THE SOUTH AND THE NEGRO.

A communication to the New York
SIN the other day told the following
pretty and pathetic story:
ITO the Editor of the .Sun-Sir: /
WAS an eyewitness, the other day, of
pretty incident which occurred on the
horse car which plies between the sta
ton at Barlow on-the Sound and City
Island The car, small and inadequate
after the fashion of cars generally, was
crowded to its utmost capacity, when
poorly dressed colored woman, carry
ing heavy infant, made an inet1ect-
ual effort to secure a ioothOld on the
rear platform.
son the inside sat gentleman. lie
noticed the look Of disappointment
which swept over the wrinkled black
face as the baby burdened negress
said: Il guess I'll halter wait for
mex car
Waiting for next ear meant the
loss of an hour to her. The gentle
man arose and calling her back relin-
pushed his own seat with a kindly
smile.
For which he was rewarded by
most earnest look of thanks and Il
does sholy thank you, sir
Il was interested enough in the
incident to question the gentleman,
and was not little surprised to find
that he was a Southern man, and an
old slave owner
The kindly impulse to assist this
black woman was in him a matter of
course, and but of piece with the
ife-long friendliness existing between
the two races, of which we in the
North know nothing practically and
are skeptical of in theory.
"OBsERvER.
New York, Sept. 80
The last sentence of this commune
cation exactly expresses in as terse
and emphatic language as it is posi-
Die to put it, the unbelief, SO long
prevalent at the North, in the South's
kindly sympathy for the negro. "The
life long friendliness. existing between
the two races, of which we in the North
know nothing practically and are
skeptical in theory" That is it. Not
having witnessed the thousands of Incl
dents like the one above related, which
are of daily occurrence down South,
Northern people have long been "skep-
teal :: theory" of the "triendliness"
of the South for the negro. Those
who come South are soon converted,
but there are still many Northern
skeptics. Papers of the stamp of the
Washington Pest, however, known to
be independent, honest and out-spo-
ken, are doing a good work in dis
polling this unbelief by stating the
real facts. The Post says:
meanwhile, the incident narrated
by the Suns correspondent tells its
own story and conveys its own moral.
1t illustrates the proposition so often
and so confidently advanced by the
Post: That the best friends the negro
has-the truest, most sympathetic, and
most helpful friends-are to be found
in the old slave-holding class of the
South or their descendants
The fact that the Atlanta Exposition
is unique by reason of its having a ne
gro department, showing the progress
of the race in the South since the war,
ought to count for something in doing
away with whatever there is of North
ern skepticism on this matter. Then,
too, what about the speech of the
negro, Booker T. Washington, made
on the opening day of the exposition
from the same platform occupied by
some of the most eminent Georgians?

EVIDENCEOF PROSPERITY.

One of the most significant indica-
tons of the business revival is found in
4 recent interview with Mr.. A. G..
Delaney, Superintendent of the Rich
mond Locomotive and Machine
WOrks-an establishment that con-
structs locomotives for the Big Four.
Seaboard Air Line and Southern Rail
way Companies.
"During the past two years." said
he, the business of this company has
been steadily falling Off The de-
crease in orders began early in 1898
and continued uninteruptedly until
March, 1895. At that time our works
had almost suspended and shut down
on account of the business depression
and the consequently few orders on
hand. Early in April, however, came
sudden and startling change. Or
ders began pouring in upon us during
all the spring and summer months, and
to-day the capacity of the company is
taxed to its utmost to fill the contracts
which it has made. In April moth
ing was done. To-day a thousand
men are at work in the shops. The
reason for this | am not prepared to
give. l only know the facts
The reason is easily discoverable. l,
means that until the credit of the
country had been made secure capital
and all the forms of industrial activity
were paralyzed, but that as soon as re,
lief came through the wise and heroic
financial measures of the Democratic
Administration confidence returned
in all trade circles; railway enterprise:
were given new life, and demand
for means of transportation was imme
diately increased in enormous proper
tion.-Goldshoro Headlight.

THE Washington Pest is mean
enough to refer to our Mr.. Ransom
as sour Minister to Blowing Rock,
n. c." What have you "foreigners'
got to do with our men, anyway!
Hasn't Ransom gone back to brave the
climate Of Mexico when Walter Henry
wouldn't go to Curacoa? It's true the
Chanches of death in Mexico are about
two in ten, and in Curacao nine and
six-hfths in ten; and it's true Walter
would have gotten only $1,000 per
year and Ransom gets s17,5oo; but
away with little differences like this,
and let our men alone!-Durham

Who knows but what the age Of eels is

Her bloomers were not large and baggy,

The bloomer clad young woman was an

"When I arrived In this country, was

TAKE A VACATION.
What Once Was Luxury Has become .
Pressing Necessity.

What once was considered AN Observance
OF the bohests Of fashion and the pride Of
wealth has become nm absolute necossity
for rich and poor alike. Fifty years ago
such thing as n vacation for business or
professiCNal mon was almost unheard Of
outside N the larger cities, but now there
arc fcw country merchants or lawyers who
do not expect To take an outing In the sum
mer Tho reason for this IL that every year
llfo Is growing more and more intense and
labor more and moro exacting The de-
mand on the human body has been changed
from the muscles 90 the nerves The
American business or professional man
who Is not ovorworkcd IL the rare excep-
tion.
Mr.. Dcpew In speaking Of the death OF
Secretary Gresham, said:
~ have learned from observation that
three things surely happen to man who
works steadily without relaxation. In tho
first place, he becomes nervous, irritable
and hard TO get along with. In the second
place, the grade of his work falls off. and
he Is liable to err In his judgment. IN the
third place, he dies suddenly. 1t Is an In
controvertible law OF nature"
Ii Is not too much to say that these
conditions have all been verified In the
cases Of hundreds Of public men within the
last few years, and three of them have been
members Of the presidents cabinet-Man-
ming, Window and Gresham.
The wreck OF human life by overwork Is
becoming national calamity As there Is
little probability that the demands on men
will grow loss the only thing to be done Is
to throw them of for IA season each year
that relaxation may enable tho nervous
system to lay In n fresh supply OF energy.
Men used to retire from active business at
90 or 30 on competency OF few thou
sand dollars. Now the accumulation Of
wealth makes II man more restless and un-
tiring ut 80 than he was Mt 30. The exac-
tions Of labor must be counteracted in
some way, and the vacation season has be-
come the safety valve for overworked peo-
pie.
Change Of environment and scene Is the
first essential to recuperation, and absolute
rest from care and business is equally nee
essary. Upon these two laws hang the
conditions Of recuperative vacation.-
