti rest, yet his influence will be in
jurious and debilitating: for every
unprofitable non-worker is to some
;tent a dead weight in the body po
litic, and too great a preponderance
if this dead weight creates a load
which no ship of state can transport
iver rough waters in times of tem
pest and storm. A prosperous com-
nunity must be composed of a class
of population which can and will
mil together, and if there he an
clement in that community whose
intelligence and training unfit it for
dominating public sentiment, yet if
Its numbers gives it numerical
strength it will ever clog the wheels
ei progress, just as much as two
horses which never tightened their
traces would impede a four-horse
'team attached to a heavy load.
The negro problem is destined for
y ears to come to be the great dis
turbing element in our body politic.
Y.hhat must we do, or can we do,
v itii him ? is now racking the brains
of our statesmen, betuddling the
calculations of the politician, and
distressing the patriotism of the en
tire South. We have experienced
to a very serious extent the needs
of intelligent and trustworthy labor,
but have made no united effort to
obtain it: because even if found, we
could but realize the impossibility
of mixing and mingling it advant
ageously with the class of popula
tion already fixed upon us. The
great end and aim of our people
have been to attempt—though con
trary to the settled convictions of
many of our best thinkers—to ele
vate and educate the negro and fit
him to march with us in our up
ward. and onward progress. But
we.have but illustrated the inele
gant phrase, ‘‘the higher up a mon
key climbs the more he shows his
tail.” Up to date, education has not
,trade the negro a better citizen or
a more willing worker. With him a
lll tfe learning has indeed been a dan
gerous thing. To read and to write
elevates him so high in the scale of
humanity, that his dainty hands un
fit him for ordinary labor, and lie
becomes a king-bee in the hive, and
must therefore preach, teach
school or else prey upon the earnings
of his fellows who have not enjoyed
his advantages. Making due allow-
ai.ee for his many past disadvant
ages, and his good behavior under
trying circumstances, we have been
earnestly hoping and devoutly pray
ing that as the rays of light become
more general and beam upon him
more directly, that he would not
only become accustomed to its efful
gence, but would realize some good
results from its strengthening ten
dencies. And just at this place we
to-day find ourselves. As a matter
of duty and necessity the South has
m i will continue to nerve itself to
bear with these perplexities. But
all over the South there is a grow-
i n g feeling of unrest and dissalisfac-
iion springing up among the ne-
k'roes, and this feeling is being cul
tivated and strengthened by deslgn-
iik party tricksters. Every few
days their wailings and lamenta
tions oyer their imaginary wrongs
arc published to the world, and the
feeling among some of them is gain-
iag ground that it will be better for
mt race to pick up bag and baggage
and move away off to themselves.
long kept out the brightest rays of
the sun of prosperity from shining
on the South; and it does, therefore,
is
.that
the day star of our reeftmpthm will
dawn. In ante bellu/n days slavery
was not only :i curse but an over
balancing incubus in (he scale of
advancement arid general urospoi i-
ty. Slavery is dead and we are glad
‘‘mine weeks ago fora purpose, some
two hundred of their preachers gave
Utterance to this sentiment at their
convention at Indianapolis. It
!ll ‘i:bt be policy as well as the part
wisdom to encourage this migrat
1,lg tendency, for every day the
ements and drawbacks of barbar
ism; but the trail ot the serpent is
| still apparent, and its curse .-hows
an evident disposition to hover
about us so long as the material out
of which it came forth, lingers in
wur midst. In spite of defeat and
confiscation, carpet baggeis amp
seallawags, the worst element tint s'
lhe material progress of the Sout
has had to contend against, is th
slothful, improvident element ii >
her midst. We have all along ex
perienced its di bilitat ing and de
moralizing tendency, but nave in a
spirit of sorrow and sympathy con
sidered its abiding with uis as a mat
ter of necessity, and almost ot right.
The strong ties of old association
and kindly leeling bind us to them.
We find them here, and after see
ing and being with them all our
days the belief has become almost
a part of our religious faith that
to bear with them is a part of our
allotted penance, and the engen-
uity of our statesmen is taxed how
to build them up so as to exhaust
ourselves as little as possible in the
effort. Every day the work is be
coming more onerous and the out
look more gloomy. Were it pos
sible for Georgia to free herself
of this element, which has antagon
ized many of her well directed
efforts in starting out on another
direction—though for a few years
her farming interests would suffer
on account of the temporary scarci
ty of labor—yet in a short time the
tide of emigration would turn itself
loose upon us and in another gener
ation we would have in our midst
the same population which has
built up so marvellously other sec
tions of the country. With this im
proved population we would have
in addition all the advantages of
our unrivalled climate, and the
strides of Georgia and the entire
South would be long and rapid on
great highways ot progress and im
provements. The people of New
England would be glad to ex
change their cold, rocky and sterile
homes for an abode with us, and
the blizzard stricken people of the
far West would turn their steps in
this direction. There would then
be no need for a solid South, and
the great political parties of the
country could differ upon matters
of national policy, and sectional
warfare would die a natural death.
Therefore in view of all this
bright outlook if our colored fellow
citizens really feel that there is a
better place for them out West, and
would cut loose from our entang
ling alliance, let us not discourage
him. To the 200 colored preachers
who at Indianapolis so decidedly
voiced the intelligent conviction ol
their congregations, that tiie South
is not a fit home for the negro, and
that he has been forced to remain
with us to his detriment and for
our good, let us no longer stand in
his way, or impede his efforts in dis
entangling himself from bis unfor
tunate surrounding. Therefore in
all kindness and with the best
motives—especially when our own
interests will he enhanced thereby
—we should join heart and hand in
catching on to the language of Hor
ace Greeley’and advise every one
who is not ready in lending a will
ing hand in working the general
good, to seek another home even
if it be necessary to “go West.”
The idea that only the negro can
make cotton has been within the
past few years exploded, as has
also been the popular belief that
the climate of the South is too
warm and debilitating for he labor
ing white man. Every year there
is an improvement in agricultural
Implements and labor saving tools,
experience has demonstrated the
fact beyond contradiction that the
white man must not only be relied
on to make all these improvements,,
hut that he alone can use them to
any advantage. The climate of
the South is unrivalled by any lo
cality and its many advantages are
being everywhere acknowledged as
peculiarly adapted not only to ag
ricultural purposes but also for
manufactural and all other indus
trial enterprises. Climate and
soil, both combine in saying that
ours Isiadeed a white man’s coun
try.

I have kept that promise. In all the Shoes I sell, certainly some may have failed to give
satisfaction. It would be astonishing if it were otherwise. I have lever failed to make all
claims of such kind good! I enjoy no monopoly in buying good SID )ES; oiler dealers can
buy them, it they will. The difference is this—Some dealers want the profit, and don’t can
what they sell so the profit is made. I also like a fair amnion my goods: but I also have
some nride in my business. I take pleasure in selling only good shoes. I would rather have
the credit of keeping the best shoes than that very doubtful houor of selling the cheapest.
The Best is Always Cheajxcst!
I keep the best. Another fact I wish to call attention to,
gjT I EMPLOY NO DRUMMERS.
