SOLUTION OF HELP PROBLEM. | {'
To the Editor of The Georgian:
The help question seems to have be
come a problem In this country, par
ticularly In the South, where we
depend largely upon negroes for holp.
I would suggest as a solution of this
problem that we raise our children,
boys and girls, rich and poor, to be
more industrious!-raise them to take a
pride In doing everything that'may be
necessary' for comfort. Instead of rale-
log them to feel that they are above
I ork, as many have been raised. There
Is an old saying, ‘'Idleness Is the devil’s
■orkahop." W* should all keep out Of
the devil’s workshop. When wo think
of It as we should we see It Is wicked
10 be Idle. We are commanded to
live by the sweat of our brow; that
means work. If WO fall to do that,
tve not only violate that commandment,
but deprive ourselves of health, happi
ness and comfort. We arc always hap
pier, healthier and more comfortable
when doing some legitimate work. No
man or woman ever attained to any
high position In life who did not work.
Then why raise our children to feol
that they are above work? It Is abso
lutely wicked to rnlse our children that
way. Dr. Hall raid In his Journal of
Health he lived for the good time com-
. t.iaa w ould bo ashamed to be
seen sick. I may sny with equal pro.
prlety, I live for the good time coming
when people will be ashamed to be
seen Idle, getter make that sort of
Impression on our children’s minds than
to make them feel that they are above
work. There Is plenty of work for
all to do, and all work that Is neces
sary to be done for comfort Is honor
able. No one should bo too lazy or
proud to do such wprk ns will add to
his or her comfort. As we do these
things, we will hot only noed less hired
help, but have better help, help that
we con rely upon; not only that, but
develop ourselves Into the high order
of manhood Hnd womanhood that God
Intended us to be. All great men and
jreni women have been great workers,
and, os a rule, they commenced at tho
bottom rung of tho ladder and worked
up. While all lazy people who feel
that they are above work never i
above the bottom rung of the Indi
that leads upward. It Js natural to be
lasy, but unnatural and wicked to cul
tivate a false pride that would keep us
from ascending the ladder of life.
The problem having been solved, the
Question now Is. Will we do It?
That depends entirely upon our edu
cation and training In early life. If
we were educated and trained In early
life to take a prble In doing everything
necessary for comfort, and to look u[
Idleness as disreputable, In fact, t
iracchjl, we would do It.

Acw irth, Ga., Nov. 15, 1906.
In the primary election for governor
of Georgia August 23, 1306, some peo
ple don’t seem to understand how It
was that Hoke Smith made auch a
landslldo In said election. It was no
Influsuco back of him. No man, no
newspaper. It was simply attributable
to his manhood and courage In speak
ing out what the people wanted (the
disfranchisement of the negro).
The fifteenth amendment to the con
etltutlon of the United States was t
{ treat mistake. The voting of negroes
n this .country has proved to be a
curse to the whole country. It hoa
been the means of destroying
lot-box patriotism. We have about
turned over the ballot box to the money
(tower, which means corruption from
one end of the country to the other.
“ roes commenced voting
buying votes, nnd are
atm at it, ana will continue ns long ss
they vote. The disfranchisement of the
negroes would give us two good politi
cal parties, from one end of the coun
try to the other, which would stop a
good deal of political corruption
—In the’ North the Republicans have It
all their way; In the South the Demo
crats have It all their way. Just at
long as this state of affairs continues
wo will have political corruption, from
end of tho country to tho other.

