Tug BsAsTHooo" OF he NEGRO

The Literary Digest for October Is,
1902, contains a review of book
written by one Charles Carroll, who is
seeking notoriety by trying to make it
appear that the Negro is beast, and
therefore, not member of the human
family. OF course, Mr.. Carroll is a
southern man. and his book is intended
for southern consumption.
This author states that 'The Bible
plainly teaches that man was create d
a single pair in the image Of G d. If
the white man, with his exalted physi-
cal and mental characteristics, was
created thus, it is plain that the Negro
must have been made after some other
model, for scientific investigation of
his physical and mental qualities re-
veal an organism approximately more
closely that of the lower animals than
of the human race. God rejected Cain
because he married Negless."
This book. we are told, is being
very extensively sold in the South,
and shows the kind of literary food
that is relished by the southern ap-
petite. 1t took long time for south.

women were beasts. If the author is
right, then so much for his section Of
the country, for its best blood is
mingled with that of the beast.

DR.. B. F. Watson, of the A. M. E.
Church Extension Board, is of the opin-
ion that Indian Territory is an ideal
place for the enterprising Negro. He
says conditions are fourishing in that
section, and that the Indians prefer the
company of the black man to that of
the white, whose acquisitive genius and
oft-times unscrupulous methods of mani
testing it, bodies them no good. The
Indian and the white man rarely dwell
long together without repeating the leg
