SEEKING THE WRONG REMEDY.

The gentlemen who write long edi'
torials and indite learned articles for
the magazines on the "nameless
crime" and the remedy therefor, may
be scholars and statesmen, but they
are not practical by any means. Let
any man lay down his own premises
and he can produce almost unanswer-
able arguments The trouble is, the
premises are incorrect. For instance,
they hop on the better element of the
colored race for not teaching these
people better, for not pointing out to
them, not only the wrong, but the dan
ger of such things; some writer's go so
far as to say that the respectable ele-
ment rather shows an inclination to
protect, or at least to sympathize with,
the rapist. This may be true i'm some
cases, though we doubt tat least
doubt that any well educated or re-
spectacle Negro ever does this.
But the, point we make is this-the
class of Negroes given to these out
RACES never go inside of church;
they never attend school; they never
hear, much less read, of what is going
on. In other words, they can not be
reached. Last week at the meeting OF
the Rowan Baptist Association, COM
posed of colored people, held in this
place, some strong talks were made
and papers read condemning this
crime in unmeasured terms, yet how
much good was done? Not man of the
class sought to be reached was in the
house. 1t can be said that others could
talk to them even if they do not at
tend a church or any school, but the
trouble is Indicating this class. They
are isolated from the best element OF.
their race; in fact, the ignorant Negro
gets it into his head that his brother
who knows something is stuck up I
and don't want to know him This is
natural, and, in fact, white people get
the same idea in their heads, so that
it is impossible to reach these classes.
Sifted down, the cure lies in education
lin school and in the church-any
and everywhere, but the first thing is
education, for if you can get boy to
attend school, he viii learn these
things, even if he cannot be taught to
read, write or cipher" but the point
is to reach him, to pen him up and en-
tighten him Greensboro an. CO. Rec

THE WORTH OF WORDS.

The Worth Of Words: BY DR.. Ralc
50 net. New York: The Grafton Press.
Cooper says: Words are the red corpus
cles in the blood Of language, and upon
language depends social integrity. See
the mighty Importance of words. Is it
less than .sacrilegious to mistreat them?
Words being the red corpuscles of Ian
guage, it follows that the smaller ones
vocabulary is, the more anemic will be
his brains Children
DR.. Bell is a poet and understands the
value of words as only the few do, and
in producing this work he has merely JUS
titled his natural fitness in this line.
SOEae persons are correct as to gram
mar, others as to rhetoric. A wrong use
of a proposition or verb may be quite Of
fensive to the trained grammarian, the
improper application of figure of speech
offends the accomplished taste.
There was grocer who was very ac-
curate in his grammer, and he wanted
his customers to use proper language
and took some trouble to instruct them.
One day customer called and said to
him: whats eggs to-day?" The reply
was Eggs are eggs Darn glad te
hear it, the last got here were mo7s
than half chickens"
In 1.-The Worth of Words DR.. Bell a,

clear manner, and many errors Of speech
which are often made by persons of in
telligence may be corrected by a carefv

it is hoped that the book may be valuable
both for travellers, who wish to have

Within the last year or two there has
been written a good deal Of interesting
life Of the Republic and Of the colonial
period. Much Of the matter that has
been given to the public bears the stamp
Of hastiness and i'll preparation, and can
hardly be classed as standard literature.
Anne Hollingsworth Wharton, however, in
Social Life in the Early Republic has

she has written dealing with the men,

the reading people, but caused them to
