DUTY TO HELP THE NEGRO

DR.. J. B. Aswell, representative
of the Fourth Louisiana congress
sic nal district, in a speech last
week concerning the bill on oegre-
cation that he introduced IN the
House, handled the race question
in such a clear manner that 1t gave
a more intelligent understanding
of the muchIy mooted question to
the radical negro sympathlzers OF
the North. The speech which we
publish below has been most fav-
orabIy commented upon
L live in the south where the
negro is contented and happy.
His troubles come from unln-
formed enthusiasts from other
sections which lead him astray.

note by the press reports the
serious and unnecessary injury
done the negro race by the lack OF
information, the misguided energy
and the wild theories expressed al
a negro church in the city OF
Washington on the 9th by Mr..
Willard of New York.
1t is reported that he attacked
the democratic administration for
the proposed segregation of the
races in the District of Columbia.
He seems to be shedding crocodile
tears because some negro clerks in
one of the departments are seated
behind hite clerks, many OF
whom are white Women,- and be-
cause someone in Atlanta said the
negro's place is in tie cornfeld
He thinks that to segregate the
races in the government service is
a stupid political policy. He
wishes it considered rude and
almost ruffiian-like policy"
Grandson of AboIItIonIst.
First, let me say that, IN my
opinion, Mr.. Willard, grandson
of William Lloyd Garrison, the
aboIitionist, is perfectly homes
and sincere IN his devotion to th'
negro. l have heard him speal
with affectionate sympathy for th'
race, but his trouble is, like many
other good but poorly informed

that the first really pressing pro

A survey of agricultural condi-
tions in the State at the request OF
Senator Ransdell, has been made
by DIR. w. A. Taylor, chief of the
Bureau of Plant Industry of the
Department of Agriculture. &C
companied by DIR. B. H. Rawl,
chief of the dairy division of the
Bureau Of Animal Industry.
DR.. TAYLOR praised the corn
produced in the State and believes
thai damage to the crop by the
recent heavy rains was not of
permanent character.
Although Louisiana planters,
especially in the sugar district, are
facing a crisis" said DR.. Taylor,
there is not the least occasion for
discouragement in Louisiana Free
sugar will not take away the fer
tilitv Of the soil and the climate
and other favorable conditions will
remain here. Perhaps the division
of the large plantations into small
farms will bring the increased
population that is needed. Thrift,
economy and energy will do the
rest.
Louisiana offers splendid ad-
vantages for stock raising, but the
readjustment will have to come
gradually. No farming country
was ever turned into stock rails

in the service of this government
should be encouraged or tolerated. |
after such an experience it'll
will require ten years of study and
thcorizing for Mr.. Willard to
square his present theories with
the facts of the case. He would
then not only be in favor of put
ting the negro clerks on the back
seats which he now complains OF,
bnt he would place them IN separ-
ate buildings, or better still, have
enter the industrial fields of en-
deavor where the Almighty bv the
stamp of color decreed they should
be. He should not hold the de-
mocratic party responsible for the
wisdom of the Almighty.
Would Mr.. Willard or any
other white man suggest a negro's
being president of the United
States, in the presidents cabinet,
on the supreme bench, or mem
Der of the house or the senate :
The average negro himself would
not suooast such an absurd prOpO-
sition. Would Mr.. Willard or any
other good white man be willing
! for his sister or his daughter to
marry a negro? Thus, by the
logic of facts, the negro's position
lin society and in the republic is
circumscribed, graded, limited.
1t is then a question Of informa-
ton as to what his proper llmlta-
tons should be. For negroes and
whites to occupy the same work
tables, the same bath rooms, and
use the same towels is the begin
nlng of social equality which the
majority of the people of this
country will meyer permit. The
government has no right to break

TWO SMALL BOYS INJURED.
Robt. Bowers and Langley Street
Hurt by Explosion.

Lancaster, March 5.-Two small
boys, Robert Bowers and Langley
Street, of this place, sons, respective
ly, of Ellis Bowers, a well-knoWn
Lancaster contractor and builder, and
Joseph Langley, section overseer
of the Southern Railroad, were badly
injured yesterday afternoon by the
explosion of dynamite cap with
which they were playing. The boys
found this cap somewhere near the
depot, and thinking to have some
fun they applied match to it. The
explosion took place sooner than the
youths expected, and before they
could get away.
Bowers's right arm and side were
terribly lacerated and otherwise
wounded, while his companion.
though not so seriously hurt, will be
in bed several days from the effects
of his injuries.

YOUNG WOMAN FALLS IN HOLE
Spartanburg Girl Badly Hurt and
Almost Drowned.

Spartanburg, March 5.-Mlss Stel'
la Rallenger, clerk in local dry
goods store, is confined to her home
and under a physicians care, as the
result of a distressing accident. As
she was walking along South Con
verse street several nights ago she
fell into deep hole dug by the tele'
phone company in putting its wires
under ground. The hole was about
eight feet deep and partly filled with
water. In addition to being pain,
fully bruised Miss Ballenger was al
most drowned. She remained in the
hole about ten minutes. Her cries
finally attracted a negro boy, who
summoned aid, and she was lifted
out of the hole and carried home in
a state of collapse. The red light
with which the hole is usually guard
ed had gone out.
