SAVANNAH. Ga. April 24.-While IN
Savannah last night Gov. Allen d can
dIer was asked what he thought oi lhe
present trip through Atlanta ana the
South Of the party Of mildonalTes anu
others who may give some money 10
colored educational institutions. In the
marty are the Rev. Or. ParlShurst and Df.
Curry the aCent Of the Peabody fund
The travellers are the guests Of .. G
Ogden. and spent Sunday in Atlanta
Governor Gambler was asked 10 meet
the visitors. but declined. When asked
what he thought Of this trip he said;
Il don't think much of it. This man
Parkhurst is a crank, as everyone
knows who has followed his course.
Booker T. Washington was the best
man in the party. Washington IS
cocd. negro. and is doing good work. 1t
is to his interest to get these Northern
ers interested in his schools He gets
money out Of them. and l don't blame
him for that at all DR.. Curry. the fea-
body agent. is good man, but l don
know much about the others. The ne
gro colleges Of the South do not need
the aid Of these Northerners very much.
DO YOU know that you can stand on
the dome of the Capitol Of Georgia ana
see more negro colleges with endoW-
ments than you can white schools? we
can attend TO the education Of the
darkey in the South without the aid OF
tlose Yankees. and give them the edu-
cation they need most, too. don't be
Iieve in the education of the darkey.
He should be taught trade, and edu-
cation makes him unhappy
You know you can make white
man unhappy by educating him above
his station in life. He begins to yearh
for things that are not in his reach ana
the same rule applies to the Southern
negro. / think the negroes should De
taught the industries, such as carpen-
try. wagon making, and kindred
trades. bur by the effort to educate nm
10 higher things and remove him from
his proper sphere and fiji him with de-
sires that he cannot satisfy he is made
unhappy. | am opposed 10 putting ne
groes in factories and Offices When
YOU do that you viii cause dissausfac-
ton between the two races, and such
Things might lead 10 a race war.
The field of agriculture is the proper
one for the negro. That is a broad call
ing. ana there is room for both races in
it. The Yankees who die and leave
their money to negro colleges do not
understand the local situation. 1t may
be right for them to send their money
back 10 the South in this manner, for
in many cases the fortunes Of the North
were laid by the carpetbaggers.
i recall only one instance where q
Northern white man has given TO the
white colleges Of Georgia. That wa:
George Iseney, and think he was in
spired TO do this because there was
some Southern blood in him, his grand
parents having come from the South, i
my memory is correct. I am not sur

All comers are heroes in their eyes
You know they made a hero out o.
Sherman when he came there.
