A Sensible Negro.

The following spoken by a
Georgia colored man ought to
have space in every paper in the
South. Both white and black
should read it:
II have never entertained the
idea that any class Of people were
better friends to me than south
ern people.
"Thc Negroes own conduct de-
termines the whole thing. can
truthfully assert this from per-
sonal experience, with daily asso-
citation and discourse with some
of the most radical negro haters'
/ find in different sections of the
State. l have found that where
a negro endeayored to make some
thing of himself and those about
him, attends to his own business,
he always had more than enough
white friends TO assist him.
''Agaln on the other hand, l
have found some negroes that
never work, never pay taxes, half
filed with corn liquor, sitting
around abusing the white people,
in other words, barking at the
moon and at the same time de-
pending upon them for existence.
1T is the latter class of negroes
who make the problem more COM
plex."

Lace Stock collars.

Among the nanny summer ac-
cesso-ies, the unlincd lace stock
collar justly claims precedence,
1t is as dainty as it possibly can
be, and is also cool and comfor-
table if properly shaped and not
cut too high. Mrs. A. l.. German,
the well known authority on
dressmakipg, who writes rcgu-
larry for The Delineator, deyotes
her entire article in the August
number to the making of unllned
lace boleros, collars with open
neck, tichus and g1rdles. Illus
tration and description admirably
fit each other in this article and
it will be found very valuable to
those who make their own dres-
ses, and yet at the same time wish
to appear dainty and up to date.

Joseph Walter Alexander, little
six year old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Turner II. Alexander of Mcneil
Mss, Died Thursday evening
near midnight July, 11th., 1901.
Little Joe was bright little boy
and will be badly missed by his
relatives and friends. Though
we miss him badly and it breaks
our hearts to part with him, still
we know he is at rest IN the arms
of our dear Savior and we should
prepare ourselves to meet him
there, we never shall see his
bright sweet face here on this
earth again, but we have a happy
hope that we shall see him in
bright array on high.
Thou art sleeping sweetly sleeping,
With thy death-imprinted brow;
Thou hast passed away forever,
And our hearts are lonely now,

Settler ana ms C00A.

Etitor Settler, of the Iiattics-
burg Progress, has been having
a round with his cook. lie layin
bed the other morning after his
Sunday of pious reflection, until !
tune to so into breakfast be-
or A. learned that the autocrat
rf then kitchen was late. That
aasIe fhe editor warm just under
thai luxuriant growth of whia-
kers, and he vented his indigna-
ton against the cause Of his woe
il this wise:
"This is Monday morning ard
Of course the colored cook did not
show up. She was cut late last
night trying to get religion and
she did not get up with the lark
this morning. But she will be
around for that balance directly
The colorcd cook is the most
independent thing on earth IN
less it is the razor back SOW. She
comes when she gets ready, cooks
as much and as often as she pleas
es and totes away in her tin
bucket all she can carry or all the
bucket will hold. She has seven
teen other niggers at the tips of
her fingers to feed, and twenty
five children to wear clothes.
She never eats a bite where she
is employed-tbat would appear
like humbling herself too mach
to the white folks-but loads her
bucket to the guard rails and
goes out to do missionary work,
to feed the poor and starving
and they are numerous. The
boss may growl and the missus
may whine, but the stealing goes
on ever more.
The colored cook never takes
anything as a gift. It is not her
nature. She does not know how.
If every night her bucket was
filled BY the lady of the house and
set OH the table this eolored cook
would not take It there and then.
She would wait until the lady's
back was turned when she would
steal It. The white people are
not only feeding some Of the neg
roes SOME Of the time, but they
are feeding all of the negroes all
the time.
Then if you should have COM
pany this colored cook strikes,
not for higher wages, for wages
are no object, but because she is
not ''gWine tocook for all the pore
white trash in the country. -
Then She proceeds to fiji her tin
bucket full Of grub, and after
putting numerous articles of
wearing apparel belonging to the
white folks under her apron she
sails forth into the world and
soon finds herself in the midst of
a very interesting cake walk.
The colored cook controls the
balance of power. She works for
So per month, steals $50 worth OF
grub and old clothes, and cooks
whenever she feels like it. 1t
must not be limited that she is not
doing her duty or She will quit.
If the hint is not gwen she will
quit anyway, just to show that
she has that power. And she
would not sleep on the premises
for ham. No, that would be
humbllng herself beyond endur-
ance. During all this she never
loses her religion.
The colored cook is the great
est nuisance with which the coun-
try has to contend. She is the
most worthless high priced an
imal on earth. She will steal
her worth iii grub in fifteen min
utes if the grub is on the place
and her fellow is standing on the
outside of the fence. Lying is
