If any one does. that much in the
papers is untrue. l deplore lynching
l admit that it is bad policy. But I'M
I'll you have had the lOathsome, hideous
horror OF such an event laid next to
you by personal acquaintance, and l
sincerely hope you never will, you will
risk nothing in being very charitable
in judging the Southern, or Northern
lYnchers.
There was an editorial in the Truth
Seeker some months ago that was as
near the exact truth as anything I
ever saw. In that you said that the
Abolitionist idea that the negro was
a white man in a black skin was a
mistake. You might have added that
in judgment the negro compares with
the white about as a 6-year-oId boy
does with grown man. 1t is incon-
sistent in a Christian to believe the
negro is not as good as a white man,
but to a Freethinker it is consistent
when the facts warrant his belief.
Now, l am going to tell you some of
the things the Southern whites do for
the negroes. 1t will be exclusive news
II you print it. for you never see the
like in Northern paper.
At a meeting of the Manhattan
Liberal Club, some months ago. a ne
gro lawyer spoke of the burning of ne
gro school houses in a way to lead one
to suppose that every time the South
ern white was hard up for amusement
he went out and burned a negro school
house. Dear friends, the Southern
taxpayer has built more than 10000
school houses for negroes, and pays
many more than $4,000 negro school
teachers every year. The money South
ern whites have paid for negro educa-
ton would make the gifts of Peabody
and Carnegie look like thirty cents,
and you only have to look at the
United States census reports to see if
l am telling you the truth.
have been all over the South. I
never knew white people to burn a
negro school house. Such things have
happened. / know, but few and far be-
tween. In Ocala, ten years ago, the
negro public school building was
burned. Nobody has accused any
white man of setting fire to it. 1t is
believed that the carlessness of a ne
gro caused the fire. The negroes say
so themselves. That school house has
been rebuilt. It is a neat and substan-
tial building. By far the greater pro-

COWS MILK
Brings Enormous Income to
the American Farmer.
IT'S FOOD QUALITIES.

The average income from each COW
throughout the United States is about
$500 a year. In some states, notably
Pennsylvania, they bring their owners
an income on an average of $500 each
year. There are over seventeen million
milch COWS in the United States, accord
ing to the last census. Of the states
Iowa has the lead with over five million
and a half horned cattle. Milk is
healthy and fattening when fresh and
from good, healthy cattle. 1t is good
for consumptives and those weakened
by disease. The only danger being from
the fact that milk affords a splendid
medium for germs of typhoid fever and
consumption to grow in and then infect
the blood of the person drinking it.
Again, the cows themselves often suffer
from tuberculosis or consumption, and
this can infect the human being drink
ing their milk. When we come to count
our chances for taking disease however,
we should not fear infection unless our
blood is in disorder and our constitution
run down-for all around us are the
germs of disease, ready to fasten on us
and grow like parasite if we are weak
to resist. The mosquito, with its bite
injects into our veins malaria, yellow
fever, and other fatal troubles. The fly,
with spongv feet, collects the invisible
germs of diseases, spreads them over our
food and poisons us with typhoid, cholera
and other plaques of the human race.
In preparing ourselves against bacterial
attacks there are many important things
to be thought of-proper nourishment of
the blood, nerves, lungs, heart and liver.
Important to us is proper food for the
stomach, pure air for the lungs, exercise
and cleanliness at all times. If our
stomach is vout of whack," if the blood
does not get the proper nutriment out OF
the food eaten, we at once weaken our
defensive forces and the germs of ca
tarrh, consumption or grip readily enter.
DR.. Pierce, the eminent physician of
Buffalo, n. Y, says, "if each person will
consider his system as an army of men
which he controls as a general, and will
see to its proper provisioning and that it
has plenty of ammunition in the shape OF
good red blood, he will be able to over.
come the enemy in the shape of the
germs of disease" Every healthy per
son has five million red blood cells or
corpuscles to every square mil1imeter OF
blood. The number of red blood cor
puscles in the average human being is
SO great that it is almost incomprehen-
sibie. However, their numbers increase
with health or decrease with illness OF
mal-nutrition. The best tonic for in
creasing the red blood corpuscles and
building up healthy tissue is no doubt
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
This medicine has been on the market
for over a third of a century and num-
bers its cures by the thousand.
A tonic made up largely of alcohol
will shrink the corpuscles of the blood
and make them weaker for resistance. A
cod liver oil makes the stomach groan
because it is irritating. What is needed
is an Alternative extract made of roots and
herbs, without the use of alcohol, that

With the passing of Christmas, retail
trade is beginning to assume its nor
NAL condition and the tradesmen are
figuring on the results of the holiday
trade. In all lines. according to the
still incomplete figures as yet obtain
able, the trade of the holiday season
lust ended was most satisfactory.
1t was a matter of comment among
the merchants that not only was bust
ness better as to the number Of sales
made during what is known as the
Christmas rush, from Dec. 10 to Dec.
"a but that in all lines a better class
of goods was demanded and in the
majority of cases cash was paid for
purchases instead of goods being
charged.
This is no small consideration to the
merchant, who, buying his goods on
short time and selling them at small
margin of profit, often has
to carry accounts for several
months, and besides the actual
inconvenience of not being able
to collect his accounts is put to the
further disadvantages and expenses of
having to keep additional help in the
way OF bookkeepers and collectors.

