THRU POISONOUS CEED.

And II may not be out of place TO
remark in this connection, that If mis-
under standing does exist among the
white people of the South and the Ne
gro it is the result OF the poisonous
seeds planted fifty years ago by the
Carpet baggcrS sent down from the
North to the South for the purpose Of
picking the bones of an exhausted
people, and, who to carry out their
purposes aligned themselves with tho
poor, ignorant and dcluded Negro and
made him believe that he soon would
be handed title deeds to forty acres
4 land and a mule, both of which was

but rs soon :p' the supposed corpse re
vivcd the acavcngcrs fled; left the Ne
gro holding the empty sack. 1t is true
that Il few of the buZZards remained,
but they were OF the native variety
and had no where else to go.
Mr.. Harding seems TO have fallen
into the error of believing that when
Il Negro demands that his conStitut ION
al rights be conceded that he is bait
ling against race prejudice" When
the people OF the Philippines Islands
