Doubt as to whether He is Veritable

Entrance Fees into dis Alleged
Order.
ATLANTA, GA. March 9.-There is some
stir among the negroes here and possibly
win be some among the whites over the
doctrines being advanced by one Fl. f.

are on "Anti-poverty and the Elevation of
the Colored Race" He made a speech to a
crowd of negroes in colored church last
night, which cccrsioned much comment to-
day.
SOME OF BIS STATEMENTS.
In the course OF his speech he said:
.'1Yho are the afflicted and needy of this
good SOUTH so-calIedY You poor colored
people who sit before me tonight. Ii you
had your rights every foot OF land, every
mansion on Washington and Peachtree
streets, every factory and every other
thing would be in your possession
tonight and the so called good people
the best people of the south would have
nothing they could call their own. Why
ere YOU renting some other mans house 10
live in2 Because the best people so called
have swindled and cheated you out of the
sweat of your brow.
AN INSTANCE CITED.
.There is an old colored man, a shoemaker
Isaacs, believe his name is, who has a shoe
shop ON the corner of Lloyd and Mitchell
streets. opposite to where board, and he
pays $50 a year for a house that |
could build for $50. In five years he
paws for the house ten times over, and If he
falls to ray one months rent he is kicked
out into the street. Is that rightl Is that
fairs II build house for $3.50, and you
pay me rent for it at the rate of $50 year,
why amt that house yours at the end of
five years7 1t is yours by right, and the
system that keeps you out of it is robbery.

raents ought to be DESTROYED. This is called
anarchy, ard if were in Chicago and said
this they would want to hang me, as they
did those grand, noble men who
resise the supremacy OF accumulated
wealth, Why should there be wealth and
splendor and luxury in the mansions Of a

Peachtree, when there is poverty and want
and starvation in the cabins and novels of
the honest, Woodworking colored men
throughout this entire city and southern
land

OBJECT OF HIS PLAN.
Here the speaker unfolded his plan for
cooperative order among the negroes,
which has for its ultimate object the equal
distribution among the members of the
order of the wealth which is accumulated
in the hands of few, by legislative enact
ment if possible, by revolution If necessary.
WHO HE Is.
Hover is the man who some time ago made
incendiary speeches among the negroes Of
Warren county. and was promptly silenced
with shotguns by citizens of that commu-
nifty. He got over the shotgun wounds
and is again sowing sedition among the
negroes. IL is uncertain whether he is a
genuine anarchist or is simply flee cling the
deluded negro for the fee he mu st pay TO
get into the order.
