THE MACON TELEGRAPH j SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 25, 1904, 7 A BROOKLYN MAN’S THINK ON THE NEGRO He Has Rare Musical Gifts—A Northerner Decides, After a So journ in Louisiana, That the South Knows How to Deal With Negro Problem. From the Brooklyn Eagle. Please allow an old reader to offer In your columns a few random notes of observations on his travels during the past few weeks In the Sunny South. After a voyage of five and a half days we landed on the levee 1n New Orleans. To my Northern eyes the passage up the Mississippi was both novel and romantic—novel from the view on either side of the river of miles and miles of sugar plantations, and ro mantic because of its History from its earliest acquisition by the French to the present time. After a few days of sight-seeing In the old French quarters as well as in the modern and up-to-date residence section of the city, we took passage up the river to the rich old town of Natchez, then crossed the river to Tensas Parish, where my stay prolonged for a >few weeks. I had an excellent opportunity of observing the manners, customs and conditions of the white and black population. Waterproof was my first stopping place: it is a typical river town, uni the same characteristics belong to all of them. On Saturday nights n Jubi lee takes place—the great carnival of the negro population. The assemble from all parts of tho country within a radius of 20 miles, some on nags and some in rags, nnd in other kinds of conveyances, they gather in good nn- tu^ed and noisy groups around the general 'merchandise store, about the black bar of the village groggery. or assemble In its public hall, open alike to black and white. The music of the banjo and mandolins set the feet of the darkles In motion. Their perform ance would knock spots out of the best that may be seen at a Brooklyn vaudeville show. No modern Tagllont could dance a better fandango, and no Broadway sylph could execute a pass aeule with more, grace than do those dusky dames. Negroes are Natural Musicians. The darky Is a natural musician, whose soul ns well as his ears are at tuned to the harmony of sweet sounds. He is entirely fcelf taught, and could not be Improved. I think, by the best master of New York. His teachers ere the mocking birds, oriole and the thrush, with the Southern breezes rust ling Ip the leaves of the plum tree, the palm and the pecan, and dying away among the cotton nnd the corn. These are the darky’s teachers. Seld never waved his baton with sway and swing, and guided and governed better harmony than I heard in that smoke begrimed hall from those dusky sons of the sotton field. You may think I am drawing upon my poetic imagina tion, but go nnd seen nnd hear for yourselves and be convinced. In that hall I listened to such dul cet tones of the mandolin nnd banjo that I am willing to take hack all the words of scorn nnd condemnation that I have vented upon those stringed in struments. The darky is a natural born artist, as well as a musician. Here, amid his rough surroundings, he can produce music that would charm the oar of a prlma donna, and that without the aid of calcium lights, scenery and brass hand accompaniments: the rhythmic hum of the dancers’ feet could not be surpassed by thd most finished per formers on the stnges of Broadway. Picture to yourself a hall 200 feet long by 50 wide, the floor begrimed by the dirty shoes of those negroes, light ed by four groups of kerosene lamps, with an additional half dozen lamps hacked by reflectors on each side of the hall: then Imagine the motley group of men and women, of all colors from the face of shining ebony to the copper color of the Indian, and nil dressed In a style as heterogeneous ns a cargo of mixed immigrants. Their hats are also worthy of study, repre senting all shades of color, but all of soft felt; the dents and the creases might give a hint of artistic style to a awdll hatter. Then add to this their outer garments, decked with tufts of white cotton, which have stuck to them during their labors in the field. The women are not less attractively garbed than the men. Bits and dashes of color and finery are *ls much sought for and prized ns they are by their Saxon sisters, al though the old mnmmles may still ad here to the glaring nnd barbaric head dress of sunny Africa. Sunday Is Truly a Gala Day, Sunday a metnmorphosls takes place among the females of the color ed race. They come forth from the crude chrysalis of their weekly work aday garb and burs forth in all the glory of the gaudy butterfly. Then may be seen those dark skinned belles decked in nil the frills of fashion, fol ly and foolishness, such as are to be seen on their paler sisters in the North—hpts adorned with lace and flowers nnd feathers of the ostrich nnd the aigrette, the lawns, the laces nnd the fine linens are no strangers t* those dusky beauties. Organdies, de Hines nnd rhnllle*. patterned after the latest fashions of Iymdon and Paris, and mnny tailor-made gowns are In evidence, worn by many of the negro women of these plantations. Some Genuine “Topsies” Still Left. As the other extreme of this picture we have "Topsles’ by the score, who ••Just growed.” and their brother pick- nnlnle*. who look ns innocent nnd guileless ns little black angels, rollng their large black eyes, which look like pieces of coal In a cup of milk. The kinks of their hat rare as resistant as corrugated rubber. But the “Old IT cle Ned’ % of song and story, is known only by his absence; the old mammies and uncles are fast passing away. Marriages are os free as In Mor- mondom—sometimes a gypsy wed ding, by jumping over n broomstick sometimes a village squire will give more eclat to the ceremony, If not more legality. Divorces are easily ob tained from laziness, liquor or any frivplous excuse or caprice that may take possession of the darky brain, but there is no fear of a ’’race sui clde" among these people. Schools are not Lacking. There are 33 black .and 11 white schools In Tensas Parish, supported by a land tax. In one of the negro schools visited I witnessed the drill, the duties and the deportment of scholars and teachers, nnd I think they are in no case Inferior to the schools of Brooklyn, and, if anything, they are ahead in the "three Rs." The teachers are as skillful and accomp lished as those of the North, and the pupils seem further advanced in use ful knowledge, minus the fads of sew ing. singing, drawing and "making mud pies.” Nogrots Prosperous as s Whole. On the whole, the negroes of this state are a sunny, happy and content ed lot Quite a number of them own farms and cultivate cotton. They own their houses and have bank accounts and some cultivate, plantations on shares with the owner, and the ne groes who do the cultivating'get share and share alike with the owners. As far as life and Independence are con cerned the negroes ar^ far more hap py and contented than thousands of mechanics In the North. The former never know hunger.' have no fear of ejscur.sat for aoa*p*ym«u of rent; never freeze with cold in winter nor suffocate with heat In summer. The days of slavery are gone for ever, but the affection of the old slaves for their masters and mis tresses is as strong as if there never had been any conditions of bond and free. Of course, there are, as in all, societies of people, the rich and the poor, the thrifty and the improvident, but worry, care or anxiety never keeps the poor black from his sleep. He takes no care for the morrow, what he shall eat or wherewithal he shall be clother for he knows, or thinks, that some kind Providence, or his former master will provide for him. Yet one trait of his character is worthy of note. He has no kind of gratitude for any favors or gifts that may be given him, but takes all as a matter of course. Neither has he any feeling of resentment or revenge for any wrong that he may suffer. He harbors no ill-will, but forgets alike his gratitude and his revenge. The young negroes enter into their pleasures with a zest and simple heart ed enjoyment and take particular de light In balls nnd treating the women. A Saturday night supper is one of their peculiar delights, and they en joy themselves in the same manner If not as bounteously as the young men of the Northern cities. Such are some of the features that are to be seen, and customs that are to be observed. I was much impressed with the trusting confidence of these children of nature—bound by the curse of Ham and the demands of a higher ■ivlllzation. they have to a great ox- o nt to be hewers of wood and drawers of water for the superior race. Notwithstanding nil that has been said about the oppression of the negro, it Is said more in ignorance and preju dice and without knowledge of the cir cumstances and conditions than by real facts. The negro enjoys life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness in ns great a degree ns the whites. A good house is provided for him: he has no fear of dent day on the first of the month, no foreclosure of mortgage. He has enough of ground whereon he can raise all the vegetables that he may need, all the firewood that he may require. Looking at his condition from a material point of view, he is certainly a lucky and a happy animal. He spends his monov freely for the necessities of life, as well ns for many bf the luxuries, but like ail classes of laborers, there are «he lazy and the Industrious, the good and the bad. Sometimes one of the younger gen eration is sent to the penitentiary for carrying razors, brass knuckles or pis tols. as it is necessary to curb those black desperadoes, who are a curse to their own people, as well as a dread to the whites. In spite of all the hue and cry about Judge Lynch In the South, serious crimes are of very rare occur rence in the state of Louisiana. If n bad negro is found he may be brought befofe Judge Lynch or else sent across the river to Mississippi, where they say all the bad negroes come from. A Tribute to Southern Hospitality. In my wanderings through the South I, would be ungrateful If I did not to the fullest extent acknowledge the kindness and hospitality of the Southern people, and attempt to give a fair picture of my Impressions In a region where life hns probably moro social nnd picturesque Interests than anywhere in the country. The life of towns'I have visited—the progress of manufacture nnd agriculture aro sub jects which require more than can be said in a brief letter. The South Is still a Innd of sentiment and romance of happy and magnificent homes, of beautiful women, lovely babies and chlvalrlc men. * I have had nn opportunity to study the negro on his native heath and the stories of wrongs nnd Injustices prac ticed upon him exist only In the Imn ginatlon of men In the North wht were never there and have not seen the conditions nor studied the rnce whose cause they so Ignorantly espous. If some of these men whoso sympathies are so outraged nt the fancied wrongs of the negro would go down there. If only for a few weeks, I am certain they would change their minds. The people who shed crocodile tears over the wrongs of the negro, because the lines of deinnrkntion are so sharp ly drawn between the whites and the blacks In railroad ears and In stations, must remember that the proportion of the whites Is ns one to 20. So that the negro does, nnd must, occupy a position of servility and Inferiority In the social structure, and he must he constantly reminded of these farts by Judicious and discriminating laws. I have been speaking of the relation of the two races In Louisiana where have been sojourning. The question there is of more vital Interest to the white race In thnt section, nnd should have the help of the unprejudiced men and women of nil parts of the land. They do not want the misapplied philanthropy of the theorists of Bos ton, which may snrlng from the pur est of motives; but they do not under stand their untimely actions only in