TO believe of the South, but they are so
ridiculous as hardly to need contradiction.
There is no maltreatment of the colored

Another impression is that there is an
hostility to Northern men who come to the
South to settle Tho impression is that
they are to bo ku kluxed or otherwise made

man as that, to say the least, would not
get very hearty welcome. He would not

Southern people gotten up and kept up for

Another wrong impression is that the
people of the South are antagonstic

people of tho South submitted to the settle
