BLACK ANGELS.
Macon (Ga.) Telegraph

|MdcOn tGa.) telegraph
1t IS reported from Rome, Ga,
that DOCK agents now operating in
FLOYD County and neighboring coun-
ties are reaping a rich harvest from
the sale to Negroes Of Bibles in
which Christ, the angels and various
other scrlptural characters are pic
tured in the various illustrations
with black faces. It is further
stated that the intrinsic value of the
Bibles being sold is only rs cents,
but that the charge is 500 down
and the balance on the installment
plan. According to the published
account this is the first time that
such game" has been worked in
that section.
Granting that so inherently i'm
probable story is true, We are in
clined to think that this is the first
time that such a game has been
worked in any section. The expert
ment has been tried more than
once, but according to report is has
always failed. An amusing story Of
one such experiment appeared In
the Saturday Evening Post a few
years ago. An inventive genius
with more imagination than money
put all his available funds into an
edition of Bibles with "colored an
gels and started on O. Southern
tour with the expectation Of making
d fortune.
But he attended and addressed
only one assembly Of Negroes. The
latter were delighted to hear Of a
Bible that did Justice" to the black
man, and they almost fell over each
other in their eagerness to look at
pit, but when they saw the "Colored
angels their enthusiams died q
iSuddcn death. They not only did
not invest, but hurriedly retired
leaving the astonisbed book agent
| to pack up his Bibles and learn by
inquiry that his vanished audience
without exception believed that their
souls were white, and that black
skins and woody hair were to be
left behind when they sbu6Ied of
this mortal coil. -.....
