Why don't Count Childress, Col ID. B.
Cooper and others, reSurrect the Literary |
Society? The Lyceum OF Franklin is still in |
full blast, increasing in interest, and fur
nishing plentiful and proper amusement
and entertainment for the young people,
and some old ones too. No wonder there |
are so many women and men of culture in |
franklin, when their entertainments are of
the intellectual order, instead of being, as
they generally are in other towns, of the
negro minstrel kind.
We often hear the question asked, "Why
lOn't our butchers furnish us a f1rst-cIass {
article of beer" We have the finest beef
raising country in America, and yet we I
nave no beef fit to eat. Why is this thus?
The answer to the question is simple and !
pointed: The people want to buy low 6
priced beef, and the butchers have to
ely on beef raised on grass, which never Of :
Itself makes good beef When Major Har-
an or Col. Wade stabilized a beef until 1t is
1t for an Englishman to eat, they have to /
lend IL to New York or some other large Z
,ity where it commands the highest market '
price, in order to get pay for their trouble !
md expense; they find no market for it at
nome. Rev. Geo. Beckett is trying to RENE
ly this condition of things, and we trust he 6
will succeed. Ifffty or more heads of fam /
lies will meet together and demand good a
1eef, and agree to pay proper price for it, :
revolution will soon be effected. S
Quite sensation was created last Sat c
friday night by "cIvil rights case, Sol. !
an ex-barber and intelligent col +
red man, wentinto Stump Porters barber L
hop and demanded "a shave. Stump was .
much Illustrated, and shaved him. A white d
nan was being shaved in another chair l.
)ther cOlOred men sent Cap Hardeman | =
yOrd that they intended to demand a shave 2
N his shop on Sunday, but they did not CO.
Monday evening, however, a negro named =
Bob Pillow demanded shave in Caps a
hop, and was refused. On going out he | a
lung these words of defiance back at Cap, | :
The law says you can shave me-" Gen. | /
Butler and Judge A. NJ. Hughes who ought G
o know, say the civil rights bill does not :
efer TO barber shops or saloons, and those s
'olOred men who endeavor to get shaved I
here have no right to do under that law. | :
We repeat what We said before the bill be- Q
anne a law-the cOIOred people, as a mass, !
rave too much independence and selfsre- 4
pect TO go where their company is not c
wanted. The law was not passed because e
hey demanded it, but for political capital. /

lIienation between thu whites and blacks Z
