Atlanta LEY. Df. tiO5e, OF " IL
mingten; Rev. DR.. Daniel, of Raj
eigh, and Rev, Dr. Moore, of Hamp-
den Sydney. Some of these ad-
dresses were specially prepared for
instruction III regard to the Pres
byterian church, and every Presiy-
terian must feel greatly benefited
thereby. But not all the instruc-
ton nor the pleasure was absorbed
by the people of this faith, for
there was no poverty of supply in
kind or quantity, and all who heard
We're instructed and entertained. |
1t is generally remarked that DR..
Moore is one of the finest speakers
We have heard; q man of well
rounded intellect, strong, logical,
full of information, which quail
ties are joined with a pleasing ad-
dress which wins at once the good
Twill of the listener. We hope to
have DR.. Moore with us often. DR..
| Howerton Is full of earnest enthu-
siasm, pleasant speaker and a
strong thinker. On Saturday night
J DIR. Alderman addressed the Insti-
, tute on 'Our Colleges and Semina-
| ries.' His address was fine. His
thoughts, in themselves beautiful
. were clothed in beautiful language,
for which DR.. Alderman has pc
4 Eculiar fitness. He made q good
impression ,and the staunch friends
of the University in this section
. were highly pleased.
!. We have said something about
ir negro excursions to Red Springs IL
the columns of the RoBEsoNIA,
: before this, and we propose t.
80 write and grumble just as long a
,f the town authorities and propert,
owners allow negros to pile in her
from every direction on certain oc
- casions and take charge of tn
!, town. It is bad enough when ther
80 are no visitors in Red Springs
,o but when there is big gatherin
of white people here it is littl
bit worse. Thursday, the last da
!. of the Institute, a negro excursio
- came here over the G. F. & Y. '
~ railroad, and consequently we ha
~, mixed crowd. Some one aske
" how We can stop it? The negro'
have right to run excursion
'E- Certainly they have. | think
ng very pertinent question for hot
TO proprietors, and every one in RI
MS }Sw.ngs, to ask themselves is, He
M can we make summer resort f
lie. white people out of Red Sprin
lal when the negroes take compile
MS charge of the grounds, payilio
nd and springs one day in the wee
an and sometimes oftener? Do tn
of want to undertake to go to eth
the of the springs when they can't 6
within fifteen yards of one for L
va gro men of women? / think N
at- If the grounds back of Hotel Tow
He send are private property the ow
md er can exclude and forbid color
,rn- people going on it. But we do L
af- wish to go this far. We belle
the negroes should be allowed to
