After good nights rest at our rela:
tive, Allen Williams. We wended our way
to the Barker's Greek school, where Miss
Lena Campbell is inicharge. This is a
small school, and does not appear to US
to have progressed any beyond what it
was when We last visited it, and this is
not chargeable to either the present or
former teacher, but is due to the fact that
the school does not run any beyond the
public term, and the work has TO be done
over each, succeeding term. There is no
blackboard here, but the teacher told us
that 7the people propose to enlarge the
hopseiand add some conyeniences to it.
In moral and religious community,
such as this is, and underneath the
shadow of neat Church building, an
advance forward in the shape of good
school house is needed, and then put
good teacher in it aud keep her at it con-
stantly.

Couldn't Stand 1t.

An in6del young lawyer, going west to
settle fot life, made it his boast that he
"would locate in some place where there
were no Churches, no Sunday schools, or
Bibles" So he found place of this
sort. Before the year was out, he wrote
for preacher to come and bring plenty
of Bibles, to begin preaching, and start
Sunday schools, for he said II am con-
vinced that a neighborhood without Bi.
bles, Sunday schools and preaching is too
much like hell for any living man to
stay in." The invisible and silent infu-
ences of Churches to suppress disturbing
immoralities are not appreciated, until
one goes to those PLACES where there are
none. The moon, high up in the heav-
ems, exerts silent influence on the sea
lifting the tides to roll out and refresh
the low lands. So the silent influence of
Bibles, churches and Sunday schools lifts
men to higher plain of moral living.
Christianity gives value to material
things. A tract OF land located in a re-
gion of churches, where the people are
civil, kind and peaceable, is worth twice
as much as one located among still
houses and open grog shops where bad
men live. Business men now owning
property on the outskirts of city, find
that it pays financially to build church
there. Because they know Church will
convert the people-reform the reigh-
borhood-build up good society-and
then men will buy lots to build upon.
"Godliness is profitable unto all
things" Who would settle all his fam
lily among wild Indians, though the eli.
mate be ever so healthy though the land
be ever SO rich and the scenery ever SO
beautiful. Men advertise piece of land
for sale, aud to induce others to buy, ,.call
attention to the fac. that said property.is is
located in region where good neighbors
liye-where churches and schools are con.
veuient. Yes, Christianity enhances the
worth of material things.

The Maddox school is g new location
where the people have recently built a
good, substantial house. and what is sel.
dom the case, but very much to their
credit, have actually completed the
house inside and out. Here ne found
Miss Anna Grubbs With over forty pu-
pills, and we spent two very enjoyable
hours with them. These pupils were
quick and ready in responses, and
showed familiarity with the subjects
in hand. We had never met the teacher
before, but were much impressed with
the evident energy and earnestneas that
has been displayed in the management
OF her school, and the hold which she
seems to have apon bers pupils. Our
good friend, Maddox, who accompanied
us to the school, seems to be greatly inter.
ested in its success, aud says they intend
to make the house larger.

At Flint Hill we found Miss Alma
Elgin on deck, with about forty pupils,
but in a very unauitable building, of
which fact, however, the patrons them
selves are fully aware, and propose to
remedy the matter during the coming
summer by putting ,up q comfortable
house. There are some bright pupils
here, and they appear to be making some
progress but, of course, not as much as
.they-wonld do if the teacher had better
facilities for doing her work.

fact is patent here as at all other places
where the school runs only during the
public term. In the very nature Of
things but little, il any, progress can be
made, and the same ground has to be
gone over each succeeding term, no mat

Miss Lizzie is competent, and is doing
her best, and would succeed if the
patrons would keep her at it.

drive the negro from his friends OF bis
friends from the negro. never saw q
good negro who did not have as many
friends as he wanted. They can always
get good work at good wages and are
always protected aud defended against
oppression. Haynes Miners house was
burned, and the white folks helped him
to rebuild it. Their children get their
schooling for nothing, and not dollar Of
it comes from the Slater fund, or any
other fund, but ours. Our doctors visit
their sick and hardly ever collecttheir
bills. Mrs. Sicily Minis got sick and my
wife sent her her meals every day. In
fact, they do not have the. cares and fears
of the poor white people. in this coun.
try. They have an abiding faith in the
abundance of food and clothing that is
all around them, and if they can't get
their share one3.way they can another.
This fair picture of the negro as he is
in North Georgia, where there are neith-
or too many nor too few-where the rela.
tions between.the races are friendly and
kind, and always will be if the bowling
hypocrites of the north will let us alone.
If they do not, and there should be var
of the races, the north will be held re-
sponsible for it before God and man. The
conservative people Of the north need
not tell US that they do not approve Of
the utterances of ingalls,, or Chandler, or
Sherman, or Phelps, or Cook upon the
negro question. tits the duty of all good
citizens to join issue with such men and
denounce them for their lies and ISLANDERS.
II Wanamaker don't care to appoint
negro postmaster in Providence, why
should he in Athens or Americus7 He
asked MIR. Carlton, IN a sneering way, if
it would be safe for him to go to Athens
and investigate, and Carlton replied that
better men than him had been there and
we're not molested, but the way our people
feel about the indignities and insults, and
the revenges that Wanamaker and the
President have heaped upon them, they
had both better stay al home. We want
none of their sort to visit our section.
What pitiful spectacle it is. The
President of great nation has made
himself so odious to third of his empire
that he wouldn't dare to make tour
among his southern subjects. We see
that the Chautauqua, at Albany, has
stopped so low as to invite him there.
Athens wouldn't do it-nor Americas. I
don't know what kind of people they
have in Albany, but in our part of the
country we have not yet got so humble as
to-
Lick the hand that's raised to strike the
blow"
nor have we attained to that exalted
Christian charity, which says "if man
smites thee on one cheek, turn the other
to him also." We are just human, and
Mr.. Harrison and Mr.. Wansmaker will
yet find out that they have the scorn end
disgust of the southern people. If their
success in securing thia will help to per.
petuate their power, let it be so. A
boycott in trade is but little thing, but
G boycott that smothers the respect Of
fifteen millions of white people is q big
thing, and will live in history.
