SOME SUGGESTIONS FOR THE BENEFIT
OF HUMANITY.
Editor OF the Herald;
DEAR SIR-In thus appearing to the
public through your celebrated Week
ly, allow me to explain that l do not do
60 with any desire to aaunt my name
to the astonished world, with an i'm
aginary bonanza, thinking to prove
thereby myself a philanthropic public
benefactor. On the contrary, modesty
would have held me forever at peace
had not read to letter of.the Hon. S.
7. Fortson in your last weekly paper,
who no doubt, when the brilliant idea
of his "suggestions" flashed wildly
athwart his brain, grasped eagerly pen
and paper, exclaiming exceedingly de.
lighted-"EurskaW With due defer.
ence 10 the "suggestions for the benefit
of the whole community by the Hon.
S. T. FOrlson, allow me to state that ii
is an old proverb among Doctors,
"When we would cure disease we
should remove the cause" Hence, in-
stead Of whipping the devil around
the stump" let US Il suggesD investi-
gate the present state of affairs; and
find the cause.-the stump-or hiding
place OF the devil, and removing that,
compel him 10 fee even, Mr.. Fortson,
should we find him by your own cosy
Preside. Looking abroad on this once
prosperous country, we find our people,
as q large majority, bound in the chains
of & ruinous credit system. We find
its working class, (negroes principally
with crops mortgaged to merchants
and monied men for supplies, which
are furnished them at the rate oil seven
ty.fve per ceAt. on the dollar per an-
mum or thereabout. Hence with cot
ton selling at seven or ten cents per
pound, the negro or planter Is unable
to pay for with even 9 good crop one
halt of necessary supplies to feed him
during the year. Consequently the
improvident darkey soon eats the
amount of his crop, aud the merchant
or furnisher then stops his credit.
The starving negro looks around
him-sees his barefoot and hun
CRY, ragged children-knowing
the cold, pitiless winds will soon be
upon him-he, for self.preservation is
an instructive law of nature-takes his
cotton in the seed and sells It TO men
who think II no more criminal to buy
seed cotton than it is for the merchant
or furnishing mOnied men to charge six
dollars for a barrel of meal, selling for
cash at two dollars aud seventy'dve
cents. Without one word as to the
different degrees Of criminality Of the
two culprils, with no claims 10 the
original idea, suggest that our Legis.
lature pass an act rendering the cestui
que trust law invalid on growing crops
or those to be grown In tho future.
By this, think We remove the protec'
tion of the devil, aud usury being no
longer upheld by the strong arm Of the
law, will soon be a thing of the past

The Independent Movement
ArOuSInR the Old Passions and
PreIudIces OF the Negroes.

Holly springs Reporter.
The colored people of this vicinity
held o colonization meeting in the
Courthouse last Friday night. II was
quite an orderly gathering aud some
what interesting to the spectators until
Ben Phillips began his speech. He
was violent in his denunciation Of the
white people of this country. In the
widest days Of Republican rule we
never listened to speech 80 vicious
and bitter. There was no occasion for
1t either. He charged the white people
with having practiced every outrage
against his race. He said they had
robbed, murdered and oppressed the
colored race till they could no longer
live here, and he appealed to them to
rise up and 60 away. His language
was Of the most incendiary character,
such as would arouse the worst passions
of his people. We hear he has made
these speeches all over the county.
They are calculated to do harm and re-
suit in riot and bloodshed, Ben
Phillips is smart and az mean as beast.
He loves to hate the white race. He
is very worthless and trifliug man
and Of too little value to this COM
munity TO be allowed TO disturb it's
peace and good order. He must take
care. We are glad 10 know that the
colored people here disapprove Of his
speeches. Several OF them have so in
formed ns. If they mean what they
say we hope they will not retain him
as an officer in their society.
If the Independent movement in this
county should begin to promise success,
we would hear of just such speeches as
the above, and the black line would
soon again be rampant. Are our people
ready for this2 We believe not.