crease the existing prejudice and de feat the cause they want to help. The 8outh is In No Need of Northern Theorizing. Those who are not familiar with the actual conditions existing the Southern states should not presume to Nit up Judgment on the whites, or Indulge In condemnation of the meth ods of treatment of the negro. And the national, government ... wrong In trying to Inflict and Insist on a theory of government for the ne gro. The people In the North are a! gro. i ne people in tne JVortn are al together unfamiliar with the conditions of the South and. therefore, should not dictate to the white people and, In their prejudice, condemn them, until they have nt least mstdfe a careful in vestlgntlon of the subject. If the Republican party, now H power, did not interfere with the re latlon of the white people to the ne gro, a change of feeling would sooon taka place among the people of the South. I found among the educated and Im fluentlal whites a universal sentiment of admiration and respect for the late President McKinley and, If he had been a nominee of the party, he would have carried the South as Roosevelt carried tb<» North. McKinley’s policy was considerate and conciliatory nnd was winning the sympathy and appre. predation of the better class of whites In the South. The old bitterness and the ravagaes of the civil war are fast dying away like an unpleasant dream and the era of reason, justice and patriotism Is beglning. It remains for President Roosevelt to so snai his course that he may cement t1.„ South by his Interest in Its welfare, that he may gain the lost ground nnd stand where his predescessor stood and he the President of all the peo' North. South. .East and West He w»ll find that the people of this nation are. first of all. American, brave, Indepen- ent. progressive am! liberal and at u.. times believe In the principle of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness to every man, woman and child who live under th$ Stars and Strioes. that emblem of our national freedom. _ M C. O. MACK. Brooklyn. Dec. 1. 1004. A Bath House Mistake. Around Stockholm, says the St James Gazette, there are many sub urban resorts where sea bathing is in dulged in when the weather is warm enough. At one of these resorts visitor observed a large signboard a gateway, reading: "DAM BAD HAtXN." This notice gave him quite a shock, until he found out it meant "Ladles Bath House.' Absent Treatment "Old Hunks is one of the crankiest and most disagreeable men I ever met. but they sav he has a delightful home.’ "Well. It’s true. He spends three fourths of his tints aw«y from Chicago Tribute. CHINA’S SAFE BANKS. When Bankers Fail In the Flowery Kingdom They are Beheaded. From the New York World. Col. H. O. 8. Helstand, Assistant Adjutant-General, U. H. A., has, lock up In his safe at department head quarters on Governor’3 Island, a Chi nese bank-note, only one other of which is known to be in existence. That other one Is in the possession of the British Museum. The bank note which is guarded so zealously by • Col. Helstond, Is moro than 15 inches long, very nearly a foot width, and is gray and crumbling with age. The good quality of the ink used by the Chinese Is evidenced the clearness of the characters, considering that the note was printed 1401 A. D., or nearly 100 years be fore Columbus set foot on the shores America. This ancient specimen of John Chi naman's banking efforts was secured Col. Helstand during the occupa tion of Pekin by the foreign troops in 1900, when he was chief of staff of the American forces In China. The bank not© is an accurate proof of the anti quity of certain customs which are In vogue to some extent throughout the civilized world today. While Colum bus was trying to mnke an egg stand on ehd and to prove that the earth was round, the Chinese were printing newspapers. They had banking laws and were versed In philosophy and science to a degree that far exceeded the knowledge of the discoverers of the New World. The custom bequeathed to present day civilization Is that \of burying in the corner-stone of public buildings and places of worship coins of the nation. The bank note secured by Col. Helstand was found in the stomach of Buddha idol which was thrown down and broken at the time of the fire In the Summer Palace in Pekin, during the occupation of the city by the foreign troops. The note came into his possession intact, together with specimens of nil other forms of Chinese currency. The bank note was taken to the leading Chinese scholars of the empire, who identlcity. It is a treasury note Issued by the Chinese Board of Revenue dur ing the reign of Hung Wu, In 1401 A. D.. the first emperor of the Wing dy nasty. Similar notes were then in general circulation and were equival ent in value to one thousand Chinese pennies, one tael or one ounce of pure silver. The laws agnlnst counterfeiting In China are much more severe than in Uncle Sam's domain, and while the hank notes, were In circulation Hung Wu, who must have been a strenuous monarch, authorized the Chlnece Board of Revenue to behead hip who should counterfeit a note nnd to re ward with 250 taels any person who should arrest the counterfeiter. Chinese bunking laws are all severe, but. according to Chinese savants, the end has justified the means employed to keep the nation free of "frenzied finance." When a bank falls in China all the clerks nnd mnnngcrs have their heads cut off nnd thrown among the hooks of the firm, which are set on fire. As a result of this penalty for over 700 years u bank hns never been known to fall. Why Make Exceptions? From the Haverhill Gazette. One of the army officers who has re cently made his report thinks thnt tho allowance to major-generals of $72 a month for house rent is insufficient and should he increased. Why not re strain the major-generals from mar rying unless they can show an accu mulation of savings which will permit them to meot their bills, including the house rent?
