ner, with emphasis on every sen.
tence, Genl. Clarkson said that the
negro in the South surprised him.
He had heard so much about him
and his condition, that he decided
to find out for himself, so he and
his SOD, while at Ashlin, N. c., met
several colOred men in the street
and asked whether they could
read, and much to their surprise
they were soon convinced that
what had been said about the ne
gro in the South was false.
While his wife was away. SAID
Mr.. Clarkson, he purchased quite a
number of novels and before her
return he was anxious to get rid of
them. So he asked his colored SER
want, "a wOman,) if she could read:
and being informed that she could.
he asked her how she had learned
to read. She informed him by read
ing the Bible. Don't you want some
novels, said he. No sir, never read
novels, l learned how to read by
reading the Bible and that is the
only book I read. This was Mr..
Clarkson's experience In the South.
He found out that a great number
of colored people had learned how
to read by reading the bible. 1t is
shame, said Genl. CIarkson, that
the colOred race should be so mis-
represented. l was told, said Mr..
ClarksOn, by those who heldt he ne.
groes in subsection, that they have
always proven true to their trust.
They never have the least idea of
doing an injury to those who have
wronged them. In slavery they were
true to their masters and they new.
er betrayed their trust on the field
OF battle. 1t is a grateful race to
be so badly treated, concluded Mr..
ClarksOn. Mr.. Bruce said to Genl.
Clarkson that he was pleased to
know that he had visited the South
and seen for himself.

EX. UNITED STATES MINIS
TER THOMPSON ROBBED.
A CRIMINAL SUIT TO BE BROUGHT
AGAINST A PROMINENT REALES-
TATE BROKER

ter Thompson was in Hsyti, he
sent money to this countsy to one
OF his associates who was in the
realestate business IN this city, to
invest for him; but instead
of investing this money as
directed, he put it in bis pocket
for his personal use. 1t is further
stated that Ex, Minister Thompson
sent at one time two thousand
dollars to invest in some land near
the Geological park; the land was
purchased for less than IL or Is
cents per foot and Mr.. Thompson
was charged % cents per foot.
The ground was bought with his
own money and he was charged
90 cents per foot. This reaIeslate
broker, who is a negro, was sent
for by Col. Worthington, in whose
hands Ex Minister Thompson
has placed his case, and when he
was asked what kind of q settle
ment he wished to make, the
broker with crossed legs and a
lighted cigar in his mou'h, cody
informed Col. Worthington that
it was true that he had spent Mr..
Thompson's money, but he could
not replace it. 1t was ascertained
that the negro broker has what
property that is worth anything
in bis wife's name, while the other
is heavily mortgaged. 1t is stated
on good authority that Col. Worth
ington will bring a crimnal suit
against this alleged swindler and
embezzler. There will be rich
reading in a few days.

The mistake of some ministers Is
the attack they make on members
OF the congregation. When a man
who calls himself a preacher, gets
up in the pulpit to preach, he should
confine himself to the next and not
the personal character of a member.
1t is a mistake in preachers to indi-
rectly attack a member against
whom he may have personal ami.
mostly.
~
1t is to be regretted that one of
our lady teachers should become a
victim to mistaken confidence.
Some few weeks ago lady teacher
was persuaded to give security for
a notorious thief, for which she re.
ceived S25. The man is name Jack
Terrell. He has since been indict.
ed by the grand jury and hence he
has left the city. The lady's prop
erty is to suffer the consequences by
a judgement of FIVE hundred dol-
dollars being fled against it. This
Is not the first case of speculation
that this female has buen in to her
detriment. This case should be
investigated by the school board
and if found to be true, which it is,
she should be removed from the
schools. The BEE has the informa
tion and any evidence that ia need.
ed can be obtained.
