Contractors for the new naval vessels
are bringing considerable pressure TO pear

vide for partial payments on the Vesseis
as they reach various stages OF conipIe-

Senator Thomas j. Jarvis spoke the
words of truth and soberness when he
said in his address on Thursday, before
the Augusta Industrial Congress:
1.-THE negroes are not responsible for
being here; but they are here to stay
. The negro would not go away
II he could, and he could not If he
would.
"He must be recognized as a fixture
in the South, and the wisest plan to pursue
is 10 educate him and make the best
possible citizen out Of him
Their preachers must be instructed and
aided by the white preachers and where
one is unworthy he must be exposed and
displaced, as the teacher and the preacher
exercise tremendous influence among them,
and when vicious do q vast deal of harm.
Better homes, better schools and churches,
better teachers and preachers, and bet
ter laws would make the negro an intehi-
gent and law-abiding citizen. and then
capital and labor would not hesitate TO
come among them"
We endorse every word Of Mr.. Jarvis
statesmanlike statement Of the course 10
be adopted towards our negroes.
We have never been OF those who
think the negro is a white man only with
a dark skin. We believe there are deep
and ineffaceabie racial differences between
the negro and the Ango-Saxon, which
affect not only the physical, but the
very intellectual and moral natures of
the two races. 1t is needless now 10
enlarge on these. The observant and inteln-
gent white man of the South knows il.
and no statement or argument could
convince those who have never been close
ly associated with negroes in large num-
bers. and who are fully persuaded that
the only distinctions between the races
are physical. and that all else is only
matter Of time and education.
While we do not believe that ages of
education will raise the average Of negro
intellect TO level with the average white
mans intellect. yet the progress in civiii-
zation made by the negro since he was set
free is unquestionably encouraging.
1t is folly to think, as we have heard,
that negro is not improved by educa-
ton, both moral and scholastic. Some
negroes may be spoiled by schooling;
little knowledge is dangerous thing. to
blacks as well as TO whites, but there
are few men who would not rather en-
ploy a negro who could read and write
and who at least knew the Ten Command
ments. than one who was as ignorant of
letters and laws as his savage ancestors in
Africa.
We have long believed that 1t was not
only the duty. but the interest OF the
southern whites to elevate most diligently
the minds and morals of the negroes.
Their old masters of the best type GER
tainly tried to do so when the negro was a
slave.
That the South has done nobly by the
negro is attested by the millions Of State
money spent on their education in public
schools, and by the faithful work done in
all Christian denominations to instruct
them in their moral and religious duties.

That RostOn Duel.

Good Lord They've fought a duel
In Boston-Boston town.
The pride OF Massachusetts;
The glory and the crown
OF Puritanic prudence;
The transcendentai site
OF beans and brains and blue blood
And intellectual light
They fought in a dismal
Locality: and blood
Ran down their legs In rivers
And mingled with the mud,
Where Puritans and PATROLS,
In times. forgotten now,
With Satan and the British
Were wont to raise row.
They stood up there like southrons,
Whom they are pleased TO say
Are little less than savage,
And jabbed and jabOed away
With swords: the two attempting,
With all their hearts and souls,
To do their best at sticking
Each other full Of holes.
Oh. immanent and cosmic.
Oh. philosophic thought.
oh, fundamental concept,
What have your teachings wrought,
Why is the This OF Thusness?

Is this the way you cognate
The Atness Of your Where?
Come off your perch. o Boston!

Go cheese your high ideals,
What are you giving us?
Go soak your boosted culture
In sloppy pipes TO Pan.
And from your saint take pattern

Ex-Speaker Reed. Of Maine. gave out
an interview I'm London Thursday on the
silver question. In this Mr.. Reed Is cred
tied with saying: 1--WE have got to con-
slider silver and the tariff, not as two is
sues, but as one;" and this can be done
best by agreement with other nations
favorable to silver, and by such a scale
OF high tariffs against those nations
which reject monetary agreement as will
insure us a favorable balance Of trade"
Commenting on this declaration the
Philadelphia Record very naturally thinks
tina; Reed is attempting to stand stimuli
taneously for McKinleyism for the east
ern markets and fat money for those Of
the West.

The Progressive South is one OF the
newer ventures in journalism: but, not
withstanding its youth. IL has labored
faithfully in the interest OF southern
development. 1t has been conducted upon
progressive lines, and has taken position
from the start as one Of the ablest, in
dustriaI journals published. 1t is worthy
OF a generous support and We hope to
see It's influence for good enlarged.
Merit should be recognized and rewarded
and the South has few journals devoted
TO immigration. agriculture and business
that are more meritorious.

part he has done i'm causing half holi-

his plan has not been carried out, and
that is the mid-week payment Of hire
and Of wages to workers OF all classes.
The Saturday payment OF WAGES has
proven a great curse TO many good
men. and doubly so to many wives,
mothers, and children. 1t is too clear TO
require argument, that many laborers
when paid on Saturday, go direct TO the
bar-rooms, get drunk. and go home late
Saturday night 10 their families, with
only a small part of their weeks wages
left And worse than that; often goes
home drunk of stupid with liquor The
poor wife has 10 provide food for her-
self and the little ones. and he who should
do IT, is unfit by reason Of his visit TO
the liquor saloon.
Another evil follows, and that IS that
Sunday often finds the hard-worked

family.
Change the payday from Saturday to
Wednesday or Thursday evenings. and 1t
will prove a blessing 10 many families
and save the hard-worked laborer from
excess Then Monday will soon be as