of the negro that cut the llgure. But
for the money the negroes get for vot
Ing they would care very little for vot
ing. Instead of tho fifteenth
amendment to the constitution of the
United States to put the negroes to
voting. It would have been a treat
deni better for the government to nave
saved all race trouble that we have
had since they were set free. The two
races were made too far .apart to ever
live together In peace and harmony;
which is all right and proper, for. If we
were to live together in peace ant’
harmony we would become one; In oth
or words, we would go down to mon-
grellsm, which God never Intended.
We committed tlio greatest crime of
our Itfo when we brought the negroes
to this country. They did not como
here on their own account. We brought
them here. As such, we should removo
them to a country of their own.
The Hoke Smith landslide means
more than disfranchisement. It Is a big
step In the direction of separation. The
next step should be to elect men to
congress to make laws to separate the
races. The main thing for the people
to do Is to agree to do It. When they
have done that the way and means
will bo easily found. The government
can send the last negro In this country
back to Africa, where their forefathers
came from, and colonise them !u a ter
ritory of their own, and help them for
years to get a start, for less than I
per cent of our assessable property In
ths United States. We nrs worth at
least *56,600,000,000. That amount as
sessed at 1 per cent would give us
*600,000,000. We have at present »,-
000,000 of negroes In the United States.
Add 1,000,000 more for the Increase
during the twenty years that may be
necessary to separate the races, and
we will have 10,000,000. The cost of
transportation to Africa would be about
*25 per capita. The removal of 10,-
000.000 would cost *260,000,000. That
amount deducted from *500,000,000 will
leave *250,000.000 to got a territory and
help them for twenty years to get a
start in their own country.
The very fact of making this wholly
a white man’s country would Increase
the value of our property more than
twice the amount It would

through the government. The people
North, South, East and West should
all take an active interest In separat
ing the races, for If the negroes are
here to stay, amalgamation of the two
races will bo the result; In other words,
we will go down to mongrellsm.
Can we afford to do that? It seethe
to me I hear everybody say. "No, never,
never!" Then we must separate. The
sooner the better. As a nation we
should certainly aspire to something
higher than mongrellsm. A good many
people think me will have another war
over the negro. While war would be
preferable to mongrellsm, there la ho
use for either. Both races should act
wisely by separating as early as possi
ble, which would-atop all future trob-
ble between the races.

negro problem. It will be aeon from
the above statement that the separation
of the races Is not only practical, blit
absolutely necessary for the salvation
of the white man. As Caucasians, we
should aspire to the highest position
among the nations of the earth. In So
doing It will be necessary to’ateer clear

SOUTH CAROLINA AND TILLMAN.
To the Editor of Tho Georgian:
Having read your recent editorial
entitled “Does South Carolina Honor
Tillman?” my sense of justice Impels
me to ask for space In your paper to
answor the question you have asked
the public.
Do the people of South Carolina hon
or Tillman? Yes; wo honor him. We
honor h'm because he etands for the
principles on which depends the wel
fare of this republic, because he stands
for Justice and fairness to all the peo
ple and not for special privileges to a
selected few. We praise him for, so
bravely and squarely facing the bosses,
doing all In his power to compel them
and (heir selfish corporations to give
the peoploijustlce.
I feel sure that I voice the sentiment
of every fair thinking person In this
state when I say that wo recognise the
fact that Senator Tillman has reflected
honor, not only upon our state, but
upon tho entlro republic, and that we
have honored hlpi for such great serv
ice and admire him none the less, to
day. We adfnlreil him for lighting the
ring lenders of his own state, and our
admiration Increases os he yontlnuos
to light those In the senate who stand
for dishonesty and oppression.
Wo know Mr. Tillman as the man
of the common people, who, has been
fighting for a common cause. I be
lieve lie bos done more than any other
man to dethrone the bosses In South
Caroltnd and to reinstate tho people to
their natural position. Wade Hampton
fought to put down the negro; Ben
Tillman fought to reclaim justice and
to put down a selfish set of men who
had the reins of the government In
their own hands.
■ Not all the people will sanction what
I have said In regard to our eenlor
senator, for some are sc prejudiced
on account of personal feeling and
factionalism that they ore unable to
Judgo Senator Tillman fairly. But I
believe that every one who has tho
lower to overcome prejudice will ac-
tnowledge that ho Is one of the great
est statesmen and one of the most pop
ular, lecturers of the day, end that he Is
tho champion of a common cause, and
an untiring and everlasting fighter for
that which he believes to be to the best
Interest of the people. And yet, some
of South Cqrofinaa best editors are
Incapable, It seems to me, of laying
aside prejudice and factionalism and
of honoring Sir. Tillman according to
his merits. In fact, I have almost lost
confldenca In some of our papers when
It comes to commenting on the distin
guished public servant.
But I am proud of the fact that no
newspaper Iq. the maker of a man and
that no edltor can take away from a
man that which he has. And I am
grateful for such a paper as The Atlan
ta Georgian, a paper fre t from the In
fluence of parlies and corporations, ed
ited by a man In whom I have explicit
confidence, and from whom every one
may expect Justice, regardless of per
sonal feeling or factionalism. It Is
with no little appreciation and approval
that I read your editorials. So believ
ing In your justice end fairness, I trust
that you will continue f<» support and
encourage n man who Is'so earnestly
working for the people as Senator Till
man. Yours truly,

