REMEDY FOX RACE TROUBLES.
An Idea Mentioned by Judge Gr1ggs I'D
Jest Meets with Endorsement.

An Idea Mentioned by Judge Hriggs IN
Jest Meets with Endorsements.
From the Triton Gazette.
CONGRESSMAN Jas. NJ. Griggs, while In
Triton a few DAYS since, in hal! jest an
nounced his intention or presenting
bill to the next congress calculated 10
settle the race question In the soutn
once and for all.
The measure he proposes is Id" oy
which the government will furnish trshs'
portatIon free TO any unemployed negro
in the south desiring to go 10 northern
state, the only condition to this tree
transportation being that the negro does
not stop within 500 miles of the Mason
and Dixon line.
While mentioned in a jest, the idea OF
the congressman from the second is one
that c. mmen6s itself to everyone wn"
has made study of the race question IN
the south.
There is no doubt that many re-
groes would go; their penchant Tor free
rides and excursions would guarantee
thai. and the class moved would be the
yerv one that is now causing SO much
trouble-the idle or unemployed.
Once in the north and west our neigh
bors who have been giving 81 much VOL
uutary advice to the south as TO now the
negro shou d be managed would nave an
excellent opportunity or putting their
pct theories into practice. 1t is safe TO
say that ere five years rolled around
there would be a more universal ana
thorough understanding OF the race
question.
The northern states were the first to
import the negro from Africa; cheg were
also the ones that gave him his freedom
and reimbursement. Therefore, they
are responsible tor the lamenUable n
dltion OF affairs, and cannot conscen-
tiOusly shiTk their part ct working out
the solution. This they cannot do bet
ter than by taking part of the negro
problem to themselves and setting the
south an example in clvillzng and citi-
zenizing him.
The bill will most assuredly pass, for
the southern representatives Will vote
almost solidly for 1t, and how can those
from the north and west represent their
constituents and vote otherwise?
Tie beatitic results are almost Ito
plan. CLASSIC Boston can have the tar
Reel cuffy for vis-a-vis at the breakfast
table, and christian Chicago could make

Most assuredly our own Jim Grggs
has hit upon happy and mutually salts
factory solution of long~vexed 4ues
ton.

MANUFAC7URiNG ENTERPRISES.

That Dawson would be greatly bene-
flied by additional manufacturing en-
terprises is unquestionable. Inc peO-
pie of the city have the capital, ana
certainly have among Them men of
business ability to conduct the man
factories and rake them remuneratlve.
The profits derived directly on the
articles manufactured is not the only
question of profit to be considered.
BY the manufacture and Shipment OF
prOducts money that would never IN
any other way reach us is brought INTO
the town and distributed among en-
ployes and is IN turn put into clrtula-
ton by them. and thus adds to ana IN
creases the wealth of the community
generally. Take for instance the two
variety manufacturing works, the OIL
mills and the crate factory, enterprises
now in operation in Dawson. They fur
nish employment to large number OF
people who would perhaps otherwise
be ide-Or somewhere else LOOKING
for iobs-and enables them to make
living at home. Few people fully ap-
preciate the benefits derived from
such institutions, but the men who use
their means in this way, although the
primary object be for profit to them
selves, are public benefactors and are
worthy of appreciation. BY their bus
mess enterprise they furnish employ
ment to the people in the manufacture
of the products of the fields and for
ests and enables them 10 pay for the
necessities of life, thereby supporting
other occupations and maintaining the
value of real estate.
One or two good sized cotton fact0-
les would greatly add to the prosperity
of oar people and give new life to our
town.

THE SHORTAGE IN CATTLE.

Returns to the department. of agrl-
culture show that the number OF cattle
other than mich cows in the country
at the close of 1898 was nearly 1900, 600
less than the year before. This de-
cline in the total number was accom-
uanled by a rise in value of more than
$40, 1000.
'tThese figures" says the VsldOsta
Times, explain why the western cat
tie men ha1to send to this section last
year for beeves to supply the demand
upon them. 1t Is probable that
tins country will never again see as
many cattle as was raised up to a
year or so ago. The western prairies
have been converted into cotton and
grain fields and the facilities for cattle
raising are not as great as they were
in years gone by. But there is room in
south Georgia for an increase of four
fold in cattle raising, and more atten-
ton should be paid to that line. In
stead of clearing up the lands for
farming purposes they should be used
as cattle ranges. The cattle industry
promises to be the best paying of all
in the future, because the number
raised will become less and less as the
lands of the west are cleared for Guilt
VatiOn."
