at comes out hair lips. l don't like it.
The type didn't know that a rabbit
had slit under It's nose. II l write
mat l walked out into the garden to
Jet my choler down, meaning my an
GER, the typo thinks I meant my shirt
collar, and so changes the spelling to
suit his own idea. But since read an
EDITORS defense In a New York paper
feel better, for he says it Is amazing
now few of these mistakes are made
an the great dailies that have to be
rushed through with lightning speed.
fIhe constant pressure on type settlers
and proof readers is tremendous, but
they rarely make any serious blum
ders, and the intelligent reader can
generally correct them in his mind.
And so I will not worry any more
about it. There are some little things
that are Of more consequence just
now. Our cook has quit, and so has
the house maid-gone off to Rockmart
for a week or two-gone to a house
party, | think. That is all right, for
the cook has been faithful long time
and needed rest. She is a good SER
want and keeps a clean kitchen, and
We have had house party ourselves
for several months. | have been sick,
but now We are reduced to the regular
family of five and have but little to
cook and can get along on two meals
a day. My wife arranged it for me
to fire up the stove and fill up the ket-
ties and grind the coffee and put on
the hominy and then ring the bell for
the girls to get up and finish up the
breakfast. She said if l felt like it
might sweet out the hall and the
front veranda and settle up the front
room. Well, Of course, l had to split
up some kindling and bring in the
stove wood, but l am getting along
fairly well and my wife thinks the
exercise is doing me good. Last night
she limited that the veranda was badly
tracked up since the rain and needed
a good washing. So this morning
turned loose the hose pipe on it and
she praised me right smart and
brought her some roses from my gar
den. We let her sleep until breakfast
Is ready, for she cleans up her room
and makes up two beds and then sews
all day for the grandchildren. But
want that colored house party to
break up as soon as possible, for
don't banker after this morning bust
ness as a regular job. Mrs. Mimms
says she likes it, and / think she does.
She has a good room in the back
yard and good furniture and a hand
some lamp to read by, and her little
grandson lives with her, and | don't
know of any colored woman that has a
better time. In fact, know Of lots of
good negroes in town who are con-
tented with their situation and will
continue SO il they are let alone by
the northern fanatics and southern
crankS.
What craze has come over that man
sliced to cause him to write such a
fool piece for the Boston magazine?
What good can it possibly do, even If
it was true? But it is not true and
only the product Of diseased imagi-
nation. would write hard things
about him but for his family connec-
tons. For their sake he had better
have smothered his feelings and his
pen. The Atlantic Monthly has never
shown any love for the south, and why
should he select that as organ passeth
omprehension. Professor Siedd says
the negro Is an inferior race. Then
why does he insist that We give him a
place in our own churches and hotels
and railroad cars?
It was the work Of the Creator that
made him Inferior and he will remain
so-and neither education nor misce-
genation will ever change it so far as
social equality Is concerned. Moses
violated the law Of God when he mar
ried that Ethiopian woman, and he
had to discard her, and Aaron and
Miriam chided him for it long after
wards. Numbers, xii The story goes.
according to Josephus, that the Egyp-
tians We're at war with the Ethio-
plans and had suffered defeat in every
battle until Pharaoh was advised that
no one could command his army sue
cessfully but Moses. So Moses was
given command and he marched with
the army to the borders of Ethiopia
and met the enemy and defeated them
and then marched on to Saba, the roy
al city, and attacked the walls, and
Tharbls, the daughter Of the king,
saw Moses from the window Of her
tower, and he was SO handsome that
she fell desperately in love with him
and sent messenger to him to say
that IL he would marry her she would
