ih'el.1 ration Involve, a question of fact.
'We meet tt with n ucrenit ».-y , dvntsl.
That the system of slavery as It misted
la tin* Soetliern Htotes was nei'emist*
Hied by nvtny eases of hardship and
cruelty we freely admit: that Its abo
lition la u proper ground of sincere re
joicing we do not hesitate to allirnt.
Hut It la nevertheleoa true that, looked
lit In a large way. slavery was a lifting
force to the negro ran* during the
whole period of Its esMenrc. The proof
lies lust here: Thnt when the war of
emancipation came tho t.wo.ooo negroes
In she Southern states stood on e high-
er levtl of elvllliatlon than did any oth
er equal nmnhot ,h.. same (M-'q.lr on
the globe. To deny this fact Is la kick
against two prick. Those who have
read the Stories of the great African
travellers, from Uvlngwton to (Hanley,
know II to be true.
Hut Mr. Aked doe# not stop with
mere genernllaatlnns. w hich ere always
matters of debate, lie asys: "The
.lave owner's power to hang, shoot or
whip to death man or woman knew
only the single restraint Imposed by the
•vaulting loe. of property." This la
falsehood, pure end simple. The eta tut*
books of every Southern Hate guard.,1
census. Maryland has 181,298 pure ne
groes. Virginia 612,997, North Carolina
483,S17. Georgia 773.682, Kentucky 21fc-
085, Tennrosee !88.215. and to on. ,
Speaking of the present condition of
the negro race. Mr. Aked delivers him
self thus:
"Taday that hated, despised end sin
fully treated negro race has 25,000 teach*
ers In Its own elementary schools; It
ha* 600 minister* of tho gospel who
havo been educated In their own 'theo-
logical halls, and live time* as many
who have nog had a (toiler, training
(twenty times would be nearer the
truth); It has equipped and It main
tains more than 300 lawyers and 400
doctors; It owns and edits more than
200 newspaper.: It ha* accumulated
property cxtlmited at more than 6*,-
000.000 of Kngllsh gold."
The Implication la that all the fore
going results have been reached by the
negro's own unaided efforts, and Inside
of the thirty years that havs elapsed
ntneo emancipation. The fact Is that
“the elementary schools" of which Mr.
Akrd speaks are sustained almost en
tirely by the Southern white people,
wht>. In the midst of their own awful
poverty, have taxed themselves to the
extent of *50.000.000 to educate the chil
dren of their former alavea. J.et Mr.
Aked dlgeit the significance of this
fact, which la aim worth at leaet •
moment'* notice from Ihe edltor of the
Contemporary Review.
The colored churches of today are
the legitimate fruit or tho faithful work
done enibng the slaves before the war
by white mt*alonartes. ’When the great
contest began, tho Methodist Episcopal
church. South, stone had 227,000 colored
communicants, for whose benefit It had
spent In the fifteen yearn Immediately

gather and hold so muclT In common
wealths where their rlghta are tram
pled upon with absolute Impunity? The
question newer** Itself. There is. In
truth, no place ton the face of the earth
where a common negro laborer haa so
good a chance an between tho PoLomao
and the Rio Grande. Hero he Is ad
mitted tb all the trade*, tolls side by
•Ido with white workmen and Is pro
tected In hln person and property.
Mr. Aked quotes Mr. Cable aa saying
that "of 215 prisoners In Georgia serv
ing sentences of more than ten years,
only fifteen were whites." Admitting
tho fact, does It shtow necessary Injus
tice? Is it at least a possibility that
crime will bo more frequent among a
raco of people whose great-great-grand
fathers wero ravages 4n equatorial
Africa than among those who havo
tOOO years of English clvlllwulbu in
their blood? But It la not safe to draw
Inferences (from n single care. In a
carefully prepared speech delivered in
tho house of representatives in 1891,
tho Hon. Joslah Patterson of Tennes
see showed conclusively toy a wide com
parison of statistics that the percentage
of convicted colored criminals Is larger
In the Northern than In the Southern
States. Cincinnati puta a relatively
mater number of her colored oltiaon In
Jail than Nashville.
Mr. Aked adds thnt “more than 1,000
men and women have been lynched in
the United 8ta>tes In the lust ten yeans."
Wo fear that this la true. It U a horrt-
rtble record. What our views hro on
tho subject tho readers of the Advo-
®*te well know. We have mtlitt.ilnetl
without mincing words In. the least,
thnt lynch law Is murder, and that to
tolerate it Is tto pavo tho way to An
archy and barbarism. But wo have
never once admitted tbo* these erne*
of lynching* are the sudden outburst!,
of mere human bloodthlratlnesi. m the
great majority of Instance** they have
been provoked by crimes too nppallng
to be described here. All along, there
fore, we mvs bogged the loaders of the
negro race to helo ue In our' light
against mob violence by teaching their
people to avoid the offences which lend
to 1L Whether this la n wise policy or
not may be seen from the fact, as sated
of perfectly trustworthy witness**,
that of 4ho 260.000 members of the Col
ored Methodist Episcopal church.whlch
Wi -under the wise guidance tor such no
ble men as Bishops Lane and Holsey.
not a single person has ever suffered
illegal violence.
Did It, moreover, ever occur to Mr.
Aked that a hoc ad and political up
heaval, the vastest In modern times,
and one of the incidents of which was
a deliberate efTort to put the bottom
rail o» top, couM ndt occur nvilhout
stirring up the worst human passions.
•As Gen. Brinkerhoff, himself a gallant
soKller In the federal army, has said:
"It U vi wonder that things have gone
as well us they have." It does not lie
In the mouths of people who b!>
Sepoy* from *he cannon's mouths, and
who with a year have murdered the
envoys of Lobenguta. and mooed down
his faithful black soldiers by the thou
sand with Maxim guns, to lecture us
In regard to our barbarity.
The texture of Mr. Aked rmlnd may
be Judged by the following sentence:
"There were great numbers of free
colored people In the South before the
war whose presence and whose freedom
need <o be accounted for. They were
free because, though their fathers h’ad
been staves, <helr mothers had been
free and—white."
The Ignorance thus displayed ia only
surpassed by the coarseness. The man-
_ _ _ uralsstan of slaves In the South began
tho Ufe and limb tof the Slavs with the I period. On** of our
extreme* care. Anyone that desires
to know the truth can find it out Dut
the Contemporary Review and Its reck
less contributor will, of course, n *t
profit by this ougmtlM, It has long
since become an accepted maxim In
some quartern that no rule of ethics
U violated In maklnar fall©* (ttatementa
concerning Southern slaveholders.
How will the following dv> for a cli
max? "Of I.OOO.OOO of the Afro-Ameri
can race probably one-half have •white
blood* In their veins today. Not until
the •black belt of AMonf !• reached
So the MMoodoi black to be f.nind!"
At this poind we are frve to admit that
Mr. Aked is perhaps to be excused. l!e
has probably never been In th-» South
ern States, and has Simply accepted
without further examination the crook-
«d figure* of pnttlswn new mpeto. We

