HUNS1cUTT, JE., SPEAKETH-BULLY FOR
H1M.-At the meeting at Nep Nation
Hall on Thursday night, among others who
spoke was George Hunnicutt, son of the
Friend and Hero" who told his negro
hearers some wholesome truths, which did
not please them much. He told them, We
hear, that the southern people were their
best friends, and that they had better give
up the idea Of mixed schools. The peo-
pie of Virginia were willing to grant them
the boon of free education, and would
give their children as good school-houses,
teachers, and libraries as they would the
white children, but they would never con-
sent to have mixed schools. He said he
had fought in the "rebel" army three
years, and only left when he felt that the
southern cause was wrong; "and," said
he, further, I" since the end of the war, l
have done all l could for you with my pen
and tongue. am still your friend, and
will stand by you always if you will stand
by me. If you don't stand by me, you can
go to hell" Here he was interrupted by
cries of "Dat's enough Git down from
dar! Come down." The youthful ora
tor was not much pleased at this evident
lack of appreciation of his honest effort.
