DISGUSTING SIGHT.

Two yankee schoolmarms, Miss
Carrie Z. Warren, of Newton, Mass,
and Miss Clara Belle Simonds, of
Erving, Mass, aged 10 and %, on
leaving McNeill's Station, S. c., last
Friday week, to go North to spend
the summer vacation, were attended
at the train by motley crowd of ne
gro men, women and children, and
the parting was quite affecting. The
Hampton Guardian describes it as
follows: "The schoolmarms began
to kiss the little negroes with relish
and for short time the business like
"smack! smack smack :" of oscula-
ton went on, until the ruby lips Of
the white instructress had slipped the
nectar from the capacious mouths of
every blessed little African on the
platform and bestowed a number of
"busses" on the shining black faces
of negro women. The tOot of the
steam whistle resounded above the
kissing throng, the females stepped
on board the cars, and the train NOV
ed off. If it was the intention of
these females to disgust the passen-
gers and citizens by this spectacle,
they succeeded. Such sights are new
to people in South Carolina, and
they are not disposed to endorse, aid
or abet the performers. They are en-
ployed by some benevolent society in
the North, and no doubt regard
themselves as missionaries in a be-
nighted land /; but, for the sake of de
cency and good order, they should
not give any more public exhibitions
OF their love for the negro or practi-
cal lessons in social equality"
We are sorry for the negroes that
they had to be subjected to such a
debasing humiliation.

A WEALTHY NEGRO.

Lexius Henson, the popular restau-
rateur and the richest colored man in
Augusta, paid $4,000 in cash on yes
terday for the well known Broad street
building, extending all the way
through to Ellis street, and so long
occupied by the Chronicle Publishing
Company. Lexius will, we under
stand, improve this old building so
that its ancient style will not be re-
cognized, and by putting about 81
600 into it he will makeit an entirely
new and handsome structure. He
will, of course, fit it up as restau-
rant and make it the finest in the

HARMONY.

EDITORS JoURNAL:-It seems that your
Smyrna Reporter has been telling YOU that
Smyrna wants the annual convention of the
Cobb county Sunday School Association to
hold its next session here. Now, | first
mentioned this matter in our Sunday Schools
after an interview with Gen. Phillips, sever
al months ago, he being president of the as
ISOLATION, ! took it for granted that the pre-
siding officer had authority to call bust
ness meeting of the association at any time
and place he might believe to be for the
best interests of the body over which he pre-
sides.
The President informed me when ask
ed for the annual convention) that the Con-
stltution of the Society required the annual
meeting to be held at the Camp Ground.
Then | suggested that would be greatly to
the interest Of the Sunday Schools of the
county, to hold business meeting at Smyr-
ma before the annual meeting at the Camp
Ground; the chief business to be the bring
ing together all the statistics that might be
OF interest to the association, and promote
the cause Of Sunday schools. We should
have full report of how many are in each
Sunday school in the county; how many
under fifteen years of age; how many in
school that have no bible; how many under
fifteen years Of age that are out of school
how many out Of school that have no bible
&c, &c.
All the statistics relating in any manner
to Sunday school interest should be com
piled and ways and means discussed and
adopted by this business convention, as to
the best plan to bring all into Sunday school
and put copy of the Holy Bible in the
hand of every one who has none
The idea of asking that we have this bust.
ness meeting at Smyrna suggested itself
first because Of the great necessity of such a
meeting, which necessity has lately increas
| ed, by the untiring work of the President OF
the association assisted by Mr. L. Black, OF
Marietta, only few weeks ago an appoint
ment was made for meeting at Locust
Grove, better known as Lemons Court
Ground. This meeting was held last Sun
day, one week ago. A school was organized
with more than fifty scholars, but few had a
copy Of the bible, and many of the young
men and young women had never been in
Sunday school before. A school was organ
lied the same day at Gum Spring, near
| Nickajack Creek, and all are in working Or
| der. Now we, of Smyrna and surrounding
neighborhoods, are going to arrange for a
big Sunday school meeting at this place
Winnings school wants it, Locust Grove wants
it,, Concord Middleton, Austell and Powder
Springs will all come. Let there be no zeal
ousies, no spirit of envying, no nothing, but
a whole desire to do good
We want the eight churches that compose
the Camp Ground circuit to send all theil
delegates to the Smyrna meeting and we
will try to send as many to the CAM
Ground Let the delegates to the annual
convention be the same that are sent here
transact the lawful business, meet at the
Camp ground hear the reports, speak, sing
pray and talk for Sunday schools.

A special to the Chattanooga
Times reports shooting episode in
the colored Baptist church at Dial

cheek and in the arm. Watkins
wounds are not considered dangerous.
Clarke was jealous of Watkins be-

IN A COMMON TRENCH.

No less than 1000 persons are an
nually buried in Potter's Field, New
York. A correspondent says
1t is the general gathering of the
unfortunate. Many of those buried
here have in other days shone in So
ciety. Some have filled professions,
but they fell to pauperism through
intemperance and other bad habits.
If the history ofthe dead in one years
interment could be given, what a
terrible volumn it would form. All
most all who are brought hither owe
their degradation to vice in some of
its varied shapes. Here is the gam
bier, the convicted felon, the spend
thrift, the drunkard, the rogue and
the courtesan huddled together in
the common trench In such place
it may indeed be said "misery makes
strange bedfellows."

IT is the almost inyariable custom
of steamship companies to bury al
sea those who die on the voyage, ne
matter whether they be rich or poor,
cabin or Storage. This is done to
keep passengers from becoming nerv-
GUS over the presence of a corpse
on board. If the steamer is only a
day from shore when the death oc-
ours, then then body may be kept,
but not otherwise. A person who
looks as if he might die on the voy-
age is not allowed to take passage.
The ship physician determines wheth-
er he is likely to stand the voyage.
