The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1906-10-17

The Charleston News and Courier,
which is a very conservative paper,
declares that
Separation of the races is the only
radical solution of the negro prob
lem in this country. There is moth
ing new about it. 1t was the AL
mighty who established the bounds
of the habitation of the races. The
negroes were brought here by COM
pulsion; they should be induced to
leave here by persuation. There is
no room for them here, living on
terms of political and social equali-
ty with the white people. There is
opportunity for them in the land
of their forefatherS. Abraham Lin
coin, who set them free from slavery,
declared that it was impossible for
two diverse races to live together
on the same soil upon terms OF
equality. Ulysses S. Grant, who
fought for them, was in favor of
their colonization and settlement in
the West Indies. DR.. Blyden, one OF
the ablest negroes that has ever
lived, looked to the removal and set

Hard to Down.

Judge Dick Russell, of Jackson
county, Georgia, said in his cam
paign for governor against Hoke
Smith that the ambition of his life
was to see his eleven daughters in
their pinafores trOoping up Peach
tree street. He can have that graf
flied after all, though the girls will
not wend their way to and from the
executive mansion unless they go
to play with the young Hoke Smiths
that is, if there are any young
Hoke Smiths. Judge Russell didn't
go into his tent sulking after he
was beaten for governor. He got
out and hustled for something just
as good" as the governorship, and
in the general election last week he
was elected one of the judges for
the new court of appeals. The Geor-
gia politician is not easily dis

THE PIOUs HYPOCRITE.

The New Bedford Standard says
that Ripple, late president OF the
looted Banking and Trust Company
of Philadelphia, lis execrated al
most as much for his obstruslVe
Diety, his avoidance Of liquors ana
tobacco and his early hours for SUM
Der as he is for stealing something
like FIVE million dollars Of the bank S
money. Nor is this altogether with
out reason. People do not like to
see a rascal disguised in the robes
of conspicuOusly conventional
sainthood 1t is somehow an add1-
tional breach of confidence to pose
as a pattern man while acting the
thief in the safety of the trust thus
obtained. So, when one of these
hypocrites is discovered the revul-
sion of feeling toward him natur-
ally breaks out in hard language.
And the Rome Tribune, who de-
spises the pious hypocrite as much
as we do, grows strong in denuncia-
ton, and says:
IF there is one thing more than
anything else that we heartily de-
spise it is the religious hypocrite,
who uses his supposed piety as
cloak for his business rascality. We
had rather be defrauded out of our
rights, goods and money by bum
co-steerer any time than to lose it
through a pillar of the church who
we had been disposed to trust lit
tie more than we ordinarily would
because of his supposed piety. We
do not take much stock in these ex-
cessively pious people, anyhow. We
have seen people who 'cussed' more
than they ought, but whom we had
rather trust than other people whom
we know spend a good deal Of time
praying especially in public.
"Of all detesrable things the pious
hypocrite is the limit.

MUST THE RACES SEPARATE?

ing, and has been urging for years,
the removal of the negro to Africa.
There is room and opportunity for
him in the negro republic OF Ii
IBERIA.
The difficulty of this radical So
luton of the problem is not greater
than the ready resources of this
country. In calculating the cost OF
helping the negroes to go to Africa
Carlyle Mckinley, in his Appeal to
Pharaoh" fifteen years ago, reckon
ed that by the expenditure of 1872
100000 d year for ten years the
whole black and colorel population
of this country could be removed
to Africa in the course of a decade
and without seriously interfering
with the industries of the south, or
imposing any special hardship upon
the negroes The problem" is
worse now than it was ten or TWEEN
ty years ago. 1t will grow more
difficult as the years come and go.
1t must be settled some day. 1t
can be settled effectively only by
the separation of the races. The
sooner it is settled the better for
both races and for the sake Of all
humanity.

WATSON is OUT.

The news has been given out both
in New York and in Thomson that
Tom Watson is no longer connected
with Watson's Magazine. The New
York company which is publishing
the magazine, and in which Colonel
w. D. Mann of unsavory Town Top
les fame is the chief stakeholder,
has re-organized to the exclusion Of
Mr.. Watson. The reason for dis
Densing with the celebrated pOpu-
lists editorial services was that the
other stockholders did not think it
right for him to use a magazine
printed for the general public to
vent his spleen on political enemies
in Georgia. The last issue of the
publication was burdened with a
twenty-seven page article venting
Mr. Watson's spite against the editor
of the Macon Telegraph, with whom
he has an ancient fued. This was
carrying it too far, and the fiery
and scrappy Georgian was bounced
by his associates.
Mr. Watson, it is stated, will give
his entire attention to a weekly
newspaper published in Augusta.

brother, Clarence. These two chill

it breaks his little heart for her to
be taken away from him. 1t is a

1906, the Angel of Death visited the

claimed their dear little sweet Bes-
sic Mae, who was so dear to them.
She was born November IA, 1905.
Don't weep fond parents, for lit
tie darling Bessie Mae had to go.
Her sufferings are over on this
earth, and we can realize that Jesus
died for her and she will be His
when He comes to make up His
Jewels. Your little darling Bessie
Mae is not lost, but has gone before,
for the Lord giveth and the Lord
taketh away"

er, two little cousins, uncle and two
aunts, and grand parents be re-
signed to the. will of God in the re-
moval of their little one.

Friday, but the child had to go. All
he could do was of no avail.
The remains were inferred at

Peace be still, thy aching heart
No longer grieVes and mOurns.
Dear Bessie Mae has gone to be
With those around the throne.
Her soul has now taken it's flight
To mansions OF glory above,
To bask in ineffable light,
And dwell in the kingdom OF love.
We loved her much, we mourn her
loss;
God loved her more,
He babe her rest; His will be done;
He knOweth the best.

WHAT MIR. BRYAN STANDS FOR

The tour of Mr.. w. ]. Bryan
through the south has caused much
discussion as to his views upon pub
lie questions that are uppermost in
the minds of the people at this time.
The curbing of the trusts is his first
and most important word. He would
accomplish this by specific measures,
among them the reduction Of the
tariff. Other things he favors is the
election of United States senators by
direct vote of the people; the pro-
hibition of campaign contributions
from corporations; constitutional
amendment which will make posi-
BILE an income tax; eventual indie
pendence for the Filipinos, and ar
bitration of labor disputes. Mr.. Bry-
an is today recognized as the one
great leader of his party, and many
if not all of these tenets of his faith
will be incorporated in the democrat
ic platform by the votes of delegates
In the next convention.
