Bill Sajs Politeness Costs Nothing mid Pa*a \VaI1 Atlanta Constitution. Politeness costs nothing and pays well. Whetlier it is natural or artificial, it always makes an agreeable impres sion. The oldtime negroes are yet tho politest people I know, but they have nearly all passed away. There are two that we meet or pass almost every day, and they are favorites with my folks because they bow humbly aud give the sidewalk with alacrity. One of theni goes bent with age and deformity. His body is ucnrly at a right angle to his legs. He is set just right for digging a ditch or chopping wood aud makes a fair living at it, for he is no beggar and says he loves to work when he is well. Sometimes I drop a dime in his tremb ling hand, and he always says "God bless you, massa; you is a gomiucu, sir." His gratitude and his compliment always reward me. The other day I overtook him as he was struggling along aud, as usual, lie shunted to the edge of tho sidewalk to let me pass. I did if t have a dime, hut a half-dollar came into my hand. Out of mischief I said: "Uncle Jordan, didn't you drop this money back there on the sidewalk?' "No, sir; no, massa. I knows I didn't. for bless God, I didn't have no money like dat. Ijes had two uiekles, sir, and Ise got dem yet. I was jes gwine to Mr. Stanford's, sir, to buy some bread for Sunday.'' "I reckon you must have dropped,this money," snid I, "but if you didn't, you had better take it. You will want some meat to go with tho bread." His old gray head, his bent form, his astonishment made a picture. I would give a dollar for it in photo. I looked back at him and he hadn't moved. He hadn't taken it all in and scorned afraid lest it was a trick to get him iuto trouble. That old ne gro carries me back to the days of my boyhood, when I went to school with his young master, Roddy Gresham, at the Manual Labor school in old Gwin nett. The G r?sinons were good peo ple, and old Jordan was happy until freedom came. Nobody cares for him now, save charity?the charity of the old-time white folks. It has always seemed strange to me that negroes were so indifferent to the poor and afflicted of their own race. They will bury them with great satisfaction and ceremony. They will hire the finest hearse and carriages and buy a coifin with silver handles and have a dress parade and weep and wail at the p;ave, but that is all. The other negro whom wc pars and repass is a curiosity in his way. He is love crazy?as crazy and as devoted as Shakespeare's Orlando, who wandered about carving the name of his love on the bark of the beech trees. This darky flame is a cook for one of our neigh bors, and she will not notice him. In fact, she hides from him. Day after day he walks past the house to and fro all the day long hoping to get a glimpse of her ebony face. The corner of my garden overlooks the backyard of this neighbor and there he comes aud stands and poses iu despondent attitudes. It would be romantic and pathetic if it were not so ridiculous, for he goes dirty itUU rtigg?u and is nun iai Ugly. But he is always humble and polite and that will give favor and a friend even to a vagabond. These old-time; negroes will soon be the missing link between the slave and his master. Shuck foot mats and horse collars and baskets and brooms have already gone. The new Bet have neither good manners nor po liteness. Education and the ballot have alienated them. Our children and the children of the old slaves have no common bond to bind them, and the animosity between them deepens and broadens as the years roll on. I reckou it is time to separate, but how is it to be done and who is to do it ? Of course these good old negroes will not wish to go, and it would be cruel to force them. I remember when the Creeks and Cher okee s were forced to go and how some of the old Indians were left behind. I remember old Sa why on Sawny moun tain near Cumining, and how his old wife and four of his grandchildren were allowed to stay with him. When the old folks died these grandchildren followed the tribe. But, of course, force is not to be used with the ne groes, and it is not certain that any considerable number will go. Bishop Turner says they will, Booker Wash ington says they will not. One negro paper in Atlanta professes to be in favor of going. The other is opposed to it. Then? exodus is yet afar off, for Congress will not vote a dollar to it, but if their ballot is eliminated maybe we can got along in peace. Suppose we try it. White primaries should be the watchword in every town- and county, and then wo can elect legisla tors and municipal officers who are not afraid of the negro. As it is now, neither onr law makers nor our mayors or marshals will do their duty for fear of offending the negro and losing &s -vote. Dirty, odoriferous negro men and boys not give the sidewalk to white ladies on one of onr business streets! There is a regular den. on another street that leads to two churches and all the negro vagrants of the town gather there and as many as possible stick their feet or their posteriors on the railing of the piazza and spit to bacco juice on the sidewalk to the dis gust and annoyance of tbe ladies who have to pass there. The ladies have complained time and axaiu, but this den can't be abolished while the negro has a vote. When the trains arrive our Indies can hardly ?rot on or oft' for the negro brigade. There iR a down on one .oi our business streets and are always in the way. As the Constitu tion said recently in a well considered article, we must have white primaries, not partisan, but white, to purge the towns of negro indolence and negro