Negro Peculiarities.

The most casual observer notices every day the peculiarities and characteristics Of the uneducated negro.
 He has a fondness for music. In fact every negro has a talent for music to a certain extent, although the extent may not go beyond the tune of Hot Times" "Shortnin' Bread or other favorite selec- tons with the race.
 Very few negroes cannot play larps, accordeons, guitars and other simple in struments without any taeching or in struction whatever.
 Every negro can sing. Few of them have trained voices but the negro's bass Is splendid. and their voices are with few exceptions strong and at times melodious.
 No song of the ragtime tendency is introduced by vaudeville show two days before the smallest 'coon" has caught the tune with about two paragraphs of It's phraseology and is humming 1t to per lection.
 So fond are they of time and music that it Is often mingled in their every day work.
 Have you never seen a force of ne- groes working on a railroad, farm or elsewhere without the warbling of some lullaby? I never have. If they are 1T bodies or groups each group sings to- gether a few verses of rhyme which navt neither meaning nor connection but whlcf blend in harmony with their picks as they break the earth, or their shovels, axes ol other implements. Each pick strikes the earth at the same time and each of the darkies grunts are blended into one.
 Listen and observe closely when tht small negro boy polishes your shoes ant you will detect tune in the swish Of hi polish rag. The tune will not be the Due from Troubadour" sor any high class op era. It will be perhaps Way Down II Georgia" Coon, Coon, Coon," MT Dooley," or perhaps Dixie" and thu young boot black is ambitious to attrac your attention to this attainment.
 When he polishes your shoes he brushei your clothes and hat and with the whisl broom he beats music as well as dus from your apparel.
 The negro flagman on the railroad trail has a melody in the exaggerated tones o his voice as he calls the station which i peculiar to the negro flagman and whicl can be executed by him only.

 "The darn things closed up," he said How do you get into it?'

 Reaching to the bottom of the box the impatient man pulled with all his might to lift the box.

 He said that his train last week carried from twenty-five to one hundred passen- gers each day from South Georgia and Florida to Montgomery with tickets to points in the North, and at various sea sons of the year he said the traffic was as large going South.
 Of course this does not include passen- gers to and from intermediate points It applies to tourists and Northern people who visit Southern resorts.
