The friends of The Banner are invit ed to call to see us in oar new home on Lumpkin street. There will be mnoh kicking on the present convict lease system in the com ing general assembly. The Elks carnival committees held Important meetings last night and the oarnival is coming on in good shape. The Wheat and Oat Fair, which was to have been held this week has been postponed and will be held daring the Elks Carnival. Sledd made a mistake by asking peo ple to read his article before critlslng him. Heading the oomplete article makes the thing worse. The esteemed Oglethorpe Echo will sorely admit now that the progressive little city of Lexington will lose Col Hamp McWhorter to Athens. Every business man in the city should lend a helping hand to the Elks. They are engaged in a movement that will result in great benefit to Athent. THE NEGRO IN THE SOUTH. | Now and then some southern white man makes himself rediculous by en deavoring to explain to the people of the North how brutally the negro is treated in this si o'icn. As a rale thii is the re suit of thirst for notoriety on the part of the southerner ; sometimes it is the result of ignorance and not infrequent ly it romos from a desire to create strife. Ttie people of the north are responsi ble for the presence of the negro in this i on itry. They were the first slave own ers in the United States and not until they found that the negro conld not be vorked with profit in the cold climate jf the North did they display any great horror for the custom of slave-holding The slaves were sold to the people of the South and at a good price, and there is no reason why the Northern people should endeavor to act as the guardians of the negro. They have no love for the negro,except at long ramie. and there is no excuse for any Interference from the people of the North In the matter of thi treatment of the negro by the people ot the South, in an address before the New Eng land Society in New Fork city on Dec 22nd. 1889, Henry W. Grady told tin people of the North that the southern people were competent to handle thi negro and that the people of this sec tion would handle him without the as sistance of others at long range. Hi told them that we were keeping faiil with the negro and would continue to do so. Speaking of the relations existing between the members of the two race, he said. "The relations of the South ern people with the negro are close anc cordial. We remember with what fi delity for four years he guarded our de fenceless women and children whote husbands and fathers were fighting against his freedom. To his eternal credit be it said that whenever he struct a blow for his own liberty he fought ii open battle, and when at last he raised his black and humble hands that thi shackles might be struck off, thou hands were innooeut of wrong againsi his helpless charges, and worthy to le taken in loving grasp by every man who honors loyalty and devotion,” o nobler tribute was ever paid !o the members of any race, and the loyal ty and devotion Mr. Grady speke of car only be fully undi rstood and apprecia ted by the people of the South. Vet al of those who went to the army from thi South daring the oivil war and left theii homes in charge of negro Blaves felt imre that their affairs were in gord hands. Tho same friendly and cordisl relations have been kept up by the pet - pie of the South with the better element of the negro lace. Speaking farther of the negro in tie South, Mr Grady said : "Ruffians have maltreated him, rascals have misled him, philanthropists established a bank for him, bnt tho South, with the North, protests against in justice to this simple and sincere people.” The Banner does not set itself np rb what some call a "negro lover,” neither are we "negro hatere." Along with all others, we desire to see the negro get fall justice, and wo are convinced that the worthy and deserving {negro of the South does get full justice. As Mr. Grady set oat, there are rnffiians and rascalB who maltreat and mislead the negro, bnt there are rare cases. Mach more frequently do worthless members of the negro ruoe impose npon the white people who have befriended them. There is paactically no trouble br. tween the white people of the South and the better element of the negro race, and the tronble that arises from time to time between the whites and worth less members of the negro race can be taken care of by the white people of the Sonth without any outside interference, and this will be done. The Southern people have never yet allowed persons from other sections to interfere with onr planB for looking after the negro and this will never be tolerated. — and lias beer { , sonal snpervi Allow no one The Kind Yon Have Always Bought, and wliicli lias boon use for over 30 years, has borne the signature of and lias been made under liis per- vision since Its infancy.
