a,c NEGRO NOT A FACTOR.

The big Negro, that Is. one who has
an inflated conception of his or her
importance in society, is absolutely
no benefit to enterprises. If he pat
ronizes a colored institution at all 1t
Is only to the extent Of the credit al
lowed him; then he goes back to the
white shops with his tale of woe. The
average big Negro will not even sup
port a colored newspaper, but will get
all the white newspapers he can on
credit. The churches, too, suffer
from these vultures who prey upon
the good graces of the Christian ele-
ment and yield no returns whatever.
Down with this class Of cattle, who
are proving an impeachment in the
path Of progress.
We indorse the above from personal
knowledge with three big Negroes
who hold positions, where they re-
ceive big salaries. One Of these Is In
the U. 8. government service, one IN
the city and the other in the county.

Hile simply made a run at Mr.. Coy

of the kind that has ever come to
our notice, and it ought to put Hile
