The Race Problem From
A Domestic Point of View
By MRS. GEO. C. BALL.
I The recent episode at Abbeville, S. C.,
£. which resulted In the sudden departure
t o| the negro president of a negro cnl-|
I lege for colder, but more congenial
climes, serves to emphasise the lmme-|
mate need of a similar suggestion to
the many superfluous and Idle negroes
In various parts of the South.
The race problem has broken out I
afresh in nearly every Southern family,
and has been forced again to the front
by the evident concerted action of the
average colored servant.
It has become almost an Impossibility
for Southern housekeepers to procure
the most ordinary servants, no matter
what wages may be offered.
Money plays but small part In the
negotiations between mistress and maid
and ample, generous remuneration ap
parently is not a temptation sufficient
t» Induce servitude on the part of a
majority of negro women. There are
many dally evidences, to a close ob
server. of an understanding between
negroes generally in a determination to
try to compel the housekeepers of this
section to do the menial work of their
homes. As one darkey, glib of tongue,
remarked recently when asked If she
wanted a position as cook: "No, ma'am,
I don't desires any situation to cook.
1 don't know any lady what does. We
dons brought the white women to per-
spiring over the cook-pot and I reckon
before we gets through we’ll have them
at the wash tub.”
This deplorable condition of affairs
obtains In almost every Southern slate.
No portion is exempt from the many
exnsperattng annoyances incident to a
lack of reliable and sufficient domestic!
I Confronted by such conditions, thel
question naturally arises and demands
the most serious consideration, namely,
"How long shall these things be quiet
ly endured, and tamely submitted to?"
There Is no evil, national, sectional
or domestic, which can not be altered|
or effaced.
There are lines In the experiences of I
nations and of individuals, beyond
which no man or set of men can af
ford to go with lihpunlty, or with safe
ty to their well-brflng. Such a line has
unquestionably been reached In the do
mestic life of the people of the South.
To quietly submit any longer to the
■ !< inlnntlon of the negro laborer, male
or female, is certainly unworthy of the
white rare of this section. There must
be a means of relief within reach, anil
the sooner this fact is recognised and
notion Is taken to relieve the present
burdensome conditions, the better for
all concerned.
Negroes an a class, by their con
duct, have notified In no unmletakabto
f-hlon. the people of the Bouth, that
they will not accept menial domestic
r service. If possible to prevent It.
The gauge has been Insolently
thrown Into the faces of the women of
the South by these self-same negroes.
Now, shall not this gauge be accepted
and Immediate action taken In the
premises?
It Is supreme and hopeless folly to
parley or argue with the average
darkey, educated or otherwise. In all
of the crises of their history, negroes
have treated Southerners—their best
ami truest friends—as their natural
enemies and oppressors. This has been
especially demonstrated In times of
nautical excitement, when the negro
can be depended upon to vote—almost
without exception—against the South
erner, and for the alien.
Tho solution of the domestic phase
of the race problem must come, and
should come speedily, through the In
troduction of foreign labor Into the
homes of the South. It should not be
a difficult matter for properly consti
tuted authorities to Inaugurate Imme
diate negotiations for the Importation
of Swedes and Germans for domestic
service In this section of the country.
As Is well known, this experiment has
been tried on more than one occasion
and resulted unfortunately. This was
largely due to the presence of such a
preponderance of worthless negroes,
who being unwilling to work them
selves, generally did their utmost to
bring about dissatisfaction In the minds
of the foreigners.
Ilut under the present state of affairs
this phase of the problem need not
continue to obtrude Itself much longer.
The South Is for its friends and not for
Its enemies I
There are acres upon acres of mines,
of cotton and corn fields and countless
industries awaiting development at the
hands nf men who have the good of
this section and the welfare of its pen-
pie at heart. But there Is not a foot
of space In all this broad and glorious
section of the republic for the man or
woman who manifests enmity townrd
the people of the South, and who set
for themselves certain rules of conduct
Injurious and demoralising to the best
Interests of the dominant classes. When
any set of laborers becomes a menace
to any people the time has arrived
when that menace must not longer be
permitted to continue to harass or
embarrass the better Interests.
A dangerous Incubus upon the body
politic should be relegated to a more
congenial atmosphere.
The South needs all nf Its blessed
sunshine, all of Its prodigal endow
ments of nature, and all of Its marvel
ous prosperity for those within Its
borders who loyally build up and who
do not pull down what is true and
right and best.
The negro has the Inalienable right
to decline to work, If he or she so de
sires, but the men and women of the
South have the greater privilege of
procuring, nt all hazards, a class nf
servants who are desirable and efficient.
There Is a point beyond which South
ern patience and forbearance will not
go. The question naturally arises at
this point of the discussion, "Who
shall take the Initiative In this effort
to secure foreign laborers for the
South?"
The present acute necessity which la
Idespread and universal should bring
about a means of relief at the enrllest
possible moment. Cannot the commis
sioners of immigration of tho various
Southern states be Induced, through
certain commercial bodies, to Inaugu
rate some plan looking to the speedy
Importing of Germans and Swedes, who
can become satisfactory cooks, house
maids, laundresses, etc.. In Southern
homes? The demand Is urgent and
immediate.
The women of the South are the
grentest sufferers In the negro domina
tion of this section, and they beg relief
from their burdens at the hands of the
men of the South.
The negro can go North, East or
West In search of mors satisfactory
environment, but the South has not
room within Its splendid borders for a
single Insolent Idler. The experiences
of each day point to n well-arrnnged
campaign, on the part of the negroes
ngalngt the comfort nnd welfaro of
Southern homfls. The Issue hns been
forced nnd It behooves the men nnd
women of the South to find a solution
speedy nnd effective of this most ha
rassing problem.

many of the smart set, who whiled
away the warm days at some mountain
resort or at the seashore. A great
many Atlanta people went abroad and
most of those wbo did not go away
opened their country homes on the out
skirts of the city and kept warm try
ing to keep cool. Of course. In the
Northern cities It has been the custom
for year* for the "four hundred” to
close their houses—take down the
draperies and carefully put them away,
cover all the furniture In the house
with linen, arid store the silver and cut
glass with the banker—and with
retinue of servants, butlers, footmen
and maids galore, Install themselves
In a "cottage" at Newport, Tuxedo or
some other ultra fashionable resort.
But with Atlanta It Is a custom of
very recent years, this closing one’s
house and going away for the entire
summer. It Is a custom that should,
by all means, be encouraged, as It Is
well to see and meet other folks who
think and act differently from our
selves.