in solence. They must be eliminated from the polls just as they have been in Atlanta. The dens must be broken up, the sidewalks kept clear tor ladies and thepasswaysto and from the trains unobstructed. Hen. Franklin said that idleness was the parent of vice and crime. The young bucks who congre gate at this den arc either living off of some hard-working man or son?e cook or washerwoman, or they tiro stealing from somebody. Every vagrantsliould be arrested and put to work or wo will soon hear of some outrage and have another lynching. These are perilous times. The old devil seems to be un chained- and is going to and fro upon the earth and walking up and down in it. The daily papers are full of crimes. White and black seem demoralized, and we arc getting hardened to the sinful and bloody calendar that every dnv meets our eyes. When will this thing stop? I started to write a little essay on politeness. The lack of it among our young white men is pain fully observant. Last week, when the day wns hot and the dust was* deep, a young man with his best girl dashed by two of our ladies in n buggy and almost stifled them with dust. They had to stop, for they could not sec. He made no apology nor said please excuse me, and yet he was from a neighboring city and Polis means a city and politeness comes from Polis. Not long ago I was eomiugfrom Atlan ta and a Marietta man who sat behind me elevated his dirty shoes to the top of the back of ray seat and kept them there within six inches of my head while he gassed away to his companion until the cars reached his town. I looked daggers at him, but it did no good. I leaned as far away as I could, and felt like treating him like I did a cowboy once in Texas. The cowboy stuck Iiis big boots and spurs on the back of my seat and I deliberately got up and?went over on the other side. I would have doue this tough, ill-man nered rough the same way, but the seats were all full. Young men eau show their breeding any where?in the cars or at church or at the postoffice while waiting for the mail to be opened. A true gentleman will lire and fall back and . while waiting for his mail give somebody else a chance to look into their box, but a sellish, ill-bred man won't. He will stand up close and cover half a dozen boxes and peep through the glass at the postmaster until he gets his own. The best man nered man at the postofiice in our town is the oldest. There are a few well raised lads in our town whom it is always a pleasure to meet. They make a gentle now and tip the hat and smile a pleasant greeting. There was a rich old bachelor who died in Jefferson some years ago, and he left $10,000 to a poor young woman because, as he said in his will, "She always gave me a pleas ant smile when she met rae.'r The Irish, as a race, are naturally polite. "Pat," said a good lady, "you passed me on the street yesterday ami never even looked at me." "Ah, me sweet lady, I was in a great hurry and I knew that if i looked at ye I couldn't pass you." My good father was an old-time schoolmaster iu the days when man ners and morals were taught as well as books. The first day of his employ ment down in Liberty county he made the boys and girls a talk, and said the boys must make a respectful bow' and the girls a courtesy to him before they took their scats in the morning. All complied pleasantly except the biggest boy in school, who said he hedogond if he was gwine to make a bow to any body. Father gave him a talk next day, but it did no good, and two other boys quit bowing. That evening at the close of school father told him to wait a few minutes. Ho reluctantly waited. After the other scholars had all gone out father closed the door and told him he had either to bow or take a whipping or quit the school. He studied awhile and said: "I'll bedurned if I'll do either." Then the row began, and lasted quite awhile. They were pretty equally matched. They fought all over the benches and under them and turned over the water bucket and raised a mighty commotion, but the hickory was going all the time and all the outside scholars were peeping through the cracks of the log school house. After a long struggle the boy save :ip and bellered his way home. That ?vas the end of all rebellions in that school, and my father's reputation as a teacher was established. "As polite as a Frenchman" has grown into a proverb. The whole na tion is polite, men, women and chil dren. It is chiefly artificial, for it is taught in the schools; but it is pleasing and seems to be sincere. In Mexico the politeness of the higher classes is painful. When two persons meet at the hotel door one will decline to go in first and the other will decline in like manner and it takes a minute or more for the question of precedence to be decided. In England the courtesies of social intercourse are never forgotten; no, not even in a quarrel. Two English men had a bitter quarrel here in our town while I was present, and each addressed the other as "my doar friend" and "pray excuse me" all the time they were quarreling. But still that was better than our American style of "you are an infernal liar" and "you are an other" and then a blow or a shooting scrape. Englishmen quarrel, but they never fight. Americans fight but rare ly quarrel. With them it is a word and a blow, or what is worse, a ball from a pistol drawn from the hip pocket. I have no respect 10? a man who habitually carries a pistol. He is a coward. Hill Aar. ? One of Boston's lawyers has not had his hair cut for thirty years. ? No man ever turns a deaf car to advice that coincides with his views. * $100 Reward"*l00.