NEGRO QUESTION NOT
A BURNING ONE
Clear Views of a Southern Born Free-Thinker
and Republican.

am a Southern born man, a
Freethinker and a Republican. The
combination is rather unusual. but
there are more like me, in part if not
altogether, than you suppose.
Like Mr.. DOLPHIN, have been Jared
by your attitude on the negro. Not
to the extent of ceasing to read your
paper, which 1 buy at a news stand, but
! deplore it, because it loses you some
friends and influence you might other
wise have.
1 do not attribute your attitude to
unfairness, but to a lack of acquaint-
ance. My father owned scores of ne
groes; he never whipped one or al
lowed one to go hungry or ill-clad, and
he was like the great majority of
Southern Shareholders. 1 was rocked
in the cradle by a negro nurse, play
ed with negro children as child, have
worked with them as a man, have lived
in the South nearly forty years, and
never had any trouble worth speaking
of with a negro. Such is the exper-
fence of two-thirds of the whites and
negroes of the South.
To read your paper, and other North
ern papers, one would suppose that
every Southern community had its race
problem. You do not seem to have
any idea how big the South is. 1t
covers 100000 square miles; it is inhab-
tied by 25,000,000 people, 100000 of
whom are negroes. In North Carolina
to-day a negro may commit an atroc-
ious crime and be terribly punished.
In Texas tomorrow similar events
may happen. But between lie thous-
and miles of travel and millions of
people, white and colored, who are
working and living side by side, and
will die without knowing that there is
any race problem, except what they see
in the papers.
There is a great deal of truth in your
answer to Mr.. DOLPHIN, and some err
ror. 1 do not believe, for instance.
that excursion trains were ever run
to a lynching. l know it has so been
stated, but 1 doubt the truthfulness
of the statement. As to carrying away
gruesome relics, while there are bound
to be some wild beasts in every mob,
no man with even veneering of de-
cency would want TO touch a relic of
such a horrid event. You should know,

CITY SETTLES DOWN AFTER
RECORD BREAKING CHRISTMAS
Holidays of 1908 Will Go on Record as Remark
able in More Ways Than One

After a record breaking Christmas
Eve and Christmas Savannah has
practically settled down, to run along
for another year. There was some
shooting of fireworks yesterday, but
the noise was not noticeable when
compared with the din of the two pre-
vious days.
Christmas Eve and Christmas. 1905.
passed with less rowdyism and drunk
enness, and more noise, than any other
year in the history of the CITY. The
lack of drunkenness was particularly
noticeable, and is not easily account
ed for. More saloons were closed all
day Christmas than ever before and
this may have had a great deal to
do with the general sobriety of the
city.
Still it was not difficult to get a
drink, and a majority of the barrooms
were open for business. In localities
where the police had confidently ex-
pected trouble there was little or no
disorder. The extra detail of men in
the Tenderloin did not have enough to
keep them busy, and the Flying
Squadron" in Yamacraw called the pa
troll wagon only once Christmas Eve
night.
Very Few Disturbances.
Every precaution had been taken bv
Supt. Garfunkel, and the entire DO
lice force was in service during the
greater part Of the two days. The
police had been given to understand
that there would be serious trouble in
Yamacraw and We're prepared for it.
There was not single disturbance of
a serious nature, however. The con-
dition of Broughton street on Christ
mas Eve night has been generally COM
mented upon and the police We're COM
plimented because of the lack of
rowdyism.
There were only two disturbances on
the street during the night and in one
case the negro who began the fight
was Immediately placed under arrest
and sent to the police station. In the

where the white commits one.
Mr.. Pentecost, whose opinions high
~ respect, inquired at the before mem
toned meeting of the Manhattan Lib
eral Club. How could a negro's capa-
city for voting be decided until he had
a chance to vote?" Now, if Mr.. Pente-
cost had lived in New Orleans as long
as he has lived i'll New York. l don't
think ne would have asked that ques-
ton. He ought to know that the me-
gro had his chance not only to vote
but to govern, in nine states, from 1868
to 1876, and he ought to know that
he ran those states into anarchy and
bankruptcy. And he also should know
that since the white man has resumed
his control of those states they have
prospercd and are fairly well govern
ed.

ton, as to why white men do not adj

eide for himself III wager there are

And now I want to ask all Northern
Freethinkers to be little more just in
their estimates of the South, and IL
they must sit in judgment in the mat
ter to first obtain some information
from people who know something
about II, and not from theorists who
were never south Of Mason and Dix
on's line or from agitators whose in
terest II is to make trouble.
I would not advise any Southern
Freethinker to stop the Truth Seeker
because it is sometimes unjust on the
negro question. 1t is too valuable n
paper for other reasons. Besides, the
editor is very fair on the question him
self, though many Of the contributors
are not. Besides, one cannot obtain
enlightenment on any matter by shut
ting off debate.
