and so did Black Jack Logan. All thi:
is history. What commentary upon
principle and patriotism.
But the friction goes on. Genera
Lewis, the new postmaster in Atlanta
has put negro by the side of q white
woman in the postoifce, which he was
not obliged to do and could have avoided
if he had wanted to. Right there j:
where the friction comes in. Socia
equality cannot be forced upon our peo
pie by General Lewis or his master
They have tried it for twenty-five year:
and we thought they had given it up, bu
every little while it breaks out in new
form. Our people gave Mrs. Garfield
and General Lewis social equality, and 8
warm welcome, but it is not appreciated
They don't understand our position on
the negro question. It does not matter
with us whether he is educated or not, OF
whether they are increasing faster thar
the whites or not, the negro was given q
back seat by the God who made him and
he will keep it. Charles Dudley Warner
knows how it is and has spoken. The
negro knows how it is and would be
content if the fools and fanatics of the
north would let him alone. The solution
of the problem is just this. When they
get too smart they will be removed and
that in hurry. We had to remove the
Indians because We couldn't get along
with them. We will let the good negroes
stay and make the others go. See if we
don't. There is plenty of room in the
world. Six millions of negroes scattered
over the great west wouldn't afflict any
body, and there is lots of room in Mexi.
co. used to think that the world was
most full of people but it is not. China
has only 60 to the square mile, while
Rhode Island has 254 and Belgium $50.
If Texas was as full of people as Belgium
she would have 125,0o0,OO0; twice as
mauy as are in the United States. 1t
looks like an acre would support one
person andthat would be!G4O.to the square
mile and that would be over 2,OOO,0 100000
in the United States. So we are not
alarmed about the land. We will find
enough to put the negroes on whenever
the north drives US to that necessity.
But reckon they will let us alone after
while. There is friction, and there is
grease, too. When those New York
Zouayes came down to Fort Valley to the
reunion of the Third Georgia regiment
they lubracated things smartly. Every
time the blue and the gray get together
there is grease. Charles Dudly Warner
creased us at Suwanee. DR.. Mayo, of
Boston, greases things every time he
talks. Henry Grady poured on good
deal of grease in New York, but it don't
seem to last, and I reckon he will have
to 60 back again. They say now it was
another Grady. And there is friction in
the whiskey business-a good deal of
friction and mighty little oil. The white
folks Of Rome could have voted whiskey
out, but the negroes voted it in. They
are in for all the devilish liberty they can
get. The white women and children and
preachers and all those who have suffered
we're for protection, but the careless and
selfish and the niggers were the other
way. Iasked a Rome barber how the
colored BARRIERS we're going to vote, and
he said: "For whisky, of course, sir.
Whisky is q good thing for the BARRIERS
business. Let young man get drink
or too ahead and he is liberal with his
money, and it takes more cigars and
twice as much shaving and shampooing
to do him. His head gets hot and his
face gets sorter red, and if he is going out
to Bee the girls that night he has to be
| rubbed down and cooled off and powdered
{ up. A young man who don't drink don't
| spend half as much money as one who
does. Plenty Of whisky and barrooms
close by is good thing for the BARRIERS
it is shave" But those who have suffer.
ed-think of them-the heart.broken
mother who sees her first born going to
ruin day by day; the silent.sufering
father whose hopes have been crushed ;
Che young wife whose lovely room is filed
with sorrows and shadows. What q
picture WAS that LaDghorn drew-and
Burns wept over. I have thought of that
young mother with the babe at her breast
thousand times.
"Bcnt o'cr her babe-heI eyes dissolved with dew,
The big drops mingling With the milk 1t drew,
Sad is the passage of It's future years,
| a child of misery baptized In tears"
If the kind, thoughtful people only
knew of the misery, the grief, the heart
breakiDgs that shadow the hearthstone
and be.dews the pillows with tears they
would have pity, more pity, for the silent
sufferers who keep their griefa secret--se.
cret because it is sacred. This is friction
for which there is no oil. We can endure
all troubles but those that invade the
love of our hearts for husband, or wife
or children. a family without friction
among its members is type of heaven
AIay God grant such boon to all o.