Northfield Summer Conference?. Bast Noktiikki.i?, Mass., Aug. I*. Bditors Intei.i.iokncku : It will no doubt sound st rs m ce to ut Ont oi'vour readers to hear a man say that he is sleeping under two quilts and a blanket, but so I am doing nevertheless. North held is situated iu the Connecticut Valley on the northern boundary of Massachusetts. Nearby on one hand are the Green Mountains of Vermont and on the other the White Mountains of New Hampshire. The country is limestone and the Kentucky bine grass, timothy and other grasses seem to grow spontaneously and luxuriantly as if indigenous to the soil, and all the lace of the earth is green from the grass, trees and growing corn. The town of Nortbtield sits on the hip of the bills, or mountains, I know not what term to use, on tbe east side of (lie Connecti cut river. It was founded ill HW*, aud has 3,000 population. There uro tluee churches and a public library. It is not a business town but a town of .homes and of beauty. The people seem to lake an interest iu preserving the history of the plaee. Von will read on huge granite monuments here and there as you walk about the plaee: "Here on this lot was built a poop iu t<??" (?) "Here under a spreading oak was held the first public religious ser vice in 10?" (?) "Hern James Dickin son and William Hamilton, a compan ion of Dickinson, wore murdered and scalped by the Indians in 17-47.*' 1'erhaps the most important feature of Nortbtield to-day is its schools. Here in East Northlield, where the Convention is being held, is the Semi nary for girls. This school has in at tendance 450 students. < Ivor the river on the west side is Mount Hennon, the boys' school, with about 450. The schools are, iu the features of their work, Cleiu8on and Winthrop. North lield has Clemsoii on one side and Winthrop on the other. Here in the seven or eight separate brick and stone halls of the Seminary and in numerous tents stretched on tbe grecu tields and in the fringe of the woods the visitors to the Convention are lodged, and in three scpernte buildings they are fed. These schools hove been built by the influence aud'energy of Mr. Moody. The different buildings of each are in large measure the private gifts of indi vidual men. They stand hero silent testimonials to the willingness of some Christian men of wealth to give their money when they are satisfied it will be usefully and successfully employed. The meetings of the Convention are held here in a large Auditorium, built by order of the Convention and paid for by the same from yenr to year. The Auditorium will seat about O.OOO peo ple and I judge is about 3-8 or "5-0 full at each meeting. There are three meetings a <1?iy at the Auditorium and ouc open air meeting ou "Round Top" at G-MO p. m. The attenduncc at the Conference includes all ages and al most all names of people?pastors, mis sionaries, teachers, and Christian work ers of all descriptions and from sill parts of the country. The South is largely represented here, especially Georgia. Your correspondent has been pleased to meet here Dr. and Mrs. Osburn, from Columbia, and Dr. Hrougliton, from Atlanta. I had the pleasure, personally to congratulate Broughton on the complete neos of his victory in Atlanta. The principal speakers of the Con ference are V. B. Meyer and Campbell Morgan, of London, and Sidney A. Syl wyn, of Bournemouth, Eng., and H. A. Lorrey, of Chicago. Meyer is a Bap tist, Morgan is a Congregationalist, Sylwyn is Church of England and Loi rey Presbyterian. Meyer and Morgan are princes in pulpit work. Morgan is a master preacher aud Meyer is a mas ter of both preaching and teaching. All the meetings are presided over by Mr. Moody. "He is monarch of all he surveys" around Northfield. This is the home of Moody and Sankey, and Northfield is Moody, and Moody is Nortbtield? E verybody does willingly what Moody says. He is a born gene ral nad leader of men. He is a typical Yankee in bluntness, practicability and common sense. The singing is led by j a choir of about 200 voices, which is I itself led by Ira I). Sankey and George C. Stebbins. The meetings are "In j demonstration of the Spirit and power." The air is surcharged with Spirituality, insomuch that a young girl the other day publicly reproved a cat for catch ing a bird, "and that, too, at North Held." Well, I know it is time for me to stop, but one other thing. When one comes up the Connecticut Vallev from New London on the Sound, to North field and observes the rugged and rocky country he may form some idc a of the. underlying causes of the stead), stolid, frugal, flinty, ?ough and rugged char acter of the New Englanuer. Ouc striking feature of the country all along this valley is the large area showing signs of a past cultivation but now ly ing waste. The wood-covered hills with their rock fences marking and bounding the separate tields speak of a departed glory. An old countryman said to me, "These hills were once all cleared off. Up there now in the woods yon will find tbe ruins of the former homes, but tho young men have gone West." Some day anot her wave of population will roll over this country and reclaim the waste places. O. L* M. Cheap Printing. Law Briefs at GO cents a Page?Good Work, Good Paper, Prompt Delivery.

