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. take coal famine TO BOOST THE PRICES. To the Editor of The Georgian: Knowing your love of justice, fair sad honest dealing, I beg to call your I attention to an article recently ap pearing In an Atlanta dally apparently »S e news Item, headed, "Coal Famine— two Days’ Supply," ete. I have seen some of the coal yards and they have "" ahundance of coal. The coal people i cant b» credited with being such poor r nusirie., me „ n ot to provide during '"'summer amply for tho demands of mth' business. With tho cold snap this fake cry of coal famine, “no, in my opinion, for no other reason !“* n lr| advance the prices and rob tho poor people who have to buy coal from n *»d lo mouth, and In small lots, , ' 'nture to--assert, without fear of i *»<*• contradiction or proof to the ontrary, that there la enough coal in r "'aJl coal yards to last until Jnn- wJ? 1 and that the article referred to *s solely to enable the coal dealers to *d“"*e the public and add a fictitious ,,ue 10 their merchandise. Tour* truly, ... . N. K. SMITH. 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. slide. It wai the disfranchisement 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 this thing up, If the government wl start a few good, able men from each race, as well as each political, party, to talk the thing up. It must by all means be kept out of party politics.

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. Reparation la the only solution of the 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 or mongrellsm. S. J. COBB, Thomasvllle, Go., Nov. 1, 1906. FOX CHASE. By J. HARRT HITCH. It was among Kentucky hills. Where Klnkaltls fed by brooks nnd rills. We heard this chase whose wild refrain In memory sweeps o’er me again., We heard a pack break In full chose A mile away on Kidwell’s place; They came right on, that yelling pack. The echoes oft repaid them back, j Our hounds joined In with eager hasto And found they had no time to waste. For In’that pack were hounds of fame From Fields’ and Hendricks' kennels came. As swift almost as storm clouds fly, So passed those hounds with eager cry; Their quarry was fox of famous speed Some hunters said he'd ne’er been treed. Through Houchen's farm and Old- ‘ ham’s, too, Ran on till Falmouth burst Into view. Crossed Perrin's hill with one grand sweep. Woke every echos from Its sleep. They followed far up Slcklng’s-shore, Then circled back past old Green Door; Went thunderlnr down through camp ing ground, Where we’ve heard notes of different sound. They ran again through Houclieii’s farm. t On down the creek to Purdy’s barn, And as-they boro off to tho right Four hounds abreast were first Insight. By color, form and noise they made. We knew one was our own black Gabe; Excitement rose to fever heat— We said no pack could black Gabe belt. On through Pearl woods, through Bar bour lands, Past highest point whore "Done Tree" stands; Past Kavanaugh's along divide, < Their chorus grand-vibrated wide. J While crossing undulating land, Their song seemed led by magic wand, A" waves of ocean rise and fall, So did those tones we now recall. And each hound ran by tits own choice. ulse stirred so each gave voles; Oh. mingled chimes of natural art, j How well sustained was every part! We were not always In their wake. By stratagem would crossings make A score or more each time swept past And ne’er did cavalry charge os fast, Five hours or more they did their We'll let you guess some of the For all the way from Logan's hill They circled ground to Myre’s Mill.

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, B. B.

GRAVES’ ARTICLE ■ bell reit. 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. Wo have been treating this liny, taht subject with too much Indifference. Wc have been waiting for It to adjust Itself, until a crisis has besn reached when something must be done. Re spectfully, S. J. COBB. Thomasvllle, Ga. 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. Encourage thi SPLENDID OFFER MADE OF LEADING MAGAZINES THE RARE QUESTION.

Clear your courts of pothouse politicians and put your decent, fair-minded men In au thority, and the servile atqve will not have to ask favors of you, will not have to seek sanctuary In your house, nor will he seek mixed social equality. If you don’t want him to vote, enforce an educational clause against black and white alike, and notwithstanding the boasted taxation for negro schools, the educated whlto man should out vote the negro, and you wilt stlll havt a whlto man's government. But give every man a square deal. It Is a notable habit among white men to have fun with the nigger, to Joke with him, to jolly him, calling him pet vile names come back In klnfl ^ play; If he does. It Is a case of “hang 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 there b a genuine case of rape. Bat in any case—even the ones that a negro would not solicit—the woman has only to holler loud enough and It In a case Of ’’ burn the nigger, some nigger, any nigger will do,” I'll venture to say that half the coses are not proven, and sometimes tie woman’s cate would not bear examination In a court of justice. Now, we must protect our women; that Is sure, for the degenerate among them are comparatively few In num ber, and we cannot stand for promiscu ous social equality. But give every 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 again. ‘Til tlx him.” Now, I say wo must protect our white woman. I also say protect tho negro woman, since her men cannot protect her. Ilcservo h.-l’ In In” purity "f It"!' black blood for her black man, and thore will then be a distinctly marked color line.
