Shall We Boycott the North /?

At the meeting Of the Board OF Directors
of the Chamber Of Commerce held yester'
dsv evening the Atlanta proposition TO
hold a convention Of southern business
men in the event the force bill is passed
was considered. The conclusion reached
was that il would be better to make no
movcmsnt now.
One member whose judgment ard So
gacity are generally recognized in the CON-
munity expressed his conviction that II
ANYTHING was needed 10 urge the Radical
senators TO pass the bill it was to have evil
dence that the measure would be hurtful
90 southern industries.
This is an unhappy fact. 1t IS sad to
think about il. We do not believe that all
the Republicans are actuated by this SOUL
less purpose, but that most of their lead
srs are willing to crush us politically, so
oislly and financially we have recent
proofs that admit of no dispute.
That the force bill will be unjust and in
furious to us in every respect our Senators
and Representatives In Congress and our
public press have distinctly and un'
ceasingly informed the country. Sena-
tors especially are well posted on
this point. II they adopt the measure
il will be over our protests. in defiance
of our rights. and with deliberate and IN
excusable purpose TO libel and Cypress us.
That il will cause an estrangement be-
tween the sections greater than was over
known since 1865 there can be no doubt.
This being so. shall we attempt to boy
colt northern trade? We say no. Surely
some better method will be found to
awaken the conscience of the North.
Virginia will feel the indignity put upon
her and her sisters of the South as keenly
Ms any State in the Union. We have here a
United States Circuit judge who will show
us nofavors. We have MALONE allied with
the enemy. but we shall trust TO the true
hearted whites Of the Commonwealth and
expect TO have them on our side with a
unanmity and determination unprece-
dented. Then let the worst come; we will
pass through the storm in safety.
We are not unconcerned about our
southern sisters. but believe we can
help them more effectually than by join
ing in boycott. When the danger ripens
all OF us will have our wits reused, and
way out will be found.

GOVERNOR GoRooN'S WORDS.
He Declares in Favor of the Boycott IL the
Force Bill is Passed.
-. n, J,I,. OF 1oQ0

ATLANTA, GA., July Il, loJo'
To he Editor Of the Herald:
nm in entire accord with the spirit,
tone. and practical suggestions OF the At
lanta Constitution as to the use OF the boy-
colt as means OF self-preservatlon and
commercial Independence the useless ana
infamous force bill becomes law. More;
over, that spirit will possess ana controi
approximately every white man. woman,
and child in the southern States.
1t may be permissible to make personal
al]uslon as illustrating the effect OF such
legislation upon our people. AS the b0dn
knows. have labored constantly and earn
estlv since the 9Th day OF April 1865. IN
public and private, at the South and the
North. to allay passion and promote unity.
Nv highest political ambition has been TO
be instrumental in some degree IN restoring
the real brotherhood of the people and the
true sisterhood of the States.
Ever since this sectional and shameful
legislation passed the House have sought
to cheer our people with the hope that
some of the Republican senators would DO
found patriotic enough. broad and brave
enough, to prefer the well being of the
country 10 party ascendancy. stlll nope
so, and that popular demonstrations at the
North Will uphold their hands and give
them courage to denounce this effort
the dishonest .pretence OF securing an
honest count"
But if this nope is not to be realized and
the force bill becomes a law | shall use
whatever influence and ability may pos
sess to arouse the southern people TO the
necessity Of looking only to their own ex-
haustless resources. We will still welcome
to our section and homes all our country
men of the North who may wish to live
among us, and we will still protect all their
investments and rights of property by i'm
partial laws and honest courts: but we
shall counsel return to the old system Of
the election of representatives, by general
ticket, if need be, or resort to any lawful,
peaceful means in order TO protect the
right of choosing representative and TO
resist the wrong of having them chosen for
us by Federal supervisors.
We will still endeavOr TO keep peace and
promote good will between the races and
sincerely hope that the southern negroes
will not destroy their own prosperity by
cOnsorting with those whose mad policy
threatens the well being of both races.
We shall still hope that after these years
of apparent reconciliation and of restored
confidence we shall not see the whole cur
rent of national sentiment turned back
ward and downward by sectional legisla-
ton which has no possible justification
nor rational excuse. j. Is. GORDON.