Hoi.i.anii, S. C, Aug. 1#, IWKi. Mi:. Kiunu;: I have just returned from a U i; day , Uit to Kiooi uud liait Counties, (Sa. The prospect in Georgia is worse , than in South Carolina. They have J hud even less rain than we. With the exception of a little spot of Abbeville and Libert Counties, probably 10 miles wide, the cotton cannot make even a half a crop, ami corn on uplands is still worse. Bottom corn is good, of course. The people of Klberton are making grand preparations for the Carnival nexl week. Everybody in Anderson County that ?-an possibly leave home ought to go. There will be diversions suitable to all. old ami young, of both sexes. Among other entertainments , there will be hoist- racing on a splen did new track, bicycle races, pigeon shooting on the wing, theatrical per formances in the splendid new Opera House, dancing every night in the J beautiful and comfortable dancing pa vilion at the Vauduser park and spring, with splendid bunds of music, &re., &c. In fact, there will be every diversion usually met with in such places. The people of Klberton are making prepar ations to entertain all that come, and then* are no people tiny where more ca pable of making their guests feel at home. I have never, in all my travels, met with a community more intelli gent, sociable ami hospitable than the people of Klberton. The town and country adjacent is still tilled with wor thy representatives of those grand old families that first settled the coun ty, among others the Hesters, H?ckers, Whites, Brewers, Harpers, Vandusers, Deadwylers, Adams. Greens and many others that I cannot think of. 1 called on Col. Hester, and at the request of a friend, Mrs. Hester, who is one of the most refined ami elegant ladies I have ever met. showed me. among other relics, a splendid silk dress and shoes in which her grandmother, Lady Tem ple, had danced with the Marquis La fayette, at the ball given to him on his visit to Columbia, in 182."?. The shoes are prunella pumps, with French heels and pointed toes, just like the present style. They are made of sky-blue satin embroidered with gold to match the dress. She also showed me a plate, cup and saucer that Washington used and a great many other relics of Colo nial times, including letters of Wash ington, Lafayette, Aaron Bui rand oth er celebrities. Among other books and due i un cut s I noticed a large, finely bound volume printed in Latin, in the sixteenth century, belonging to David Garrick, the actor, and friend of Dr. Johnson, and presented by him to Sir Win. Temple, the ancestor of Mrs. Hester. Mis. Hester does not ostenta tiously obtrude these things on the no tice of hor visitois. It was only acci dental and at the request of a friend that 1 got to see them. Mrs. Hester, among other accomplishments, is a splendid musician. In conclusion, let nie insist on every body, especially the young people, going to the Carnival, if -they don't have a nice time, I am no prophet. The ther mometer last week registered 100 de gress in the shade; for two days, which wns the hottest I have, ever recorded at this'station. Citizen, i UM mm - PlKgnh Locals.

We had a very pleasant time while at the reunion of Orr's Regiment at Sandy Springs last Wednesday. We are sorry to know the survivors wish to have their reunion at different points here after. They decided to have their next meeting in Oeonee. Another week hns passed and the rains have not yet paid its a visit. Cotton is opening very fast, and very soon this great mass of people that has been resting almost a month, will be drawn into the arena of the cotton field. Miss Myrtie Brown, from the Hone well section, is visiting her sister, Mrs. J. A. Stevenson. Some of our young people are atten ding the Normal Singing School at Salem. They are well pleased with their teacher. A good mauy of our people are think ing of going to Georgia. Mr. Robt. Milam has already gone. He reports that he is getting good wages.
