• During the holidays The Observer
saw in a New York paper an appeal
from a Northern school teacher for
contributions to make glad the
hearts of a lot of children “who
have never known Christmas.”
This latest discovery of objects for
Northern charity is located on “the
ridges around Mount Airy,” the
abiding jdaceof the desolate fofk
more coimnonly known as “Georgia
Crackers.” Monut Airy, be it known
is a well advertised resort on the
Southern Raiway and is in the heart
of one of the most civilized sections
of the benighted South. But this
evangelist has uncovered conditions
among the natives that are well
calculated to create a shudder. “Per
haps you will realize their life a
little,” she writes, *• if I could toll
you that few among them have ever
tasted candy, but they know well
enough how to manipulate a quid of
tobacco. Babies who have never
seen a toy will drink deep of fiery
corn whiskey. Look inside one of
these wretched cabins that honse
15 or 2D persons, half-naked child
ren crawling on the floor dipping
snnff, chewing tobacco, or sucking
clay. From the rafters hang Rev
olutionary musket; outside, the
ugly hounds and the razorbacks,
all lean and diseased, keep up a
continual howling.”
Then she follows up this rot with
a heartrending appeal for contribu
tions of any* sort of trash or tinsel
“to make these bleak souls happy.”
How long, O Lord ! how long is this,
sort of thing to continue? The
intelligent portion of liie North
years since happily c ome into a tet
ter knowledge of conditions among
the mountain people of the South.
This soggy-minded variety'of senti
mentalism now arouses disgust
where once it aroused resentment.
Is there no way in which to stop
it? Seems almost hopeless when
we reflect tnat Ochs, in whose
paper the “appeal” was made, is
not only a Southf rn man and pub
lisher of an influential Southern
paper, but got his education in a
mountain school. It is to be hoped
the Christmas box sent to make the
season a joyous one for these crawl
ing (’racker babies, carried no
superfluous sui^pie^ o! whiskey,
tobacco and snuff. They are well
provided such delightful commodi
ties you know—commodities abso
lutely necessary to the enjoyment
of juvenile life in the South.—(Char
lotte Observer.
