HAYGOOD ON THE NEGRO.
The Race Pictured as Making Great
Strides for the Better.

CHAUTAUQUA, n. Y, August 17.-Be-
fore the Chautauqua Assembly to-day,
Rev. DR.. Atticus q, HaygOod, of Oxford,
Ga, President Of Emory College. and also
President OF the John F. Slater fund, de-
livered an address, taking for his subject
Glow he makes his way in the world, or
Southern mans report concerning the
negro" In introducing DR.. HaygoOd,
DR.. Vincent said that the problems of the
war had been settled, and the men from
the two sections now met in fraternal
alliance. The Chautauqua platform was a
free platform, and the speaker was asked
to say what he pleased. DR.. HaygoOd
said that he was to speak of seven millions
Of people now living. All negroes were
not alike, there being as much difference
between classes of negroes as between
grades of whites. The census showed
that the negroes had increased largely.
There might be seventy millions a hun
dred years hence. When God set the ne
grOes free he also set the whites free.
There were no intidels among the negroes
They had a simple trust and belief in
God. heaven, hell and Judgment. The ne
grOes did most of the manual labor of the
South. The cOlOred brother was in his
glory as preacher. Many of them did
much good. some did harm. The ne
gr0's very blunders were pathetic.
There was a good deal of hard
headed philosophy in the negro. There
was very little danger OF Romanism in
the South. The negroes did not believe in
the celibacy of preachers. CartOonists
had done much to degrade the negro.
Without the negro preacher the South
would have been much worse than it is.
There were a million and half negroes
in churches, mostly MethOdists and Bap-
lists, and their religion was genuine.
Negroes must lead and help negroes up
ward. They had an instinct for doing
their own work in their own way. Wis
dom did not do anything for man, but
helped him to do it. Of total school
population in the South AZ per cent. were
negroes. The race was making great and
real progress. Northern papers quoted
what wrong-headed Southerners say,
rather than what the right-headed say.
The generous North had sent twenty mil
lion dollars into the South since the war.
John f. Slater lays down a round mil
lion. The church in the North had yet to
do its work, now hardly begun The
South was unable to do its work. She was
greatly changed for the better, and was
making a reasonable rate of progress.
Prohibition was the hope of the negro.
Georgia had local option, and saloons in
80 counties had been closed

MILLER COUNTY's LYNCHINGs.
The Last of the Trio Reported Shot
Dead in His Cell.


Dead in His Cell.
BAINBRIDGE, August 17.-News has
reached here from Spring Creek, Miller
county, that Reuben Robertson, the last of
the trio implicated in the Fulford wife
murder, for which Fulford and a negro
named Bradley were lynched a week ago,
has also been lynched. The assertion is
that Robertson was fatally shot in his cell
by masked men, who overpOwered the
guard and relieved him of his gun. Sukie
Robertson is reported to have been
discharged for lack of evidence
to prove her implicated in the
tragedy. The Albany Netrs and Adreyti-
ser has the following additional particu-
lars concerning last weeks avenging:
''The reported lynching of the murderers
is denied by our correspondent, but we
have since learned from a gentleman. Mr..
Robert Minis, who has plantation with
in three miles of the scene of the tragedy,
and who was there on Saturday last, that
the three men, Fulford and the two
negroes, were taken out of Jail on Satur-
day night and their heads severed from
their bOdIes-they literally had their heads
chopped off. AS this report seems to be
later than the one furnished by our Balm
bridge correspondent, it is probably true.
though we shall not attempt to decide as
between the two. Dispatches from Macon

Twenty Minutes for Refreshments -
Thus cries aloud the fiend who stands
on the railway platform when the train
comes to halt. AS he cries he beats a
huge gong or brandishes a heavy bell.
Then the people crowd in to partake in a
hurry of cucumbers, cabbage, tomgh
meat, unripe fruit and soggy pie. In
three minutes they finish the work, which,
if done at all, ought to take nearly
twenty. Then they crowd out again
and complain of not feeling very wen.
Pity for them. Those who have brought
Perry Davis Pain Killer with them NAV

disorders; but as for the thoughtless folks
who have started on their journey with
out this valuable aid to travel, what shall

ticket. Don't wait till the last minute.
but buy a bottle of your home druggist
and pack it where you can get at it With

ENGLAND's CATTLE DISEASED.

The Foot and Mouth Disease Brought
from There to America.
LONDON, August 17.-Mr. DOdsOn,
Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster,
stated this afternoon in the House of
Commons, in response to an inquiry, that
it was an undoubted fact that the foot
and mouth disease had been carried from
England to America. He said that the
Canadian cattle now suffering with
disease at Bristol had been in contact at
Liverpool with infected animals which
came from Ireland. He pointed out, how
ever, that the American quarantine
system in relation to the cattle disease
gave no security against the conveyance
of disease by the men attached to the
quarantine stations and by articles taken
out of the quarantine yards. The system.
he said, only took into consideration the
animals themselves.

on the verge of a water famine. All the
cisterns are drained, gardens are dried

market. For week past many persons
have been depending upon the liberality
of their neighbors for water enough to
drink, having exhausted their supplies.
Those who were well provided for
at the beginning are almost completely
without a supply. The indication of the
extreme want to which some persons are
driven is found in a notice posted in front
of one of the best known and most popular
