Thin i* one of the moet Important transactions for Athens svar made, for it inaugurates a movement that will do a great deal to build up and extend oar city. The gentlemen who made this in vestment control at least $1,500,000 and have the meant to carry to suc cess their great undertaking. The property bought ia only a nucleus, and will be extended and added to as fast as the demands of Athena an thorite- The owners are not de pendent on any individual or corpo- ^ ration ~td‘3evelop their property, as they can start railroads, erect public buildings, grade streets, or do what ever ia necessary to bring these lots 'into market. We learn that the idea of catting offs park from the land baa not been abandoned, but the company will demand to have a voice in saying where the street railroad most ran, so an to benefit their pur chase. The gentlemen who have undertaken this great work are full of enterprise and public spirit, and it was a great day for Athens when they bought the Lilly lands and or ganized. No immediate stepe will be taken to improve the property, an organisation mast first be made and they intend to proceed in a bu siness-like manner. 0RR Sc Hbn it nr m. * Goal * Yar Proprietors, PROTECT THE GUILELESS- The country is filled with swind ling agents, who are selling all man ner of flimsy and worthless goods, from cooking ranges to family Bibles, and they carry thousands of dollars away annually without giving any thing like value received. They prey upon the Ignorant and unso phisticated, who are as helpless un der the sleek and oily tongne of one of these agents as is a bird when charmed by a serpent. The way these swindlers do business is this : Being good fudges of human natnre, they select such persons as can be easily imposed upon,aad induce them to Invest in their goods by making very accommodating terms of pay ment. They manage, however, to get enough cash to about reimburse them for first cost, and then secure the debt by taking a mortgage on everything their victim has. The buyer does not consider that he is paying many times as much for the article as it could be bought for from a regular dealer ; but he only looks at the long time given him to pay the debt. Bat so soon as the notes are signed and the prey folly entrap ped, then the thumb screws are tightened, and the .unlucky buyer sees no peace or rest. He is regu larly. and systematically dunned,both by person and letter, and when the last cent that can possibly be ex tracted from him is drawn, and the debt still uncancelled the goods are seized and he loses all that has been paid thereon. In the negro these swindlers find a rich harvest, and they sell them arti cles as needless to them as a sixth wheel is to a wagon—a library to a man who don’t know B from a ball’s foot; a $50 range to a woman who has nothing but a peck of meal and a.few pounds of bacon to cook; large Bible to a family that will never open it; place a $100 lightning rod on a $50 cabin ; and hundreds of other extravagant and utterly useless articles. These goods are of the cheapest manufacture. The stoves crack when a fire is kindled in them, the books Call to pieces by handling, and the lightning-rods are as dan gerous as an electric wire. The prices charged are based on the gul libility of the victim, and range from five to ten times the value of reliable goods. Some steps should be taken to pro* tect ignorant people from these travr elling sharpers ; and the best reme dy would be to place a tax of $100 per day on all such peddlers. work, play, preach,pray, and educate himself and make and hold his own place among men. The lawn and the Constitution do not know that he is black or was a slave twenty-five years ago, and in the race for mental end material progress no account ia taken of skins. The negro cannot be deported without changing the Con stitution, and any change looking that way ia oat of the question. He is a born citixen of the soil, and is endowed with the seme civil and po litical righto as other men. His so cisl status is another matter, and the sooner bis friends and enemies alike separate acknowledged political equality from disputed social equal ity the better for all parties con cerned. If the negro wants to emi grate—to Africa or elsewhere—let him work or pay his passage out of the country. If he chooses to stay here, let him make his own place id the political and industrial fabric. He cannot be a citixcn and elector and a ward in political chancery at the same time. He cannot be the political eqoal of all other men, and yet be regarded as a helpless mendi cant. Up to this time the whites have shed all the blood and spent all the treasure to make the*negro a free citisen and a man among men. Now let the negro make what he can of hia opportunities and his privileges 1 It is time to quit holding him up' and it ia time to quit nagging him or making him an issue in politics' Let him make hia own political issues and fight hia own battles in his own way. His experience may be a little hard at first, but his only road to self-sustaining citizenship lies that way. It ia nonsense to talk of deporting free citizens, uncon victed of crime, and it is a political crime for the Government to pay the passage abroAd of a certain class of citixena. Let the negio alone. Give him a chance, and no special favors. Let' him go abroad or stay in America- Just treat him for awhile as any other class of citizens is treated.
