"Where are you go-in-: V I asked. Just traveling around generally nowhere in particular," ho said and smiled agam an honest pleasant sort i E simile.

He tiijrew back his old coat and ; h v l the ends of a soldering j . sticking out of his pocket 1 dulled a smaller lump of r i U'H from another pocket and si lilei again. But my wife was t ! 1 1 ;;t home and I don't gener ally iijtnrfere with her -department kvilh out orders, and so I walked with him to the kitchen asked Mrs. Sicily Mims if e had any cold victuals for a ray faring man, though a fool, and sne looked at him with un disguised disgust and said she el maybe she could find something.

Can't get enough poor people to patronize it to make it respectable.

Joe Brown a hundred or so at his not in mines away in the ground not in jus shatts, or fire damp atmosphere, but in the i.illsid es wuu me neaveus iu .-ibiht, and as most of them live in our town and want to go to the night meetings ajnd enjoy themselves, old Joe hauls them out on his train every morning and hauls them at night. Talk about jthe poor, oppressed negro of the I south! I asked a .New York inan about the New York negro Sand he said that their "condition was very miserable c in pared with the negro here, n New York city they are con fined tb three streets, Sullivan, Sleeker and Thompson and tiicir ijamillies never gO out of khat quarter and white fo k- never go in it. They pass though it, of bourse, but they don't stop. The ngro men hire out by the day or the week as porters or as waiters iu certain hotels. Most every; occupation is shut against theml. They used to be barbers but tjhe Germans" have run them nt it that business and now fie Italians are running the ierilians out. The negro used to drive the cabs and busses, but jj:ou never see one with the reins; now unless it be on the private carriage of a southern i.teii'.ijj-man an old slave-owner, or ohrse. aou never see a .;o conductor of a streetcar i ;i x he elevated railway. You i verjsee one as a guest in the hotels. They are avoided m thai city railroad cars, l'as seng rs will sit by a dirty Ita lian rattier than by a clean weil-f -Fussed negro. It seems to be a i rejudice against contact and ii is uuiversal. The broad est philanthropy will not over come t. When the Methodists had their great conference two years ago the white members wer !rov idled for in tlie best private houses a the city, but the .negro bishops were sent to the negro hotels. You never see a negflp sitting with the whites if a dhurch or a theater or a restaurant. Their childern do not mix with white children at the scpools, They have their own Churches and their own ; liooljs. These negroes in New Vork ind their ancestors have been living there for a century and have made no progress, no advance in the arte or sciences ar inventions or in the higher professions or occupatioris.They are good, law-abiding citizens and give no trouble not as much trouble as the Italians or or the Irish. Some call this pre judice, but it is not prejudice. It is the law of natural repul sion and affects all classes. In Providence, R. I., there is a large population of negroes not black negroes nor flat-nosed. They seem to have come from a different tribe and couutry. They are of a copper color and are Rood, comely specimens of manhood, and womanhood, but they live to themselves and have their particular part of the city. They do not mix. Publ'c opinion is against it. The doors of all avocations and pro fessions are by law open to them, but in fact are closed against them. Iu former times they welcomed you in every town at the sign of the red, white and blue ; but they don't now. i was ruminating over this because .Haynes Miluer sent me my blacksmith's bill this morning and I paid it. For thirteen years I have been patronizing him because he was a good smun ana a gooa negro -j tK,- We have white smiths here, but our people do not quit the black smiths. In fact, they have the run of the custom. And so it is with negro carpente'rs, and masons, and gardener.', and cooks, and washwoman, and barbers, and draymen. In all such occupations the southern negro really gets the advantage. As tenants upon the farms and as teamsters and miners heKen erally is preferred. His race condition at the south is better and happier than the laboring classes of the Irish or German or Italian or the Swede. None of the:n have been able to drive tne negro from his friends or his friends from the negro. I never saw a good negro who did not have as many friends as he wanted. They can alweysget work at good wagee and are pro tected and defended against oppression. Haynes Milner's house was, burned, and the white folk's helped him to re build it. Their children get their schooling for nothing, and not a dollar of it comes from the Slater fund, or any other iuna, but ours. Our doctors visit their 6ick and hardly ever col lect their bills. Mrs. Sisily Minis get sick and wife sent lier meals-every day. In fact, thev do not have the carts and fears of the poor white people in this country. Tiny have an atibink faith in the abundance of food and clothing that is all around him, and if they can't get their share one way they can another. This is a fair picture of the negro as he is in North Georgia where there are neither too many nor too few where the relations between the races are friendly and kind, and always will be if.the howling hypocrites of the north will let us alone. If they do not,, and there should be a war of the races, the north will be held responsible for it before viod and man. The conservative people of the north need not tell us that they do not approve of the utterances of Ingalls, or Chandler, or Sherman, or Phelps or Cook upon the question. It is the duty of all good citizens to join issue with such men and denounce them for their lies and slanders. If Wanatnaker don't dare to appoint a netrro pastmaster in Providence, vhy should he in Athens or Ameri- cus? He asked Mr. Carlton, in a sneering way, if it would be safe for him to go to Athens and investigate, and Carlton re plied that better men than him had been there and were not molested, but the way our peo pie feel about the indignities and insults, and the revenges that Wanamaker and the pre sident have heaped upon ahem, they had both better stay a home. We want none of their sort to visit our section. What a pitiful spectacle it is. The president of a great nation has made himself so odious to third of his empire that he wouldn't dare to make a tour among his southern subjects We see that the Chautauqua, at Albanv. baa stooped so low as to invite him there. Athens wouldn't do it nor Americus I don't know what kind of peo pie they have in Albany, but in our part of the country we have not yet got so humble as to "Lick the hand that's rais ed to strike the blow," nor have we attained to that exalted Christan charity which says "if a man smites thee on one cheek turn the other to him a! so. We are just human, and Mr.J Harrison and Mr. Wanamaker will yet find out that they have the scorn and contempt of the Southern people. If their suc cess in securing this will help to prepetuate their power, let it be so. A boycott in trade is but a little thing, but a boycott that smothers the respect of fifteen millions of white people is a big thing, and will live in history. Bill Arp. Mr. Edison has engaged a suite df rooms in Charlotte for a year, to be used bv him and his assistant experts in making mining investi gations in that section, which he believes to be the richest mineral region on the face of the globe. - . v . - .

