A SOUTHERN woMANs VIEW.

A SOUTHERN wOMANS VIEW.
Editor Providence News:
Your editorial on Modern Slavery" in
Saturdays issue, is hardly fair 10 the
South at large. Because peonage Is al
legged To exist I'm one or two states does
not prove that the entire community IL
guilty OF the practice. The negro ques-
tion cannot he intelligently discussed
unless one has lived in the South and is
familiar with both sides OF the subject
have often noticed that the writers
at the North leave the impression that
the negro is TO this day grossly ill-treat
ed in the South: that the entire North is
living up the constitutional assertion and
Christian precept All men are equal.
II has been my misfortune TO witness
a number OF contradictions 10 these
noble sentiments. Here in your city
many Incidents could be cited TO prove
my point that much is professed by the
Northern people for the negro action.
Observe how he IL treated at your
theatres for instance. He approaches
the box office. holds out a dollar bill and
asks for an orchestra seat, to he told
that the house is sold out. except few
seats In the balcony. The negro leaves
the window and I approach to take my
choice OF fine seats right In the centre
OF the house" With this In mind | re-
solved to test another theatre, and pur-
chased an orchestra seat for my colored
waitress--a clean. respectable, well-be-
haved person. Two evenings later she
presented the ticket, but was sent to the
balcony by the man at the door
Much against her wishes an usher took
her orchestra ticket and exchanged II
for one i'm the balcony. This seems to
me TO be a discrimination, Isn't one
dollar as good as another? Strange things
are indeed happeninc when n Southerner
the daughter OF n slave owner, must
write in the negro's defense IN the land
OF the free.

Hair Raising.

Just when the mutilation of the dead
by tearing the skin from the head be-
gan will never be known, for the origin
is lost in the midst of ages, the record

Of which that bloody history is so full
the victorious soldiers tore the skin
from the heads of their vanquished
foes. This would be evidence that the
custom of scalp taking was CGs Of the