right and proper, as peace and harmony
between these two races means social
equality, and social equality means
amalgamation, or mongrellsm, which
Is worse than all other race troubles
put together.
Separation Is the only remedy for
our race troubles. Separation means a
blessing to both races. It msy require
about 20 years to complete the good
work, but when done It will prove to
be, as above stated, a blessing to both
races. As such, We should all, white
and black, go to work at once, and
prepare for separation, for It Is the only
solution of the negro problem.

To the Editor of The Georgian:
Referring to “Tne Tragedy at At
lanta” and the race question, I was
much Interested In your statement,
’’From the Point of View of the
Whites." In The World today.
Unekllled In setting forth any state
ment or argument, yet I have formed
opinions’ on pome phases of the prob
lem, based on observation and asso
ciation, having been a resident of Lou
isiana and Georgia for about seven
years. I desire to present a few of
these opinions for your consideration.
Old Is the statement that the negro
Is not here of his own free will, and he
never would have been here but for the
rapacity of tho white man, looking in
the old days, as now, for quick gains,
no matter how III gotten. Now that he
Is here, and no means of getting rid
of him Is In sight, 1st us live up to
the golden rulo and give every man a
square dcal, and make s specialty of
the negro just now, because his caie Is
very urgent.
You ssy you are not a negrophollst,
absolutely without prejudice; granted,
but you, then, are among the excep
tional ones of your class, for In the
writings and In the orations of your
class will be found expressed toward
the negro all the variations from veiled
scorn to the extremes of hatred, con
tempt and utter disregard of the rights
or feelings of any black man. From
these the more ignorant take their cue
and, perhaps, more vilely flay the black
.man to his face, and,If he resents such
treatment. It Is "hyng the nigger.”
During the Into political campaign In
Georgia, a Jong drawn out gale of hot
air, nearly every demagogue who could
get a hearing seemed to feel It neces
sary to declaim that "this Is a white
man's government, no damned nigger Is
going to have any share In It,” or
words to that effect.
The negro Is not half paid for bis
labor, and by- means of exorbitant
prices for supplies he Is cheated out
of the face value of his meagsr wages,
end If *he protests he is abused, and
If he resents abuse It Is "hang the nig
ger.” It Is said Ihe negro will not work
steadily. White men will not work
under such conditions either; they re
sort to the club and kmre and pistol
and dynamite, but the negro has no
recourse In or out of the courts.
Your class say we pay the taxes to
educate the negro who pays no taxes.
Well, your schools, betide only accom
modating In a proper manner little
more than half’ the children, not too
Impoverished to attend, are a parody on
schools.
Olve tho negro a square deal. Pay
him decent wages when ho works, sell
him his supplies at a fair price, that
he may reap the beneflt of his labor.

the damned Impudent nigger,” White
men go much further with the negro
women. They take them to their arms.
This statement Is self-evident. The
negro must not look upon the white
woman, or It Is "burn the nigger."
Some white women are not guiltless of
joking with the negro, of suggestive
actions and. looks, and many other
things. Some are entirely too skittish
and cry out when there Is nothing
doing, and some are too venturesome
nnd cry out also, and occasionally

Now, we must protect our women;
that Is sure, for the degenerate among
them are comparatively few In num

man and woman a square deal. The
negro women are weak naturally and
their training has not strengthened
them. We order a negro from our
hotfses; he cannot order white men
from his house, for tho white would
get mad and abuslvo and It would be
a case of that damned Impudent nigger