It is blistering stain nponthe administration of justice in the Uuited States Courts of Florida to have such reckless, lawless and untruthful Federal officials as Marshal Mizell and Clerk Walter, and there can be no re spect for law and authority and little hope of law and order in that community while the very saictuary of national justice is prostituted to the meanest tricks of the partisan. There will be peace and obedience to law in Florida whenever President Harrison furnishes Federal officials who them selves obey the law instead of provoking crime by crimnal lawlessness.

Mr. Jonathan Havens, says the Wilmington Star, is correct in its estimate of the profits; in the cultivation of Pecannuts. He sold from one tree, one hun dred and eighty pounds of pe cans at 16 2 3 cts. per pound: in all thirty dollars. At this rate, thirty trees covering one acre of ground, would give niue hundred dollars as the proceeds of the crop. New Beine Jour nal. It will take right much time before the farmers will realize their mistake in planting so much cotton, but eventually it must come. A change in the system of farming in Eastern North Carolina is needed and sooner or later it must come. f you visit a farmer who has raised a plenty of "hog and hominy" you may be assured that heis in good circumstances or at least it is generally a good token. Tarboro Southernor. OATS AND GRASS. Where not sown last fall, or n Januaiy, this is the next best month in which to sow oats. ndeed February oats are much less liable to be killed by told than those sown in January. Remember to sow an early variety, sow plenty of seed, fertilize liberally, and prepare the ground well. A spring sown oat crop must manure so quickly that the plant roots have not time to hunt out so to speak the meagre sup plies of plant food that are found in a poor or a badly pre pared soil. Now is the time also for sow- ng grass seeds. We have so often urged upon farmery the expediency of eowing grass that we now say no more than to call attention to it. Orchard tall oat, rescue, red top apd Bermuda grasses will succejed anywhere in the South. Plpw and harrow smooth, sow liber allv and do not plow or even harrow in the seed, but if con venient pass a heavy roller over the surface. Southern Cultiva tor. A PAD MISTAKE. We have recently seen a printed letter gotten out by an Alliance man who wants office. It sets forth in good style his fitness for the posi tion and eives what he con ceives to bt, good reasons why he should be supported. This thing, taken aside from the man's connection with tue Alliance, would not cause any couimsnt on our part, but when men try to use the Alli ance as a stepping stone to of fice, we must seriously object. The aspirant is in no way con nected with the State Alliance, either as an officer or as a com mitteemen, nor does he aspire to be Governor, but wants a place of public rust, and his printed letters give the na-ne of the Alliance to which he be longs. If a man wants the nomina tion of the Democratic party we wmt to see him seek it as a Democrat, but not constitute himself an. Alliance candidate, and send his printed, campaign circulars to differant Alliance men of prominence, seeking their endorsement, which, he in turn would add to his cam paign literature. If a brother is so well known and his fitness for a position is so evident that the people throughout the State want him to serve them, he will not have to send out letters to the order telling them who he is, and how he is needed in office. Those of our brethren who now or ever ex pect to indulge in that kind of policy will find that they have made a mistake. Simply being an Alliance man does not fit one for office anymore than it unfits him for it. The order will always condemn such at tempts to use its influence. That is the kind of politics we are to fear. Southern Alliance.
