THE NEGRO PROBLEM.

The tboughtfrll men of all sections of
the country are discussing with per
feet candor the negro question, and in
the main this discussion in both North
and South is conducted solely on the
line of honest inquiry, putting aside pre-
Judice or preconceived views. One of the
most remarkable of recent addresses
was delivered by DIR. 2. 3. Barringer,
chairman OF the faculty of the University
of Virginia at the recent meeting of the
Tri-State Medical Association. If we
are not mistaken. DR.. Barringer is a
son of the late General Rufus Barrin-
ger. of Charlotte. He contended that the
ages Of degradation under which the
negro was formed and the 80 centuries
Of historically recorded savagery with
which he came to America could not
be permanently influenced by one or two
centuries Of enforced correction, so that
when the correcting force was removed
the negro like the released plummet, be-

speaker said, is but the first evidence
of motion as certain in its result az
the law of gravitation. He said.
The negro was in Thebes 5000 years
before the Christian era, he was In
Carthage and in Rome when these ma
tons flourished, and always as slave.
He is the slave of the nations and ac-
cepts that condition contentedly if his
animal wants are supplied. Wherever
he has attained any circulation it has
been when he was under the control of
stronger will than his own, for in
Africa, where he has been left to HIM
self. he is still the cannibal and the
savage, that he always has been
Speaking of the young negro of the
present generation. DR.. Barringer saidi
by the time he is fully grown he is
far from home and has almost forgotten
the parents that gave him birth. He is
a liar, a thief, robber, gambler, per-
haps murderer or highwayman. fearing
neither God nor man. This man IS a
unit of that dark cloud which overhangs
the black belt of the South. Before an
other generation Of the negro is allowed
to arise, worse. as We must see, than
the present, the people of the South
must act. They must remove the negro
from politics and give the ballot to him
only when it can be given as a reward
of progress and not as. a weapon of re-
venge. The negro must be educated
along new lines.
Zone of two things may then be ex-
pected unless remedy is found. Some
question of race will probably arise VIII en-
will stir the passions and there will come
a struggle, day of Judgment for folly
piled upon folly. As all classes of the
South are of pure Saxon blood, the
chronicles of their Saxon ancestors will
be humane reading compared with the
records of that day"
