APPEARANCES ARE DECEPTIVE
Yesterday there was an incident at the
State Treasurers office bearing on the
exchange of the old bonds for the new,
ETC., which caused not O. little merri-
ment among the officials of the treas
ury department, and shows that a man
is not always to be judged by his looks.
A few days ago the State Treasurer
received from an aged farmer IN the
lower part Of the State 1000 in 6 per
cent. Brown Consols for which he
wanted the money. The matter was in
progress of settlement when, yesterday
morning, the old gentleman, plain
looking countryman, walked into the
treasurers office and introduced him
self, asking If the State could pay up
its bonds.
DR.. Bates told him that it could, and
did not know what to expect next. The
old man quietly walked into the vault
and opening his clothing took from
around his waist kind of bag of cloth
from which he began to draw what
seem to be an endless amount of State
bonds. He quietly proceeded to count
them. This finished with $40, 900 worth
of Brown Consols in his hand, he step
ped,out and went up to the treasurer
asking him to give him thefull value
of them. He did not seem to know in
what shape he wanted the money, and
the treasuroer had to explain to him the
various farms in which he could pay
the amount. Finally the old gentleman
decided that he would invest the money
in Georgia securities, and taking the
check for $60, 900 walked out once more
into the street.
No one meeting him would ever have
taken him for q man carrying that
large amount of money in his pocket
or would have supposed that he ha6
been drawing $4,000 q year for years ya,,

is black-nearly all black The com.
missioner's report, which is before
me, gives more convicts from Full.
ton than any other county and
more from Richmond. Bibb, Chat

Education is on the upgrade in Geor-
gla so far as the white race Is concern
ed. These teachers institutes and
normal colleges have raised the stand
ard and now If the teachers will raise
the standard of morality among the
pupils the State will be fortified against
lawlessness and crime. Education is a
great thing, and it is well that every
child have chance to rise and soar
among the stars though few will ever
reach them, and the edict of the garden
is still in force: BY the sweat of
thy brow shall thou eat bread" But
there is friction between the races and
1t may be that the only solution is their
removal to the public land in the west,
as John Temple Graves is now discuss.
ing. The greatest friction is between
the masses, the common people, the
toilers and the negro. The toilers do
not like them. They never did. The
negro is in their way. They do not
need them as tenants nor us cooks or
nurses. The negro is preferred as a
tenant by the wealthy landlord be-
cause he will do their bidding and live
in o poorer house and is more easily
settled with at the end of the year, and
SO the poorer whites who have to rent
land have to take second place. This
friction is getting more and more
serious in sections where the negroes
are in the majority and some of these
days there will be race war that will
appall the country. If l was negro
teacher or preacher or draynan or a
laborer l would take shelter
under the wings of my white friends and
ask for protection. would quit poll
tics and | would show my dependence
and my gratitude.

