Judge Thomas y. Norwood. for
mer United States Senator from
Georgia, delivered a remarkable ad-
dress on the Negro here to-day, on
tho eve OF his retirement from the
bench. He mas tried probably 70.
goo Negroes since he has been a
Judge, and has made a study OF the
race. In his address he reviewed the
history of the Negroes from their
lives in Africa into slavery and out
again
He reaches the conclusion that
the Negro is not capable of higher
education. that Illicit relations be
tween the races is the curse Of the
South and that the mulatto is the
cause of much of the trouble. Judge
Norwood said, in par:
i have said that examining the
head is not education and that the
Negro cannot originate. have said
that the Negro is an imitator, and
nothing more. He can handle tools
crudely when instructed by the
white race, but he cannot invent
tools. "
Fancy man making a study OF
the Negro race on the basis of the
twelve thousand criminals who pass
ed before him. II is like bringing
a foreigner to the United States and
forcing him to live for years in a
sewer, and then transporting him
back 10 his own country. He would
Immediately inform his neighbors
that the United States was not a fit
place for a man TO live as he found
nothing but filth in that country.
What fairminded man would go to
the jails and penitentiaries or even
the supply depots for both places In
order to ascertain the standing of an
entire race without studying the his
tory and achievements of the bet
ter class OF Negroes?
He evidently did not study Cen
sus Report, No. 3, relating TO the
progress OF the Negroes. He did not
ascertain the value of their church
property. their property belonging
20 their secret societies. their per-
sonal holdings and the lots and
buildings owned by the colored peo-
pie of the United States.
Tie did not take note OF their theo-
