MR.. PAGE AND "THE OLD TINE
NEGRO"

Mr.. THOMAS NELSON PAGE in Serb.
SER's MAGAZINE for November, says:
No servants or retainers of any rae,
ever identified themselves more fully
with their masters. The relation was
rather that of retainers than of 81 yes
1t began in the infancy of both master
and servant, grew with their growth
and continued through life. Such re-
latlon does not now, so far as / know,
exist, except in the isolated instances oil
old families who have survived all the
chances and changes with the old fam-
ly servants still hanging on. Certainly
think, 1t did not exist anyw here un-
less, perhaps, on the country es ates OF
the gentry in England. and possibly, ia
France and parts of Germany.
This relation in the South was not ex.
ceptional. 1t was the general, il NOT
the universal rule. The servants were
my servants or my people," the
masters were TO the servants, "my mas.
ter and my mistls.' or my white
folks" Both pride and affection spoke
in that claim
In fact, he ties of pride were such
that it was often remarked thar the nf
lection of the slaves was stronger toward
the whites than toward their own off
spring. This fact, which cannot be dis
puted, has been referred by Professor
Shaler to survival of a tribal instinct
which preponderated over the family
instinct. Others may possibly refer &c &C
the fact that the family instinct was
owing TO the very nature OF The lnstitu
uon OF slavery, not allowed to take
deep root. Whatever the cause, it does
not appear even now TO have taken much
root. at least, according TO the standard
n~ no 10 l.
ry Is founded upon the family instinct
Mr.. PAGE seems never able to avoid
unkind references to the Negro of to
day, against whom he seems to enter
tain most unreasoning prejudice He
says:
The family ties among the Negroes
appear to be scarcely as strong now as
they were under the institution of sla
very. Marital fidelity is. if we are 70 be
heve those who have had good oppOrtuni
ties of observation, not as common now
as it was then. The instance of deser
ton of husbands, of wives, of parents
or children would possibly offset any di
vision that took place under that insti
tuition.
1t seems strange that Mr.. PAGE die
not know that Negroes in many section.
of the South land were breeded lik,
cattle and that mulattoes are to be founC
from one end of tie southern states 1,
the other.
The immortality amongst the coloret
people today is to large extent tn
result of slavery and its b ighting en-
vironments
In dealing with delicate questiors h
has certainly over looked the newspape
accounts of the immoralities and vice
existing in every leading city in thi
country, and the white people are tn
principles in the disgusting recitals.
The poor Negro very often initiate
the white man in his vices first and i
his virtues afterwards.

known have been abandoned by nearI

cordlng TO the census of 1900, was 30l,
379 viii -es and l46, l22 blacks, making a
5otf of 441 sol. In the election OF 1904
the total vote cast was about ne-fourtn
that number. IL is true that under the
new constitution many Negroes were
disfranchised, but in each presidential
year since 1880 the Democratic vote
cast Was considerably I'm excess of the
total vote cast in 1904"
It mournfully concludes as follows:
1T is bad sign that our people take
so little interest In national elections. 1t
is not altogether Indifference. but be-
cause there Is no considerable minority
party throughout the State at large.
The Democrats are IN Overwhelming
majority and as they felt sure that
Parker would win in any event, the ma
IorIty OF them di. not take the tror-
ole to GO 90 the polls on November Sth.
But such indifference, no matter what
the con iitlons, does not make for good
government. Voting is not only n
privilege, but a duty and every uuali-
fed voter is IN duty bound TO vote in
every election, whether or not there be
q close contest"
wen, the IIMES-D1SPATCH Is giving
the same kind of advice to the white
folks that We have been giving to the
cOlored ones. The position of the Ne.
gro-halers with reference to the new
dlsfra chiSing Laws reminds us of the
story of the boy and the cross-eyed man.
The latter asked the former to bold the
cow, while he knocked the animal in
the head with an axe. The boy agreed
to this, and when the cross-eyed man
had the axe raised and was about &c
bring 1t down with al of his might, the
boy noticed that one of his eyes was
looking at him and the other eye at the
cow. He startled the man by saying
!. antd m Nisterl Are - vnirs 8.
strike the way you look? Yes" re-
sponded the man. Then" said the
boy, you'll have to get some one else
to hold this cow" and he left thai
neighborhood in hurry. -.
lie seems that the cross-eyed Negro
haters got the poor white Democratic
voters TO hold the Negro and that they
struck the way they were looking, fol
