Wlj Assistants. l/U/lj LI y jp 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. Moye- Walrath.