could be beguiled Into such a state
ment a maxes us. Against hU tena«b
«tn*n we again put the facia at the
own groat grand father.-', as far
us ninety years ago, gave freedom
tc a large family whose Immediate
ancestors erere brought to Virginia In
a British sliiveshlp. There were scores

Tne brutal reference b> the whtte
men of the Southern states Is almost
too imfeeent to be noticed. We ha
lived in Tennessee, Virginia and North
Carolina for forty-nve years. In all
that time we have known one whtte
wvHT-n. and only otu-, who was the
mother of a negro child. The
Mr Dr. John A. Bros da* ci-m
that he. also. In an expedience of over
sixty years, has known only one. a
purer womanhood than tho* of these
Southern states does not Hve under
the sun. Concerning Mr. Aked'a per
sona! allusions to us, we have only
to ray that he utterly distorts our
words, and seeks to turn a sarcastic
condemnation of the action of a Kan
sas Jury Into aafcer approval.
IN AUGUSTAS SUCCESS.
This store has been established for years. The
present is the most remarkable August in its
history. Each day visitors are numerous, al
most continuous crowds. That’s wonderful, and
yet perfectly natural. Wonderful to create so
much activity at the dullest period. Natural
that the bargains produced by the intense ac
tivity of our policy should bring business. Big

SUPREME COURT OK GEORGIA.
eclflons Rendered Tuesday, August
14, 1891.
Dxniclly vs. Cheeves. Before Judge Hunt.
Monroe Superior Court. .
L A declaration laying damages at 91.000
and alleging that the nuisance complained
of rendered the premises alinoat worth-
less for cultivation during two specified
years, Is amendable by adding Thereto an
allegation that tl»o nuisance rendered the
premt&cH (uf*lly useless for cultivation,
and laying the damugo at 93,0V) Thus
construed, the amendment is consistent
with the plan and purpose of the declara
tion, which wat to recover damages with
reference to crops for the two ‘Jpecilled
years, and not recover psrmaneAt or
prospective damages.. That the amend
ment called Itself a "count" l« a mere
misnomer; and that the counsM who pro
cured the allowance of tho amendment
now construes It a» not conflned to dam
ages relatlvely"’lo crops for the two years
spoclfled In the declaration, but as ex
tending to and -comprehending damages to
the land for all time after the year-1881
Is no reason for renewing the judgment
allowing the amendment. If construed as
he new contends It should bo. It intro
duced a new cause of action, and ahould
have been disallowed.
2. Properly construed, each and all of
the declaration!* demurred to, should be
treated as claiming unmml damages tor
successive years, and nono of ^hem os
proceeding for permanent or prospective
dimagvH.
3. A nuisance to the plaintiffs Cleared

In overflowing or saturating Ui« Same with

crops for the year* Uffi-el; nnd the. seme
nuisance, having been continued with like
effect was again actionable in 1*88 for dam
age on account ot dtmlnlaneJ or suspend.
Cd fertility with reference to the crops
for the years 1834, 1885. 1881 and 1817; and
the same nuisance, havlrg been continued
with like effect, was again actionable In
1389 for dunst*ge on account of diminished
•impended fertility wl»n rerorenee°*to
crop of iw>\. If, however, the effect
of tho nuisance, at any utage, was to de
stroy wholly and permanently the * fer
tility of the land, so that abating the
nuisance and withdrawing the excese of
water, occasioned thereby, would not r*
store the land and render 11 agatnfertl)
the right to maintain successive action*
relative to subsequent year* ceased, and
ingle action and recovery for euch
destruction could be maintained and
would be llnal.
In adjudicating upon a demurrer to a
declaration, or a series of declaration!
which have been consolidated for trial,
the court cannot look beyond Die declara
tions themselves so as to take notice of
the contents of the declaration tiled In
previous action between the same parties
4in touching the Mini.- i.uinancc and u.*m-
ages therefrom relatively to crops or
rents for previous years. This cannot be
done, ulthuinvh a previous action may be.
In one of the declaration* demurred to,
mentioned in Uam *crras: 'Vetltloner
shows that he has already Died his suit
for the recovery of damage* for the years
1878, 1819b 1889 and l£L which Is now pend
