THE NEGRO IN THE SOUTH.
Ex-Governor Bullock Disabusss Northern
Minds Of Wrong Impressions.

ROCHESTER,, ". Y, Oct. 2o.-Ex-"o'-
ernor Rufus Il. Bullock. OF Georgia. "no
is a native of Albion, IS visiting TINS CITY
Colonel Bullock has been attending the
Protestant Episcopal Church convention
In Minneapolis
Colonel Bullock went South before the
war. and became a colonel i'll the Con-
federate army.
In speaking of the Atlanta Exposition,
Colonel Bullock says:
''The Exposition shows what we ot
the South have got, what we can CO.
and what we want 10 have done. Inc
fact that the coiored mani has been
given a place at the Exposition should
be especially emphasized. as this is the
first time SUCH thing has occurred.
In regard to the negro problem III the
South, he said. 81,
I'm my opinion, We nave passed an
those problems In Georgia. At one tine
the seemed to be a fear that the col
ored man would gain the supremacy IN
governmental affairs, but everybody
knows now that the agitation was start
ed from purely political motives a
colored man I'm the South to-day is prac-
tically on an equal footing with white
man statements to the contrary not
vithstauding. His condition there is
entirely different from what it Is In the
North. He may work at the same
bench with the white carpenter. or on
the same wall with the bricklayer.
I'm the North, as | understand II, the
only avenues open to him for support are
as a waiter or a barber
THE emigration schemes, which have
been started as the results OF wild
dreamse OF religious enthusiasts have
mostly failed. We have very Few
strikes. and this. | believe. is the direct
result OF the fact that we have settled
the negro problem in Georgia. We need
the colored man in the South. and every
thinking white man is making strenuous
efforts 10 have him stay"
Referring to acts of mob violence. Col
onel Bullock says the law Is the same
for white man as for negro-name-
~. that the crime ia punishable by death
But the horrible mutilation TO Wnlch
these criminals have been subjected Is, IN
his mind the work Of a few lawless men.
Intermarriage between the two races,
Colonel Bullock. says, is almost unknown
IN the South.

rnE NEW rREIGHr ASSOCIATION
President spencer of the Southern Speaks
of the Good Results.

NEW YORK Oct 25.-President Samuel
Spencer, Of the Southern railway, said
to-day
THE successful formation Of the South
ern States Freight Association and the
putting Of the agreement into practical
operation, have had a steadying effect on
rates and created confidence which has
not existed in the South for two or three
years.
Il now understand that the Florida
Central and Pcuinsular railroad will at
once become a member OF the association.
IL mas not been a member FOR some years.
This will bring into the association the
Florida lines OF the Plant system. which
have heretofore been outside Of IL on ac-
count OF the non-membership Of the FlOri-
da Central and Peninsular. All this ma
terially strengthens the association and
Increases confidence. II rates are well
maintained. as Is now exepcted, the small
cotton crop as compared with last year
Will not iniuriOusiy affect the earnings Of
southern railways This is particularly
true of the lines east of the Mississippi.
The large grain crops Of the South and
good price for cotton will give the farm
er more money than last year. This
Will be the means of Increasing the mis-
cellaneous traffic a revival of manu-
featuring industries promises also TO far
more than compensate for any possible
shortage In cotton. This shortage has
apparently been much exaggerated. All
in all, the outlook for the autumn and
winter FOR the railroads Is encouraging.
