get that not more than a dozen years
ago the people of several localities of
the South, when outsiders organized
colonies of colOred people to go to
Kansas and elsewhere, took steps to
drive off the promoters of such emf

at home. 1t would be a disaster for
the South to lose a large portion of
its cclored labor" The reminder is
we'll made. 1t would not be disaster,
however, but an unmixed blessing for
the South to lose all its colored labor,

at once. The best interests of both
races in the South imperatively de-
mand their gradual but sure separa-

both races for it.--Charleston News
