Some thoughts of the Long-Ago.


The HERALD scribe enjoyed a
long chat with our venerable and
hoary locked friend, James Beard
Sr.,ss Saturdays Mr.. Beard is get
ting full of years, but has a strain
of humor running through him that
adds charm to his converse. On &C
count of defective hearing he rarely
chosen to open up himself to but
one auditor. His memory reaches
way back to almost primitive
times in Greene County. His father
was pioneer in this country and
in his lifetime told Mr.. Jim of how
we'll he remembered when in the
early sos the few scattered fam
lilies living in this section refugeed
in Mobile during the uprising of
the Creek Indians. His father
came very near taking his fam
lily to the ill-fated Fort Minis over
in Baldwin County, Ala. the en-
tire garrison and inmates of which,
men, women and children were
ruthlessly slain by the bloodthirsty
redskins, under their chef Well
ford. This writer had the pleas
ure of knowing some kinsmen of
that old chief, while he lived in
Monroe Co., Ala. They bore the
name of Wexford and were indeed
a prinrely looking set of folks, CIV
ilized and the best citizens, ranking
with the first families amongst the
whites over there. Mr.. Beard him
self remembers when strolling
bands of Indians leisurely would
pass in and out of the county hunt
ing and fishing and sometimes tar
riyng long enough to make small
crops. The bucks in lordly style
amusing themselves at the chase
the squaws going into the river
swamps and gathering material to
make baskets etc. He saw them
play the famous ball games down
on the swamp place near George
McLeod's present abode. These
were the friendly Indians: the
Choctaws and DO sibly some Cher
okees. Mr. Beard gave us some
Entertaining "reminiscences of the
so-called Late unpleasantneSs be-
tween the states in which titanic
strife he bore arms. He about
half promised to furnish US an ar
ticle with that as his text. Am
sure our readers will enjoy it if
he does.

There were only two divorce de-
crees granted at this term of the
court:
Boney Howard VS. Fannybelle How
ard Decree for Defendant.
Ruthy Davis VS. Ed Davis, ditto.
The Inquest divorce case was
passed, owing to Compl't having
failed to appear or have testimony
made.
AS stated in our previous tab
bling, the main business of this
term of the court was with suits
for quoting of titles. The bulk
of these succeeded in getting the
DEGREES sought, only two or three
that were delayed, by contests.
In the case of M. l.. Davis ct al
VS. Vinegar Bend L5r. Co., for par
tition in land owned undoubtedly by
these two concerns in common with
the Hard Mills, Decd heirs; an
order was passed that division be
made, and that same be done

osed of B. C. O'Daniel, J. H. Tur
ner and Tom Avera, discreet free
holders.

OTHER EDITORIAL.
RACE SEPARATION FOR THE JAILS.

In perusing the Waynesboro
News-Beacon we run across under
the heading of Grand Jury report
for the recent sitting of the Circuit
court, a matter that we have long
thought would use as the subject of
an editorial, as the conditions 1T
seems of the Jail at Waynesboro ex-
actly describe the undesirable con-
ditions we pretty we'll all the time
have mere. That is the putting of
the two races into the same little
jail-house, and consequently intilct-
ing upon the white man the double
punishment of Imprisonment and
inhalation of the peculiar fetid o.
dor that constantly exudes from
negro. The odor, which Thomas
jefferson is the only thinker or
scientist that has ever so far as
we have been able to ascertain Of
fered anything like a reasonable eX-
PLANTATION of its presence. His the
cry was that negro's kidney and
perspiratory system work in touch
with one another more than IN a
Caucasian and that a considerable
portion of urine is thrown off from
the body of a negro, through the
sweat-glands, hence the smell,
which exhales from their bodies.
Anybody that ever once caught
Whit of a real coon sweating
will always recognize the odor
when its waited to their olfacto-
ries. The Waynesboro Grand Ju-
rors came 50 near expressing
what we think in the premises
that we simply, subjoin here below
as our sentiments their expression:
1--WE have examined the Jail and
find that it is spledndidly kept and
that sanitary conditions are good.
But we desire to call the attention
of the Board of Supervisors to the
ia ct that the jail is too small for
the accommodation of the number
of prisoners frequently confined
therein. That by reason of the
small dimensions thereof the Sher-
if is frequently compelled to keep
both VIII tie and black prisoners
confined in the same compartment.
And that at best the white pris-
oners are so situated as to be
forced to to breathe the fetid and
obnoxious air created by the col
ored prisoners. This we believe
ito he a violation Of the law of
the state and we are sure it vlo-
lates that of humanity. And we
therefore beg to recommend to the
Board of Supervisors, that an adj
dition be built to said Jail so con-
structed that the races may be con-
fined in compartments entirely sep
Grated and distinct from each 9TH
err"
Just because a white man has
been indicted from crime and Jail
does not mean in every instance
that he is guilty, often otherwise;
then even il he was, is it morally
right to further debase him as a
criminal by causing him to submit
to racial contact than tends to par
alyze his sense of decency and ou'-
rage his lifetime training.
