At the National Capital.
of Atlanta Journal

Correspondent of Atlanta Journal:
The world is better Off affected at
abby the death of Fred Douglass, the
noted negro. While in many respects q
remarkable man; possessed of splendid
brain and executive capacity he did not
aid the people of his race. This, too.
despite the fact that he was always put for
ward as their champion. He had an ap>
titude for feathering his own nest and
keeping himself we'll advertised, un-
are much whittier. Under several repub-
that Douglass was born slave, and pos.
sessed capacity of the sentiment OF the
thing, resulted in inducing the negroes to
vote the republican ticket-he was pro.
vided with the fat Office of recorder oi
deeds of the District Of Columbia several
times. He will probably remain most
notorious in history through bis marriage
with a white woman, an aged New En-
gland spinster who was employed in the
district Office. He was an advocate OF
the revolving policy of racial marriages "a
the best means of settling the trace
question" -contending, that as long az
there were two races, trouble was sure
to ensue. This lost him tho respect oi
many white men who had admired him
for his intelligence, and entirely weaned
him from the affections of his own peo-
pie. Here, in Washington, the more
intelligent negroes long ago lost respect
for him. He accumulated something of
q fortune, and during the latter days
was often seen driving on the most con
spicuous bOulevards, with his white wife
and white coachman in handsome turns
out. Douglass was demagogue and Q
danger to the body polite. His death
should cause no tears from white or black
anywhere in the world.

az America practically celebrated
the l62d anniversary OF George Washing.
toms birthday today the 22d Of February
A curious deliver in the early history OF
the nation, Mr.. Isaac Myer, in the Ameri.
can Historical Register, has discovered
that the celebration should properly be
held upon February IL. He cites as
convincing proof the entry in the old
Washington family Bible which records
the birth upon ''ye l1th day of Febru-
ary, l731-32." The act of Parliament, A.
d. 1851, known as Lord Chesterield's
Act, enacted that September 3, 1852
should be considered September IA, thus
adding IL days to the calendar. But al
though our February IL, there can be no
doubt that Washington and bis family
observed the actual date of the 11th to
the end. The earliest public celebration
of Washington's birthday was, indeed, held
upon February IL, the l1th having come
on Sunday in 1881. There was on that
occasion parade of the French troops
at Newport. the firing of salute and .
general holiday. When and why was
the date of celebration changed ?-Rdleigh

Cotton and Corn.

The sure road to prosperity for 1896
'96 is less cotton more corn.
IF the south will raise 600, 1000, ,00O
bushels of corn, against the 500, ,000, 900
bushels raised last year, and not over
about 100000 bales of cotton, against
the 8, 800, 900 bales raised this season, it
will solve the problem of universal pros
perity for this entire section
In this issue of the Manufacturers
Record Mr.. Atwood Violet, of New
Orleans, whose house has for so many
years been identified with the cotton
trade, points out the absolute necessity
of great decrease in cotton acreage and
production in 1895. The Manufacturers
Record has already persistently urged
upon the south the Importance of raising
great corn crop this year. Put the two
things together-reduce cotton acreage
and increase corn acreage-and the south
will vastly add to its prosperity. 1t
behooves every business man in the
south, every merchant, every banker,
every newspaper, to exert the utmost in
fuence to urge upon farmers the abso-
lutte necessity Of ''less cotton: more corn"
Let this be the south's rallying cry oi
