that not all Southerners are Bour-
bons The October number of the
South Atlantic Quarterly, published
at Durham, n. O., by professors of
Trinity college, goes much farther
than even the Advertiser. 1t contains
several articles on this subject, one of
them by the president of the college.
All are outspoken in the belief in the
possibility Of uplifting the negro race
in this country. On this point the
president says "If the negro cannot
be made to till a higher place in the
kingdom of human life, then American
civilization must acknowledge a de-
feat-it has found race of people
which it cannot benefit, the Christian
religion has found a man It cannot
save.