A Card About Mr.. Montague.
DASy1LLE, Va, April Is, 1898,

DANYILLE, VA, April ID, 1873.
To ne Editor Of the Dispatch:
The following paragraph appeared in the
DISPATCH of this date from its Washington
correspondent:
"Among the Presidents callers to-day wore
Representatives O'Ferrall and Swanson, who in
troduced 90 the Chief Executive Mr. A. J. Mon
tague, Of Danville, who has the endorsement Of
the delegation for the attorneysbip OF the West
ern District. Mr.. Montague had not before been
presented 70 Mr.. Cleveland. lie was an enthusi-
astic Cleveland man last year when delegates
were elected, and In the face Of tho fact that
most OF the Democrats in the Fifth District were
enti-Cleyeiand."
This is certainly news in Danville to
those who were thickest in the fight for
Mr.. Cleveland last spring.
Information also reached this city to-
day from the very highest source that it IS
being claimed IN Washington that Mr.
Montague was an Original Cleveland
man" and led Cleveland's forces in DAN
vile during the CANVASS for the presi-
dental nomination. Some OF the Cleve-
land workers of this city are especially
outraged at this report. as nothing could
be further from the truth, and they are
curious TO know from what source such
statements could have emanated.
Judge Bergman Green issued the call
for and organized the Cleveland Club of
Danville and vicinity in March, 1892.
Though solicited Mr.. Montague would
never join this club. founded on the lines
of all other such clubs in this and other
States, being designed 10 include all
Democrats in sympathy with Mr.. Cleve-
lands individual views and purposes, even
II they were doubtful OF his availability.
which was to be determined By sagaclous
men when they got to Chicago. The dele
gates TO be sent from Danville were to be
man 0f GlavaIapd rrataranaoa hat xn,.
structed. Such were the clubs published
manifeetoes.
The gentleman who enrolled nearly all
the members OF this club and who has the
roll, ss well as many others, can testify
that MIR. Montague stated repeatedly
during the contest that he was not q
Cleveland man. aud the unprecedented
struggle in this city to send delegates 70
Richmond favorable TO MIR: Cleveland and
what he stood for received from Mr.. Mon-
tague not the slightest aid or comfort.
In fact. he was invited and expected to
| speak at tho famous opposition meeting.
which came 30 near becoming scene OF
violence.
The leadership Of Judge Berryman
| Green at the cost of personal friendships
| is so notorious that our whole population,
including anti Cleveland leaders, will tes-
tify to IL as an act Of Justice TO him.
The undersigned have no idea that Mr..
Montague himself Is responsible for suc b
reports or that he will accept or profit by

which Judge Green also 10 being urged by

MODEST LITTLE BAPTIST CHURCH
Rapid Progress of Bethel" from Its
Inception to Completion.

correspondence OF the Richmond DisDatch.l
CoMoRs. VA, April 15.-In the lower end
of Stafford county there stands modest
little Baptist church, which was completed
ABOUT two years ago. The miles of open
fields around were made historic during
the war between the States. These were the
famous white Oak" camp-grounds,
where not bush, nor tree. nor stick was
LETT, either for fuel or fencing material, and
where not IA panel of fence remained IN
radius of FIVE miles or more. This modest
little church is known as Bethel" and
its rapid progress from the inception OF Its
organization a short time ago has been
wonderful, for the whole community
has always been without church OF
any determination. except an old
lron-Side" or Hard-Shell" church,
and the people are therefore not dis
clpliued in church work. But one feature
in the history of the church, perhaps, ac-
counts for the financial part OF the WON
derful progress and success, and that IL
that party of wealthy and prominent
northern gentlemen make an annual visit
there and hold several days services.
MEMORY OF THE cAMP-dRoUSDs.
Some Of these distinguished visitors are
ex-Unlon soldiers, while some are the sons
of ex-Union soldiers. and the lively lnte-
rest which they manifest in the people
>
has grown out Of an abiding memory OF
the old White Oak " camp-grounds and
varied war experiences among the people
there nearly thirty years ago. As If TO
make amends for the fearful havoc played
upon that section of southern soil by the
enemy" in war-days, these annual visitors
have not only opened their hearts but
have contributed largely of their means
for the advancement of the church which
now stands at fork of the road where
brightly burned Yankee" camp-fres
thirty years ago.
On Friday. Saturday. and Sunday. a
week ago, "Bethel" presented scene
long to be remembered in social and
church circles in Stafford county.
ATTRACTIVE SERVICES
II was the occasion Of visit by Judge
j. b. Vreeland, DIR. j. II. Hoffman. and
Messrs IL. b. Hoffman and j. u. Lindsay,
of Morristowp, N. j. These gentlemen
are laymen, but they conducted exceed
Ingly interesting and attractive services
all three days, and drew vast multitude
of Staffordians and King Georgians to the
little chapel In addition to cash contri-
buttons at sundry times, these portherneri
have presented the church with hand
some organ aud other church furniture.
