In observing social circles in At
lantic City, | find a good deal of
social rOttenness among our people.
| find to the infinite shame and dis
grace among a certain class of
bright negroes here, the hydra
headed monster creeping in their
souls in the shape of drawing a
color line and in most every in
stance making a distinction be-
tween the laboring classes and
those who have been more fortu-
nate by heritage, or those who have
been successful in getting schools
to teach, very likely with low grade
certificates. Now friends such
actions among a people situated as
we are, are obscure and unpresenT-
able to any nation. Such subject
is almost heartrending to discuss
before the public, ''but suffer it to
be so now" since the knots and
kinks of a nations progress must
be knocked off and straight
ened out. A few elites, as they
call themselves, who no doubt have
been stinted, judging from eircum-
stances, they hoard few dollars
and suffer themselves to be fattered
that they are picked society.
Strange infatuation. Let those
who are known to have good char
ters come in your social circles if
he or she is schOollboy or girl,
trying 20 get means to educate
themselves, no matter, invite them
in. if they are manual labOrers
worthy of your company invite them
in, take the load out of the fOun-
tain. Remember those hallowed
words in Ira ID. Sankey's selections
by Geo. Cooper: "Help your fallen
brother rise while the days are
going by" Let the stream of So
ciety flow unpalnted by putrid
thoughts of colour. You can't be
white if you are colored don't ape
the white man with your own ma
tionality. The whites will kick a
bright skinned man out of the mer-
ry building as quick as he will a
man as black as alpaca, it has been
exemplified here. We don't know
about others but Judging from old
man Havelow's christian conduct
and principle, it would prick him to
Know that such was the case in his
house.
