The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1899-08-22

General Palmer and 4 600 troops, and
knowing Of the murders, rapes and
robberies committed On the highWay 9
in the country, and the loss Of the rem.
nant of a large fortune in trying to re
claim his lands, make q crop and cut
ting lumber with said demoralizsd
labor, saw aud was the first man TO
conclude and publish his vie ws predict
ing the two races would never live to
gether as they had done prior to and
during the war In peace, safety and
proftably, but would drift farther and
farther from each other. Ny predic-
tions have come true to the letter, and
will never be otherwise for the follow
ing reasons: The Anglo Saxon race
has proven itself in some respects SUI
perior to all colored races; and God
seemed to have ordained their separ-
ate and distinct calling and fields OF
operation, especially rs to the white
and African races, as the mixing OF
the blood Of the two races produces an
enfeebled, delicate and short lived off
spring, and not adapted to the very
cold or tropical climates as its respec-
tive ancestors are; conse quently, the
commingling Of the blood Of the two
races was forbidden by the Creator.
The history Of the world does not give
g case where two races so dissimilar
ever lived together in peace without
compulsion or slavery, Dr. social equal
ity and amalgamation. One must pre-
dominate and the other migrate, or
determination is inevitable, and God
dot not favor either amalgamation or
determination, as these two races seem
to have their especial work of evangel-
izing their own respective races in
other countries. Hence the missionary
movement.
For wise purposes God has overruled
the covetousness of the superior to en-
slave the inferior race for a time only,
that the latter might learn civilization
and Christianity and go back to q
tighten and Chrissianizs their two hun.
dred million brethren on the Dark Con-
tinent; they being better adapted to
that great missionary work than any
other people. The wrath OF man shall
praise him, and the remainder will be
disfranchised." Besides, man is his
brothers keeper, and the duty Of every
man is to keep another. The kind feeling
that existed between the former slave,
holders Of the South and their old
slaves was detroyed by the sudden
emancipation, Acknowledgement and
bad advice given the negroes
by incompetent aud wicked teach
ers of both races after the val
closed. Seeing this, I advocated the
gradual transportation of the negroes
to Liberia, at government expense, in
a pamphlet, and sent copies to the
President and each member Of both
houses OF Congress % years ago. And
now, If philanUhropic individuals and
churches wish to help to elevate the
negroes, let them do g. by sending the
best teachers and workers to be had
and orphans with them to Liberia to
establish manual laboring homes and
schools, and money to support them
and the native children while being
prepared for future usefulness. Had
this course been adopted and faithfully
executed thousands of murders, rapes
and other outrages would have been
prevented; hundreds of millions of dol
lars worth OF property saved from the
hands OF the burglar and torch Of the
incendiary, and other hundreds of
millions saved that have been spent in
restraining and furnishing offenders, as
the South had only a few empty jails
and penitentiaries, which have been
greatly increased in numbers and sIl
filed to overlooking for a third Of a
century, aud our State courts, officials
and their expenses increased a thou
sand per cent. Besides all this and
more-the former friendship that ex-
listed between the two races, and 80
proven by the peacefulness, content
ment and faithfulness of the slaves
during a most destructive and merci-
less war Of four years duration, has
been gradually giving away to discord
and hatred as is now proven by the
race riots in every Southern State, and
when all the former Rlaves and their
former owners are all dead, which will
be very soon, the new issue az both
races will have dritted so far from
each other as to make peaceful living
impossible. IncompatabiIity will then
be written upon all our institutions,
occupations, politics and social GUS
toms. Already these questions are in