July 10, 1890.
This community was visited on yesterday
hv ono Of the most destructive hail-storms
ever known In this part of Virginia. The
stones were Of an irregular shape. ave-
raging about the size of hens eggs. The
hail was accompanied by heavy wind,
which made the destruction of crops more
complete. window-psnes and sash were
broken into fragments. turkeys and barn.
ward fowls killed, and where promising
crops of tobacco stood nothing now re-
mains but part of the stalk. The corn
was not only stripped Of its fodder but the
stalks were beaten into jelly. No destruc-
ton could be more complete.
HrLp-ID THE SUFFERERS.
The sufferers are hopelessly undone un-
less helping hand can be given them.
The farmers IN the neighborhood are too
poor to extend such relief as the urgency
Of the situation demands, and the appeal
js hereby made to the charitable of more
biphly-favored communities. and especially
of Richmond, to give such aid as will pre-
vent suffering.
ANY funds sent TO Relief Committee,
Dabnev's Post-Oflice. Louisa county, Will
be thankfully received and acknowledged.

ACHARITY IN BOSTON.
The Poor People Entertained and Fed for 4
Nickel Each.

The Poor People Entertained and Fed for 4
Nickel Zach.
Arlo Bates Boston COrrespondence.l
A charity which has been very quietly
but most efficiently introduced in Boston. is
the Peoples Entertainment Society. 1t has
one course of entertainments running in the
North End, the poorest part of the city
proper, and one in South Boston, in a
neighborhood dozen times as bad as any
thing the North End can produce. A hall
is found and such talent obtained as will
please the audience and can be afforded.
The tickets are sold for five cents each, the
holder being entitled to a cup of coffee or a
glass of milk.
or course the entertainment is not of the
most exalted order. 1t consists for the most
part in limitations of instruments or animals,
character songs and sketches, and the milder
and inocuous sort Of variety business. Jug
glers are in favor, and the imitation of q
cat on the back fence seems to appeal to the
very depths of the aesthetic in the soul of
the North -Ender. The main thing is
that these poor creatures are kept
amused, in a warm and clean place, for q
couple of hours: and to my thinking the
fact that they pay for entrance is one Of the
most important features of the scheme. OF
course it would be better if it were possible
for the patrons of these courses not to know
that there is any charity connected with
them, but that is hardly practical.

PORTERS OF THE CONGO,

Marveloua Endurance of the Natives and
the Wages They Get.
From an article under the above title in
the February Century by one of Stanley's
former officers the following iI taken:
On the Congo there are no beasts Of bur-
den, there existing merely manual trans
port. the porters being the natives of the
Bakongo tribe, inhabiting the cataract
regions. In physique these men are slight
and only poorly developed; but the fact
OF their carrying on their head from 80 to
100 pounds weight 20 miles day for some
times six consecutive days, their only food
being each day little manioc root, an ear
or two OF maize, or a handful of peanuts,
pronounces them at once as men of singu-
larly sound stamina. Small boys Of 8 and 9
years old are frequently met carrying loads
of 25 pounds weight.
Throughout the cataract region the gen.
eral accepted money currency IL Manchester
cotton cloth made up into pieces Of six yards
each. The European cost of the cloth paid
to these natives for transporting load to
Stanley Pool from Matadi, including
rations, amounts at the present day to S.
for load of 65 pounds. Five years ago the
cost was only one-third of this amount; but
it has increased on account of the opposition
of the various trading houses that have
established stations at Stanley Pool for the
ivory trade on the upper river.

A BRAINT PUG DOG.
His Very Remarkable Behavior During the
sickness of Baby.

His Very Remarkable Behavior During the
sickness of n Baby.
NY dog is pug, writes Mary h. Barford
to the London Spectator. His is q very
choice specimen of his kind, and was given
to me BY the late DR.. Wakley, editor of the
Lancet, who was q great connoisseur in
dogs. He is devotedly attached to nv baby,
and always accompanies me in my morning
visit to the nursery. On one occasion the
child (who is just as fond of him as he is of
her) was very i'll. and for three weeks was
unconscious. As soon as this was the case,
the dog ceased to go near the nursery as if
by instinct he knew he would not be noticed.
Mr.. Walters, from Reading, was attend
ing the baby, and the dog soon got to know
the time he paid his visits. He would watch
him upstairs, and when he came down listen
most artentively to his report. At length
the child was pronounced out of danger.
The very next morning up went Master
"Sam," made his way straight to the
child's cot, and stood on his hind legs to be
caressed.
Although she had taken no notice of any,
one for some time, she seemed to know the
dog, and tried 10 move her hand toward him
to be licked. He quite understood the ac-
tion, licked the little hand lovingly, and
then trotted contentedly away After this
he went up to see her regularly, as he had
been accustomed to do.
