Are you them?*’ * * In reply to bla question we say that %klle we are not tired of the negro we are gening unspeakably wearju^ tbs neiae that It being made about hjm. Although hli race makes scarcely' a of the population of the Union It at least nine tenths of the public attention. Froua the thoughtless prominence thatlsgtfen t/'hlm no special good can come either to his raoe or the coun try at large. - The race problem is a perplexing queetlon. All attempts to solve it sat- - lefaotorily have to far done more harm than good. The treatment volunteered has been purely experimental. The re sults have shown that those who have undertaken Us solution have been ut terly unequal to the great work. Let us tf^r to look at Its progress briefly and fairly. The negro, was brought to the Western-world by th« thrifty Puritan pioneers of New Eng land. When his labor in that sterile latitude failed to pay he was sold and sent to the South where a Christian cll- — mate and abundant production tpade chattel slavery a profitable invest ment. Here hli members were augmen ted by natural incroaac and continued importation. At laat, aa an incident not an ulti mate object of the war between the Ktatea, he waa set free by the strong arm of triumphant military power'. Next, as an incident not an ultimata object of the struggle between political partlee, he was Invested with all the attributes of cltlxensbip. In the . one effort to perpetuate the ruleof the po litical party that bad so long and des potically controlled the government no thought waa taken of bla competency to discharge the duties of this new con dition. Unlearned beyond the doing of dsily tacks in menial service, just emerged from the traditional alavery of Centuries, he was declared the political pear of the while man, who had been free from the first race creation in the morning of time. 4, Tha bottom rail was put on *op, M but when the bayonet props w ere taken •way It Sep pled to the ground again. Ihiriag the experiment of reconstruct tlon be bad been the cat's paw of the carpet bagger and scalawag. In the new world Into which he had been brought be could no more go onward vngulded than the tender Infant could take lie flrat steps safely without sup port of mother or nurse. All Ibis while, from the flrat emanci pation In New England, the Northern loteUeo*—not heart—bad been trained, by sensational literature and political dfteeusalon, to make war upon “the sin of slavery.” Buch education had con tinued so long that that institution eame to be counted the “sum of all vll- laniee,” and the Southern people gen erally as deserving of a separate ad- wanoe performance of the day ol judg ment, under the special patronuge and direction of the saints of New England and her emulous colonies. AH the wrongs end hardships of the pro belle* of servitude had been magni fied and< preserved. AH the good that iboeadeddu history had been forgotten unnoticed. We have no hesitancy In saying our bollaf that slavery waa an Institution of which-the negro got fsF the greatest Mhare of benefits It brought him from the unbroken barbarism of the “Dark Continent" Into the light of civiliza tion. Let our question asker, or any other person of intelligence compare the condition of the negro under the American system of slavery with the pictures that African explorers bring of his life in the race mother land. Here he learned the first lessons of civiliza tion and the strong hand of a superior was necessary to draw him away from the old life of his fathers. There he was as stagnant aa the deadly w sters that breed continual pestilence in its equatorial belt, as nucbanglug as its inter tropical forests that have never been thinned te the music of the wood man's axe. * l Had not seme of the ancestors of our questioner endured and survived “the •The eerth of pblltical distrust sown \ The faHroads liftlfli *ttte Will haul by ilien bands In tin* shallow soil of 800,000 tons of fertllltcrs this Spring the negro heart knd mind can not J>ring the yields of peace until It ttsf been deepened and enriched by cqlture that shall be long and sensible. { fi 000 Statesboro, The coddling-iftnd nursing tbcl Is ! *» l <»ihcr. being deluged upon him Rev. «f.

Although in the vc*y Infancy of hi* freedom his false friends are seeking to put him above the intel ligence of the white master race that hmbeen free from Its very cradle, that has led the wmrld's restless nftrch to. ward all Its best achievements. And the negro listens and accepts gich gush as gospel. He Is coming to believe the tniaukt that he was the In jured martyr of slavery instead of the truth that he w'ts its best beneficiary. He Is turning bis back upon tiie truest friend he lias ever had, the owner school master, w ho lias trained and ed ucated him for the future that must be met and^gone. through. There is more of doubt before him than has ever clouded his past. The natural Increase of Caucasian popula tion, with the influx that efill .conic, will, sooner or later, crowd him to the wall. The inventive genius of the white man wilt at last rob his sinews of their use and take the labor off the fields, in which he saog as a slave, from his fingers. • ‘ And so believing in OUT conscience we counsel, as best for you, as best for us, a gradual, thoughtful exodus to ward the fate and future of the wanner lands that are to be your abiding "place.
