BACK FROM LIBERIA.
A Southern Negro Describes Conditf ons
There as Horrible.

NEW York, Sept. Sc. B. Parks, a mu-
latto belonging in Atlanta, Ga, with his
family of seven children arrived today.
He is an intelligent man, carpenter by
trade, and tells an interesting story Of the
condition of affairs in Liberia, Africa. On
May % he was lured by the promises of
the society for the promotion of colonial
ton in Liberia to go to that country, he
sailed to that place, and on landing at
Moravia, he found the country In n most
debauched condition. American negroes
who had already emigrated there had
assumed most tyrannical rnle over the
natives. No part of the ground was under
cultivation. Parks has been a slave in the
South. but he says the condition of slavery
in Liberia is worse than in the South be-
fore the war. Parks, because he would not
deal in human flesh, was ostracized by
negroes from America. After spending
twenty-one days he concluded to return.

TO RUILD THE HOME.

All over the state there is being made
an earnest effort to aid the building OF
the confederate home, which, as the
INTELLIGENCER readers know, has been
located in Lafayette county.
The writer being an ex-contederate
soldier, having for the veterans OF the
lost cause the most cordial feeling and
for the one who needs a home the pro-
foundest sympathy, desires to unite
with others in the good work OF
building up this sanctuary for homeless
men. To this end this proposition Is
made: The subscription price OF the
INTELLIGENCER is $3.50 per year.
During the next 60 days out of every
new subscription for one year paid into
this office the manager will pay 30
cents to the fund for the benefit of this
confederate home.
If upon this proposition but fifty
subscriptions are made then S25 will
be given to the home. But if the
friends of the enterprise will secure one
hundred subscribers, $50 will go to
the home. Make it a thousand, and
the home will be $4,000 better off.
Now good people, if you want to aid in
a good cause, go in. 1t will cost you
nothing for you get the INTELLIGENCER
for one year at our reduced rates, and
the 1NTELLIGENCER gives one-third of
the subscription price to the home.

TO so adjust the tax burthen that each
taxpayer shall bear his share proper
Tomato with his ability to pay, is one of
