COLORED CONFEDERATE REUNION

The announcement sent out from
Jacksonville, Ala, last Saturday Of a
reunion Of colored Confederates at that
place was a matter Of considerable sur
prise to many persons, lDasmuch IS 1t IS
not generally known that colored men
were enlisted in the military service of
the Confederacy. For active service as
soldiers of the line they were not, though
large number in the aggregate were
carried into the army by officers and
many wealthy privates as body servants,
cooks, etc., and during the last year of
the war many were enlisted as transfers,
artisans, and in other capacities as labor
ers, thus relieving a like number of
whites who were sent 10 the ranks.
During the last months of the conflict
the question of arming the negroes ca
pable of performing active service was
seriously discussed and virtually de-
termined upon by the authorities at
Richmond, but it met with such a re-
monstrance from the army, the officers
and men in many instances openly de-
clarlng that they would lay down their
arms and quit the service before they
would serve in line with or command
the negro troops, that it was abandoned,
and with the exception Of cases men
toned negroes were not regularly en-
listed in the armies of the Confederacy.
Nevertheless the negroes of the south
performed a more important service for
the COnfederacy by remaining at home
and faithfully laboring to support not
only the white women and children
while the men were IN the army, but to
maintain the armies in the field. and
herein lies the secret, no less than III any
of the boosted characteristics of the
southrons, of their ability to hold out on
the field so long. So that, in point of
fact the negroes of the south during the
war were just as much Confederates as
the most loyal and enthusiastic whites,
and reunions among them commemora-
tive of the part they played in the great
drama are equally as fitting and APP
propriate, if they choose to do SO, as
among the whites.

Per cent.

This average is about three times as
much as the gain of population.
We think these figures come near
demonstrating that no abnormal causes
have worked reduction in the number of
people engaged in husbandry.
They certainly show that the fiippant
assertion of free traders to the effect
that protection has dwarfed and is
running agriculture has no other foun-
dation than the attenuated theory of
those who make such assertion.

RELATIVE DECREASE OF FARMING
POPULATION.

The Atlanta Constitution asks: "Why
is 1t that our relative farming population
is steadily decreasing? Why is it that ii
fell from AZ per cert. in 1870 to AZ pei
cent. in 1880, and probably to 40 pei
cent. at the present timer" The Chatta-
nooga Times undertakes to answer the
question and in doing SO submits the
following facts and figures in proof of
its position which seem to be conclusive
whether satisfactory or not:
First comes the enormous strides
in labor-saving machinery en-
ployed in agriculture. The reaper and
mower, the thresher, the steam pillow,
the sulky harrow, the farm engine
these have been multiplied more rapidly
III proportion than consumption Of farm
products has increased. A comparative
ly small corps of men operating two
hundred or more great harvesting ma
chimes gather the wheat from $1,000
acres of the Dalrymple farm, In North
times the number would be required for
the work using the implements of thirty
years ago.

manufacturers in the country has tended
to restore proper equilibrium by draw
ing from the farms large numbers of
young men to labor in iron mills, about
furnaces. mines, foundries, machine
shops, cotton and wooden mills. The
building trades are taking constantly in
creasing numbers to supply the demand
for preparing material and fashioning it
into houses and other structures. The
transportation industry has outrun the
demand. and this has lessened the supply
of farm labor and stimulated the inven-
ton and use of superior farm machinery
and tools.
The country is merely getting itself
balanced, as it were; and while this must
be clear to close observers it is not less
clear that the increase in agricultural
production has kept pace with the de-
mands On that great fundamental in
dustry. BY way of illustrating this we

production of Indian corn. hay, cotton

There is one custom which will probably
be observed in the White House for perhaps
the first and only time. and that is family
prayers in the morning. Mr.. Harrison, ever
since his marriage has never failed. except
when confined to his bed TO hold family
worship just before breakfast. The hour
for the matutinal meal has usually been 5
O'Clock, and 7 30 the family has always col
lected in the library, where the General read
aloud chapter in the Bible, and after few
words in comment or explanation he and the
whole family have kneIt and joined in saying
the Lords Prayer. after which he made a
special petition, either impromptu or from a
book of prayers. And 1t is said that neither
the President nor his wife have any Intention
of pretermitiing this observance in the execu-
tive mansion.
